The character evolution has began. Threw Johnny's suffering John learns new method from his star student, as the review board hears Cobra Kai's argument to get reinstated for All Valley Karate tournament. Danial has a new student, which Danial does not realize is John's kid, who needs the approach of balance which Danial's Karate teaches. Both Zabka and Machio have a strong screen presence. The story unfolds of the forming of a rivalry of new Dojos. Creating the divide bigger Danial's daughter is dating Cobra Kai's star student. Cobra Kai is a balance of realism, soap opera, and action. Each character has there own motives and faults. The story goes full circle as Danial is Mr M teaching a lost younger version of Danial. This protege is angry has family and father issues. Looking at Danial as a father figure. I wonder if the talented protege will surpass the master one day. 9 stars.

I don't hate this episode at all, I like this show a lot. But I have to get this out because it's all over the Internet ever since this show premiered. It's a good idea to make Johnny Lawrence the focus, but everyone on the internet now thinks of Daniel Larusso, the original Karate Kid, as the main villain of this show.

I'm being honest, Daniel has good reason for not wanting Cobra Kai there. Johnny was about to injure him badly on the first film of Miyagi hadn't intervened, and on the third one, Terry Silver and Mike Barnes we're tormenting him throughout the film. A young kid getting tormented by adults and a bully will be enough to probably scar them for life.

I just wish the internet would stop believing that crap that Daniel is a villain now. Because it makes me ashamed that we grew up with the original movies and that Cobra Kai is trying to make sure we acknowledge that they happened, but not acknowledge that we know who was the clear aggressor back then. 😔😔
