Warning: SPOILERS for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2If Hilary Swank appears inCobra Kaias Julie Pierce, she can be the hero who saves Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) from his doubts about Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita).

Miyagi helped the orphaned Julie cope with her anger and honed her natural skills with Miyagi-Do karate.The Next Karate Kidwas Julie’s lone canonical appearance, and Academy Award winner Hilary Swank has been long demanded to joinCobra Kai.LaRusso’s fears about Miyagi may be Julie-san’s cue to meet Daniel-san.
Hilary Swank’s Julie Pierce Can Save Daniel From Doubting Miyagi In Cobra Kai Season 6
Maybe Julie-san Knew Miyagi Better Than Daniel-san Did
Cobra Kaiseason 6, part 2 didn’t resolve any of Daniel LaRusso’s questions about Mr. Miyagi’s past life, and there seems to be no way for him to get the answers he needs. ButJulie Pierce could have Daniel’s answers if she appears inCobra Kai.After all, Julie knew Miyagi too, and she had different experiences with her sensei than Daniel did. Julie’s grandfather knew Miyagi in the World War II years thatCobra Kai has made controversial and perhaps Julie’s family connection to Miyagi has the crucial information Daniel lacks.
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 Cast & Character Guide
Cobra Kai season 6 sees the main crew head to Barcelona for the Sekai Taikai, where they face off against a new bunch of fighters (& their actors).
Julie Pierce could even potentially resolve the issue of Mr. Miyagi’s real name. Daniel-san knows his sensei as Nariyosh Miyagi, the name on his grave, but Julie-san met him as Keisuke Miyagi inThe Next Karate Kid.It stands to reason that Julie and Mr. Miyagi stayed in touchor even saw each other in the years betweenThe Next Karate Kidand Mr. Miyagi’s death. Julie appearing in thefinal 5 episodes ofCobra Kaicould be an ingenious way to cross over the twoKarate Kidmovie leads so that Julie-san unlocks all of the mysteries tormenting Daniel-san about Mr. Miyagi.
If Hilary Swank Appears In Cobra Kai, Saving Her For The End Is Smart
Cobra Kai Could End With One Last Big Karate Kid Crossover
SinceCobra Kaibegan, fans ofThe Karate Kidhave wondered if and when Hilary Swank would reprise Julie Pierce. The Oscar winner has stated she is willing, but it hasn’t happened yet. Not only isCobra Kai season 6, part 3 the last chance for Julie Pierce to join Netflix’s hit series, butCobra Kaihas crafted an ideal reason for Julie to appear by generating doubt about Mr. Miyagi’s past. Further,Cobra Kaiseason 6 is addressing discrepancies about Mr. Miyagi’s history fromThe Karate Kidmovies, and it paves the way for Julie to be the answer to the burning questions about Miyagi.
Daniel-san and Julie-san sharing the screen would be the moment Cobra Kai has built toward for six seasons.
If Hilary Swank does appear inCobra Kaiseason 6, part 3,Julie Pierce finally meeting Daniel LaRusso would be a monumental way forCobra Kaito bow out. Daniel-san and Julie-san sharing the screen would be the momentCobra Kaihas built toward for six seasons, paying off the creators' devotion to the Miyagiverse and unifying the first fourKarate Kidmovies before Ralph Macchio appears as LaRusso inKarate Kid: Legends. Saving Hilary Swank as Julie Pierce until the end would be an unforgettable way forCobra Kaito have a grand finale and honor the legacy of Mr. Miyagi.
