Bringing Terry Silver (the main antagonist of The Karate Kid Part III) back into the fold for season four, where the war between the titular Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do schools intensifies, has become the worst decision that John Kreese has ever done for himself so far.

WARNING: DO NOT read this any further until you have watched season four. Watch The Karate Kid Trilogy and then the first three seasons of Cobra Kai before watching season four.

Season three of Cobra Kai ended with John Kreese making a phone call to certain someone, hinted to be Terry Silver, which was confirmed in the promotional trailers. Even though the verdict’s still out there, Terry Silver likely is NOT the father of Tory Nichols.

Silver has done well from himself since his protege, Mike Barnes, was defeated at the hands of Daniel LaRusso end of The Karate Kid Part III, OR, SO IT SEEMS… I recently wrote how mental health was a major subplot topic for the series, especially in season four, and Terry Silver is NO exception.
