Karate Kid & Cobra Kai Villains, Ranked From Least To Most Evil
By RAFAEL MOTAMAYOR
Bonus: Daniel
Although Daniel LaRusso is the titular Karate Kid, he isn't wholly innocent. He lets his vendetta against Cobra Kai get the best of him repeatedly.
He fuels the conflict between Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai at every chance and gets his students involved in what is essentially a karate gang war.
8. Students
Almost every one of the young students of Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai has, at one point, acted like a villain, taking things too far and terrorizing others.
While the students eventually learn balance and join together in a single dojo as friends, they put people in a hospital during a karate gang war.
7. Johnny
Johnny Lawrence was the original bully from "The Karate Kid." After 40 years, he's still rude, mean, and offensive in "Cobra Kai," and constantly mistreats his students.
However, the show is about his redemption. Throughout it, he uses the teachings of Cobra Kai to help kids gain confidence, learn to defend themselves, and be better people.
6. Old Cobra Kai
Johnny's old friends from Cobra Kai are possibly worse now than in the original film, though they also get their redemptions eventually.
When Tommy, Bobby Brown, and Jimmy return on "Cobra Kai," they reminisce about their time together and the awful teachings of John Kreese.
5. Kim Da-Eun
Having only been introduced in Season 5, Kim Da-Eun is one of the newest characters on the show, but she has already made an impact.
Kim is the granddaughter of the karate master who taught both Kreese and Silver, and she is as ruthless as any of them. While her goal is noble, her methods are brutal.
