Cobra Kai season 5 has been filmed and according to multiple reports, fans won’t have to wait an entire year. After an action-packed season 4 finale featuring many twists, next season could shape up to be the best one yet.
Terry Silver's double-crossing of John Kreese was quite the surprise and he now takes over from Cobra Kai and franchises. Silver, played by Thomas Ian Griffith, was an excellent addition and could have many more surprises in store. Chozen also returned in the season 4 finale, which provided a better idea of what direction they’ll will be heading in.
With many past Karate Kid characters returning, it’ll be interesting to see how their story continues. The conclusion of season 4 left many questions that will hopefully be answered in the new season. This list will look at 5 questions that could be answered in Cobra Kai season 5
#5) How big of a role will Miguel Diaz’s father have in season 5?
One of the main talking points since the first season has been the identity of Miguel Diaz’s father. His father has been described as a bad individual throughout the series, which had viewers creating many theories.
Season 4 provided more clarity as Miguel revealed to Daniel that he found out his father lives in Mexico. Following the All-Valley tournament, he left a note for his mother saying that he’s going to find his father. However, in another plot twist, Carmen tells Johnny Lawrence that his father doesn’t know his son exists.
Miguel’s father being unaware he has a son makes things interesting because he might not be accepting of him. It remains to be seen how significant of a role he’ll have in the series. But, Johnny and his son, Robby, both tracking him down could signify it could be for more than one episode. Miguel's story arc of going to Mexico could potentially become just as significant as Daniel's trip to Okinawa, Japan.
#4) Will Tory Nichols join Miyagi-Do in season 5?
Another question that could be answered in season 5 is whether Tory Nichols will join Miyagi-Do. Despite confiding in Amanda LaRusso in season 4, she continues her rivalry with Samantha LaRusso until the All-Valley tournament.
Tory defeats Samantha in the finals, but she then finds out that Terry Silver paid off the referee. This is interesting because it may lead to her leaving Cobra Kai in the next season. With her opening up to Amanda, she may reveal to Daniel that Silver had the finals fixed.
Silver could then try getting even, which could result in Tory joining her rival at Miyagi-Do. She wouldn’t be the first top Cobra Kai member to do so as Eli ‘Hawk’ Moskowitz joined Miyagi-Do in season 4. There could be something similar planned for Tory, which could be interesting because she'd have to co-exist with Samantha.
#3) Will John Kreese get revenge on Terry Silver in season 5?
The biggest surprise came in the season 4 finale, when Silver betrayed Kreese and had him arrested. Silver had beaten up ‘Stingray’ and offered him a spot in Cobra Kai if he did a favor for him.
While celebrating their All-Valey win, he mentions Johnny was the real reason why Kreese wanted to relive their glory days. As the tension begins to rise, Silver confronts him for using the Vietnam war to make him feel guilty.
“I’m shedding my weakness, Captain.” - Terry Silver to John Kreese (Cobra Kai, Season 4, Episode 10)
The police then arrive and place him under arrest following ‘Stingray’s confession. Kreese then tells Silver that he’s going to regret what he did to him. There are many interesting theories on what that could mean. He could join forces with Johnny and Daniel, expose Silver for bribing an official, or just go after him alone.
#2) Will Daniel LaRusso and Terry Silver fight in season 5?
The animosity between Daniel and Silver could finally reach its breaking point and in season 5. Silver was introduced in Karate Kid III, where he manipulated Daniel and damaged his relationship with Mr. Miyagi. He also terrorized him and forced him to fight in the All-Valley tournament.
In season 4, Silver reappeared and essentially picked up where he left off. After his attempt at an apology isn’t accepted Daniel, he makes it his mission to antagonize Miyagi-Do and Eagle-Fang. It’s interesting to point out that Daniel and Silver never had a climactic fight in Karate Kid III. Instead, Daniel won the All-Valley tournament at the end the film.
Silver and Daniel share a couple of scenes together in season 4, but it’s Johnny who ends up fighting him. With that in mind, season 5 could finally see Daniel get revenge on Silver for what he put him through.
#1) Will Mike Barnes return and align with Terry Silver in season 5?
The biggest question that could be answered is whether Mike Barnes will finally appear in season 5. Barnes, played by Sean Kanan, served as the villain along with Silver in Karate Kid III. Fans of the series have wondered when ‘Karate’s Bad Boy’ would rekindle his rivalry with Daniel. He has expressed interest in joining the cast, so it could be inevitable.
After the events that took place in season 4, next season could see him return to help run Cobra Kai. While Kreese was arrested in the season 4 finale, Silver hints at what's to come. He mentioned that he’s sure he could find “a friend or two to help out with Cobra Kai.”
Based on what Silver said, the logical choice would be Barnes. There’s history between the two from Karate Kid III and Silver may’ve been plotting his revenge prior to joining Kreese. His addition also ties-in to Johnny and Kreese’s story as they could find out who the better Cobra Kai fighter was.
