The action-packed first season was a super hit with a strong plot. The first season escalates as Daniel bids Johnny’s son Robby (Tanner Buchanan) for a fight against the Cobra Kai. On the other hand, Johnny coaches Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) to fight against his own son.
By the end of the season, Miguel wins the All-Valley Karate Tournament by defeating Robby. Johnny gets his 30-year old revenge, which he couldn’t enjoy for longer. Johnny’s old violent sensei, John Kreese (Martin Kove) returns as an unpleasant surprise for him. Hence, there are chances that the new season may unravel their equation.
