Dutch was notably absent in season two episode 6 “Take A Right” – that pivotal episode when the original Cobra Kai gang reunited. The most obvious is Dutch (Chad McQueen). Nevertheless, there are still several characters from the movies that might be deployed. “I think he’s watching it,” says William Zabka, “and I think he’s just trying to figure a way to get on it.” Danny Kamekona, who played Sato in The Karate Kid Part II, is also gone. However, the show is on a roll, so it would be strategic for Netflix to milk it for additional seasons.Ī few of the actors from the original films are no longer with us. Now that Cobra Kai is looking towards season 6, will it exhaust the characters from the original films? Josh Heald, one of the creators of Cobra Kai, says that there is an endgame for the show and it would take at least 6 seasons to get there. Who’s Left from the Miyagi-Daniel-san Trilogy In a nice bit of closure, it’s revealed that she was the one who first introduced the LaRussos. She’s the cousin of Amanda LaRusso (Courtney Henggeler), Daniel’s wife, which makes her his cousin-in-law. And in one of the cleverer reveals, Andrews is now related to Daniel. Barnes, like Chozen, is reformed of his villainous ways, and ends up fighting alongside the good guys. Consequently, two more key characters from Part III returned this season: Mike Barnes (Sean Kanan) and Jessica Andrews (Robyn Lively). Season 4 brought back Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) from The Karate Kid Part III, and he rises to lead villain in season 5. Chozen returns as a major character in season 5. And in a poetically karmic twist, she’s grown up to be the CEO of the auto company who saves LaRusso Auto. The actress reprised her role for Cobra Kai season 3. She was the little girl Daniel saved from the bell tower during the storm. Yuna was credited as the Girl Bell Ringer in the second film. There he found Kumiko (Tamlyn Tomita), Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) and, in one of the greatest Easter eggs ever, Yuna (Traci Toguchi). Season 3 was also an homage to The Karate Kid Part IIwith Daniel returning to Okinawa. Nevertheless, the hardcore fans noticed, especially because Cobra Kai has done such a great job at reassembling the original cast. Mills is minor in both the film and the series. Wilcox is still acting in TV, and the character of Mrs. She was replaced by Deborah May in the series. Ali’s mom was played by Shannon Wilcox in the movie. It was a heartwarming episode, although it did have one of the only character swaps in the series. However, the most celebrated returning character from The Karate Kid Part I was Ali Mills (Elisabeth Shue), who after being teased in previous seasons, finally appears in season 3.
The first episode of season 3 was dedicated to him. Even more heartbreaking is that Garrison died five months after that episode was telecast. It’s an emotional irony when the Cobra Kai Karateka who yelled “Get him a body bag!” at LaRusso gets taken away in a body bag. The original Cobra Kai gang from The Karate Kid Part I, Bobby (Ron Thomas), Jimmy (Tony O’Dell), and Tommy (Rob Garrison) were reunited with Johnny in season 2 in one of the most poignant episodes of the entire show – the death of Tommy. She has been seen in seasons 1, 2, and 4, which is more than she was seen in the latter two Karate Kid films. Some of the original characters, like Lucille LaRusso (Randee Heller), Daniel’s mom, have appeared throughout Cobra Kai.
