Their intentions were good, even though they had different methods and everything else.
And that’s really how season 3 kicks off.
First and foremost, Robby is missing.

So that’s an important driving force [for Daniel].
We always talk about, you know, the Ross and Rachels of our show.
It informs him in a different way than you would expect.
Daniel goes to Japan on business related to his car dealership?Yes.
And he takes a shot to get to Japan and talk to some of the import companies.
While he’s there, another [idea] gets him to puddle-jump over to the Island of Okinawa.
He doesn’t even know what he’s seeking.
And maybe there’d be an answer.
That’s something I’ve been asking for from very early on in making this show.
So we were always looking for that, and in season 3, we get that.
It’s a nice balance.
There you go I used the wordbalance, because I have to.
We’re talking about theKarate Kiduniverse.
Fans really want Johnny and Daniel to work together to defeat Kreese this season.
What can you tease about that?Therein lies our Ross and Rachel thing that I mentioned earlier.
It’s challenging to do.
Yuji mentioned that you guys did extra prep for your fight scenes.Yeah.
If I can get an extra day to rehearse, I’ll take it.
Everything just takes a lot longer.
It’s a lot of stretching, a lot of Advil.
Cobra Kai season 3 premieres in January on Netflix
