Cobra Kai is an American martial arts comedy-drama streaming television series and a sequel to the original The Karate Kid films by Robert Mark Kamen.[2] The series was created by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, and stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, who reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence from the 1984 film The Karate Kid. Set 34 years later, Cobra Kai re-examines the "Miyagi-Verse" narrative from Johnny's point of view, his decision to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo, and the rekindling of his old rivalry with Daniel.[3] Cobra Kai also stars Courtney Henggeler, Xolo Maridueña, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, Martin Kove, Vanessa Rubio, and Peyton List.

The series has high viewership on both YouTube and Netflix, and has been met with generally positive reviews from critics. The third season also received the nomination for 'Outstanding Comedy Series' at the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards. The first season launched on YouTube Red in 2018, with a second season following in 2019. After production of season three was completed, YouTube decided to stop producing scripted original programming, leaving the show without a home. Netflix acquired the series in June 2020, and released the third season on January 1, 2021.[4] Netflix renewed the series for a fourth season, which is set to be released on December 31, 2021.[5][6] In August 2021, ahead of the fourth season premiere, the series was renewed for a fifth season.[7]

Plot[]

Thirty-four years after being defeated by Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All-Valley Karate Tournament, Johnny Lawrence, now in his 50s, works as a part-time handyman and lives in an apartment in Reseda, Los Angeles, having fallen far from the wealthy lifestyle in Encino that he had been accustomed to growing up. He has a son named Robby from a previous relationship whom he abandoned following his birth. After losing his job to an argument with one of his clients, a down-and-out Johnny uses karate to defend his new teenage neighbor Miguel Diaz from a group of bullies. Initially reluctant, Johnny agrees to train Miguel karate and decides to reopen the Cobra Kai karate dojo as a chance to recapture his past; however, this act reawakens his rivalry with Daniel, who is now the owner of a highly successful car dealership chain, is married to co-owner Amanda, and has two children: Samantha and Anthony. Daniel is finally living the wealthy lifestyle he envied as a kid when he lived in Reseda. However, after his friend and mentor Mr. Miyagi died, Daniel's struggle to meaningfully connect with his children has disrupted the balance in his life. Meanwhile, his mother Lucille, his other source of support, has a complicated relationship with Amanda.

Johnny's dojo attracts a group of bullied social outcasts who find camaraderie and self-confidence under his tutelage, a marked contrast to the kind of students Johnny and his friends were when training in the original Cobra Kai run by John Kreese. Johnny develops a bond with Miguel in a manner that resembles the relationship between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi. Cobra Kai's philosophy, however, remains mostly unchanged, though Johnny tries to infuse it with more honor than Kreese did. Thus, Miguel develops into a very different kind of student than Daniel, or even Johnny, was; he also begins dating Samantha.

As a means of revenge against his estranged father, Robby convinces Amanda to hire him for a position at the LaRusso Auto dealership and develops a close friendship with Daniel, who is initially unaware of Robby's parentage. He even studies Mr. Miyagi's form of Karate with Daniel and befriends and eventually starts dating Samantha after her breakup with Miguel. She eventually joins her father's dojo, along with some Cobra Kai defects. Miguel later begins dating a new Cobra Kai student, Tory, who becomes Sam's arch-rival. Johnny's efforts to reform Cobra Kai are threatened by the unexpected reappearance of Kreese, who aspires to bring the dojo back to its originally ruthless form while instigating further conflict between the rival dojos.

The story's development revolves around these primary relationships, which lead to conflicts that are ultimately the product of Daniel and Johnny's inability to move away from the past.

34 years after losing to Daniel LaRusso in the 1984 All Valley Under-18 Karate Championships Tournament, Johnny Lawrence struggles to make a living as a handyman and gets fired from his job after an argument with a customer while Daniel and his wife Amanda run a successful car dealership chain. Johnny saves his teenage neighbor Miguel Diaz from a group of bullies but is arrested for assaulting them. Miguel implores Johnny to teach him karate but Johnny initially refuses. Johnny is then visited by his wealthy stepfather Sid Weinberg, who gives Johnny a check before officially disowning him. After Johnny's car is wrecked in a hit-and-run, the car is towed to one of Daniel's dealerships for repairs. The next day, he goes to the dealership to take the car back, only to run into Daniel, reluctantly accepting a free car repair from Daniel, who considers him an old friend. There, Johnny realizes to his dismay that Daniel's daughter Samantha "Sam" LaRusso was one of the passengers in the hit-and-run. He eventually agrees to become Miguel's sensei and opens his own Cobra Kai dojo with the money from Sid.
22"Strike First"Jon Hurwitz & Hayden SchlossbergJosh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, & Hayden SchlossbergMay 2, 2018 (2018-05-02)
Miguel begins his karate training with Johnny, who teases him for his asthma and low self-esteem as motivation. The health department informs Johnny that the dojo needs a lot of work before he can officially teach students. Daniel learns Sam is romantically interested in a boy named Kyler and offers to invite him to a family dinner. At school, Miguel befriends social outcasts, Demetri and Eli, and develops an immediate crush on Sam. The boys also discover that Kyler is one of the bullies who attacked Miguel. Johnny is informed that his son, Robby Keene, has been caught with drugs at school. During dinner, Daniel notices Kyler's bruises and learns he received his injuries from Johnny. Daniel goes to the dojo to confront Johnny, who explains that Kyler and his friends attacked Miguel, leaving Daniel suspicious and concerned for Sam.

Johnny fails to recruit more students to the dojo, and Daniel decides to chaperone Sam to the school Halloween dance, embarrassing her when he catches her and Kyler alone in a suggestive scene. Miguel's karate training progresses as Johnny encourages him to use the Cobra Kai creed of "Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy" in his everyday life and gives him a skeleton costume (the same one Johnny wore in the first film) for the dance, where Miguel overhears Kyler and his friends sexually objectifying Sam. Remembering his training, he attacks Kyler but is overpowered and severely beaten by the bullies. Johnny, who has been at the school handing out flyers for Cobra Kai, finds Miguel in the bathroom.

After stealing a laptop from a customer as part of his routine, Robby learns of the new Cobra Kai dojo and is embarrassed by his father's recruitment methods. Johnny gets drunk due to being depressed about Carmen forbidding him from training Miguel due to the aftermath of the Halloween fight with Kyler's gang and vandalizes a LaRusso Auto billboard, while Sam witnesses Kyler bullying Miguel, Demetri, and Eli. Kyler aggressively attempts to sexually harass Sam at a movie theater, but she fends him off and storms out of the movie theater, ending their relationship. Johnny confronts Robby after learning he has been skipping school. Robby responds by adamantly refusing to go back to school and angrily pointing out that Johnny abandoned him for 16 years and that Johnny's own life is wasted. Johnny tracks down a resentful Shannon at a local bar but she angrily rejects him, telling him that there are no do-overs in life. Vowing not to fail Miguel the way he failed his son and Shannon, Johnny pleads for Miguel's mom Carmen to let him continue Miguel's training. Daniel discovers that Johnny was the one who vandalized the LaRusso Auto billboard.
55"Counterbalance"Josh HealdJosh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, & Hayden SchlossbergMay 2, 2018 (2018-05-02)
Miguel shows improvement in both his karate skills and his health. Daniel tries to make a shady deal that could shut down Cobra Kai but hurts innocent business owners in the process. Sam's classmate and former friend Aisha Robinson joins Cobra Kai, despite Johnny's initial misgivings about training girls. Sam discovers that Kyler has been spreading nasty rumors about her. When Kyler embarrasses Sam and makes her an outcast at school, Miguel stands up for her and successfully defeats Kyler and his friends, gaining Sam's respect. Robby decides to reconcile with his father but witnesses Johnny bonding with Miguel, feeling disowned. Amanda notices the changes in Daniel's behavior since the reopening of Cobra Kai, leading Daniel to visit Mr. Miyagi's grave to reflect and ask for wisdom. As Daniel prepares to drive away, he suddenly recalls Miyagi after he gifted Daniel his yellow 1948 Ford Super De Luxe convertible on his 18th birthday, reminding him that the lessons on maintaining balance didn't just apply to karate, but one's entire life. Robby applies for a job at LaRusso Auto to get back at his father and Daniel returns to practicing karate to regain balance in his life.

Daniel and Amanda unsuccessfully persuade Sam to take up karate again. The footage of Miguel's fight at school goes viral, bringing many new students to the Cobra Kai dojo, but Johnny cannot suppress his old ways and especially embarrasses Eli in front of the entire class for his cleft lip and causes Demetri to quit on his first day due to Demetri being unable to become accustomed to Johnny’s abrasive personality. Thanks to Miguel, Johnny is forced to remember his childhood as an outcast with an uncaring stepfather before he discovered Cobra Kai. Johnny admits that he has been tough and cruel to his remaining students, but plans to continue his ways, telling them that life is not fair and they must overcome the challenges that life will throw at them. Eli returns to the dojo with a distinctive mohawk haircut, for which Johnny nicknames him "Hawk". Robby gets a job at LaRusso Auto to get back at his father, as Miguel and Sam slowly develop a friendship at school. Robby decides to learn karate under Daniel's tutelage after Louie's antics inadvertently lead to him visiting Daniel's house.

Johnny uses painful methods to train his new students. Getting advice from Johnny, Miguel asks Sam out on a successful date. Johnny tries to enter Cobra Kai in the All Valley Karate tournament only to learn the dojo is permanently banned due to the transgressions and poor sportsmanship committed in the 1985 tournament by Kreese, Terry Silver, and Mike Barnes. At a meeting of the athletic committee, Johnny tries to persuade them to reverse the ban but is opposed by Daniel, a committee member. As his closing argument, he tells the committee that his teachings are different from those of Kreese and Silver, claiming that he has learned from his past mistakes and that his dojo is now a place where people are taught self-confidence and how to stand up for themselves. The committee is convinced by Johnny's apparent sincerity and allows Cobra Kai to compete, much to Daniel's dismay. Despite initially agreeing to help his gang sneak inside the dealership at night, Robby turns against them and stops them using his karate skills and a security camera.

After being allowed to compete in the tournament, Johnny introduces additional training and unconventional methods. The LaRussos learn that Cobra Kai will compete, with only Sam being convinced Cobra Kai has changed (due to her romance with Miguel). Daniel's cousin Louie decides to take action against Johnny, who warns Miguel about Sam and the LaRusso family, telling him a biased narration of how Daniel involved himself with Johnny's ex-girlfriend Ali Mills Schwarber in 1984. Carmen invites Johnny to dinner, where he learns more about Miguel's family and is inspired to clean up his life, severing ties with Sid after paying off the money he borrowed and attempting to make amends with Robby. Daniel continues bonding with Robby, who hides his parentage and his initial intention for revenge against his estranged father Johnny from Daniel and joins the LaRussos for dinner. At the LaRusso house, Miguel sees Sam and Robby bonding, leaving him heartbroken. Meanwhile, Louie and his thugs destroy Johnny's car by setting it on fire, and Johnny furiously retaliates by beating them up and forcing Louie to reveal Daniel's address.

Teleplay by : Jason Belleville		May 2, 2018 (2018-05-02)
Johnny arrives at the LaRusso house and has a brief confrontation with Daniel before Amanda defuses the situation by inviting Johnny over for breakfast. Daniel decides to fire Louie and compensate Johnny with a car in the dealership's trade-in lot. Unexpectedly, Daniel and Johnny bond during the test drive, enjoying rock music together, visiting Daniel's old apartment, and sharing about their lives before they met. Sam is grounded after Amanda learns she was involved in Johnny's hit-and-run, causing her to miss many calls from Miguel due to Amanda confiscating her phone as punishment for hiding the information about the hit-and-run accident. At the party, Aisha attacks Yasmine, one of the rich girls and her bully, by giving her a front wedgie in retaliation for her cyber-bullying as Robby breaks Sam out of her home for the party, but a drunk Miguel tries to pick a fight with Robby and accidentally hits Sam instead, convincing her that her father was right about Cobra Kai and causing her to break up with Miguel. Johnny drives Daniel home where he finds Robby. Furious that his son has been secretly learning karate from Daniel, Johnny attacks Daniel by shoving him against the wall and breaking one of his All-Valley trophies while Daniel is simultaneously shocked and horrified to learn that Robby is Johnny's son after Robby defends Daniel and tells his father Johnny to back off. Feeling betrayed by Robby's dishonesty, Daniel furiously fires Robby and banishes him from his home.
1010"Mercy"Jon Hurwitz & Hayden SchlossbergJosh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, & Hayden SchlossbergMay 2, 2018 (2018-05-02)
Cobra Kai returns to the 50th Anniversary All Valley Under-18 Karate Championship led by Miguel. Robby also participates, unaffiliated with any dojo. Miguel and Hawk advance to the semifinals, while Aisha is depressed after she is eliminated in the quarterfinals, but she and Sam reconcile after Sam apologizes to Aisha for her former association with Yasmine. Hawk is disqualified for dislocating Robby's left shoulder with a kick from behind. After arguing with Miguel, Sam leaves the tournament and returns to the family dojo where she seemingly gets back to practicing karate. After Robby apologizes to Daniel for hiding the fact that he is Johnny's son, Daniel reconciles with Robby and assists Robby back into the ring, now as his sensei, but Miguel exploits Robby's injured shoulder to win the match, as Johnny realizes that his methods have corrupted Miguel. After the match, Daniel takes Robby to Mr. Miyagi's old home and reveals that he plans to use it as a dojo to continue Robby's training and teach others Miyagi-Do karate. At the Cobra Kai dojo, a drunk and miserable Johnny is confronted by Kreese, who praises him for resurrecting Cobra Kai.

Production[]

The thematic genesis for Cobra Kai began with two works of pop culture. First, the 2007 music video for the song "Sweep the Leg" by No More Kings stars William Zabka (who also directed the video) as a caricature of himself as Johnny, and features references to The Karate Kid, including cameo appearances by Zabka's former Karate Kid co-stars.[12][13] In a 2010 interview, Zabka jokingly discussed this video in the context of his vision that Johnny was the true hero of the film.[14] Then, in 2013, Macchio and Zabka made guest appearances as themselves in the television sitcom How I Met Your Mother ("The Bro Mitzvah"). In the episode, Macchio is invited to Barney Stinson's bachelor party, leading to Barney shouting that he hates Macchio and that Johnny was the real hero of The Karate Kid. Towards the end of the episode, a clown in the party wipes off his makeup and reveals himself as Zabka.[15]

Development[]

Cobra Kai was greenlit on August 4, 2017, with ten half-hour episodes, written and executive produced by Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg. Although the series received offers from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and AMC, it ultimately ended up on the subscription service YouTube Red.[16][17] The trio was joined by executive producers James Lassiter and Caleeb Pinkett of Overbrook Entertainment in association with Sony Pictures Television.[18] YouTube Premium released the first season on May 2, 2018, and the second season on April 24, 2019. It renewed the third season, initially for a 2020 release.[19][20]

On May 28, 2020, Deadline Hollywood announced that the series would be leaving YouTube and moving to another streaming platform, ahead of its third-season premiere. As YouTube was not interested in renewing the series for a fourth season, the producers wanted to find a streaming venue that would leave that option open.[21] On June 22, 2020, it was announced that the show would be moving to Netflix.[22] Netflix released the first two seasons on August 28, 2020, and the third season released on January 1, 2021.[4] On October 2, 2020, Netflix announced an early renewal for a fourth season, prior to season 3 being released.[23] On August 27, 2021, ahead of the fourth season premiere, Netflix renewed the series for a fifth season.[7]

The creators of the series explored moving to another platform ahead of the season two premiere, but the deal did not go through.[24]

As part of a video and letter to its shareholders in April 2021, Netflix's co-chief executive officer and chief content officer, Ted Sarandos confirmed that the fourth season of Cobra Kai is expected to premiere sometime in Q4 2021.[25][26]

Miyagi-Verse[]

Characters from the original four films The Karate Kid (1984), The Karate Kid Part II (1986), The Karate Kid Part III (1989), The Next Karate Kid (1994) comprise the Miyagi-verse that shapes Cobra Kai. Thus, after the launch of Season 1, Elisabeth Shue (Ali Mills) from The Karate Kid,[27][28] Tamlyn Tomita (Kumiko) and Yuji Okumoto (Chozen Toguchi) from The Karate Kid II,[28] and Robyn Lively (Jessica Andrews)[29] and Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver) from The Karate Kid III, all discussed whether or not they would like to appear in the series.[30] Sean Kanan (Mike Barnes)[31] (also from Karate Kid III) stated in a 2021 interview (when asked if Barnes will appear in the series) that "you probably haven't seen the last of him."[32] Finally, although Hilary Swank (who as Julie Pierce replaced Daniel as Mr. Miyagi's student in The Next Karate Kid), has neither confirmed nor denied her interest, she did acknowledge that it would be a chance to have a "showdown" with Ralph Macchio.[33] In December 2020, the series' co-creators stated that: "In our writers' room we speak about literally every character that has appeared in the Miyagi-verse, so it's obvious that we've spoken about Julie Pierce. As to whether or not she'll return to the series, that's something you'll just have to wait to find out."[34]

In 2020, Jon Hurwitz clarified that the "Karate Kid cartoon is not canon. But there is an Easter egg from it in Season 3," in response to the question as to whether "the Karate Kid animated series [is] official within the Karate Kid universe?"[35] The Easter egg was "the Miyagi-Do shrine, briefly seen at Chozen Toguchi's dojo in Okinawa halfway through the season. The artifacts were recovered by Daniel LaRusso and Mister Miyagi in the short-lived Karate Kid animated series, which ran for thirteen episodes in 1989."[36]

In a 2021 interview with Slashfilm, the writers noted that they will not be using characters from the 2010 film The Karate Kid, as they are not a part of the "Miyagi-verse": "We've ruled that out completely. Jackie Chan is mentioned in season 1 of the show as an actor, so I think in our world, Jackie Chan is an actor and a performer. If the characters on our show have seen a movie called The Karate Kid, they've seen that one."[37]

Casting[]

In Season 1, Ralph Macchio and William Zabka revived their Karate Kid characters, Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. Additional Karate Kid actors included Randee Heller, who reprised her role as Lucille LaRusso (Daniel's mother),[38] and Martin Kove, who revived his role as John Kreese.[39] The cast list for Season One was announced on October 24, 2017, and included Xolo Maridueña, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, and Courtney Henggeler. Ed Asner was cast in a guest role as Johnny's verbally abusive step-father, Sid Weinberg.[40][41] On December 19, 2017, Vanessa Rubio joined the cast as Miguel's mother.[42]

In Season 2, Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Xolo Mariduena, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Courtney Henggeler all returned,[39] with Jacob Bertrand, Gianni DeCenzo, and Martin Kove being promoted to series regulars and newcomers Paul Walter Hauser and Peyton List joining the cast.[43][44] Actors from The Karate Kid, Rob Garrison (Tommy), Ron Thomas (Bobby), Tony O'Dell (Jimmy), and Randee Heller (Lucille LaRusso) made guest appearances during this season.

In Season 3, Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Xolo Mariduena, Tanner Buchanan, Mary Mouser, and Courtney Henggeler all returned. Actors from The Karate Kid and The Karate Kid II, Elisabeth Shue (Ali Mills), Ron Thomas (Bobby), Tamlyn Tomita (Kumiko), Traci Toguchi (Yuna), and Yuji Okumoto (Chozen Toguchi) all made guest appearances during this season.

In Season 4, Vanessa Rubio and Peyton List were promoted to series regulars, [8] while Dallas Dupree Young and Oona O'Brien were cast in recurring roles.[8] In addition, Thomas Ian Griffith will reprise his role as Terry Silver from The Karate Kid III.[10]

Filming[]

Principal photography for the first season began in October 2017 in Atlanta, Georgia. Filming took place at various locations throughout that month at places including Union City, Marietta, and the Briarcliff Campus of Emory University.[45] In November 2017, shooting moved to locales such as the North Atlanta Soccer Association Tophat fields in East Cobb.[46] In December 2017, the production was working out of Marietta and Conyers.[47] Various exterior shots were also filmed in parts of Los Angeles such as Tarzana and Encino.[48] Exterior locations included Golf N' Stuff in Norwalk and the South Seas Apartments in Reseda, both of which were originally featured in The Karate Kid.[49]

Principal photography for the second season began in September 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia. In October 2018, production continued around Atlanta with shooting also occurring in Marietta.[50] In November 2018, the series was filming in Union City.[51] In December 2018, shooting transpired at the closed Rio Bravo Cantina restaurant in Atlanta.[52]

Principal photography for the fourth season began in February 2021 and ended in April 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia.[53][54]

Filming for the fifth season began in September 2021, and completed filming in December 2021.[55]

Release[]

Marketing[]

In January 2018, the series was promoted at the annual Television Critics Association's winter press tour where YouTube's global head of original content Susanne Daniels described the show saying, "It is a half an hour format but I would call it a dramedy. I think it leans into the tone of the movies in that there are dramatic moments throughout. I think it's very faithful really in some ways to what the movie set about doing, the lessons imparted in the movie if you will. It's next generation Karate Kid."[56]

The first trailer was released on February 15, 2018,[57] the second on March 1, 2018,[58] and the third a week later.[59] The final official trailer was released on March 21, 2018, and included the announcement that the show would premiere on May 2, 2018.[60]

On April 17, 2019, YouTube Premium released a six-minute commercial parodying ESPN's 30 for 30, featuring the main cast members and select ESPN personalities analyzing the 1984 match between Daniel and Johnny.[61][62] It was nominated for a Clio Award.[63]

Premiere[]

The series held its world premiere on April 24, 2018, at the SVA Theatre in New York City, New York, during the annual Tribeca Film Festival. Following the screening, a discussion was held with writers, directors, and executive producers Hayden Schlossberg, Jon Hurwitz, and Josh Heald, in addition to series stars and co-executive producers William Zabka and Ralph Macchio.[64]

On April 25, 2018, YouTube partnered with Fathom Events for special screenings of the first two episodes of the series at around 700 movie theaters across the United States. The event also included a screening of the original film.[65][66]

Viewership[]

YouTube[]

The first episode, which was posted on YouTube for free along with episode two, had been viewed 5.4 million times within the first 24 hours.[75] While it was noted that the response had been, in part, a result of YouTube releasing the episode for free, it was noted by Cinema Blend's Britt Lawrence that, "YouTube Red's new series debuted to numbers that should make rival streaming services take notice."[76] By October 30, 2018, ahead of the second-season premiere, YouTube was promoting the report that the first episode had then been viewed over 50 million times.[77] The first episode was No. 8 on YouTube's list of ten top-trending videos of 2018.[78]

According to market research company Parrot Analytics, the first season of Cobra Kai was the world's most in-demand streaming television show during May 2018.[79] Parrot Analytics later reported that the second season of Cobra Kai was the world's most in-demand digital television show during April 2019[80] through May 2019.[81] As of September 2020, the season 1 premiere has over 90 million views,[82] and the season 2 premiere has over 86 million views.[83]

Netflix[]

After the series moved to Netflix in August 2020, Season 1 and Season 2 of Cobra Kai became the most-watched series on the platform.[84] It was the most-watched show on streaming media in the United States between August 29 and September 6, according to Nielsen ratings. During the week, the show's 20 episodes drew nearly 2.2 billion streaming minutes in the United States.[85] The first season was watched on Netflix by 50 million member households in its first four weeks,[86] making Cobra Kai the most-streamed show on Netflix during the month of September 2020.[87][88]

In February 2021, after the release of Season 3, Forbes announced that it "kicked off 2021 as one of most viewed original series on a streaming platform". During the period of December 28, 2020 – January 3, 2021, it came in "second only to Netflix's Bridgerton", with over 2.6 billion viewing minutes.[89] Cobra Kai then moved to first place during the period of January 4–10, 2021.[90]

Cultural commentary[]

Shortly after the debut of the third season, Jen Yamato of Los Angeles Times noted that, "there are now three white men at the center of Cobra Kai, a franchise rooted in and deeply indebted to Eastern tradition."[91] While she notes that in this season Yuji Okumoto and Tamlyn Tomita reprised their roles from The Karate Kid II, Cobra Kai "has yet to cast an Asian lead".[91] She also quoted Ana-Christina Ramon who argues that "except for the Latino character of Miguel, all the other people of color are outside of that main cast, so it actually doesn't show as a diverse show in a sense."[91] Yamato further states that Ralph Macchio "pushed" for Tomita and Okumoto's return, and she quotes one of the show's writers, Schlossberg, as stating: "Having made Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle we've been particularly sensitive to Asian American representation in movies and television."[91] The writers also note that while there are currently no writers of Asian descent on staff, they have turned to Tomita, Okumoto, the stunt coordinator , and the original Karate Kid screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen for guidance.[91]

On January 18, 2021, Gustavo Arnellano of Los Angeles Times suggested that Cobra Kai offers a "a way forward for all of us during these tumultuous times", as he "saw this uplifting season [3] finale the weekend before the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol invasion. My rage and desire for fire and brimstone in its aftermath were tempered by the lessons that Cobra Kai had just depicted."[92] He bases his argument on the fact that "Cobra Kai teaches that the bad guys and girls of the world shouldn't be vanquished but rather brought into the light of good — deprogrammed instead of defeated. There are profound insights about repentance, redemption, forgiveness for past sins and unity in the face of existential evil."[92]

In a February 2021 column for The Hollywood Reporter, former NBA champion and student of martial arts Kareem Abdul-Jabbar suggests that his friend and teacher, the late Bruce Lee, was linked to the influence of the original Karate Kid films.[93] He also argues that Lee "would have loved [Cobra Kai] because he saw martial arts not just as a way to defend against enemies, but as a way to defend against one's own self-destructive impulses."[93] Although he states that Lee might have been "mildly disappointed" in the "portrayal of the actual martial arts moves", which may reflect the fact that Cobra Kai is a family show (as well as the lack of involvement of teachers in the school fights), he states that these are minor areas, outweighed by its reflection of Lee's belief that "martial arts heals because it helps one identify their problems and adapt to solving them".[93]

In June 2021, Albert Wu and Michelle Kuo of the Los Angeles Review of Books argued that while the original Karate Kid "film functioned as a post-Vietnam critique of American empire, staking its position explicitly: pacifism over violence, peace over war, an admittedly romanticized version of Eastern wisdom over the macho bravado of jock culture," Cobra Kai "models" the "unending appeal" of the "American Empire ...[as it] dares to display what Susan Sontag called fascism’s “solemn eroticism." They further suggest that had "it mapped more piously to historical reality, we might have seen Kreese openly espousing white supremacy, deploying religious rhetoric, fomenting anti-communist or anti-Semitic views. But Cobra Kai also captures the complexity of racial divides, declining to portray the white students as bullies and the kids of color the victim-heroes."[94]
