Predictions: Cobra Kai Season 5

With Cobra Kai Season 4 having just finished, focus now heads to the 5th season of the show. Filming has already completed for the 5th season and with everything we know and what happened in the most recent seasons here are my predictions for Season 5 of Cobra Kai. 

Mike Barnes will return

At the end of season 4, Terry Silver steals Cobra Kai from John Kreese to succeed in his vision. While Kreese is being arrested he claims that he can recruit others who know Cobra Kai. Really the only other major character connected to the organisation is Mike Barnes. He was the student of Silver in The Karate Kid 3 and I can see his return for this upcoming season. 

Johnny will go to Mexico to find Miguel

The season ends with Miguel leaving for Mexico in order to try and find his birth father. Johnny says he will find him so I can see Johnny heading to Mexico to find Miguel. Their dynamic is really effective and scenes between the two of them are always great to watch. It has also been insinuated that Miguel's father is a bad guy so Johnny may be needed to fight some cartel bad guys. 

Daniel will go on the offensive but will struggle

After the loss to Cobra Kai, Daniel LaRusso goes back on the deal and apologises to Mr Miyagi's grave that he has to go on the offensive. That is when he reunites with former rival Chozen and they agree to work together. We saw Daniel try to do this with Johnny and even though he seems more on board to going on the offence I can see Daniel struggling with this change of style. 

Tory will leave Cobra Kai

Tory ends up winning the Female All Valley Tournament and the whole competition for Cobra Kai. Throughout the season there is more complexity and depth to her and that seems to be in the pipeline for next season too. She catches Silver paying off the ref to make sure she won and surely Tory will confront him about this and especially when she finds out what happened to Kreese. 

Stingray will help take down Terry Silver 

We see Stingray return this season and aid Silver in taking Cobra Kai away from Kreese. But I can see this backfiring for Silver, he will probably reject Stingray next season and maybe with Tory and Robbie's help he will end up aiding in Silvers downfall. 

There will be no All Valley Tournament

Season 4 ended with The All Valley Tournament. But this usually means that the next season will not have the tournament and I feel like that will be the case for Season 5 of Cobra Kai. Other things are going on that won't be involved with the tournament so it is probably the best choice to hold back from using it. 

Overall

Overall, I love Cobra Kai and I am excited to see what this next season is going to do and explore in this world.
