Before the premiere of Cobra Kai season 5, William Zabka surprisingly reveals the real villain of the universe. And it&#039;s not what you think.

&#8216;Cobra Kai&#8217; Actor William Zabka Reveals Who the Real Villain Is and It’s Not Who You Think

From the 1980s until the spinoff was created, The Karate Kid fans considered
Johnny Lawrence the villain of the karate universe. Thankfully, with Cobra Kai,
we learned that William Zabka, aka Johnny Lawrence, isn’t the real villain. We
also witnessed the other hidden sides of Danial LaRusso throughout the show. But
when the real devil, John Kreese re-entered the universe, instantly he became
the villain. However, William has another theory and he made a surprise reveal
about the real villain of the karate universe.

The spinoff show, Cobra Kai, [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/cobra-kai/]has
explained the backgrounds of The Karate Kid

It has given more depth to each character, through which we came to know about
Johnny’s actual condition. He has a troubled childhood and a messy family
environment. It made him an emotionally chaotic person. Whereas Daniel also had
a troublesome past, he had a good teacher like Mr. Miyagi

to guide him. Therefore, he turned out to be pretty well.

John Kreese didn’t really understand that the world is not a war zone. And
therefore, he unknowingly messed with the lives of others. However, he is not
the real villain as we see him as a changed man towards the end of season 4. So,
who is the real villain?


COBRA KAI SENSEI WILLIAM ZABKA EXPOSES THE REAL VILLAIN

The real villain is not from Cobra Kai but from The Karate Kid

In the first installment of The Karate Kid, Ali was Johnny’s

girlfriend. After their breakup, she befriended Daniel and became his
girlfriend. Zabka opens
[https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/william-zabka-real-villain-cobra-kai-not-john-kreese-daniel-larusso.html/]
up about the triangle and reveals that if she would have given him a chance to
win her back, Johnny might not have gone down the path that he took.

“She’s really the true villain of The Karate Kid in a way,” revealed Zabka
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-cobra-kai-star-william-zabka-says-he-puts-95-of-his-brain-to-sleep-to-attain-johnnys-caveman-mentality/]
jokingly. He added, “She turned against Johnny, for me. If she would’ve just
stuck with Johnny, stuck by his side, maybe he wouldn’t have gone down this
path. She jumped ship on me.” However, while saying this, William was totally
aware of teenage love and hormones. These dramatic feelings do not last, and he
was aware of it.

However, we see Ali coming back in season 3. We see the story from her point of
view. And we understand how their relationship with each other is intertwined.
She makes peace with Daniel and Johnny and tries to make them do the same with
each other as well. What is your take on this situation? Do you also think that
she is the real villain? Share your opinions with us in the comment box below.
