More than Martial arts and the everyday teen soap opera, if Cobra Kai is absolutely admirable for anything, it is its take on individual character development. Within the four existing seasons, we have seen characters develop from bastard to beast and more. Specifically speaking about Daniel LaRusso, Mr. Miyagi’s favorite student, the man went right from a business snob to the best sensei in the valley! All thanks to his students. It is his disciples who have helped him exorcise the demons from his past. With the upcoming Cobra Kai season 5, we may see more growth in this character, as the trailer hints at something that could heal him personally.

Being a mentor allowed him to put his past with Mr. Miyagi, which included trauma from his conflicts with opponents like Johnny, Kreese, Chozen, and others, to rest. On the other hand, this exposed other wounds he would have preferred to keep covered, and when the Cobra Kai drama resurfaced, his ego and wrath returned. Nevertheless, he has been working hard to serve as an inspiration to his students, particularly his daughter Sam and other teenagers like Miguel and Robby. Interestingly, it appears as though Daniel might hire a new apprentice in a brief scene from the Season 5 trailer.

The Cobra Kai season 5 trailer teases Amanda LaRusso joining the party

If you pay full attention to the trailer, you would find that the person we have been talking about is none other than Daniel’s love and the better half, Amanda LaRusso. At 1:45 (timestamp) in the trailer, we could clearly see her bowing to the three senseis along with the other students. This could undeniably mean that she has finally decided to be on the same page as her husband.

Yes, we are aware there’s some beef going between the two love birds after the car dealership business got affected and Sam almost turned into a bully. Their relationship right now is not something we could call smooth. But this could be her initiative to bring everything back to order.

While Amanda will understand Karate is not only some other sport but a lifestyle for people like Daniel, he will also understand her perspective. This common ground will not only bring them together but also ignite the lost compassion and love for each other.

Amanda could also play the peaceful catalyst in enraging Daniel, bringing respect, love, and art back to the delicate secrets Miyagi attempted to establish in Daniel as a “son.” We are as sure as eggs are eggs that with Amanda’s training he will again become a better father, husband, and sensei.
