Kreese’s status asCobra Kai’smain villain was abruptly shaken by a surprising new development in the Netflix series. AfterCobra Kaiseason 5’s ending, Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence thought they had seen the last of Terry Silver. But as it turns out, his legal troubles and loss of his Cobra Kai dojo were merely just hindrances for Thomas Ian Griffith’s character. The main antagonist ofThe Karate Kid Part IIIhas seemingly retaken his position as the greatest threat toJohnny and Daniel’s dojo.
Cobra Kaiseason 6’s second batch of episodes offered a number of surprises, with one of the biggest being the reveal that Terry Silver was aligned with Sensei Wolf, the leader of the Iron Dragons dojo. As a flashback confirmed, Terry Silver managed to avoid legal consequences for his actions in season 4 and season 5, subsequently freeing him up for a tense reunion with Johnny, Daniel, Chozen, and Kreese. In bringing him back,Cobra Kaihas handed over the title of its main villain back to theKarate Kid Part IIIcharacter.
Terry Silver’s Return Has Completely Changed Kreese’s Role
Terry Silver Is The Most Dangerous Of The Two Villains
The way in whichCobra Kaibrought Terry Silver back into the picture has completely shifted the dynamic between Kreese and the two main protagonists. Their animosity for each other hasn’t faded, but there was a noticeable difference in their priorities once they laid eyes on Silver for the first time in Barcelona.

He’s also the bigger threat for Johnny and Daniel as well. Exemplifying that idea is the fact that Terry Silver had one of his old minions, Dennis De Guzman, kidnap Daniel. His willingness to stoop to activities that are outright criminal perfectly demonstrates the difference between the two characters. Both are technically villains, butSilver crosses lines that Kreese generally doesn’t.For all his flaws, it always seemed unlikely that he was the one behind Daniel’s kidnapping.
Terry Silver’s Team Is The Clear Favorite To Win The Sekai Taikai
Terry Silver’s Team Is More Likely To Make The Final Round Than Kreese’s
Even the strength of Terry Silver’s Sekai Taikai team underscores the role he’s undertaken forCobra Kai’sfinal season. Granted, the continuation of the Sekai Taikai is no longer a guarantee after Kwon’s death, but if it does carry on, there’s no question who will hold the advantage. The Iron Dragons are easily in the best position to win. His male and female captains are accomplished fighters, with Axel in particular being someone any ofCobra Kai’steenage fighters would be hard-pressed to beat, as both Robby and Miguel seemed unable to beat him during the brawl.
