Summary
Warning : spoiler for Cobra Kai season 6 part 1
AfterCobra Kaiseason 6 part 1 , Mike Barnes vs. Terry Silver stands out as theKarate Kidlegacy fighting I necessitate to see more than any other . To me , one ofCobra Kai’sbest decisiveness was to bestow in otherKarate Kidvillains away from Johnny , permit new conflict and rivalries between old favourite to unfold . Taking this direction has allowed us to see battle between characters who never meet or were previously on the same side inThe Karate Kidmovies .
To this end , Cobra Kaihas treated us to some exciting Modern match-up over the twelvemonth , with Daniel vs. Terry Silver , Mike Barnes vs. Chozen , and Chozen vs. Silver being among the best . I was glad to seeCobra Kaiseason 6 carry on this approach by pittingJohnny Lawrence against Mike Barnes . And with there being ten episodes left inCobra Kai’sfinal season , I ’ll be surprised if at least one more of these does n’t happen . As for what it will mean , I ’m go for it will be a direct follow - up to what happen between Johnny and the " Bad Boy of Karate . "
Why Mike Barnes vs. Terry Silver Needs To Happen In Cobra Kai Season 6
Terry Silver Ruined Mike Barnes' Life
AfterCobra Kaiseason 5 ’s conclusion , I render Mike Barnes ' theatrical role in the full-grown fight to be the show ’s resoluteness to his issues with Terry Silver . I was n’t sure if Silver would come back , or if Barnes would , for that thing . But I ’m convince both should , and that a fight between them is whereCobra Kaineeds to take Mike Barnes ' story if it continues any further . time of year 6 used Silver burning down Barnes ' furniture store to revive the character ’s darker impulses , and demonstrate that it ’s behind his current emotional state , which is great storytelling potential time of year 6 can crop with .
While Mike Barnes did have a hand in Terry Silver ’s defeat , his contribution was admittedly small , look at Barnes was unconscious for most of the fight and never receive to fight down Silver personally .
WhenCobra Kaioriginally brought back Mike Barnes , the caliber that made him a villain inThe Karate Kid Part IIIwere mostly absent . This was n’t necessarily a job , as his variety in attitude demonstrated his growth as a character over a 30 - year catamenia . But Silver ’s actions marked a monolithic black eye for him , presenting an interesting dimension to Mike Barnes that ’s not been on display since the 1980s . Since Terry Silver was the catalyst for all this , watch Mike Barnes work out his frustration against Silver is precisely what I need to see next for his fictional character .

Why Mike Barnes Would Probably Beat Terry Silver
Mike Barnes Woudn’t Have Lost So Badly To Daniel
As two of thebest fighters inThe Karate Kidfranchise , Barnes and Silver have what it claim to deliver one of the time of year ’s peachy battle scenes . Both are passing skilled , and the intensity Sean Kanan ’s Barnes would inevitably bring to the confrontation would only complement that . What ’s more , I ’m confident it ’ll have a satisfying ending , asI require Mike Barnes to winand in doing so , perhaps witness a way to move on with his life and get back to where he was before Daniel and Silver brought karate back into his life .
Of course , Terry Silver has the potential to make this one interesting . He gave Chozen a tough scrap , and has had other impressive moments . But Mike Barnes , in my opinion , is an even proficient fighter . After all , his reputation as a former national champion in karate speaks for itself . He ’s not unvanquishable , of class , but give his temper , natural talent , and ferocity , I ca n’t imagine a scenario where Mike Barnes lose a one - on - one - scrap as decisively as Terry Silver didwhen he was beaten by Daniel LaRusso in theCobra Kaiseason 5 conclusion .
How A Mike Barnes vs. Terry Silver Fight Could Happen
If Terry Silver Gets His Charges Dropped, He Could Return To Cause Trouble
By emphasizing that the impingement Terry Silver had on Mike Barnes still lingers inCobra Kaiseason 6 part 1 , the show has already taken one footfall toward a potential fight between the twoKarate Kid Part IIIvillains . However , its frame-up for such a fight never goes beyond that . That could change , though , if Silver becomes a threat again .
Daniel downplayed that possibility to Amanda in theCobra Kaiseason 6 premiere , channelise out that Silver has no one to fight for him . But this call seems to overlook the fact that Silver paid Barnes to push for him in the past . There ’s no reason why Silver could n’t ingeminate this scheme with someone else . That could trigger a fight with Mike Barnes , think that the latter is clearly still in mite withDaniel and Johnny ’s dojo . If the two pauperism assist with Silver , I ’m sure Mike Barnes wo n’t go down an opportunity for revenge .
