Cobra Kai season 4 saw Terry Silver betray Kreese to become the sole owner of a new, expanded Cobra Kai dojo. To prevent Silver to take over the valley with his money and twisted karate values, Daniel will have to break the terms of his deal with Cobra Kai and team up with the also Miyagi Do-trained Chozen. However, Daniel and Chozen are not the only heirs to the Miyagi Do teachings, as Mr. Miyagi had another student after Daniel.

After Cobra Kai season 4 saw the return of Terry Silver, season 5 will again feature the Karate Kid 3 villain in addition to the return of Chozen, plus a likely appearance
