Netflix's Cobra Kai Season 3: Telling Kreese's Story Sets Up A Wild Season 4



The third season of Cobra Kai on Netflix revisited Sensei Kreese's roots in the Vietnam war. Now, the producers explain why it was time to tell this story.

Of all the things you might have expected from the third season of Netflix's Cobra Kai, there was one element that took many fans by surprise. After all, following the Season 2 finale, there was plenty to cover--Miguel's (Xolo Maridueña) coma, Johnny (William Zabka) being ousted from Cobra Kai, and the aftermath of the high school karate riot. Still, Cobra Kai Season 3 managed to follow up on all of those story threads and include something unexpected: A deeper look at Sensei Kreese (Martin Kove), the villain of the first Karate Kid movie that then reappeared on the Netflix original series at the end of Season 1.

Warning: The following contains spoilers for Season 3 of Cobra Kai. If you haven't seen the new episodes yet, what are you doing here? Go open the Netflix app and watch the third season now.

Cobra Kai has explored events from the past before, even, giving some hints at Johnny's childhood before the first Karate Kid movie. However, there's an entire subplot running through the new season to highlight the man Kreese was before founding Cobra Kai. We learn his humble origins as an awkward busboy at a diner, who ultimately finds himself enlisted in the Vietnam War. We then follow him throughout the war, reporting to a commanding officer that lives the "no mercy" lifestyle that would ultimately become the foundation of the Cobra Kai dojo.

It's a series of truly horrifying events for Kreese. Now only are he and his troop captured by enemy forces, but his commanding officer blames him for the capture and reveals that the woman Kreese loves was killed in a car accident. Then, the two are forced to fight over an open pit filled with venomous cobras. Ultimately, Kreese adopts the officer's no mercy credo and kicks his leader into the pit to his death.

While Kreese has always been a villain throughout the Karate Kid franchise, seeing the moments that led to him breaking bring an entirely new dimension to the character. For the show's creators, it was an important step to take.

Thanks for the research!

I'm always afraid to read such posts on the Internet because I don't like to find spoilers. I've already discovered the details of the upcoming season of Cobra Kai several times, so I'm sad because of this. I want to watch TV series on my own and thus know the continuation of the storyline. There are too many videos on TikTok that I might accidentally see. By the way, I recently passed my favorite which cobra kai character are you quiz. And I noticed that the creator of this quiz updated the questions. Now there are questions for those who have watched all seasons of the series and may know the answer. I'll watch everything soon!
