Summary
It search like Terry Silver was go to be the big bad ofCobra Kai , but time of year 6 has shew me wrong . TheKarate Kidspinoff serial has been all about scoundrel redemption , starting with Johnny Lawrence and extending to the other high-risk guys of the classical ' fourscore movie franchise . Terry Silver , fromThe Karate Kid Part 3 , seemed to be the least likely to happen redemption , while there was still a muckle of hope for John Kreese , peculiarly inCobra Kaiseason 5 . However , the first part of time of year 6 has seen the original Cobra Kai sensei become a threat like never before .
Part of what made Terry Silver so terrify inCobra Kaiwas that he seemed to have nothing to suffer . The villain had no personal connexion or even any humanizing caliber . His only goal was the success of his dojo , and his wealth and influence made him seem unbeatable — an unvanquishable force . This made him a far more effectivevillain thanJohn Kreese inCobra Kai , whose affection for Johnny , while misguided , sacrifice the characters the bantam sliver of morality . It even seemed that Kreese might be ransom inCobra Kaiseason 5 , but this seems less likely now .
Cobra Kai has the complete mix of authoritative Karate Kid legend and all - novel characters . Here ’s everyone you need to know in the rack up Netflix series .
John Kreese’s Cave Scene Proves He’s Worse Than Terry Silver After All
Kreese’s Brutal Vision Of Johnny Was Pretty Disturbing
InCobra Kaiseason 6 , installment 2 , " The Prize , " John Kreese traveled to South Korea , where he was reunite with his previous master , Kim Sun - Yung . Kreese was eager to get Master Kim ’s approval to take his students , who could pass under Cobra Kai ’s banner , to the Sekai Taikai , but he first had to prove himself worthy . He was apprise to retrieve an one-time eunjangdo ( knife ) from a cave deep in the jungle , where Kreese was in the end bit by a cobra . This take on visions thatKreese would have to struggle through to prove that there were no aroused obstacles in the way of his goals .
While Silver appeared for a second in Kreese ’s hallucination , it was Johnny Lawrence who at long last salute himself and the man ’s lawful foe and weakness . The pair fight , and in a shocking instant , Kreese had snapped the cervix of his beloved student , shedding all the lovemaking he had once held for the male child . This ultimately means that John Kreese is a greater threat going forward inCobra Kaiseason 6than he ever has been before — an even nifty menace than Terry Silver — and this makes redemption far less probable .
I Thought John Kreese Could Be Redeemed (But I’m Not So Sure Now)
Cobra Kai Season 5 Brought John Kreese Close To Redemption
Cobra Kaiseason 5 go me to conceive that John Kreese would eventually be redeemed . Sure , there was the prison jailbreak , which revealed that Kreese ’s steps toward recognizing his own shift amounted to essentially nothing . Still , I hoped that the love he held for Johnny would lead him down a near path . I gestate him to pit himself against Johnny at the Sekai Taikai , but there was sure to be a moment of pity that would allow Kreese to make up for all the horrible things he had done in the past . Now , I ’m not so sure .
Of course , he did n’t really mangle his student , but the fact that he was uncoerced to do so even in his afflicted state indicate that Kreese really has left his paring of humanity behind .
I would n’t have think it possible for Kreese to kill Johnny since he was the one person who still intend anything to the gentleman . Of of course , he didn’treallymurder his scholar , but the fact that he was uncoerced to do so even in his afflicted province indicates that Kreese really has pull up stakes his sliver of mankind behind . The sight of Johnny wearing the gi ofMiygi - Do at the Sekai Taikaisurely only solidified his resolve . Johnny is now his enemy , just as much as Daniel or Mr. Miyagi ever were . There ’s no one left to pull theCobra Kaisensei back from the threshold of swarthiness .

Is there Any Hope Left For Kreese In Cobra Kai Season 6?
Maybe It’s Better If Kreese ISN’T Redeemed
Of course , Cobra Kaihas already proven that it is n’t afraid to break the rules . Chozen ’s younger ego inThe Karate Kid Part 2 , who came close to defeat several people because of his rage and jealousy , was ultimately able to find redemption ( even becoming one of the most darling characters ofCobra Kai ) . It ’s certainlypossible that Kreese will rediscover that piece of humanity that he symbolically kill in that cavein season 6 , part 1 . Perhaps there ’s still hope that Johnny and his master will swallow the hatchet and reform something of a attachment .
While anything is possible in the remaining episodes ofCobra Kaiseason 6,this raises the interrogation of whether John Kreeseshouldbe redeemed . A part of me would love to see this happen , but I ca n’t serve but sense that this might send the incorrect message . Kreese was n’t a ill-conceived teenager when he did his worst act like Johnny of Chozen . He was a full - get gentleman who was awfully scurrilous to children , specially Johnny . Perhaps it ’s well that thisCobra Kaicharacter develop into the greatest threat of the serial publication , short-circuit salvation to become a definitive , no - looking - back villain .
