Miguel's New Cobra Kai Story Repeats Daniel's Karate Kid 2 Journey
Miguel’s big decision in the Cobra Kai season 4 finale sets up a repeat of Daniel LaRusso’s The Karate Kid Part II journey. In the aftermath of the All Valley Karate Tournament, Johnny (William Zabka) found out that Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) had run off to Mexico. Miguel’s trip to Mexico serves as a culmination of teases about the character’s mysterious father, who now resides there.
By sending Miguel to Mexico, Cobra Kai has laid the groundwork for a major season 5 storyline. While the next few episodes are sure to deal with Daniel’s alliance with Chozen and the fallout from Cobra Kai’s victory, Miguel’s situation will most assuredly be a big focal point. Johnny promised to bring him back, which means that at least two main characters will be spending some time in Mexico City in Cobra Kai season 5. Who else tags along for the ride, whether or not they actually find Miguel’s father, and if he can convince Miguel to come back with him, are all questions that remain unanswered for the time being.

Miguel’s Mexico trip is unchartered territory and a story that differs greatly from what’s been done in the show’s past seasons, but it’s not entirely new for the franchise. In a sense, it’s the show’s version of Daniel’s journey in The Karate Kid Part II. After taking on bullies and learning karate in the first movie, The Karate Kid series sent Daniel on an adventure to Japan, where he teamed up with Mr. Miyagi, shared a romance with a local girl, and fought Chozen. Like Daniel, Miguel too will find himself on a quest in an unfamiliar land where he’ll undoubtedly be faced with a number of new challenges.
