Cobra Kai season Three hypothesis on what’s subsequent
The way forward for Cobra Kai
Regardless of having his scholar’s greatest pursuits at coronary heart, Johnny Lawrence has misplaced the loyalty of the Cobra Kai college students to his former sensei John Kreese. So as to add insult to harm Kreese has additionally taken over the possession of the dojo.
To win again Cobra Kai, Johnny must win again the loyalty of his college students. Sadly, it might take Kreese pushing the scholars to absolutely the restrict earlier than they notice Johnny is the higher sensei.

Will Miguel make a full restoration?
The struggle in school between the scholars of Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai resulted in tragedy. Lots of the college students had been injured, however none so had been worse than what occurred to Miguel.
The final we noticed of Miguel was him post-surgery on his neck/again, and unconscious within the hospital.
Assuming he could make a restoration, Miguel will likely be fortunate if he may even stroll, not to mention participate in Karate as soon as extra. Even when Miguel wished to return to karate, his mom might put a cease to that right away. On the very least, he received’t be going again to Cobra Kai if she has her means.

The way forward for Miyagi-Do
Because the return of Cobra Kai a fireplace has been lit within the stomach of Daniel LaRusso.
Identical to Sensei Lawrence, Daniel believes he has had the curiosity of scholars at coronary heart, however in actuality, his actions have escalated the feud between himself and Cobra Kai. This culminated on the finish of the second season when each dojos fought in school, resulting in the accidents of a number of college students.
Robby gravely injuring Miguel means Daniel has failed as a instructor and mentor to the younger man. This will likely weigh closely on Daniel, seemingly making him think about closing the Miyagi-Do dojo.
The dojo has prompted numerous friction between his marriage, household, work, and his personal effectively being. Amanda has made it clear that she needs Daniel to cease doing karate nevertheless it’s in the perfect curiosity of everybody that Miyagi-Do stays open, so it may counter Kreese and his loyal Cobra Kai college students.
There’s additionally the prospect that each Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai might be banned from the following All Valley match for his or her actions in school.

Johnny will likely be in severe want of assist after the occasions of season 2, however with Robby nowhere to be discovered, an injured Sam and Miguel, to not point out Cobra Kai beginning the struggle in school, Johnny often is the final particular person Daniel needs to see.
If they’ll push apart their variations for the sake of their households, and respective dojos, we might really see the pair grow to be associates. This street might start if Johnny is prepared to study the philosophy of Miyagi-Do and discover some inside peace.

The place is Robby?
After gravely injuring Miguel, Robby didn’t stand round to see the aftermath of his actions. Selecting to run away, we by no means noticed the place Robby ended up.
Robby doesn’t have anyplace to go. His mom is in rehab and her residence is up for eviction. The Russo’s are unlikely to take him again in, his outdated associates hate him, to not point out he has an especially poor relationship along with his dad.
Johnny was a father determine in Miguel’s life, and the now-former sensei was deeply emotional for what occurred to his scholar. Even though Robby is his son, he might not take too kindly to seeing the boy arrive on his doorstep, to not point out Johnny lives reverse which can incite even additional wrath from Miguel’s mom.
Come season Three we might see Robby residing on the streets, struggling to get by.
