Remember way back at the beginning of
Cobra Kai season 1, when Daniel LaRusso — wimp-turned-All Valley karate champ — was on top of the world? Good. Now forget all about those happy times, because when season 3 kicks off next month on Netflix, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) is definitely not living his best life. His student Robby (Tanner Buchanan) is missing after injuring Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) in a karate brawl, his car dealership business is struggling, and his rivalry with erstwhile sensei Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) has flared up once again. So how will Daniel-san get out of this funk and save the Valley from evil Cobra Kai sensei Kreese (Martin Kove)? EW asked Macchio, 59, to wax on about what to expect. (Sorry.)
