Cobra Kai Season Two: Did Our Predictions Happen?

Cobra Kai is my new Game of Thrones. The karate dramedy has just as many twists, turns, and jaw-dropping moments.

I watched the entire second season in one day. It's a darker season, and I LOVED it. I'll be thinking of  that crazy, terrible, dark ending until we get season three (which you can announce any minute now, YouTube!).

After I watched season one, I posted ten predictions for season two. I thought I'd revisit those predictions. Let's see how many I got right.

Note: I will be rewatching season two, of course, a second time (and probably a third and fourth. I'm not that obsessed, it's just THAT good). I'll come back and post new predictions for season three soon.

Also note: THE FOLLOWING CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR SEASON TWO.

I repeat-- SPOILERS AHEAD. Stop reading. Go watch the show. Come back after. 

My Original Ten Predictions for Season Two of Cobra Kai. Four of my ten predictions happened. Two or three can still happen (and I'm holding firm to a couple of those). So, overall, I'd say I did an okay job :)

1. Miguel trains with Kreese and leaves Johnny: DID NOT HAPPEN



And thank God. But there is a divide, and Sensei Kreese takes over a number of students. Miguel comes very close to slipping entirely into the dark side, but thanks to the excellent development of Johnny's character, Johnny's relationship with Miguel becomes stronger than ever.

Throughout season two, I kept predicting we'd have a big Hawk versus Miguel story. That happens just briefly, but then that ending comes. THAT ENDING. Oh, God. I won't tell you about it here. Even with spoiler warnings, I just can't write about it. Heartbreaking.


2. Johnny joins Miyagi-Do Karate: NOT YET!



I'm holding firm that this will happen. He may not become Daniel's student. But I see Daniel and Johnny working together before this series concludes. Johnny's evolution is too big and too great, and he needs the balance that Miyagi-Do offers. Spoiler, obviously (I've warned several times, but just don't want to get yelled at in the comments!): Johnny abandons Cobra Kai at the end. He won't abandon the martial arts. So where will he go? It may take another season or two, but I see Johnny and Daniel teaming up to defeat Kreese.

3. Sensei Kreese takes over Cobra Kai: IT HAPPENED!



YEP. At the end, Kreese has control of Cobra Kai, and as also predicted, Hawk will be his top student.




4. We will see a Johnny versus Kreese fight, and Johnny will lose: IT HAPPENED!

Not only did it happen, but it was the opening scene! And think how awesome the opening scene sets up the entire series AND that terrible ending.

"Showing mercy to an old man?"

Johnny shouldn't have done that. The show does a powerful job of showing, unfortunately, that showing mercy can get one hurt.

5. Samantha LaRusso gets back into karate with her father: IT HAPPENED!



Yep! Robby and Sam are his top students. Miyagi-Do continues to grow. But what will happen to Robby after that tragic ending to season two? I just don't know, and I won't be able to stop thinking about it until season three.

6. Terry Silver is revealed as Miguel's father: DID NOT HAPPEN

But still possible! Miguel's mom continues to talk about how bad Miguel's father was. This could be another epic moment later in the series.

7. Ali returns: IT KINDA SORTA HAPPENED!



The one happy cheer we have for the ending is that Ali returns a Facebook message Johnny sent her! This sets up a potential return, something fans are craving, no doubt. Come on, Elisabeth Shue! We want you back!

8. Robby gets seriously hurt: DO I HAVE TO ANSWER THIS?



I predicted someone would get seriously hurt, and I thought it would be Robby. I was half right.

I don't want to say any more. I just want to go cry in a corner!

9. The big rivalry will be Samantha versus Miguel: NOT SO MUCH

Yes, they are at odds all throughout, but there's hope for the two of them. As we saw in the trailers, Cobra Kai has a new badass woman of its own-- Tory. And Tory made one hell of a match for Samantha this season. Their story is far from over.


10. We will NOT get a Johnny versus Daniel rematch. But Daniel will fight: NO AND YES!

I didn't think we needed Johnny and Daniel fighting. I SO want them to be friends. Season two had a great moment (the Mexican dinner scene) just like season one (the car ride and drinks after). Those are some of my favorites. Unfortunately, it can never last. Daniel finds Samantha drunk and passed out at Johnny's, and it starts a quick fight. It's a jump-out-of-your-chair moment, and it was perfect. No fight-to-the-death. Just a good, legit squabble.

My other favorite scene: Daniel saving Robby on the beach! Every Karate Kid movie had a scene where Miyagi saved Daniel, and it was always a brilliant, adrenaline-rushing superhero moment. In season one, we got that with Johnny saving Miguel. This time, it was Daniel's turn to be the superhero. And it was perfect.

Season two gets another A+ from me, and it's possibly even better due to the greater progression of the characters, the (re)introduction of the ultimate villain, and the dark and disturbing actions that may lead to . . . the loss of a beloved character.

Thank you to the show's creators, actors, and YouTube for giving us one of the greatest shows of our time.

NOW, tell me. What did you think of season two? Any predictions you had that did or did not come true? Let me know in the comments!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Joe Chianakas is a the author of Rabbit in Red, a popular horror trilogy. His next book, Darkness Calls, is represented by Metamorphosis Literary Agency. Follow Joe on Facebook or Twitter.

My New Agents and New Novel!

Writing is such an incredible journey. I don't like to view my writing career in terms of touchdowns or goals completed. I'm in this for the long haul, thanks to enthusiastic readers like you. Today, I want to tell you what's happening with my next big novel, DARKNESS CALLS.

I have been offered and have accepted literary representation from Patty Carothers and Amy Brewer of Metamorphosis Literary Agency!

Patty called me a couple weeks ago and we had THE TALK. I was immediately impressed. She had insights about my novel that no other agent had provided. She compared the creepy vibe of the book to Stephen King's IT (how could I not love her?)! But it wasn't all compliments. It was also a discussion of areas within the book that could be improved.

That's what I'm looking for. I could have self-published any time and relied on the readers and success of Rabbit in Red. But I'm not interested in publishing just any old book. I'm interested in writing the best book I can and taking it to new heights.

What's DARKNESS CALLS about? I'd like to save the official synopsis and back-of-the-book blurbs for a later date. We'll have lots of exciting things to share in the future. What I will tell you is this: there are monsters, there is death, and there is true horror. This is ultimately about life and death, and how we experience tragedy (can we find our light within the darkness?). It's easily one of the most meaningful books I've written. The first draft was written during the last year of my mom's life. Subsequent drafts took place after she passed. Is the Darkness a metaphor for the cancer that took her? It's not that simple. But sure, the Darkness takes the people we love, and some very special people will be called to face it.

It's the coolest thing I've ever written, and I can't wait to share it with you. But be patient. I will work with my agents to do another round of edits, and then we shop it around to publishers (probably this summer). In the meantime, I hope you'll continue to follow me. I'll give you updates, but I'll also be sharing what I learn about this process-- tips for other authors, my favorite reads, and more.

And, of course, I'll never forget about Rabbit in Red. The trilogy holds a special place in my heart. For my readers, I hope you'll look forward to Darkness Calls. Plus, don't forget one of my short stories from Nightmares under the Moonlight is currently being made into a short film! That's going to be a lot of fun, and I'll certainly post updates about that, too.

Thanks for following the rabbit with me. Now, let's explore the Darkness.

After its first big revision, I reached out to some Rabbit in Red fans and other friends/readers. Thanks go to Cari Corbin, Jennifer Flaig, Kristen Kelly, Spencer Mullikin, Valerie Robert, and Katie Jackson. 

I then took the manuscript to my editor, Kathy Calore Teel in spring 2018. She’s exceptionally talented, and I can’t thank her enough.

Thank you to local journalist Elise Zwicky has always been exceptional at catching my typos. 

Last but certainly not least, my amazing friend and colleague, Tracy Walper, worked with me on the story's writing style. We rewrote section after section, and she's got one of the best eyes in the business, that's for sure.

Don't stray too far, friends. I've got some more work to do :)

On Finding Balance With Our Passions

Today, I begin a journey that's very close to my heart: teaching martial arts. I put on the Sensei hat (or belt, rather). But it's not the first time I've worn the belt.

In 2001, Metamora High School offered me a full-time job teaching English. I loved it, and I wanted to get more involved with the kids outside of the classroom. I had played some basketball, so I approached our coach. He let me tag along as an assistant, although I did little more than keep track of stats at the games. To be fair, I didn't know much about coaching basketball. Except for my five minutes of fame in junior high (yes, I once scored the game winning shot in 7th grade!), I didn't play organized ball. I played street ball. I was used to throwing elbows and getting punched.

Me, demonstrating a flying side kick about 15 years ago!

My friends and I walked the streets after school looking for game. More than once, we started a game with the wrong group of guys, a group who didn't like losing. A cheap foul turned into a fist fight. I had been chased down streets and got in plenty of tangles thanks to good, old street ball.

It's one thing that motivated me to walk into a martial arts school about twenty-seven years ago. And it changed my life.

When coaching organized basketball didn't work out, I had a brilliant idea-- why not offer an after school martial arts program?

The first year I taught the program, we had perhaps a dozen students. Near its peak, we had over one-hundred. Amazing. I went from teaching one karate class a week to teaching ten, at multiple schools in our district. Over ten years, we produced eleven black belts and dozens of world champions. We were featured in Black Belt Magazine, earning best youth program in the entire USA.

I look back at those days and wonder how the heck it all happened. How did I have the energy? Why did I ever quit?

Yeah, at some point, I dove so deeply into my passions that I nearly drowned. That happens to me frequently, and I write this post for  three reasons: 1. to connect with others who have similar experiences, 2. to provide some insight so that we don't drown in our passions, and 3. to also to offer myself a note of caution, as I open up the doors to my dojo once again.

Time and time, I've repeatedly drowned in various passions. I didn't simply quit the old martial arts school because I was burned out. Primarily, I was offered a full-time job as a professor at my local college. When I switched schools, it was too much to do both.  Immediately, though, I looked for ways to get involved that weren't specifically martial arts. So, I turned to fitness classes. I taught cardio kickboxing (okay, somewhat similar) and other classes. I told myself I would do this no more than two days a week.

By the end of the year, I was teaching fitness classes five days a week at my college. How did this happen again?

I continued that for a few years, until again I found myself drowning again, wishing I had more time to do X, Y, and Z.

Me, competing in kata at the US Open World Championships

I had an itch to write a novel, a dream I always wanted to do. Once I found a publisher, it ignited a new flame, and suddenly I was waking up early or staying up late to write thousands of words every single day. I completed a trilogy with one new book every year (not to mention a dozen other drafts of projects saved on my computer).

Some of us have this kind of personality. Is it obsessive? Maybe. I get excited very easily. It's one of my greatest strengths, but it's also a weakness.

I've mapped out a full semester of lessons for our karate club. I also forced myself to deeply consider the theme of The Karate Kid. In the film (and in its TV follow up, Cobra Kai), the biggest theme is about balance. "Balance not only for karate. Balance for whole life," Mr. Miyagi says.

I want to do it all-- write hundreds of new books, restart a martial arts program that will create a dozen more black belts, revolutionize fitness, be the best professor I can be, be the best friend and family member possible ... but that's not possible, not to do it all.

So, I apply the lesson of balance to my life. Today, I have 3-5 days where I get up early to write, and my goal is to write 1000 words. (In the past, it was 3000 words a day.) Not only is this a more easily attainable goal, but it allows me to do other things.

My first book series

For the new martial arts club, I have promised myself not to keep adding classes. I am developing personalized training plans. Students who want more training will follow that and document that. I will still happily work with them each week, but I will limit my time. So I don't drown.

I prioritize my work as a professor, and I no longer teach fitness classes. This way, I can take fitness classes. I attend 3-5 fitness classes each week as a student. This is how I refuel to have energy for all my goals.

My advice to all and my caution for my self: reflect on your work/life balance. Find balance. Make time for what you love. But be careful not to drown in your own passions. I've made the mistake of killing the very passions that I loved so much at one point. Teaching, martial arts, writing, fitness-- these are all important things in my life.

We owe it to ourselves and to our passions to find this balance.

How do you balance you life/work passions?

Ten Predictions for Season Two of Cobra Kai

If you are a fan of The Karate Kid and haven't watched Cobra Kai-- YouTube's new series that tells the story of Johnny and Daniel thirty years later-- you're missing out. You don't have to be a Karate Kid fan to enjoy it. This is, without a doubt, the must-see show of 2018.



It has character development that rivals the twists and turns in Game of Thrones. (Good people turn bad, bad turn good, who I root for constantly changes!)

It has comedy that's as hilarious as Rick and Morty (I sang extra loudly to an REO Speedwagon song on the radio this morning).

It's got Shakespearean drama. Johnny and Daniel's kids could be Romeo and Juliet.

Cobra Kai is that good.

But this post isn't a review of the show, which currently has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes-- geez, how much more evidence do you need to watch it?

This is a post about everything I want to see in the second season of Cobra Kai. And yes, YouTube has already confirmed a second season!

So, here are ten predictions of what we will see in season two. Share your thoughts in the comments-- I'd love to know what you think!

SPOILERS AHEAD, obviously. We're talking about season one, so if you haven't watched it yet, STOP READING AND GO WATCH TV. (Can't believe I just wrote that.)

Ten Predictions for Season Two of Cobra Kai:

1. Miguel trains with Kreese and leaves Johnny.



He is the Annakin Skywalker of the show, and he not only won't turn back to good, he will only get worse. I don't want this to happen-- I love the kid! But it has to happen. Why?

Daniel repeats a Miyagi-teaching near the end of the season: "There's no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher. Teacher says, student does."

Johnny has witnessed what Cobra Kai teaching does to kids (it takes seeing his son hurt by the students simply applying his teaching!). and Miguel and Hawk have to remain bad in order for him to realize how terrible "No Mercy" is. Plus, we're seeing Miguel become the young version of Johnny. We just got to see him before he turned, whereas by the time we met Johnny in the original film, he had already been manipulated by Cobra Kai. I could see a long-term redemption perhaps, but it's not in Miguel's immediate future.

And there's one big factor we have to remember. Miguel will learn in season two that Robby is Johnny's son. Miguel has father issues, too-- he and his mom left a "bad guy" behind. Seeing Johnny as a bad father will destroy Miguel's view of him, sending him into the next father-figure. He'll seek even more revenge under Kreese's guidance.

2. Johnny joins Miyagi-Do Karate. 



It may be too late for some of his students, but it's not too late for him. He saw what Miguel did to his own son, and everything about Johnny's character at the end of the show screams "save me."

He sees how respectful his son because of Miyagi-Do. Can you imagine Johnny and Daniel teaming up? It would be incredible! Johnny can offer the aggression of Cobra Kai without the attitude. He needs balance in his life, and Miyagi-Do is the way he'll achieve balance, rebuild a relationship with his son, and ultimately become the hero we wanted to see him be in season one.

3. Sensei Kreese takes over Cobra Kai.  



Miguel and Hawk will become Kreese's top students. This will be another knife in Johnny's back that drives him to change his teaching. Imagine the terrible moment of Miguel telling Johnny that he's the weak man, and turning total heel by joining Kreese's team! Just as Robby wanted to get back at Johnny by training with Daniel, Miguel will get back at him by training with Kreese.




4. We will see a Johnny versus Kreese fight, and Johnny will lose. 
 
It's not because Johnny is weak. It's because Johnny still has great fear of the old evil Sensei. He will realize he has more to learn, but that he can't learn it from Kreese. So, where will Johnny go? This may be another factor that drives him to Miyagi-Do karate.

5. Samantha LaRusso gets back into karate with her father.



We saw this pretty clearly at the end, when Sam practices in the family dojo. It was also foreshadowed when Aisha told her at the tournament that it would be nice to have more girls involved.

6. Terry Silver is revealed as Miguel's father.

Miguel's mother tells Johnny that they left a "bad guy" behind a long time ago, and that Miguel doesn't have any relationship with his father. The father was involved in all sorts of bad business. We know that Silver was involved in corrupt business around the world. There are even similarities between Silver and Miguel's appearances. I expect this to be a big twist near the end of season two, and it will hopefully change Miguel again. He'll seek redemption, as Johnny has. There's hope for the kid, but he's got a lot of uphill battles to fight.

7. Ali returns.



There were just WAY too many references to Ali in the first season for her not to return.Prediction: she will have broken up with her husband, moved back to California, and will start dating Johnny again. I have no doubt that the two will get together, if Cobra Kai can get Elisabeth Shue on board. Johnny even kept a gift from her and carries it with him thirty years later. This will happen, if the actress will agree to the work. Can everyone message her now, please?

8. Robby gets seriously hurt.



Johnny's character is incredibly well developed on the show (props to the writers!). While I do think Johnny will be good, rebuild his relationship with his son, and even partner with Miyagi-Do karate, it may not happen in episode one of season two. Remember how brutal The Karate Kid Part II became? It wasn't about a tournament. It was a street fight. Robby could get jumped by Cobra Kai, get seriously hurt, and this may be another factor that finally forces Johnny to reject Cobra Kai teaching.

9. The big rivalry will be Samantha versus Miguel.

He hit her, even if it was an accident. We'll see girl power in season two. Especially if Robby gets hurt, we will see not a Romeo and Juliet romance, but a Romeo versus Juliet story. This will lead to the 2019 All Valley Tournament, and it will be Sam versus her ex-boyfriend.

Sam will win, and we will cheer!

10. We will NOT get a Johnny versus Daniel rematch. But Daniel will fight.
 
I was furious we didn't get to see the "Rocky III" fight they had planned after a day of drinking. If Johnny and Daniel are to grow, we can't root for them to fight. Believe me, I want to see it, but I also know that the show has to be better than that. They must evolve into characters of mutual respect at least. We will see Daniel fight, though. In previous films, Mr. Miyagi always saved Daniel and fought off the bullies. Now, it's Daniel's turn. And-- connecting to prediction 4-- I am betting we will see Daniel save Johnny from Kreese. That would be quite the showdown!

What are your theories and thoughts? Let me know!

P.S. Cobra Kai writers-- if you need someone on your staff, well . . . get in touch with me! :)

Why did I even write this? Here's a little about me, if you're interested.

Like many kids in the 80s, I watched The Karate Kid so many times I had warped the VHS tape and begged my parents to buy me another. Not only that, but it was my reason to get involved in the martial arts myself. I trained for over twenty years and opened my own successful dojo-- Metamora Martial Arts, an after-school program for kids and parents. That program produced eleven black belts, multiple world champions, and earned Black Belt Magazine's BEST youth program in the entire United States one year! Currently, I run a karate club at a college, where I am a professor of communication.

I write creatively, too. My current series is called Rabbit in Red,  a horror adventure/mystery for teens and adults, and it's developed an international fan base!

New Book Updates!

It is a great honor to be asked, "When's the next book coming out?" For those who have private messaged me and commented on social media, I can't thank you enough.

I thought I'd take a minute to tell you where I am and where I hope to be.

My latest project is titled DARKNESS CALLS. Originally titled The Pit of Darkness, this book has gone through quite a metamorphosis (ironic and appropriate, you'll see, when you read the story).

Here's a little "what's it about" blurb:

The woods outside of a small Midwestern high school lead to all sorts of evil and monsters, collectively called the Darkness. The Darkness feeds on children with great energies—webs of light that only it can see. Beyond the woods hides a powerful magic, the greatest secret in the world. The Darkness desires to consume the webs of light and transform itself into the ultimate beast, all the while guarding the one secret that can destroy it.

Christina and Fiara fought the Darkness once before as kids, and although they survived, they certainly aren’t the same. The Darkness destroyed Christina’s family, and it turned Fiara into something not fully human. Now, it temporarily possesses Christina’s body to gather the new kids it needs.

But Christina isn’t having it this time. She refuses to willingly kill for the Darkness, and she manages to break free from its hold on her. She gathers the ones it wanted dead and forms a small army instead. From all the turbulence of adolescence to life’s biggest mysteries, a group of teenagers embark on a quest to save their friends and ultimately the world.

So, just by reading that I hope you will see that I am trying to create something BIG. That blurb represents just the first part of the story, and I've created five parts-- each told from a different character's point-of-view. I have fallen in love with these characters. Christina, Lawson, Angelica, Teddy, Fiara, Elle, Mr. Lee . . once you meet them all, I hope you will love them, too.

When can you expect it?

Well, Rabbit in Red earned tens-of-thousands of readers, and I will always be honored by its success and the fandom it created. I hope all Rabbit in Red fans will enjoy this, but I also hope Darkness Calls brings in tens-of-thousands of new readers.

So, I'm shopping the book around to agents and new publishers. 

In the meantime, I am working my a$$ off on edits. Here's a summary of that, meant to be advice to all you aspiring authors

I finished the first draft of Darkness Calls in summer 2017. I spent the fall of 2017 doing a re-write. I gathered a team of beta readers winter 2017. Based on their feedback, I re-wrote the book again. Then I found a second team of beta readers early 2018. Re-wrote the book again. Now, I'm working with my Rabbit in Red editor Kathy Teel to go over it one more time. Yes, it's another re-write! 

If it sounds like a lot of work, well, it is! But every edit, every rewrite, every revision takes me one step closer to making this my best book yet. I want to give it my best, and that's why I'm providing you with this update. Yeah, I think you may have enjoyed it just fine, if I had published it already. But by taking a little extra time and collaborating with others, I hope you will LOVE it.

Wish me luck, too, please. Some of you may think it's a given that because I'm already published, I will have no problem publishing this one. Unless you self-publish or run your own publishing company, this is a very challenging industry. So, I need your well wishes and positive thoughts!

If I'm "lucky" (and by lucky I mean if I've worked hard enough to make it happen!), I hope to announce a new partnership this summer. Stay tuned, my friends!

Trilogy Pre-Order, FREE SHIPPING!

Hello, Rabbit in Red friends. Thank you to all who have expressed interest in getting the special trilogy edition.

I am now accepting pre-orders, and I have a great special for you! Let me tell you the how and the why:

Pre-order special: FREE SHIPPING for orders in the United States! Well, it's not free, but I'm paying for it so you don't have to! :)

Plus, it comes SIGNED by me! (International friends-- details for you at the end of this post!)

Considering the size of this book (it's three books in one, after all), that's a really good deal!

1. Pay via PayPal right here for the new low cost of $24.95! You don't even need a PayPal account to do this. There is a regular "pay as guest" option.

2. Double check you enter the correct mailing address. You can change it if you want to ship to a friend.

3. Also tell me in a message to whom I can endorse the book. If you don't tell me this (a lot of people order gifts, so I never assume who to make it out to), I will simply sign it without making it out to anyone. If you have any trouble messaging me that when you order, you can always follow up with an e-mail to joechianakas@gmail.com.

Pre-order dates:

This is part of my way of celebrating my birthday, March 1. :) So from now through my birthday week and a bit beyond, you can pre-order. PRE-ORDER SALE ENDS THURSDAY, MARCH 15.

Books will ship on or near APRIL 2. Estimated arrival of books is the week of April 9. Please make a note that you will not receive these until April.

WHY the wait? Well, part of the reason is that these books are expensive even for me to buy. So, a pre-order allows me to order the books in one bulk shipment, which helps me keep the cost low for you (and offer the special free shipping deal!).

I simply love that you want this book and want to share it with others. It's not about how much money I can make on each book. It's about sharing a love of horror, reading, and Rabbit in Red!

If you can't order by March 15, I will make some extra copies available on my online shop at www.joechianakas.com. However, I will not be able to offer free shipping, so please expect to pay a bit more.

International friends-- shipping is going to cost me about $15 extra. So, my deal for you-- add $10 to your pre-order, and I'll cover the rest. Your total price then is $34.95. Order here.

I know some of you want to know if and when you will be able to order the trilogy edition in bookstores. Right now, no. That's why this is extra special. You can get the individual books from any bookstore in the world. I will try to make this available for more bookstores in the future, though, and maybe even later this spring. But if you'd like to get one signed, then order today.

$24.95 for U.S. customers

$34.95 for international
