New Cobra Kai Season 5 Images Reveal a Returning Legacy Character - Gizmodo

Cobra Kai season four ended on a few massive cliffhangers.

Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) had successfully framed John Kreese (Martin Kove) for assault and taken full control of Cobra Kai, while Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) called in an old friend from his past, Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), to help him defeat the evil dojo.

That’s the state of karate in the Valley when Cobra Kai returns for season five September 9 on Netflix.

But any Karate Kid fans out there who know that Terry Silver is now the main bad guy on the show shouldn’t be that surprised.

Barnes was the main villain in The Karate Kid Part III.

He’s a karate superstar hired by Terry Silver to specifically abuse Daniel, physically and mentally.

And it worked—though Daniel did ultimately triumph and retain his All Valley Karate championship?

Another cliffhanger at the end of Cobra Kai season four was that Tory (Peyton List) found out that Silver bought her championship.

So this season he brings in some help, including this mystery woman who has an interesting link to his past?

The women seem dressed up for a night out with Daniel and Johnny.

Amanda LaRusso seems rightfully skeptical at an offering from the evil Terry Silver
