Cobra Kai: fans dream of seeing these 3 Karate Kid characters again

Warning, spoilers. The following article reveals key plot elements of ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 5.

Although it started out on YouTube Red, there’s no denying that Cobra Kai is now a full-fledged Netflix original series, and one of the most popular on the platform, too.

A television sequel to the mythical film franchise Karate Kid, the series was able to count, from its beginnings, on the great star of the films, Ralph Macchio, in the role of Daniel LaRusso, and its main antagonist, Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka. .

Over the seasons, other familiar faces, unforgettable characters in the original saga, have reappeared in fiction. Some of the most incredible returns, like Martin Kove as John Kreese or Thomas Ian Griffith as Terry Silver, broke the cameo barrier and ended up being embedded in the plot in a lasting way. Other reappearances, shorter but just as satisfying (and surprising!) have also taken place, always to the delight of fans.

THE RETURNS OF SEASON 5

Among the most recent examples, we find the return of two former Karate Kid 3 (1989): Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) in episode 5×3, the former protege of Terry Silver, or even Jessica Andrews (Robyn Lively) , Daniel’s friend who worked in the pottery shop across from the bonsai business started by the latter and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita).

Reappearing in the 5th episode of season 5, “Extreme Measures”, she was also revealed to be the cousin of Daniel’s wife, Amanda (Courtney Henggeler), and is even the one who introduced them.

Similarly, the 5th season of Cobra Kai also marked the great return of Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) as a key character, after having benefited from a cameo in season 3 and having been the antagonist of Daniel in Karate Kid 2 (1986).

Many other characters from the franchise have also passed through the TV box, but there are still plenty that fans are dying to see again. However, it seems that time could be running out…

The trio of showrunners of the series have indeed already made it clear that they know perfectly well where the series is heading – as well as its end which is already looming on the horizon. It may well be that the potential next renewal of the show is therefore accompanied by an end date. It remains to be seen whether it will be in one or two seasons.

So who would fans like to see back on the show? Check out three names below for three dream cameos that haven’t yet come true in Cobra Kai and maybe never will. But we can always hope!
