Netflix has released the full trailer for Cobra Kai Season 5, and it looks like a kickass season loaded with lots of epic karate action! Terry Silver’s (Thomas Ian Griffith) Cobra Kai is taking over the Valley in a great way, and things are getting totally out of hand!
Daniel (Ralph Macchio) is persistent to stop him and take him down and he joins Johnny (William Zabka) and with his old rival Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) to help.
“The battle for the soul of the Valley may be over, but the war is just beginning.”
In Season 5, “Following the shocking results of the All Valley Tournament, Sensei Terry Silver is expanding the Cobra Kai empire and trying to make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only game in town. With Kreese behind bars and Johnny Lawrence setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he’s caused, Daniel LaRusso must call on an old friend for help.”
Cobra Kai co-creator Hayden Schlossberg previously talked about leading up to the events of the upcoming season, saying:
“When Daniel went to Okinawa [in Cobra Kai Season 3], we saw that Chozen had lived this life of shame, coming off the events of Karate Kid II. And that Daniel coming to Okinawa gave him an opportunity to redeem himself in his eyes. And we always felt that he showed him a couple moves, but he’s always going to feel that responsibility to help Daniel.”
“And so, the fact that at the end of Season 4, things are worse than they’ve ever been. Cobra Kai is more popular than it’s ever been, with Terry Silver relishing it and in full force and Daniel supposedly having to shut down Miyagi Do. That when you think about it from Daniel’s perspective, what does he have to come back from this?”
Cobra Kai Season 5 will be released on September 9th on Netflix.
