Unveiling the Untold Karate Kid History: Why Cobra Kai Season 6 Must End a Legendary Romance

Summary

History suggests that Sam and Miguel's relationship in Cobra Kai season 6 may not last, just like Daniel and Ali's failed romance.

The intricate pasts and difficulties in communication between Sam and Miguel suggest that they are not a compatible match. Nevertheless, their mutual passion for karate and shared objectives could potentially allow them to surpass the obstacles faced by Daniel and Ali in their relationship.

With history repeating itself in the universe of Cobra Kai, it is possible that Daniel's past as the Karate Kid could lead to the breakup of the original couple in season 6. Sam and Miguel have been one of the most beloved couples in the Karate Kid franchise, but their relationship has faced numerous challenges since they started dating in the earlier seasons of Cobra Kai. The initial rivalry and animosity between their dojos prevented them from fully committing to each other, and as the series progressed, love triangles and squares only created more distance between them.

In season 5 of Cobra Kai, Miguel and Sam's relationship entered a new phase when they finally mustered the courage to express their true feelings for one another. Miguel admitted that he never wanted to end their relationship and only did so out of love for her, while Sam confessed her love in return. This heartwarming moment in season 5 seemed to reignite their romance. However, considering Cobra Kai's tendency to incorporate storylines from the Karate Kid movies, the future of Sam and Miguel in season 6 may not be as promising as it appeared in season 5.

Daniel & Ali's Failed Romance Means Cobra Kai Season 6 Should Drop Sam & Miguel

Daniel and Ali's relationship in the first Karate Kid movie was a major focus and drove the conflict between Daniel and Johnny. However, despite their apparent happiness following Daniel's tournament win, they only dated for a few months before breaking up after graduation. Daniel recalls that Ali left him for a UCLA football player after their senior prom. Similar to Daniel and Ali, Sam and Miguel's relationship in Cobra Kai seems to be in a stable and positive place.

However, the events of the past Karate Kid movies continue to shape the present in Cobra Kai, which means that Sam and Miguel's relationship may eventually reach a similar climax as Daniel and Ali. This would align with the realistic nature of coming-of-age stories, which often depict the uncertainty of couples like Miguel and Sam ending up together. Given that Sam's storyline in season 5 of Cobra Kai focused more on her personal growth, it would be more fitting for the series' season 6 finale to avoid any cliché developments in her relationship with Miguel.

Cobra Kai Already Showed Sam & Miguel Shouldn't Be Together

Sam and Miguel both have a lot of emotional baggage from their complicated past relationships. Although their initial rivalry at the dojo has lessened, they still struggle to express their feelings, which often leads to misunderstandings. The growing friendship between Miguel and Robby could further complicate their relationship in Cobra Kai season 6, as it has caused conflicts in the past. Considering the various factors holding them back, it seems that Cobra Kai has already established that Sam and Miguel should break up in the upcoming season.

If the show were to quickly resolve their issues without addressing the obstacles that have hindered them, it could create inconsistencies in the storyline. Even if season 6 gradually resolves these obstacles, the limited runtime may not be enough to overcome the complications that have built up over the past five seasons. Additionally, since season 6 marks the end of the series, a logical conclusion to their story would involve them parting ways on good terms, with peace and love.

Why Sam & Miguel Might Succeed Where Daniel & Ali Failed

In contrast to Daniel and Ali, Sam and Miguel both have a strong passion for karate. If they continue to pursue karate in the long term, their shared interest in the sport and mutual goal to advance as martial artists could serve as a bond between them. From a young age, Sam and Miguel have been devoted to practicing Mr. Miyagi's teachings and philosophies. This suggests that before permanently deciding to part ways, they may remind themselves of Mr. Miyagi's wise words: "sometimes, what the heart knows, the head forgets."

In the upcoming season 6 of Cobra Kai, Sam and Miguel will also be training together at the same karate dojo, working towards the common objective of winning the Sekai Taikai. This alone could help them rebuild a strong foundation for their relationship and prevent its collapse. These developments in their relationship would serve as a positive conclusion to Cobra Kai season 6, highlighting how a shared passion for karate can either pose challenges to a relationship or strengthen its roots.
