Ralph Macchio and William Zabka, who play Daniel and Johnny in The Karate Kid and CobraKai, talk the characters' touching newfound friendship: 'Don’t mess with my LaRusso, man.'
Cobra Kai stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka react to the bond between their characters in season 5 of the hit series. Coming over three decades after the generation-defining phenomenon The Karate Kid, in which Daniel LaRusso learns karate from his mentor Mr. Miyagi to defend himself from bullies, including Johnny Lawrence , Cobra Kai picks up where the characters left off, give or take 34 years.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The two men start Cobra Kai off as bitter rivals who are simply unable to put the past away and get along. However, when a bigger enemy emerges in the form of Johnny's old sensei John Kreese , the two proved that they could work together. Their fragile alliance grew, and despite a few setbacks, they only grew stronger as a team by the time Cobra Kai season 5 villain Terry Silver came onto the scene.
Macchio: “[speaking to Zabka] When you come in at the end of that episode and you’re standing there with Chozen, I was very moved when I first saw that. I had a little lump in my throat seeing Johnny Lawrence saying ‘I’m gonna be here for my friend.’ I mean, come on. The ultimate rivals, and they have each other’s back.
Though their bond started as a means to an end, the two senseis have created a charming friendship that elevates the original Karate Kid film. While it's an exciting prospect that season 6 could feature more moments like the one Macchio and Zabka react to here, Cobra Kai started its run as a series about the lasting effects of Daniel and Johnny's rivalry.
