Cobra Kai's intense rivalry between Daniel and Johnny spills over to a new generation with Miguel and Robby's conflict. Another brewing tension arises with the arrival of Tory Nichols, who challenges Samantha LaRusso's dominance. Their clashing personalities, romantic entanglements, and vastly different backgrounds fuel a heated animosity that simmers throughout six seasons. Despite occasional moments of understanding, Sam and Tory's competitive spirit remains a constant driving force in the series.
When Cobra Kai first started out, the show focused on the age-old rivalry between Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Larence . Their built-up resentment was then mirrored by Miguel and Robbie's on-screen fighting throughout season 1 and beyond. But, there was another serious antagonism about to brew when a new character entered the scene to challenge a previously unchallenged Samantha LaRusso .
9 The Alleyway Push and Shove From Season 5, Episode 9, "Survivors" Tory and Sam had spent most of season 5 avoiding each other. Sam was still feeling dejected after losing the All Valley finals, and Tory was deep in the Cobra Kai machine. But, as Tory started to see the corruption within the dojo, and especially how it was affecting the previously sensitive Kenny , she had a change of heart. She decided to tell Sam that their All Valley was rigged, but Sam did not take that very well.
7 The First Sekai Taikai Meet From Season 6, Episode 6, "Benvinguts a Barcelona" The second part of season 6 sees both Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do competing in the prestigious martial artist Sekai Taikai tournament in Spain. Tory defected to Cobra Kai as she dealt with her mother's death and chose to channel her anger through their style of fighting. Sam was the chosen female captain of Miyagi-Do and the rules were slightly different than at previous tournaments.
In typical Johnny Lawrence style, he reaches into the 1980s archive for inspiration, organizing a girls' night complete with a Ouija board and pillow fight. As the night progresses, the two former rivals finally have a real breakthrough as they open up to each other and find true common ground. This allows them to stop holding back on the mat, and they proceed to fight it out in style in a training session at Miyagi-Do.
The two fight with purpose and anger, as they exchange furious stares and palm strikes. Tory wants to prove she is a better fighter, while Sam wants to defend her honor and her home. As the completely illegal free-for-all wages on throughout the mansion, Sam and Tory find themselves fighting in the dojo, ready for the final phase of their fight. Just as Sam admits she's no longer afraid of Tory, the boys barge in and break it up, the sense of unfinished business lingering in the air.
