'Cobra Kai' S5: Trailer, release date, cast and more details
What's the story
The epic fight for the soul of the Valley continues! An action-packed teaser for the fifth season of Cobra Kai has been released by the makers. To note, the same was first launched at the Cobra Kai: Live & Bad Ass event, a part of Netflix Is A Joke festival being held in LA currently. The platform also shared first looks of the show.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Cobra Kai is one of the very few retro-action franchises that continue being popular, relevant, and draws an audience across a broad age bracket. Its initial two seasons were released on YouTube Red, the subscription-based platform of YouTube. Netflix took over from the third season in 2020 and received spectacular response, thus ordering the next two seasons. Cobra Kai season four premiered last December.
Observation
What does the trailer show?
In the trailer, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) expands the Cobra Kai karate and introduces "a whole valley of full dojos." Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Chozen Toguchi (Yuji Okumoto) form an ally to take down Silver. Meanwhile, Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) and his son, Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan) look for neighbor Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) who is in search of his biological father.

Bitter tiff bubbles between Silver and LaRusso
Irrespective of LaRusso's plan, Silver warns him that he was "playing with fire." Toguchi steps in to respond, "And I am gasoline!" A few seconds later, Silver is seen in a steam-filled room, sinisterly whispering, "I told you not to play with fire." And, like every other Cobra Kai trailer, this one too is packed with a bunch of epic action sequences!
