one of my favourite things about cobra kai is the show’s commitment to the colour-coding of various characters’ clothes, and how deeply it relates to their personal journeys!!! and I’m delighted to find season 5 will be no exception!
Tumblr media
^ like this group shot! daniel and chozen in traditional blue, representing the miyagi teachings. johnny in neutral black with red accents that hint to his old cobra kai tendencies. miguel in purple, a colour which has always been the show’s way of showing a character in flux between the two dojos. sam in indigo, meaning she’s still miyagi-do but edgy. robby in orange, meaning he’s still cobra kai but not completely. amazing.
Tumblr media
^ and here! miguel in purple, again, and who do i spy behind him....... why yes! it’s our fave edgelord robby, wearing a truly criminal blend of colours fashion-wise, but in terms of illuminating his mental state as torn between cobra kai and miyagi-do? exceptional! 
Tumblr media
^ above! back to the status quo with this one, as anthony is now fully a miyagi-do convert in blue, while kenny is still firmly rooted with cobra kai in red. a new johnny and daniel rivalry arising, it looks like! and oh god is that another water prank heralding years of enmity
Tumblr media
^ marriage problems! this one has me INTRIGUED. daniel in his traditional blue, looking perturbed as usual, while amanda is snapping at daniel and in cobra kai-esque red...... what does it all mean.....
Tumblr media
^ and lastly, a shot which should make everyone nervous..... daniel in muted red, with a busted eye. I’m betting there was a scuffle with terry that went badly, so here daniel is calling in the big guns - namely, chozen AND johnny as back up. things are getting dark and it is exciting. (that was me channeling king shit terry. WHO incidentally, is seen most regularly in all black. very indicative of his soul.)
SO! robby and miguel are going through it, samantha is settling into a healthy mix of miyagi-do and cobra kai, anthony is following in daniel’s footsteps a bit too literally, daniel’s getting his hands dirty, amanda might straight kill a guy, and johnny is still comfy in red. I have another theory about chozen’s yellow/green combos meaning more for his character’s perspective (and mayhaps hawk?), but we’ll have to see the season first!
I can’t wait for september! i hope terry silver slips on a banana
