The legendary Karate Kid character is seen in a different light in season 6. <\/p>
Cobra Kai star Ralph Macchio has teased an important storyline coming up for Daniel LaRusso in season 6, as startling secrets are revealed about his late and revered mentor Mr Miyagi (Pat Morita).<\/p>\n
A continuation of The Karate Kid<\/a> franchise, this final season kicks off with former rivals Daniel and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in a fragile peace as they set their sights on a prestigious international karate tournament.<\/p>\n However, before they can even get there, Daniel is \u201cthrown off balance\u201d when he discovers possessions once owned by Mr Miyagi that were kept hidden for decades \u2013 causing him to question his belief in the man who helped raise him.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a big part of the arc this season for Daniel LaRusso,\u201d said Macchio in an interview with RadioTimes.com<\/a>. \u201cIt kind of throws him for a loop.<\/p> \u201cIt\u2019s the thing when someone is no longer there, and you learn something about their life that they may not have spoken to you about\u2026 Is this not the man on the pedestal that I thought?\u201d<\/p>\n He continued: \u201cOr are there flaws in everyone\u2019s past, and it\u2019s more how you stick the landing and less about mistakes that you\u2019ve made?\u201d<\/p>\n This intriguing subplot gets under way in season 6 part 1, which arrives later this month, but Macchio teased it will continue through parts 2 and 3 as well \u2013 currently scheduled for November and 2025 respectively.<\/p>\n The actor explained: \u201cHe struggles with all of that, and he\u2019s really thrown off balance for the majority of the season as he\u2019s trying to navigate his friendship and mentor the kids and head onto the world stage in the Sekai Taikai.\u201d<\/p>\n Although fans were sad to learn that Cobra Kai<\/a> would be ending with its sixth season, Macchio appeared confident that the show was going out on a high note, describing season 6 as \u201d one of the richest\u201d yet for Daniel LaRusso.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m really super excited about that. And I think the fans are going to enjoy that mystery, intrigue and journey,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n Pat Morita, who played Mr Miyagi, sadly passed away in 2005 \u2013 aged 73 \u2013 but has appeared in Cobra Kai through the use of archive footage and audio taken from the original Karate Kid trilogy (1984-89).<\/p>\n Cobra Kai season 6 part 1 is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday 18th July 2024.
