He must face his previous adversary Johnny Lawrence, who seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai karate dojo.
According to Netflix's official synopsis, Season 3 “finds everyone shaken by the aftermath of a brutal school fight between their dojo that left Miguel in dire condition. While Daniel seeks answers in his past and Johnny seeks redemption, Chris continues to manipulate his students through domination. The soul of the Valley is at stake, and the fate of every student and sensei hangs in the balance. "
