The Rise | Cobra Kai S4 Ep 9-10 Reaction

Cobra Kai Season 5 reaction when?

I love that Eli and Robbie bowed to each other. Big difference from the first time they fought. They’re both great kids, just mislead. The choreo was amazing

They gave Carrie underwood a cameo as a way to thank her because when cobra was still a YouTube original she posted about it and more people started watching it

I like how Hawk's Character went full circle! That's why he's my favorite! Also that Father and Son scene made me emotional ngl.

Bro robby was a straight menace for doing that to kenny. He was just messing with him and then kicked him down hard 💀

25:56 fun fact: the move that Sam used there (where you launch two punches, one higher and one lower, at once) is known as the Yamazuki of Bassai/Passai. It's an old school Karate technique that is effective because people are afraid of getting punched in the face and instinctively block the higher punch aimed at the face and don't block the second lower punch aimed at the chest. Most sport karate fighters don't learn to use it or block it because their training is built around the rules and regulations of tournament fighting instead of the freeform of actual brawling or the classical training of old school Karate. In this instance Sam won a point by using an ancient technique that Tori couldn't see coming because she was taught modern Karate instead of classical Miyagi-Do.

Miguel screaming Sensei freaking scared me, like I legitemately thought he got paralyzed again

Miguel’s major challenge this season was ultimately figuring out himself and where he fit into all of this .He realized later into the season that he was not fighting for himself this time around as much as he was fighting for Daniel and Johnnys ridiculous rivalry. along with a lot of his other internal struggles; such as his strained relationship with Johnny, his financial future, future relationships, need to know where he came from, etc. all of this plays into his emotional struggle and it’s gets to the point where he’s just over the entire thing. hes more than a trophy. he’s more than some crazy rivalry. he wants to figure out what HE is fighting for. that shows maturity in him that he has always had. and I know he’s being set up for bigger things in the future. I can’t wait to see where he goes. Miguel not fighting in the tournament was not out of character at all in my opinion. Miguel has always been one of honor and a clear mind. He’s always fought for the right reasons and knew when he was going to far. his heart was not in this tournament. he had so much other things going on that were quite frankly more important than a tournament. that, along with Johnny pressuring him to go back out and risk possibly injuring himself more, showing that he did not have his best interest at heart and wasn’t fighting for himself. his journey is set up long term. he needs to find closure to come back full circle. I fully believe he will come back stronger than ever. he fell and he will rise again stronger.

Robby and Tory definitely get the award for most improved characters. Although I enjoyed season 3 the characterization of both Robby and especially Tory was dreading, and everyone knew from a mile away that they would get together and I hated that idea so much. However, not only do I think that they make a great couple, but they were given solid stories. Robby became a teacher and Tory became a student. Robby became a mentor figure to Kenny and wanted to be the brother that Kenny needed. He kinda took the role of Shawn in Kenny's life. Robby didn't follow Cobra Kai, but instead he thought that he was controlling and using Cobra Kai for himself until he realizes his mistake. I must admit that Robby went from one of my most despised characters to one of my favorites this seasons. Tory for once learned something outside of the dojo and became the student of Amanda. I would as far to say that Amanda became a mother figure to her. I know that Tory has a living mother, but like Kreese said, she isn't exactly healthy to be their and give Tory the advice she needs in her life. Tory is given a proper reason to ask for help and it isn't selfish because it's for her little brother as well. My favorite moment is when she tells Sam, " Hey, are you okay?". It's a simple gesture, but she didn't need to do it.

The way they took their shirts off was the most anime thing ever.

Another small thing I just noticed- Kyler is EXTREMELY loyal to Cobra Kai, and really does celebrate every victory they have. He's the first to go up to Tory on the mat and pick her up, the first to invite the CK kids to excursions like the movie, and always comes back for more even when beaten. He has SO MANY good qualities, buried under his asshole personality

Double episode reaction? Y’all stay reminding everyone why you guys are the best reaction channel.

Stingray did that because of how Kreese treated him when he came back. Kreese told him he’d never be cobra Kai and Silver gave him his chance

That double punch from Sam was actually a Miyagi move lol.

The character that had my favorite character development was Hawk. Mans went from defenseless, to bully, to balanced, to All Valley Champion. He's also the only character to train under Johnny, Daniel AND Kreese. So he was already bound to win. This show's writing is freaking incredible.

I cried so hard for Robby, cheered so hard for Eli, felt for Kreese, and feared Terry. The last two episodes were so amazing and intense, this show is the best.

1. The fight choreo gave me CHILLS the Robby v. Eli fight was something serious and Tori v. Sam was great too!!! 2. I love how they finally emphasized and maybe broke through to Daniel that more than one style is great 3. I’m mixed emotions because I was rooting for Sam yet happy for Tori and I wish Tori could’ve gotten her win on her own. 4. Can Miguel please get back to his original state like omg I’m tired of them nerfing him

Kyler about to fight Hawk: "Wait, why do I hear boss battle music?"

Lupa's reaction to the end of Episode 9 is absolutely perfect. 😆😆

Sam was saying “What?!” at the end more so because she was shocked that Tory would ask if she’s alright
