The series has high viewership on both YouTube and Netflix and has received critical acclaim for its writing, performances, particularly that of Zabka, action sequences, and character development.

What is the buzz around 'Cobra Kai' Season 5?

The actor, Ralph Macchio told Collider in January 2022, “The creators find ways to take that story and let it evolve and find backstories for characters who might have been thinly written. There is a larger-than-life element to Cobra Kai, the perspective of Daniel as an adult, now we are adding other stakes and elements about his own kids and students. It is remarkable that what I would call the shortcomings of the original franchise are now bearing fruit 36 years later.”

'Cobra Kai's' official page posted a picture of Jacob Bertrand and Inaki Godoy on Instagram and captioned it, "One Piece superfan Jacob Bertrand gets a dream set visit with Luffy himself, Inaki Godoy!"
