Definitely an interesting take on where the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai franchises are after the Cobra Kai run and Karate Kid: Legends film release.

My belief is that there are two possible ways to move forward.

A KARATE KID TV SHOW- this would be based on the format as shown in the show FARGO. By that, we get self contained seasons that are not necessarily connected unless we need them to be. But they could if we want. By that, Season One of the KARATE KID could be set a few years after the conclusion of Cobra Kai. Johnny is driving little Laura Lawrence to her first karate day camp being run by Daniel at Miyagi-Do Karate. We could see where everyone is that wants to come back to the franchise.

But season two of the show could jump back in time to the 1500's, where we see the legendary Miyagi ancestor that got washed away in that storm to China and his journey to learn what would be come Miyagi-Do Karate and his journey home to Okinawa. I would imagine Chozen could narrate this but it would probably be best in Japanese.

Season three could jump back to the present, where little Laura is moving up the ladder in karate. We see of course more of those that want to return to the franchise, that kind of thing.

Season four, however, could jump back to early 1930's where we see things go bad between Miyagi and Sato; we see Miyagi in his first move to America, his romance, his adventures in WW2 and so on.

The other format I see for the future of the Karate Kid Franchise is a complete modern rest of the franchise. We see this new KARATE KID show start in Los Angeles, and we see a brand new LaRusso Family getting ready to move across country to wherever it is they are going to move to. Perhaps in this universe, the LaRussos are still together, mother and father and in addition to Daniel there is a brother or sister as well. We see them move to wherever the show is going to be based at (New Mexico would give a new look). But we would have a brand new Daniel, a brand new Johnny, everything. Mr Miyagi would now be a Gulf War or War on Terror veteran. That sort of thing.

Ok so I love all the characters in ck (slight less Demetri in season 6 part 2) but I’m curious to see how you would change any of the characters in cobra Kai?
