I had this thought, Daniel went through what Mike is currently going through, a depression after nearly losing his family after his livelihood got put in jeopardy so maybe Daniel can be there for him emotionally during the transitionary period of regaining favor with his family. And to add another layer, Mike Barnes could be Lia Cabrera's Dad as a means to reintroduce her to the show, and to converge Kenny/Anthony's rival story have the love interest with an expanded role. Plus, Mike Barnes could have the opportunity to pay the good given to him forward to Kenny, because like him, he was also a lost and wayward teen. He could provide Kenny with some direction to bring him balance, for him it was was crafting, but for Kenny, it might be something else. Reigniting Kenny's love for creative hobbies like Dancing and games which Anthony might be able to use as a means to bond/compete over. (Random Kenny thought, his Dad is a Soldier, what if following in his footsteps, joins an ROTC lke program leading to Kenny getting involved with something similar to Alpha Elite from the Next Karate Kid or at least a door way to bring any characters from that movie in)

One former Cobra Kai had to be the matured adult or else things would have gotten a little monotonous. Besides, adding Kim Da-Eun gave a deeper insight into the origins of Cobra Kai, which we never saw before, and I think it was a very interesting storyline.

And not that Daniel is so good in fighting, but if he joined the raid they might have won easily. Chozen wouldn't get to a near death situation, and Johnny wouldn't be beaten to death because Daniel would have been there for helping him. Mike is fully redeemed by- Apologizing to Daniel and helping him, and in the raid which led by him he saved the lives of both Johnny and Chozen. I love it! I think he would further help the group. And Daniel might even give big orders of furnitures who worth big money, in order to help Mike earn money.

What I love is that three ppl who terrorised Daniel and tried to kill Daniel in the past. Are fighting for Daniel in the present. Johnny could've killed Daniel when he made Daniel flip of his bike down the hill. Chozen wanted to fight Daniel to the death. And used Daniels then girlfriend Kumiko to force Daniel to fight. Mike would've tossed Daniel and Jessica back down if Daniel refused to sign the tournament paper. That's what I've always believed. My favorite thing about Cobra Kai is they make ppl who grew up with the franchise see the legacy characters the bad guys in a new light. Even making us feel sympathy for Kreese. Even turning Daniel into a D bag to start the show. He eventually turned back into the Daniel we all know and love. Also slipping Daniel into the Mr. Miyagi role.

Cobra Kai is a fan service and nostalgia fest, a love letter to the originals and its fans. I'm grateful for what they've done. Great written and directed series, that even attacks pc nonsense, has good action drama and humour, and emphasises family and the need of a good strong leading husband and father and its toxic negative effects if there isn't one around.

I was glad that Mike, like Chozen, did reform, and was a good guy now too. That being even if I wouldn't have minded him being a villain at first though. I do wish he got more screen time in Season 5, considering you almost forgot he was a part of it until he came back at the very end, during the final episode, while also barely being seen during the battle with Terry Silver's fellow sensei's, who Johnny virtually had to take on alone. But I'm sure he'll soon get a bigger role like Chozen eventually did in the future. That being even if whatever may happen to the Cobra Kai dojo is totally up in the air, along with the fates of both Kreese, and Silver for that matter too.

IKR?? But you know passive little Danny though. Mike would've beaten Johnny and Dan, but not Chozen who's a master. Dan and John were only 2 time champs and only in the Valley. Mike came from a background in karate and was a seasoned amateur in the international rankings. That's one step from world titles and the olymics. That dude was skilled fast strong and aggressive in his prime! Lawrence and LaRousso ain't shit compared to Barnes. But maybe with the pressure points Chozen taught, Daniel would stand a chance, maybe, if he didn't freeze and kept his cool and used focused strategy. But not toe to toe. Also another thing that distinguishes Chozen from the rest is that they are learning American styled karate but Chozen knows Japanese style.. where it came from, so there'd be a difference. Japanese is better bc it's a tradition culture and lifestyle. American is just a sport with scoring rules restrictions and penalties, so actually watered down a bit for tournaments. But that's not uncommon with martial arts in the West or East either. You have to be wary. In a real street fight or dangerous attack, most styles fail. Only if you combined wrestling judo jujitsu and kickboxing, which the mma does, that's a different story. You'd be bad ass!

It's more the reason why making animation and movies are tougher today than it was back then. Mainly, due to back then, you were on one or two projects. While today, some celebrities have multiple contracts and other projects to be on. Which is why I'd understand if certain characters aren't in a series and so on. That being said, I did like Mike's relevance not just as fan-service but also that his character was a more "condensed" version of Daniel's arc in S5. Where we actually see Daniel's life spiral downward, Mike's life spiraled down after his furniture store burned down. Instead of having us watch the "same downward spiral", we skip ahead to the part where Mike hijacks their limo. I thought it was a funny twist because I thought it was Silver who hired someone to sabotage Dan, Cho, and Joh after their dojo successfully qualified for the Seikai Taikai. Just to turn out that it was Mike going on a revenge streak until Daniel defused it and told him that it was Silver's doing. Which, inadvertently, caused Mike to turn this into a "Karate Kid's Dude's Night Out" adventure. Seeing three former rivals team up against Terry Silver was definitely fan-service and most of us imagined them as their "younger counterparts" while they confronted Silver before the fight started. Sadly, that was the part I hoped Mike would participate longer in the fight. I also understand that Sean's prior injuries may have prevent him from doing longer fight scenes. It sucks, though. I really would have liked Mike take down some more of the top Senseis before being knocked out. I do like the direction that Terry Silver was mainly the real villain to Daniel Larusso and Miyagi-Do. Having him fight Chozen and Daniel was more fitting. Especially, given with how S5 further fleshed out Chozen while paralleling him with Silver earlier on. Funny enough, this also shows Silver and Kreese's "surface-level" understanding of Miyagi-Do and why they lose to it. To them, they only see Miyagi-Do as this "defense only" form of Karate. Makes sense when Miyagi living a peaceful life trains Daniel to not only defend for himself, but, for others. While, under Sato, Chozen was taught both the offensive and defensive techniques of the Miyagi-Do. Because Miyagi himself showed mercy and used his abilities to humble his opponents, Silver and Kreese continue to misunderstand that Miyagi-Do is a lot deadlier than they thought until Silver was able to witness the "true version" through Chozen fighting. Silver still misunderstands this when mentioning how "Chozen is a real warrior" when, in fact, Chozen was trained in the true form of it. Chozen has demonstrated firsthand to Silver that he can kill you at any point when he took down the other Senseis. Silver should've realized that Miyagi himself has completely shown him and Kreese mercy those 30 years ago. Chozen being well-aware that he will kill when need be. I find it more poetic that Silver is defeated by two Miyagi-Do martial artist. I just always saw Silver as Daniel's "real" villain. Then, to be defeated by his own Quicksilver method. Not only did Daniel give Silver the middle finger by doing the Kata during the tournament in KK3, he defeats Silver with the Crane Kicked that Silver mocked 30 years ago as well. If Cobra Kai is going to end, the least I would think is that it would have to be a final showdown between Johnny Lawrence and John Kreese. Mainly in that full circle way. After all, Johnny rebuilt Cobra Kai and it's fitting if he ends it by defeating the man that taught him it. There's also Kim. I think it's fitting if Mike assists as a dojo sensei, I find it fitting if he helps out the Eagle Fang students. I would find it "balancing", since Chozen helps teach more Miyagi-Do methods. My only issue with Eagle Fang is that there's not much of a defining stance with it, or "fine tuning". For example, some of the other students have a "personality" to their take. Like when Eli/Hawk takes a stance, he's more of a combination Miyagi and Cobra Kai. Meanwhile, Demitri takes an open palm stance but utilize his legs and foot action more. One major thing I like when Sam fights in serious fights is that she'll "stance switch". I get there's not much time to develop these amongst all the characters. I just feel that I want more personality. Not gonna lie, I always cracked a smile whenever I see Mike raise his arms to that chest level as if he's his 1989 self again. It just feels like every time I see Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai characters fight, it got that "swing for the fences" feel. Unless you're either Tori, Kenny, or Miguel. If anything, I do like that Kenny was kind of like a corrupted Daniel Larusso. So far, I think Eagle Fang and Cobra Kai is more focused on just hitting the opponent and taking them out ASAP. I would feel that Mike could teach them how to off-balance their opponents with grapples and takedowns. Honestly, it's fitting for someone calling themselves "Eagles". If I was part of a dojo calling themselves "Eagles", I'd expect to learn some grabbing and takedown techniques. A "Snake" is more about striking and constricting movement. An "Eagle" can "grab and tear". Not sure why Johnny hasn't thought of that. I think Mike would benefit teaching stuff to the Eagle Fang students.

PLOT TWIST: Mike and Silver are in on it with each other. First Silver tells Daniel he is not the only one with friends from the past, knowing that he will go find Mike. Mike then bates them by tipping them off with “Terry’s Lawyer”. Terry blows up the fake furniture shop. Sliver then uses Mike to lure them to his house thats armed with his Cobras! Thus, Silver successfully tricking Daniel using Barns, the same way he did in Karate kid three. It of course backfires when the kids break in at the same time, which wasn’t part of the plan, but Mike Barns continues to be an undercover Cobra of Terry! Will be useful for Silver next season.

Now it makes more sense after Silver told Miyagi that his sensei is Kim Sun Young. If Chozen knew about the type of teacher that Master Kim was, then probably Miyagi already knew about his reputation as well and knew to be careful with Silver from the very beginning. There might've been history with Sato, Master Kim and Miyagi.

I anticipate that Season 6 would have Mike on his way to rebuilding his furniture store and relationship with his wife via the Rembrandt painting he took from Silver. With the extra money he has off the Rembrandt, Mike would gladly help Miyagi-Fang as a major sponsor/benefactor for their trip to The Sekai Taikai World Tournament (hopefully taking place outside of The Valley; Seoul, South Korea maybe?) in exchange for Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and the kids' assistance (manpower) in rebuilding his furniture store. "Karate's Bad Boy" would not be an official sensei for Miyagi-Fang but he can show Miguel, Robbie, Hawk, Demetri, Anthony, possibly Kenny, and the rest of the kids a thing or two about how utilizing and countering mind games is as vital as being physically strong and internally centered (basically, up their game in the trash talk department and stronghold their minds from other people's deceptions and said trash talk) which may give the gang a leg up when they get to The Sekai Taikai Tournament. Here is hoping that a bottle episode will come to fruition, with The Miyagi-Fang kids hanging out somewhere (the amusement park, maybe?) and solidifying relationships, bonds, and/or new romance whilst the OG "Karate Kid(s)" of Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, Mike, and Julie, along with Amanda, Carmen, Ali, Jessica, Mike's wife, and maybe Daniel's cousin Louie, enjoy each other's company at a Japanese Steakhouse, sharing stories about their respective pasts and celebrating the life of Mr. Miyagi, before their trip to the tournament

Barnes, Chozen, and Johnny throwing Silver an old fashion boot-party, while trash talking and laughing the whole time they do it.

Possibly because he needed to keep people down on the street it look like he mixing wrestling grappling with his karate and Mike is a heavy guy so he have way more force to his attacks compare to any sensei who are slim, fit and cardio base body but they aren't as thick as Barnes and this is why I say this is why Mike may not win in tournament since he look like a street fighter now and would do way more illegal stuff and DQ whiout rules and 1v1 unless you do dan/chanzo paralyzing pressure thing no one putting Barnes down with just force alone

I wouldn't mind seeing a theory video on what we could see if the rumors of Julie returning for S6 as one of the Miyagi-Fang senseis for the Sekei Tenkei tournament are true especially how her fusion style of Miyagi-Do Karate and Changsha could bring something new to the table for the students to learn, and possibly be a much needed game-changer as Kim and whoever she picks as her co-sensei and her students won't be ready to face a style that is a fusion of Miyagi-Do Karate and a Chinese Martial Art along with the possibility of Julie fighting Kim and how Johnny will react to Julie in particular her Miyagi-Do Karate/Changsha style and eventually befriend her. Somethings to the note the Cobra Kai writers did confirm two things concerning Julie the first being that she did meet and befriend Daniel at Mr. Miyagi's funeral prior to the start of the series, and that unlike Daniel and Johnny she actually kept up her martial arts training managing to balance it with her job as a Wildlife Vet that specializes in raptors/birds of prey. Also it should be emphasized that Julie's return is that one return that can be ruined if the creators listen to a certain toxic branch of the fanbase. Basically the very vocal toxic branch of the fanbase that makes it clear that they hated Next Karate Kid wants Julie to come back in a villainous role or antagonistic role because they believe it will redeem what they see as a "dumpster fire pile of garbage that doesn't deserve to be considered canon" and a "hated lead character with no character growth." despite the fact there are a lot of fans who liked NKK and would love to see the film be given the respect and credit it does deserve and it's characters actually be portrayed properly should they return for Cobra Kai S6.

Especially if you compare Chozen's fight with Silver against Johnny's and Daniel's (the first fight at least).

I am hoping that they don't do the usual changing of sides that Josh, John and Hayden have been traditionally known to pull through the series because I love his arc and his chemistry with Johnny and Daniel. However it could lead to Silver offering money to Mike to rebuild his furniture store in exchange for helping him train the Cobra Kai students for the big Tournament. Counter point to what I just said is Mike already knows and openly stated that Silver cannot be trusted so expect him to stay on the right side of the road. I hope at least.

If Mike comes back for season 6, I think it could be revealed that his original sensei was Colonel Dugan. I think Dugan may have been trained alongside Silver and Kreese, even if he wasn't involved directly with Cobra Kai. That could also potentially open the door for Julie Pierce to come in, if Kreese calls Dugan for help. After all, Kreese will need someone to run his dojo's considering he likely has a warrant for his arrest and we don't know of anyone else he could really call on for that role (except, perhaps, his old sensei's granddaughter Kim Da-Eun). Idk. I think it fits, even if it may be far fetched...

Mike Barnes is a loose canon and only cares about himself. The only reason he was fighting with Johnny, Chozen, and Daniel is because they shared a common enemy - Terry Silver. That doesn’t mean he is their ally. For next season, it might be cool to get him back on the national Karate scale with this tournament. He was a former national champion, so it would be a good fit for a final redemption.
