Karate Kid Part II’s Chozen could be the perfect role model for Tory in Cobra Kai season 5.

As Terry Silver's plan unfolds and the Cobra Kai dojo takes over the Valley, Tory’s loyalties and beliefs will be put to test.

With Kreese in jail and Silver taking over Cobra Kai, Tory will likely walk away from the dojo at some point.
