The Karate Kid franchise stars
Ralph Macchio and
William Zabka make their appearance virtually on a giant screen on set. There’s also another surprise guest in this episode, but that’s a major spoiler for the show’s third season, so just in case you haven’t seen it yet, we won’t name who it is, and you might want to hold off until you’ve finished the latest episodes.
Also, if you stick around for the later part of the episode, comedian
Bill Burr pops up to make a guest appearance.
Cobra Kai takes place 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, where a now successful Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) struggles to maintain balance in his life without the guidance of Mr. Miyagi, and must face his previous adversary, down-and-out Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo.
