Summary
Warning : looter for Cobra Kai time of year 6
After what pass off inCobra Kaiseason 6 part 1 , I have no doubtfulness that Johnny would beat Daniel in a no - holds - barred fight . Of course , I ca n’t deny that Ralph Macchio ’s character is a great martial artist ; he did indeed tucker Johnny inThe Karate Kidand picked up an impressive profits over Terry Silver inCobra Kaiseason 5 ’s closing . However , I still see Johnny as the superior combatant .
For a while now , Cobra Kaihas been pushing this theme that Johnny and Daniel are equal inThe Karate Kiduniverse . The show has pointedly obviate picking a achiever between them whenever the two fight . The most egregious example of this was their couple inCobra Kaiseason 4 , in which the fight was declare a tie . Neither being skilful than the other seemed to beCobra Kai’sfinal resolution to theJohnny Lawrence vs. Daniel LaRussodebate . I accept that at the prison term , but it ’s becoming increasingly gruelling to trust that Daniel and Johnny really are on the same level .

Johnny Now Has Cobra Kai’s Two Most Impressive Wins
Johnny and Daniel each notched a massive triumph in their various record in theCobra Kaiseason 5 finish . Daniel beat Terry Silver revenge his earlier personnel casualty and gave him a respectable win over one of the best attack aircraft inThe Karate Kidfranchise . But as good as this was , it could n’t match what Johnny did in the same episode . With Mike Barnes being unconscious for most of the fight in Silver ’s house , Johnny had no choice but to single - handedly take on all five of Kim Da - Eun ’s hired tough . All were well - trained opposition in their flush , yet Johnny managed to overreach them all ( with only a little aid from Barnes ) .
How great that moment was for Johnny was reinforced by a setting inCobra Kaiseason 6 . To convinceKim Sun - Yungthat he was a competent sensei , he point out that Johnny beat five of Kim ’s students . Previously , it had not been clear established that Da - Eun ’s karate instructors were personally train by Kim Sun - Yung , which says a lot about their contend power . Johnny beating five of Kim ’s pupils holds more weight unit than Daniel stick just one of his educatee , especially one who had just been in a wearying fight with Chozen .
I weigh that to be Johnny ’s best win in Cobra Kai , but his fight with Mike Barnes might just top it . As Barnes was quick to make clear , he was a national karate championwhen he was recruit byTerry Silver inThe Karate Kid Part III.That pose him on another level to Johnny and Daniel . While Johnny was nimble to defend the All Valley , Barnes is n’t wrong that it does n’t liken to his achievement . Johnny and Daniel have never win a martial arts competition beyond the local level , whereas Barnes had to go up against experienced scrapper all over the body politic , thus proving his prowess in martial liberal arts .

I Don’t Believe Daniel Would Have Beat Mike Barnes
In light of that , I honestly do n’t think Daniel would have pose Mike Barnes if he was in the same position as Johnny . After all , Mike Barnes was the one opponent Daniel could not fairly beat inThe Karate Kidmovies . He in the end overcame Johnny and Chozen in the endings ofThe Karate KidandThe Karate Kid Part II , but his profits over Mike Barnes comes with a massive caveat . Barnes was diddle with Daniel , demonstrating throughout the fight that he was hold back . He only fall back because he used Silver ’s flawed scheme and intentionally pass on opportunities to scramble Daniel . By make that error , one point was all Daniel demand to get ahead .
A lot of time has depart by since then , but nothing that I ’ve seen since then has change my idea about either belligerent ’s stand with each other . I sawhow Mike Barnes perform against ChozeninCobra Kaiseason 5 and was reminded again of just how gifted he is . He put up a tremendous fight against Chozen , someone who did n’t seem to have much trouble with Danielin time of year 3 . His skill in martial arts and vapourous animalism would make Mike Barnes a powerful opposer for any fighter inCobra Kai . And while I ’m not shocked that Johnny won ( after what happened in season 5 ) , I just ca n’t see Daniel attain the same outcome .
Johnny Should Win If He Fights Daniel Again
All things deal , I ’m sure-footed that despite the crosstie in season 4 , Johnny would arrive out on top in another showdown with Daniel . In an official match where points influence the success , neither character has an advantage , hence why I think Johnny did n’t gain that clock time . But , those kinds of conflict can only go for so long , particularly since they cease after one combatant rafts three points . A competitiveness like the one thatJohnny Lawrence and Mikes Barnes had inCobra Kaiseason 6is a whole different situation , as it provides a much bang-up test of endurance and strength .
Johnny reach that test already when he sustained a vicious , prolonged trouncing from multiple aggressor in theCobra Kaiseason 5 finis . Johnny managing to draw off the win in the face of all the hits he took talk book about his toughness . Perhaps Daniel gets in a few hit on Johnny in a no - grip - barred fight ; that would mark him direct on the mat , but would n’t necessarily defeat Johnny . Through his fights with Barnes and Terry Silver ’s henchman , Johnny has proven that he can endure a mass of penalisation and keep on scrap . I intend Daniel would keep back his own for a while , but Johnny would prevail in the end .
Will There Be Another Johnny vs Daniel Fight In Cobra Kai?
With the direction season 4 seemed to resolve their differences , I wondered if that would be the last time Johnny and Daniel would defend inCobra Kai . But with the direction the two are currently headed , it does seem to me likeCobra Kaiis planning to have one last Daniel vs. Johnny fightbefore ending their stories . Johnny testify chasteness when Daniel punched him in theCobra Kaiseason 6 part 1 finale , but I think it ’s only a matter of meter before things attain a boiling point .
With Johnny efficaciously terminate their friendly relationship , it ’ll be passing difficult for them to get along . Not only that , but the stakes of the Sekai Taikai forcing them to spend so much sentence together will only generalise the tensity between them , further provoking a last battle to correct the Johnny vs. Daniel debate inCobra Kai .
