Synopsis: Two former high-school karate rivals start their own dojos, each taking in teens who are social outcasts.

People say Johnny has tried with Robby, and I’m like... Where? Really.. Where? Because let’s go back to take a look at their interactions through out the show.
- The school calls Johnny because they can’t get a hold of Shannon, and tell him that Robby was caught with drugs. Johnny just lectures him when he wasn’t there for 16 years. Plus it was the school that had to call him.
- The school again has to call Johnny, letting him know his son hasn’t been there. He goes to lecture him once more, and insults his mother. Albeit a very flawed and selfish parent herself, but she’s there? And look you as a parent never insult their other parent. 
- Robby does hear his dad wants him to move in from Shannon [after Shannon called Johnny out at the bar he just gave up]. This makes Robby hopeful, and he seeks Johnny out only to see Johnny and Miguel bonding. 
- We get a brief scene in 1x09 when Daniel unknowing of who Robby really is introduces him to Johnny which is when Johnny shoves Daniel and Robby defends him, once more Johnny easily dips out.
- The All Valley Johnny has instilled it into these kids that they must win at all costs. No mercy. It’s when he sees Robby injured that his mistakes are crawling back to him from TKK. He tries to tell Miguel to cool it and take it easy on Robby but this is after really instilling and teaching that “No mercy. Win at all costs.” rule. Johnny’s teachings led to this, and it’s only that it happened to his son that he realizes the error of his ways. Yet really still did nothing. 
- In season 2 he sees Daniel and Robby at the hardware store, and talks to Robby basically saying there are better ways to get back at him than hanging with a “prick like Daniel”. Like once more insulting the only sort of parental figure in his life.
- He goes to Robby’s in 2x05 not on his own volition but with Kreese’s advice to bring Robby to Cobra Kai and away from Miyagi-Do. He learns Robby has been staying with the Larusso’s, and instead of trying to see his son he just gets drunk and deals with it. 
- There is no interaction until 2x09-2x10 where Johnny semi-tries when Robby comes to him with a drunk Sam. After the blow up with Daniel [I love Daniel but he did fuck up here, lol]. He makes a small effort, and it looks like things can be mended? Or on the way to. Then the school fight happens.
- Season 3 he isn’t the one looking for Robby until Daniel comes to him to try and find him, and instantly gives up after a blow up with Daniel.
- He promises to see Robby but fails to for Miguel.
- in 3x04 when he tries he sees Robby has a black eye, and instead of being concerned for his safety he instantly thinks he picked a fight because of the school fight. Both of which he doesn’t have facts on, and throws it in his face about Miguel being in the hospital because of him. Which was an accident. He gives up again.
- He briefly tries in 3x08 but gives up again.
- In 3x10 he sees Robby there, and tries to warn him about Kreese but again it’s like he’s insulting the only person who is there for him in that moment. Now he’s 100% right about Kreese, but still. He doesn’t try and fight him, but still manages to hurt him. Which I think is a metaphor for their relationship. He doesn’t have to put in effort for things to go badly. He doesn’t try at the end to get Robby to come with him. Knowing how dangerous Kreese is, and I’m sorry but if that were Miguel you know he’d be fighting tooth and nail to get him out.
- In season 4 Robby goes to him once to warn him about Hawk, and he doesn’t take this advice seriously, and when things get heated he basically tells him to piss off.
So no I dn’t see Johnny as really trying because he gives up so easily. We all point out Daniel’s flaws, and how he needs to change. Fair. But so does Johnny. He needs to try with Robby. He’s the one who messed up, and it’s not his 17 year old sons fault to mend their broken relationship. Johnny needs to try and put in real effort.

fuck up our friendship━ eli moskowitz imagine
eli moskowitz x fem!reader
set after the party in 2x09, pretty wholesome with admitting feelings but also angst bc the reader is tryna be friends with both eli and demetri and it is NOT going well
Tumblr media
Once the police busted the party, Y/N knew she had to find Eli. The girl was a Miyagi-Do student, and she knew full well that Sam and Robby would not appreciate her going to find her oldest friend and Cobra Kai’s number one asshole, but the pair were having their own issues, so it was unlikely they would find out. Y/N and Eli had been friends since the girl moved to the Valley at the start of freshman year. She wasn’t exactly a loser as someone like Yasmine or Kyler would word it, and many people never understood why she signed away her high school popularity to be friends with the two biggest dorks in school-- Demetri and Eli-- but she wouldn’t have wanted anybody else. Demetri and Eli had been best friends since kindergarten, and the h/c slotted into the group perfectly. They may have had it pretty bad at school, but they had each other.
Then, two years later, at the start of their junior year, karate came back to the Valley. Whilst Y/N and Demetri had always been seemingly content with living their lives as losers, apparently Eli didn’t feel the same. It wasn’t the mohawk or the new name they particularly had a problem with, or his newfound popularity that bothered them. It was the way he went about getting it. Hawk was becoming the very person he had always hated. Both of his best friends knew this wasn’t the person he really was, but when Demetri had addressed this, Eli declared an all out war against him. So now Y/N was left as the middle-man, trying to care for both of her best friends and bring them back together without choosing a side. And neither of them made it easy.
Tonight, at Moon’s party, Y/N had been so hopeful. The two sat talking about Doctor Who whilst the girl stood beside Robby and Sam, sipping her drink and pretending she wasn’t listening in to what Demetri and Eli were talking about. She allowed herself to get distracted for one moment to talk with Robby about skateboarding and suddenly, Eli was pouring his drink all over Demetri’s head. With a shameful sigh, Y/N walked over to the two, handing paper towels to the dark haired boy and raising her eyebrows at Eli. The red haired boy gave her a sheepish, apologetic smile before wandering off to join the other Cobras.
In all fairness, Hawk had it coming when Demetri stood up on that stage with the mic in his hand, but the brown eyed boy didn’t need to take it that far. Watching from where she stood with the other Miyagi-Dos, her e/c eyes flitted between Eli and Demetri. It pained the girl to watch her two best friends fight, but it hurt more knowing she was watching her best friend and the boy she was in love with attempt to tear each other’s heads off. Y/N had developed the biggest crush on Eli in their sophomore year, and everybody knew it except the boy in question. Demetri knew it, too, which was why initially he was so hesitant to launch an attack against his best friend, no matter how much he deserved it. But that night, he hadn’t held back.
Once the cops pulled up outside, everything descended into chaos. Her eyes met with Demetri’s, which were filled with remorse, and he nodded at her. “Go find him. Make sure he’s okay.” Y/N offered the boy a small smile in return. She knew Demetri still cared for Eli, and Eli still cared for Demetri. It was just Hawk who appeared not to. Rushing out the house so as not to get caught by the police, the h/c found Eli walking out the back of the house alone. The rest of the Cobras weren’t around, which reassured Y/N, but only slightly. “Eli!” She called, causing his head to swing around, his blue eyes catching hers. “What do you want? Come to humiliate me even more?” “Eli,’ The girl breathed in response, sounding exasperated as she caught up to him. “You know I wouldn’t do that.” “I didn’t think Demetri would, either,” He responded, allowing Y/N to see how hurt he really was. “And I didn’t think you would attack him when we were at the mall the other day. Or pour beer on his head.” Eli let out a sigh-- he was Eli now he was around Y/N. She was the only person he trusted enough to let his newfound guard down around.
“I’ve told you this before, Y/N,” The red haired boy said with a sigh. “Demetri chose his side. He went against us. Against Cobra Kai.” “I don’t need to hear it again, Eli,” The h/c haired girl huffed. “I’m just here to make sure you’re okay. Cobra Kai or not, you’re my best friend. I care about you, and so does Demetri.” “Whatever,” The boy exhaled, but he still allowed Y/N to walk the rest of the way home with him, and even come in when he opened the door and headed inside. “Mom isn’t home,” Eli spoke, closing the door and flicking off his shoes, “She’s on night shift tonight.” “Good job I’m here then,” Y/N nodded, knowing how much the blue eyed boy hated being alone. Eli didn’t say anything in response, just smiled smally.
Any alcohol consumed at the party that evening had begun to wear off, as Eli and Y/N sat on the couch in the front room. The silence was awkward for the first few moments; it always was now that there was a clear divide pushing the two apart, but both of them more than anything wanted to stay close. As much as Y/N’s crush on Eli was clear as day (to everyone other than him), the boy’s reciprocated feelings were much better hidden, especially with his new Hawk facade. However, Cobra Kai had thrown in the spanner in the works, and any chance the boy may have had with his best friend was seemingly gone. Yet, every few nights the girl would still come over and spend time with Eli, alternating the time she used to spend with both her best friends.
Eventually, the awkwardness faded, and the two would begin to speak about anything and everything they hadn’t caught up on, considering they had spent most of the summer apart at their separate dojos. An hour or so past, taking the time up to midnight, before Eli invited Y/N to stay the night like she had many times before. The h/c hastily agreed, and followed Eli upstairs to his bedroom, yawning quietly due to exhaustion. Once they made it up, her e/c eyes widened. “What the fuck happened in here?” The once blue walls, littered with posters, were now red and bare. A punching bag stood where a fake TARDIS used to be, and there wasn’t a funko pop in sight, which was not at all like Eli Moskowitz. The bedsheets were just plain black, rather than Star Wars themed, but when the h/c craned her neck, there were still small, glow-in-the-dark stars littered across the ceiling. “I redecorated,” Was all Eli said, flopping down on his bed.
Y/N flopped down beside him. “I think I preferred the Doctor Who merch,” The girl admitted honestly, causing Eli to look at her with wide eyes. “Did you know the new Doctor was female?” “Of course,” The h/c smiled, “Me and Demetri still watch every Friday night.” At the mention of this, Eli’s face fell, causing Y/N to frown. “You know he didn’t really want to hurt you tonight,” The girl sighed, attempting to lock eyes with Eli who was staring down at his fidgeting fingers. “It was a shitty thing to do, but you’ve both done shitty things to each other.” She continued her speech, becoming more and more passionate as she spilled her frustration out to Eli: “Do you know how hard it is for me to watch my two best friends fight with each other? Over something as petty as a fucking karate dojo! I know that I can’t stop you two fighting and the best I can do is try and maintain the middle ground, because the last thing I want to do is choose between my best friend and the others at Miyagi-Do, and the boy I’ve had feelings for since forever.”
Y/N’s voice began to fade out as she calmed down, but Eli was still staring at her, seemingly in shock. Noticing how panicked the boy looked, the girl’s face softened. “I’m sorry for yelling, Eli, I-” “You said you had feelings for me.” His voice was deadpan, showing no emotions as his blue eyes bore into Y/N. The girl’s mouth opened and closed in shock. “I- Maybe I said that. Accidentally. Maybe-” “You have feelings for me?” Eli spoke again, and for a second, he sounded like Eli, like the person he was before all this karate shit took over. With a sigh, the girl nodded. “Congratulations. You’re officially the last person to know.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” The boy asked, his eyes wide. “I don’t know,” The girl shrugged. “Guess I didn’t wanna fuck up our friendship, but I guess karate’s doing that for us.” Y/N’s e/c eyes chose to rest on the bed sheets beneath her instead of on Eli as he responded. “Well, what if I want to fuck up our friendship?” At this comment, however, the girl’s eyes shot up, just in time for Eli to place his hand on her chin and placed his lips against hers.
She was shocked at first, but Y/N soon kissed back, placing her hands on the boy’s face to pull him closer. The girl felt him smile into the kiss as he rolled himself closer, wrapping a hand round her waist to draw her in. “I’ll fuck up our friendship a hundred times over if it means I can do that again,” Y/N smiled, resting her forehead against his. Eli kissed her once again, softly, before saying: “For the record, I like you, too. I’m surprised Demetri didn’t tell you.” “That rat!” Y/N exclaimed, though she wasn’t really annoyed. “I’m going to kill him!” “Right now?” Eli asked, quirking his eyebrow with a cocky smirk. “Hm, maybe not,” The girl grinned, biting her lip and pulling the boy closer. “I think I’ll just stay here and kiss you.”

Y’know, what I just realized? The triangle between Sam, Miguel, & Tory in CK S2, mirrored the OG triangle between Johnny, Ali, & Daniel… only Sam was in Johnny’s role & Tory was actually in Daniel’s! Hear me out, now, Sam dates Miguel first in CK S1, before Tory was ever introduced, then they had a very messy breakup (like Johnny & Ali). Then, in S2, Tory meets Miguel (before she even meets Sam), and flirts with Miguel, which I’m pretty sure was the same way Daniel met Ali before he met Johnny (it’s been a while since I watched the OG Karate Kid, so going by memory, correct me if I’m remembering wrong). Then, when Sam & Tory meet, Sam is the one who starts their rivalry at (at the country club), like Johnny started his with Daniel. Then, in 2x09, Sam is the one who (in a way) shows that she still has feelings for Miguel, while he’s dating Tory (like Johnny did with Ali, while she was with Daniel).
Also, Sam comes from a wealthy family (like Johnny did in the OG Karate Kid), while Tory comes from a financially struggling family (like Daniel did in the OG Karate Kid).
The only thing that separates these direct parallels is that Sam believes and is trained in Miyagi-Do, while Tory believes in and is trained in Cobra Kai. Which is really intriguing, to me, because it adds credence to the idea that — if Sam had been trained in Cobra Kai and/or dealt with all the crap Tory has, she could have been a lot more like (if not worse than) Johnny and Tory. While if Tory could have been trained in Miyagi-Do or raised by someone like Daniel, she could just have easily been as balanced as Sam and her OG Karate Kid father. Would love your thoughts on this!
I will always maintain that Sam is very much like Johnny in terms of fighting. She tries to internalize the Miyagi-Do teachings, but her instinct is to fight aggressively. It’s why I think she would really benefit from Johnny teaching her, learning to harness that rage instead of keeping it trapped inside! If she keeps it trapped, it’ll just turn inward, towards herself. That probably didn’t help Sam’s mental state in S3 :(
Then again, Daniel’s first instinct is ALSO to fight, and HE poorly suppresses that...so maybe Sam is just like both of them 😂 but Johnny is best suited to teaching her, because he doesn’t try to conceal what he’s feeling. Say whatever else you will about Johnny, he’s blunt and by S3, he’s emotionally honest, and that’s about as emotionally healthy as you can get.
Tory...well, she’s also like Johnny. Her first instinct is also to fight aggressively, and I think she’d be even MORE resistant to Miyagi-Do teachings than Sam (oh she’d learn it, and it would help her, but not without a struggle, because she sees offense as her Only Option Ever, which I can’t blame her for, given her life).
So it’s an interesting parallel to draw for sure, but honestly, I think Miguel and Robby parallel Johnny and Daniel much more equally than Sam and Tory do. Though I also resent the Miguel/Robby rivalry being boiled down to love interests, but then again, I feel the same way about the Sam/Tory rivalry. It’s more complicated than that! I definitely think the classism inherent in the Daniel/Johnny rivalry is more clearly seen in the Sam/Tory rivalry, but in terms of narrative parallels...Sam more closely parallels Daniel (with a number of parallels to Johnny), while Tory parallels Johnny A LOT.

Cobra Kai parallels: [2x09]/[3x08]
There was something about the scene in "The Good, the Bad, and the Badass" (right) where Robby catches Sam and Miguel play-sparring in the Miyagi-Do backyard, and looking like they're about to kiss, that seemed eerily familiar to me. So I did a check and realized that we're meant to harken back to "Pulpo," when it's revealed that Tory saw Miguel kissing Sam at Moon's party. Notice how the shot is framed similarly so that we see Robby in the center of the shot, just like Tory, and once again, the music takes on a more ominous tone when his presence is revealed.
