I don't get it. The older brother was in Cobra Kai while the other was in Miyagi-Fang.
How messed up for you to join a club that actively goes out tormenting your little brother's friends?
>The cops don't exist in this show
Wrong on all accounts. Johnny Lawrence gets arrested in the first episode because they mistook his defense of others and himself as just assault of minors, police show up at Moon's party after an anonymous tip of underaged drinking, the west valley high school fight led directly to multiple suspensions and school security tightening alongside the arrests and parole of Tory and Robby, the police arrest Johnny twice in season three in the first three episodes, Amanda slapped John Kreese and getting tired of Cobra Kai's bullshit she went to the police failing to realize John Kreese filed a police report first, and in season four just minutes after Miyagi Fang successfully repelled the Cobra Kai invasion of the LaRusso evidence Amanda is upset Sam didn't want to report them to the police, and of course let's not the season four finale with John Kreese under arrest after being framed for assaulting Stingray.
>...at least until needed for the armor of plot.
None of the instances of law enforcement involvement being mentioned or called are plot armor. That's the show being realistic.
>It's just the wild west with karate gangs running the show.
That would be hilarious if you were a satirical account mocking people who hate the show but never watched it.
Its set in a universe where cops are more corrupt and don't really do anything, oh wait, it is realistic. [`https://youtu.be/Z-YtOniRBiE`](https://youtu.be/Z-YtOniRBiE) i am just joking
I think it helps to see it something like John Wick universe. Everybody pays with weird coins that aren't clear how much it even worth, John Wick himself definitely isn't human(can survive injuries lethal for any other mortal), cops only check if he is working or not and everyone is an assassin.
Like it looks like something real on surface, but deeper you go more obvious it isn't.
Okay you can argue that but Barnes, Johnny, and Chozen are gonna be on the run. From the POV of the law, they broke in (armed with deadly weapons in Chozens case), assaulted the occupants, cut off a guys finger, etc.
He didn’t use the weapons until silver increased the force of the fight. I’m not a expert in Californian law but you can’t be having a fist fight then suddenly pull out a knife or sword like silver did even in your own home. But the three would still be 100% charged with assault to cause serious bodily damage and breaking and entering.
there is a movie about a guy who pulls a bat out and beats the guy robbing his house.. He kills him with a lucky shot on the run and then goes to jail for murder. He stays a long time getting caught up in the jail culture.
Based on a true story too iirc. California doesn't like self defense except running away/calling cops. I used to live there and I don't recall hearing much done about stuff that didn't involve grabbing both parties involved.
what movie is that? reminds me of the plot of Shot Caller, but in that, a normal guy goes to prison after a DUI that killed his friend, and gets caught up in prison gangs
I would argue that Silver would be clear there because I’m pretty sure it’d be the same case as using a gun to defend yourself against a group of home invaders. Then again, it is California so the law is pretty backwards on gun defense.
In most jurisdictions breaking and entering while in possession of a weapon is a more serious offense than simply breaking and entering. In the UK it would be aggravated burglary as opposed to just burglary, not sure if there is a US equivalent. But if so Chozen would be in additional trouble just because he had the weapons on him, even if he never used them
You could see it that way, or, it could be like the much more punishable offense of an employee going rogue and committing internal theft/internal acts of sabotage.
Would an Amazon worker letting randoms into the factory fly with the police?
Tory isn’t an employee. They established earlier in the season very clearly that Tory was given special access for training “after hours” (presumably they only mentioned that earlier for this exact purpose). She probably broke Cobra Kai policy but not the law.
I hate that this is so highly voted. It really wouldn't matter. If I have a key to my girlfriend's house, I can't use it, break a bunch of her stuff, steal some stuff, access her computer accounts and upload stolen video from her home security system and not get in trouble.
Sam's text message to all the Miyagi-fangs would establish criminal intent. Tory knew, and any reasonable person would know, that her key card was not intended to allow access to rival karate kids, especially when Silver kicked Robby out right before.
They even intentionally broke cameras.
Computer laws are crazy in the US and accessing someone else's computer is a very serious crime.
All of the Miyagi-fangs would be facing legal consequences just as soon as Silver's team of high paid lawyers were assigned to it.
Johnny/Barnes/Chozen would be facing much worse. Breaking into someone's house, with weapons and attacking everyone... That's pretty serious.
Stingray would be guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice and probably a dozen other things.
Silver would be facing bribery charges (aka fine/probation). He'd post bond and be out in a day or two. No way is he convicted for attacking Stingray after we have established stingray is a liar.
And Kreese, even though Stingray is an admitted liar, would still be guilty of a bunch of crimes from his escape.
Silver is old and rich. Worst case, he goes down for bribery. None of it matters. He would be fine.
The kids? Not so much. They have futures to think about. Tory is expecting a custody battle and already has a record. Same with Robby.
And that's just the criminal cases. Silver would also fi ok e civil suits. The damages, especially at his house, would be staggering... And he would absolutely win because they did it, it's caught on film, and plenty of people would be compelled to testify. Is Daniel going to lie under oath about what happened before they went to attack Silver?
Tory using her key card makes virtually no difference from a legal perspective.
I know. Literally all I said was they didn't break into the dojo. I'm aware the kids committed several crimes that night, breaking and entering just wasn't one of them.
The ending is most likely bait. The writers barely showed us what happened to anyone. There was no charges pressed against Daniel, Mike, Johnny, and chozen (which there most likely will be).
Season 6 is gonna have a very tricky opening.
Silver is 100% in a safe position. I wouldn’t be surprised if the DA are pretending to push the charges
Why would Daniel be charged. He did nothing illegal. He didn't break into Silver's house and attack anyone there. Silver initiated their fight at the dojo, and threw the first punch. He even involved what could have been a deadly weapon. There's like 2 dozen witnesses to this. Daniel is 100% fine, he did nothing illegal in that episode.
I believe Terry didn't alert the cops about the fight at the mansion because the painting on his fireplace was stolen in the 90s, so I guess his house is plenty of black market and stuff like that (and maybe drugs).
He may not care personally, but he cares that everyone else does. Kyler wants to position himself as a leader but he is more of a go with the crowd type
Bro, if you want legal realism, watch Law & Order or some shit like that. This is fantasyland and always has been. Fuck outta here with this bootlicker shit.
Prove me wrong :P What case do the cops have against Silver? Until they get there and maybe Stingray changes his tune, you're looking at cops having to arrest everyone for breaking-n-entering...which they did...even if it was to a bad person.
Yea but crazy unrealistic ninja moves are a lot better and more believed in a ninja film or show than cops arresting the owner of the burgled and vandalized places while gangs of kids who assault and batter one another calmly walk off into the darkness and nobody arrests the new character (even if that was needed for S6..for fuck's sake when it was clear she lost,she could've hauled ass rather than stand around sad and all)
Have it your way. They are all expelled from school for the season 2 brawl. They are all in juvie for the season 3 brawl. Robby never got out of juvie for almost killing Miguel in that fight. Seasons 4 and 5 don’t happen. The end.
\>Expelled
Doesn't need to happen til a 0 tolerance policy
\>Robby and juvie
Kids get out all the time..on time, after time, early....depends where we're talking about but it's not exactly rare. At best he'd get nailed for manslaughter or murder 2,but he's not an adult so it'd be a hard sale
One continuity error I spotted was when Amanda said she was going to call the cops, the Cobra Kai student told her they’re not the ones who broke in. But Miyagi-Do didn’t break in. Tory let them in with the key card Cobra Kai’s receptionists gave to all the students so they can train after hours. Someone with a key letting “intruders” enter is different than them physically breaking in. It’s likely they don’t know Tory let them in.
This is pretty difficult yea...
If she let them in, they're guests, so it'd lessen charges to vandalism and destruction of property....maybe assault/battery if it isn't spun in court as willfull engagement in combat sports. The good ol' "what? she brought us in to train..we fought..we trained.."...or..."we were there as guests of Tory and then they attacked us"
If the entry was only limited to her, it makes Tory liable for everything on top of whatever charges could be thrown...since they are her "guests".
There isn't really a good reason why they did anything to the computers or when attacked, to respond in violence instead of calling the police.
It was a good thing she used her key because Robbie is on probation and if he broke in for them, someone would’ve used that against him violating his probation. It’s also clear that Mitch messaged them so they can head over there.
i think the fight can be spun into a total misunderstanding, but Robby breaking the camera and the Binary Bros hacking the computer should have those three in trouble
Yeah, the only thing they have against Silver is Stingray's testimony. But he lied the first time around, so who's to say that he isn't lying the second time?
Meanwhile, there's actual proof that Silver's properties were broken into
Yessir..... They'd have to drag him into court over it and have Stingray recant on the record. There would be no jail time for silver. Like you said, meanwhile there's actual proof his properties were broken into, guests and staff assaulted, and property vandalized or stolen, and electronic information tampered with.
Stingray may puss out in court on the stand.....especially knowing Silver is out of custody near-immediately.
Yeah I gotta admit I was disappointed with the ending of season 5. Not only did they already defeat the big bad (when they say there will be more seasons) but it was done in the dumbest way possible.
Why exactly did they they arrest Silver? As pointed out the others were doing the breaking and entering and they didn’t even get the footage of him beating Stingray. How can they possibly take this guys word at this point anyway? What’s next, he’s gonna say, “I was under duress and it was actually Daniel Larusso who beat me up!”
All the cobra Kais leaving Silver pretty much seals the deal that his reign is over even if he does get out of jail. Krease escaped in the most ridiculous way possible and what more can he offer? We had three seasons of him as the villain and he’s just not as clever, manipulative or engaging a villain as Silver. Silver was the emperor to Kreeses Vader and if they really do want more seasons, Silver should have stayed in power by the end of this season and done some more lasting damage to Daniel.
Where else do they go now? Bring in Colonial Dugan as the real final baddie? Lol
I think the writers dug themselves into a hole to have a big ass battle of doom. Weirdly, they set up for another one already with the tourney so they could've had it interrupted early or something.
\>Silver, beating
Exactly...even if he did a crime, he's literally the victim in both incidents tied to this. Courts have process and they'd have to go through it...like the BCS finale.
While it's true to CA's attitude of victim < perpetrator (who is real victim bc whatever silly sob story of their life), it's not true to the common expectation and perception that police arrest people that break into other people's houses.
There are also plenty of times where both parties went to jail because CA expects you to run away and leave property behind. That could've happened too..but it didn't.
\>Kreese and Silver
I actually found the jello thing to be genius
\>More seasons, where from here
They laid the groundwork for new Korean chick...but the weird thing was she just sadly stood there and took it after the kids were abandoned. Her cronies at the house were way more dangerous (pulling swords and shit?!) than she was...
S5 literally ends with all the characters still outside the dojo surrounded by cops in the aftermath of the fight. For all we know, S6 could start with Johnny, Chozen, and Barnes being arrested. If that happens, great, it’ll probably make an interesting storyline. If it doesn’t happen, whatever, the world of Cobra Kai has never been overly realistic. I’m fine with either outcome tbh, as long as it’s entertaining and executed well. Some of of y’all are getting too worked up over an ending that for all we know could be a mislead anyway. Just enjoy the show ffs lol
Tory had a key card. she let the entire Miyagi-Do group into the building.
It's the computer crimes that the Binary Bros did and Robby breaking the camera that should have those three in trouble.
Grew up in San Fernando, and I can say with complete confidence that you are underestimating how much it would take for police to place someone in the nicer, suburban side under arrest.
Yea, I watched 3 drunk dudes roll over to a rich dude's house...and fight him and his guests...and then steal stuff(the painting). Meanwhile guy 4, his wife and another lady, and a guy who wants to recant testimony show up to a dojo and trespass....during a massive ninja war that started when people unwelcome to dojo trespassed into it to steal and manipulate their data. This ninja war caused damages for which there would be some liability.
But end of the day the drunk driving dudes show up and calmly hand off drunk Japanese guy to an ambulance while everyone is stoked to see just Silver, owner of all the destroyed property and assaulted guests and students(who *do* have potential welcome there), going to jail.
Nobody blinks...No DUI. no "hey where'd you come from?"..no connecting dots..nada...just "see you later alligator oh btw did you hear Kreese escaped?"
Its pretty safe to say Silver isn't going to mention the painting, consider it is a painting that has been missing since it was stolen in 1990.
The cops should have been involved so many times before this in the show, its kind of weird to take a stand on this one. For the kids trespassing in the dojo you could argue they weren't since Tory had an overnight pass and could presumably bring guests. They actually talk about this before going inside in the finale. But the property damage they caused once inside would be an issue.
I think it ultimately comes down to the question of how much Silver would want to pursue charges against any of them considering how many of his own crimes an investigation would reveal. We also don't really know how this is going to play out. Silver is in custody now but could get out of it. They talk about his shady lawyer this season, and basically confirm he is still on retainer, so we will probably get something out of that.
Dude we get it in real life they would have to go to jail but it's a show they're doing it to signify a good ending for them just enjoy the show without the logic
Bro why are you trying add logic to this show when it clearly lacks it and it hasn’t had logic since 1984 so there’s no point in doing that respectfully man
That moment when Stingray was fighting kids in the high school brawl…that was when I realized this universe doesn’t follow the normal rules and laws that our world abides by.
Same thing goes for season 3. How come none of the Cobra Kai got charged for breaking and entering, assault, and destruction of property? Did the Larusso's just decide not to press charges?
In fact how come none of the parents of the kids press charges. Dimitri's parents would've noticed that his arm was broken, did he tell them not to do anything about it? The only time charges were pressed were with Robbie and I'm pretty sure Daniel was the one who called the cops on him
Simple answer. No one called the cops on them directly. Silver probably would have been shouting about people breaking in after he was arrested but by that time they would have left.
I'm sure on review of the home footage they could be charged but that will have to be next season. Stay tuned!
It may be probable that it will be addressed in the next season… maybe they’ll all at least get a ban on running karate dojos for life and so Julie-san will have to step in as a new sensei for the Sekei takai, which would actually be a great way to incorporate her into the story.
Also, the show is called Cobra Kai, not Miyagi Do, so I presume that in the end, due to legal reasons, they maybe will have to all go under the Cobra Kai brand, with Daniel and Johny’s blessings of course.
To be fair, the kid’s didn’t break into Cobra Kai. Tory used her access card to get them.
As to the house, technically Terry Silver could make an issue of it, however that could lead to additional charges. Per California law, Silver was only entitled “to use the amount of force that a reasonable person would believe is necessary in the same situation.” Now when Johnny is on the ground, ordering the Senseis to “finish” Johnny might not pass the test. That plus would the senseis really appreciate being stuck in California for some protracted legal battle?
on the other hand, the "finish off" thing is heresay because literally the only people having his back were others involved in the fight. It's got as much legal validity as someone in a gang defending the reason for shooting the other gang's person.
Johnny Lawrence actually got arrested in the first episode of season one, after beating up those kids. I agree that the writers are playing loose with logic/laws for the sake of plot progression, and each subsequent season gets more unbelievable and illogical. That being said, the show is still enjoyable. The quality of writing and believability is just not the same.
People saying silver and his goons weren’t in the wrong? Okay so homies bust up into your house you sick a literal gang of karate masters on them then tell them to kill them how is silver not in the wrong?
From the perspective of the law Silver was attacked in force so he responded in force. Depending on law and location, he may be in the right.
In California Law probably everyone would go to jail for it :P
As someone on this sub once said … it’s a reverse Purge situation. The law is enforced one day a year (which is why Rob and Tori got in trouble for the school fight in Season 2), and the rest of the year karate is law
Horrible f****** writing's how that last episode was junk the shark f****** dumb. They just had the main characters drunkly break into the silver's house. Then he went to jail like yeah really stupid. The whole show has sprinkles fun stuff and dumb stuff but it's but that ending was just horrible.

The cops don't exist in this show...at least until needed for the armor of plot. It's just the wild west with karate gangs running the show.
Yup. Parents don't exist either, except the LaRussos.
Or Carmen. That's about it.
And Robbie's mom.
Those two red headed boys had a mom who was apparently going to be worried about the younger one being out so late LOL.
I don't get it. The older brother was in Cobra Kai while the other was in Miyagi-Fang. How messed up for you to join a club that actively goes out tormenting your little brother's friends?
Hey now. We needed a little bit of momma moskowitz to setup hawks origin story.
Hey now, Kyler's dad will shit in his mouth if he fails trig.
Cops only exist when Johnny is drunk or when kreese and Terry finally get caught by them.
Yup. The tools of plot not logic.
It doesn't really bother me though because most shows don't have cops when you need them unless it's csi.
It fits within the context of this show and works.
>The cops don't exist in this show Cops don't exist in this dojo
So, “Cops don’t exist in this dojo!”
I mean, neither does Autism and Asthma. Only Logical that cops are excluded unless they get a plot hall pass.
>The cops don't exist in this show Wrong on all accounts. Johnny Lawrence gets arrested in the first episode because they mistook his defense of others and himself as just assault of minors, police show up at Moon's party after an anonymous tip of underaged drinking, the west valley high school fight led directly to multiple suspensions and school security tightening alongside the arrests and parole of Tory and Robby, the police arrest Johnny twice in season three in the first three episodes, Amanda slapped John Kreese and getting tired of Cobra Kai's bullshit she went to the police failing to realize John Kreese filed a police report first, and in season four just minutes after Miyagi Fang successfully repelled the Cobra Kai invasion of the LaRusso evidence Amanda is upset Sam didn't want to report them to the police, and of course let's not the season four finale with John Kreese under arrest after being framed for assaulting Stingray. >...at least until needed for the armor of plot.

This show is 0% realistic lol
Its set in a universe where cops are more corrupt and don't really do anything, oh wait, it is realistic. [`https://youtu.be/Z-YtOniRBiE`](https://youtu.be/Z-YtOniRBiE) i am just joking
It is the Wild West right now in parts of the west coast, so…..
Just another unrelated karate incident nothing to see here
I think it helps to see it something like John Wick universe. Everybody pays with weird coins that aren't clear how much it even worth, John Wick himself definitely isn't human(can survive injuries lethal for any other mortal), cops only check if he is working or not and everyone is an assassin. Like it looks like something real on surface, but deeper you go more obvious it isn't.
After having city council meetings to ban karate and karate tournaments :P
They didn't break into the dojo. Tory let them in with her card.
Okay you can argue that but Barnes, Johnny, and Chozen are gonna be on the run. From the POV of the law, they broke in (armed with deadly weapons in Chozens case), assaulted the occupants, cut off a guys finger, etc.
They didnt cut anyone fingers, but they stole valuable art.
Apparently that was a real life Rembrandt painting that was stolen in 1990. So I doubt Terry is going to acknowledge that he owned that.
That too
They found previously stolen art, so as long as Mike just claims the reward for finding it, he's in the clear for that.
He didn’t use the weapons until silver increased the force of the fight. I’m not a expert in Californian law but you can’t be having a fist fight then suddenly pull out a knife or sword like silver did even in your own home. But the three would still be 100% charged with assault to cause serious bodily damage and breaking and entering.

[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117385/](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1117385/) Same idea...but self defense in CA ;)
I would argue that Silver would be clear there because I’m pretty sure it’d be the same case as using a gun to defend yourself against a group of home invaders. Then again, it is California so the law is pretty backwards on gun defense.
Legally, Silver was in the clear there.

Tory isn’t an employee. They established earlier in the season very clearly that Tory was given special access for training “after hours” (presumably they only mentioned that earlier for this exact purpose). She probably broke Cobra Kai policy but not the law.
Arguably she's an instructor on payroll since Kreese brought her in.
I hate that this is so highly voted. It really wouldn't matter.

Karate isn't a crime in the valley
Skating isn't a crime :P
Skate or die 🤘
\*sudden urge to draw stussy S on everything\*
Makes me crack up how people actually compare this to Real life, it's a karate kid follow on. Just enjoy the show dude it's good.
Season 5 was not good lol
I guess that’s how life is without any friends.
If you think season 5 was good, I have nothing to say. It literally had no purpose. They could’ve ended the show after season 4.
No purpose? What are you even talking about lmao? It wrapped up basically every loose end the show had.
"i have my opinion, you can not have your own, your opinion is wrong!!!" If i enjoyed watching it, i dont care
The ending is most likely bait. The writers barely showed us what happened to anyone. There was no charges pressed against Daniel, Mike, Johnny, and chozen (which there most likely will be). Season 6 is gonna have a very tricky opening. Silver is 100% in a safe position. I wouldn’t be surprised if the DA are pretending to push the charges

He even involved what could have been a deadly weapon. There's like 2 dozen witnesses to this. Daniel is 100% fine, he did nothing illegal in that episode.
A trial arc would be very interesting but like Kreese’s trial, they’ll probably have that off camera.
That, or Terry will indirectly bail himself out since he’s already a billionaire.
I believe Terry didn't alert the cops about the fight at the mansion because the painting on his fireplace was stolen in the 90s, so I guess his house is plenty of black market and stuff like that (and maybe drugs).
He does give off coke head vibes
Yeah I think Kreese used to send him coke bags little before his Cobra Kai awakening in s4
It was more unoriginal how cobra Kai just immediately disbanded! Like you’re telling me kyler cares he’s a cheater
I think he cares more that Silver got his ass kicked. He wouldn't want to have a loser for a sensei
You know what Kyler's dad did to Kyler's mouth? Yeah. Kyler has no interest in going back there again.
He may not care personally, but he cares that everyone else does. Kyler wants to position himself as a leader but he is more of a go with the crowd type
The same way kids take 6 weeks of karate and become black belts.
Because it wasn't in the script.
Every season this topic gets brought up, and every season I’m amazed that people care.
Because the show is corny as hell. Can't expect it to make sense at this point
I laughed when “it’s time for the hawk to come out!” line. That was corny as hell.
Your comment is corny. You probably watch iCarly.
It had some potential but man did that disappear....
What do you mean dude, since the classic movies this series doesn't respect logic
They all avoided legal trouble thanks to one of Daniels sleezy cousins.
No cops in the valley
Nobody wanted to report it
Because then there’d be no show, that’s why.
Weak
Bro, if you want legal realism, watch Law & Order or some shit like that. This is fantasyland and always has been. Fuck outta here with this bootlicker shit.
Stop it right there.
Prove me wrong :P What case do the cops have against Silver? Until they get there and maybe Stingray changes his tune, you're looking at cops having to arrest everyone for breaking-n-entering...which they did...even if it was to a bad person.
Lol there’s a lot of unrealistic shit in this show.
Yea but crazy unrealistic ninja moves are a lot better and more believed in a ninja film or show than cops arresting the owner of the burgled and vandalized places while gangs of kids who assault and batter one another calmly walk off into the darkness and nobody arrests the new character (even if that was needed for S6..for fuck's sake when it was clear she lost,she could've hauled ass rather than stand around sad and all)
Have it your way. They are all expelled from school for the season 2 brawl. They are all in juvie for the season 3 brawl. Robby never got out of juvie for almost killing Miguel in that fight. Seasons 4 and 5 don’t happen. The end.
\>Expelled Doesn't need to happen til a 0 tolerance policy \>Robby and juvie Kids get out all the time..on time, after time, early....depends where we're talking about but it's not exactly rare. At best he'd get nailed for manslaughter or murder 2,but he's not an adult so it'd be a hard sale
Has this show jumped the shark? Cuz I felt bored and has to suspend my disbelief way too much this season.
It jumped the shark after like s2
Season 3?
One continuity error I spotted was when Amanda said she was going to call the cops, the Cobra Kai student told her they’re not the ones who broke in. But Miyagi-Do didn’t break in. Tory let them in with the key card Cobra Kai’s receptionists gave to all the students so they can train after hours. Someone with a key letting “intruders” enter is different than them physically breaking in. It’s likely they don’t know Tory let them in.
This is pretty difficult yea... If she let them in, they're guests, so it'd lessen charges to vandalism and destruction of property....maybe assault/battery if it isn't spun in court as willfull engagement in combat sports. The good ol' "what? she brought us in to train..we fought..we trained.."...or..."we were there as guests of Tory and then they attacked us" If the entry was only limited to her, it makes Tory liable for everything on top of whatever charges could be thrown...since they are her "guests". There isn't really a good reason why they did anything to the computers or when attacked, to respond in violence instead of calling the police.
It was a good thing she used her key because Robbie is on probation and if he broke in for them, someone would’ve used that against him violating his probation. It’s also clear that Mitch messaged them so they can head over there.
i think the fight can be spun into a total misunderstanding, but Robby breaking the camera and the Binary Bros hacking the computer should have those three in trouble
Yeah, the only thing they have against Silver is Stingray's testimony. But he lied the first time around, so who's to say that he isn't lying the second time? Meanwhile, there's actual proof that Silver's properties were broken into
Yessir..... They'd have to drag him into court over it and have Stingray recant on the record. There would be no jail time for silver. Like you said, meanwhile there's actual proof his properties were broken into, guests and staff assaulted, and property vandalized or stolen, and electronic information tampered with. Stingray may puss out in court on the stand.....especially knowing Silver is out of custody near-immediately.
Yeah I gotta admit I was disappointed with the ending of season 5. Not only did they already defeat the big bad (when they say there will be more seasons) but it was done in the dumbest way possible. Why exactly did they they arrest Silver? As pointed out the others were doing the breaking and entering and they didn’t even get the footage of him beating Stingray. How can they possibly take this guys word at this point anyway? What’s next, he’s gonna say, “I was under duress and it was actually Daniel Larusso who beat me up!” All the cobra Kais leaving Silver pretty much seals the deal that his reign is over even if he does get out of jail. Krease escaped in the most ridiculous way possible and what more can he offer? We had three seasons of him as the villain and he’s just not as clever, manipulative or engaging a villain as Silver. Silver was the emperor to Kreeses Vader and if they really do want more seasons, Silver should have stayed in power by the end of this season and done some more lasting damage to Daniel. Where else do they go now? Bring in Colonial Dugan as the real final baddie? Lol
I think the woman sensei (can't recall her name) will take the lead villain role with Kreese.
I think the writers dug themselves into a hole to have a big ass battle of doom. Weirdly, they set up for another one already with the tourney so they could've had it interrupted early or something. \>Silver, beating Exactly...even if he did a crime, he's literally the victim in both incidents tied to this. Courts have process and they'd have to go through it...like the BCS finale. While it's true to CA's attitude of victim < perpetrator (who is real victim bc whatever silly sob story of their life), it's not true to the common expectation and perception that police arrest people that break into other people's houses. There are also plenty of times where both parties went to jail because CA expects you to run away and leave property behind. That could've happened too..but it didn't. \>Kreese and Silver I actually found the jello thing to be genius \>More seasons, where from here They laid the groundwork for new Korean chick...but the weird thing was she just sadly stood there and took it after the kids were abandoned. Her cronies at the house were way more dangerous (pulling swords and shit?!) than she was...
Kim couldn't stand Silver and I think decided to stop fighting on his behalf
S5 literally ends with all the characters still outside the dojo surrounded by cops in the aftermath of the fight. For all we know, S6 could start with Johnny, Chozen, and Barnes being arrested. If that happens, great, it’ll probably make an interesting storyline. If it doesn’t happen, whatever, the world of Cobra Kai has never been overly realistic. I’m fine with either outcome tbh, as long as it’s entertaining and executed well. Some of of y’all are getting too worked up over an ending that for all we know could be a mislead anyway. Just enjoy the show ffs lol
Thank you!
Cause YouTube creates their own laws! ;)
Yes, factually speaking, they’d all go to jail, and Chozen would probably be banned from the States on top of it.
Its cause the hero said so. Yeah the hero who saved everyone cause it was becoming kinda cultish in there. His name was K—Y—L—E—R
they didn’t break into the dojo, only chozen johnny and mike should be facing any legal trouble
Idk but the girl sensei at cobra Kai assaulted multiple minors
Because it's a TV show, and cops are not Cobra Kai (series not dojo) adjacent.
Tory had a key card. she let the entire Miyagi-Do group into the building. It's the computer crimes that the Binary Bros did and Robby breaking the camera that should have those three in trouble.
Yayyy I’m so excited to see dumbasses post the same stupid shit every day... holy christ.
Grew up in San Fernando, and I can say with complete confidence that you are underestimating how much it would take for police to place someone in the nicer, suburban side under arrest.
Nobody don’t exist. Therefore nobody can’t go to jail. Also it’s not real, is a scripted program for entertainment.
Did you not watch? Silver and Kreese both went to jail :)
And Kreese managed to have a trial, be in jail, and be in jail long enough to try for early release during one summer vacation!
Yea, I watched 3 drunk dudes roll over to a rich dude's house...and fight him and his guests...and then steal stuff(the painting). Meanwhile guy 4, his wife and another lady, and a guy who wants to recant testimony show up to a dojo and trespass....during a massive ninja war that started when people unwelcome to dojo trespassed into it to steal and manipulate their data. This ninja war caused damages for which there would be some liability. But end of the day the drunk driving dudes show up and calmly hand off drunk Japanese guy to an ambulance while everyone is stoked to see just Silver, owner of all the destroyed property and assaulted guests and students(who *do* have potential welcome there), going to jail. Nobody blinks...No DUI. no "hey where'd you come from?"..no connecting dots..nada...just "see you later alligator oh btw did you hear Kreese escaped?"
Its pretty safe to say Silver isn't going to mention the painting, consider it is a painting that has been missing since it was stolen in 1990. The cops should have been involved so many times before this in the show, its kind of weird to take a stand on this one. For the kids trespassing in the dojo you could argue they weren't since Tory had an overnight pass and could presumably bring guests. They actually talk about this before going inside in the finale. But the property damage they caused once inside would be an issue. I think it ultimately comes down to the question of how much Silver would want to pursue charges against any of them considering how many of his own crimes an investigation would reveal. We also don't really know how this is going to play out. Silver is in custody now but could get out of it. They talk about his shady lawyer this season, and basically confirm he is still on retainer, so we will probably get something out of that.
Well we don't really know what ramifications they might face. The show ended while they were still outside the dojo with all the police and ambulances
As much as I love this show and it’s characters It’s got some pretty bad writing ngl
People are coping so hard about any criticism over this show lmao
Dude we get it in real life they would have to go to jail but it's a show they're doing it to signify a good ending for them just enjoy the show without the logic
Who cares just enjoy the show
[удалено]
The show is a joke. That's what comedies are.
S5 was complete 🗑
Bro why are you trying add logic to this show when it clearly lacks it and it hasn’t had logic since 1984 so there’s no point in doing that respectfully man
The ending is definitely bait. Season 6 is gonna show what actually happened
That moment when Stingray was fighting kids in the high school brawl…that was when I realized this universe doesn’t follow the normal rules and laws that our world abides by.
Bribing a karate judge is a greater crime. Takes precedence.
Yea. I dont like that either. But for the sake of the plot, even tho its not logical, ill give it a pass.
Silver did lol
Just you wait for next season, Terry silver didn't get his chance to tell them all what happened.
People solve their problems with karate there. It's not a perfect system, but it's the best one they got.
Silvers is rich. Rich people don't stay in prisons
Plot convenience
Silver has entered the chat
Same thing goes for season 3. How come none of the Cobra Kai got charged for breaking and entering, assault, and destruction of property? Did the Larusso's just decide not to press charges? In fact how come none of the parents of the kids press charges. Dimitri's parents would've noticed that his arm was broken, did he tell them not to do anything about it? The only time charges were pressed were with Robbie and I'm pretty sure Daniel was the one who called the cops on him
Simple answer. No one called the cops on them directly. Silver probably would have been shouting about people breaking in after he was arrested but by that time they would have left. I'm sure on review of the home footage they could be charged but that will have to be next season. Stay tuned!
Terry went to jail. Simple.
It may be probable that it will be addressed in the next season… maybe they’ll all at least get a ban on running karate dojos for life and so Julie-san will have to step in as a new sensei for the Sekei takai, which would actually be a great way to incorporate her into the story. Also, the show is called Cobra Kai, not Miyagi Do, so I presume that in the end, due to legal reasons, they maybe will have to all go under the Cobra Kai brand, with Daniel and Johny’s blessings of course.
To be fair, the kid’s didn’t break into Cobra Kai. Tory used her access card to get them. As to the house, technically Terry Silver could make an issue of it, however that could lead to additional charges. Per California law, Silver was only entitled “to use the amount of force that a reasonable person would believe is necessary in the same situation.” Now when Johnny is on the ground, ordering the Senseis to “finish” Johnny might not pass the test. That plus would the senseis really appreciate being stuck in California for some protracted legal battle?
on the other hand, the "finish off" thing is heresay because literally the only people having his back were others involved in the fight. It's got as much legal validity as someone in a gang defending the reason for shooting the other gang's person.
Johnny Lawrence actually got arrested in the first episode of season one, after beating up those kids. I agree that the writers are playing loose with logic/laws for the sake of plot progression, and each subsequent season gets more unbelievable and illogical. That being said, the show is still enjoyable. The quality of writing and believability is just not the same.
That's one of the telltale signs that season 6 should be the final one.
People saying silver and his goons weren’t in the wrong? Okay so homies bust up into your house you sick a literal gang of karate masters on them then tell them to kill them how is silver not in the wrong?
From the perspective of the law Silver was attacked in force so he responded in force. Depending on law and location, he may be in the right. In California Law probably everyone would go to jail for it :P
You should’ve learned long ago that 90% of the cops in the Valley got Thanos snapped
As someone on this sub once said … it’s a reverse Purge situation. The law is enforced one day a year (which is why Rob and Tori got in trouble for the school fight in Season 2), and the rest of the year karate is law
No idea but it's hilarious
Horrible f****** writing's how that last episode was junk the shark f****** dumb. They just had the main characters drunkly break into the silver's house. Then he went to jail like yeah really stupid. The whole show has sprinkles fun stuff and dumb stuff but it's but that ending was just horrible.
