Cobra Kai fans took their time out to rank the villains as their most and least favorite ahead of the anticipated 5th season

&#8216;Cobra Kai&#8217; Villains Ranked From Least to Most Favorite as Per Fans

In every story, the narrator or the storyteller has the privilege to determine
the role of the villain. While there are villains such as Joker and Voldemort
from times immemorial who are gruesomest of all and find peace in causing
destruction, recent TV villains, such as those of Stranger Things and Cobra Kai
may have disappointed the fans a little. The reason being: the creators leave a
rather soft side to their character, rendering them a chance to be the good guy.

And ahead of the most anticipated season of the American comedy-drama, Cobra
Kai, fans gush
[https://www.reddit.com/r/cobrakai/comments/wcm1kl/your_least_favorite_villain/]
about their least and most favorite villains in the series. It’s worth the
banter because right from its mainstream Karate Kid movies, the franchise has
had so many intriguing villains that fans could probably form teams of their
favorite ones. Here’s a look at what their choices of these bad boys look like.


FANS ON REDDIT RANK THEIR LEAST TO MOST FAVORITE VILLAINS OF COBRA KAI

From Daniel LaRusso to Terry Silver; from typical high school bullies such as
Kyler and then Eli, Cobra Kai sure has some interesting character arcs.
Throughout the series, people who were once heroes became villains and vice
versa. But there are some evil minds who will forever stand out. And here’s the
least and most fan-favorite of them all:

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

#3 MIKE BARNES

Barnes is the secondary antagonist of the third Karate Kid movie, hired by the
main antagonist, Terry Silver
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-cobra-kai-fans-hedge-their-bets-on-different-characters-for-who-can-beat-terry-in-a-one-on-one-fight/]
to take Daniel down in the 1985 All Valley tournament. Season 4 hinted multiple
times at the return of this character. Fans also speculated

he could be Miguel’s dad.

However, if Barnes does enters Cobra Kai
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai], he already ended up being the least
favorite villain of fans. They believe he is just a “violent punk” and does no
good than fooling around. And it seems like fans find John Kreese better.

#2 JOHN KREESE

Introduced to Cobra Kai in season 3, Kreese
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-originals-aews-thunder-rosa-makes-plea-to-ralph-macchio-after-dr-britt-baker-d-m-d-goes-cobra-kai-on-her-martin-kove-daniel-larusso-wrestling/]
seems to be evil to the core. He is eager to cause people physical and
psychological pain. He will never let someone live it down if he does anything
kind for them. For instance, he kept using what he did for Terry during the war
to influence the latter.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

Although John’s behavior results from his difficult upbringing and the trauma he
experienced during the war, this does not justify it. That said, fans do love
this man for the soft corner he seems to have for his students, especially
Johnny.

#1 TERRY SILVER

Well, the trophy for the most loved villain goes to none other than the classic
Terry Silver. Introduced to Cobra Kai world in season 4,
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-cobra-kai-season-4-ending-explained/] he
has already secured his place as the baddest of all. Although he joined the dojo
recently, he quickly developed an obsession with it.

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

He went to tremendous measures to help the squad succeed. Even Kreese wouldn’t
have gone to the extremes he did. He also stabbed his old friend in his back,
causing a rift that will undoubtedly make him the season 5 villain of the year.
