I understand that Tory has a hard life. But what bugs me is that so many people seem to think that justifies her behavior. As Sam said, "We all have sob stories. That doesn't give you the right to be a bully." There are plenty of people out there who are worse off than Tory is, that have managed to stay off the hate train. Also like the video says, the first time with Tory and Sam might have been Sam's fault, and Tory acted out of self defense, but all others, Tory initiated.

I dont think its people trying to justify it but more as understanding why she is the way she is. Look at kreese. He was an all around good guy prior to the military. He even had a serious relationship with betsy. Once the captain got his hooks into him and the incident at the pow camp, it really affected kreese in a major way. Its less trying to justify either of thier actions and more just understanding why they are the way they are.

Ok, I actually have a theory on S4 and how it should end: Cobra Kai creates a plan that can make the new Miyagi-Do/Eagle Fang dojo become weaker and send pain to Daniel and Johnny. One of these plans has the Cobra Kai students attack the strongest competitors, in order to make Daniel and Johnny look weaker. Their way of sending a message as well. One of their students, probably Chris, Mitch, or if we go the big angle, Eli/Hawk gets severely injured and can't compete. Tory was the one who did it. But after injuring one of these guys, she gets caught by the cops, is arrested, and Tory is banned from the competition. Sam and the others visits the student at the hospital and while there, she runs into a sick lady that happens to be next door, and has a little chat, and then leaves. It turns out that the lady was Tory's mom. She needed more treatment so she was immediately rush to the hospital and is going to have operation. Sam doesn't learn about this until later. NOW, if we're going to throw in the other theory that either Kreese, Terry Silver, or Mike Barnes is related to Tory, now that will be a turn for Tory (if Silver or Barnes returns in S4). Because how would Tory feel that the one person, that wasn't there when her mom needs help, turns out to be her teacher or one of his own? This is where a moment comes when maybe Sam, Miguel, or someone tells her, "How do you think your mother would feel, seeing what you've become?". This has Tory think for a while. Then one evening, Tory decides to explore her mother's story and soon goes down this whole rabbit hole of the truth that Kreese, Silver or Barnes are related to her learns that they left her and her mom with nothing. She now learns what a total lie Cobra Kai really is and that's when she changes her views about herself and Kreese (Oh, and if we want to go a darker angle, Tory's mom dies and we can get a killer performance from Peyton List, first with tears then driven to rage). So the tournament arrives and Daniel and Johnny's team are in deep with Cobra Kai, and in the finals, it's Miguel vs Robby and either it's the winning point round or Robby does beat Miguel and Cobra Kai wins and as the group claims the trophy and when given the microphone and asked if they have something to say, this happen : The lights go off, except for the one in the ring. Then Tory walks onto the ring and holds out a microphone and says, "Yes, let's all cheer for Cobra Kai, WHO DESERVES TO DIE!!!! (Basically playing with the phrase "Cobra Kai Never Dies"). Tory attacks Kreese, Silver, or Barnes. And Miguel and Robby try to stop her but it agitates a bigger fight which leads to Johnny and Daniel's team attacking the other Cobra Kais, and to add more to the action, other dojos at the competition get involved. It's a literal riotous frenzy. And Tory is literally doing whatever it takes to overpower Kreese, Silver or Barnes. She gets the upper hand and puts one of them in a chokehold, ready to break their neck. Now here comes the hard part, because I don't know whether I would have Tory kill one of them, or to have Tory see what she's become and then she lets them go, because what would happen then? I'll have you people decide. That's all I have for the theory, please comment on what should happen and we can all decide from there.

Tory will be forever loyal to cobra kai, cobra kai gave her a sense of pride and potential to display her abilities in the dojo, outside the dojo she's just seen as lowly waitress. Also kreese helped her out with her personal home life so she feels indebted to kreese to be the second hand to kreese along side robby.

@@osmanyousif7849 Ok so the story is a huge reach but it's your own thoughts so it's ok. However one small thing that I would like to add. Breaking a person's neck is really really reaaaally hard. Despite what you see in the movies, breaking a neck requires a huge amount of strength and it's harder the bigger or thicker a person's neck is. Tory being much younger than any of these 3 would in no way capable of breaking someone neck let alone, Kreese, Barners or Silver all three being quite big men. And to drive that home even harder, the only possibly snappable neck in the series is Johnny (who is probably of the most muscular characters in the series) breaking Eli's neck (who has probably the thinnest neck from the show) That's the power difference that needs to happen for someone to break a neck

Exactly Julie and Tory have identical backstories both started out as the angry, distrustful, troubled teen girl mad at the whole world over a bad situation she has no control over, along with being the outsider bullied at school by rich kids making things worse. But where their paths differed was how learning karate affected their future Julie learned from her sworn grandfather Mr. Miyagi that it was okay to feel angry at seemingly the whole world over what she believes her parents' unfair, and undeserved death in that car accident but it wasn't okay to give into said anger and become a hate-fueled monster, where as Kreese did not teach Tory any self-control he taught her the world sees you as a monster then become the monster and destroy the world.

I do agree that Sam has the right to suspect her, it's common sense. If anybody would've been in that situation, I think majority of us would act like that because it makes sense. But it doesn't justify everything that happened there because she still acted based on an assumption. There were other alternative ways to confront Tory. (In reality though, I wouldn't really see someone confronting a 'thief' peacefully, because literally, why? It would prolly be a fight like pulling of her and pushing everybody but they know karate so that escalated to a whole new level.) I also agree that Sam doesn't cause all the problems in the show, as much as all of it could be correlated to her. She has her fair share of mistakes and poor decisions, but she's definitely not the only one. I wouldn't describe Tory as an overall evil person though. As much as she literally can go to jail because she's committed crimes, she also clearly mentally unstable so she really needs to act on that. We see that in Season 4, but sadly Sam is on her way for revenge. Ughhh, I HATE and love the drama. XD Stay safe, by the way!

Tori seems like she is basically looking for a father figure. Kreese preys on the weak, and found someone who will follow lock step. She is probably my favorite character because her background is still slightly obscured adding all the reason more to add the chip on her shoulder. Plus, she is very easy on the eyes. I think Hillary Swank has expressed interest on at least a cameo, and that could be the redemption arc you very well were speaking of.

You mean that moment where she deliberately centers herself and finds her balance? It's not that Sam is focused. Tory is entirely focused on beating Sam, and that focus doesn't help her because the focus isn't where it NEEDS to be (the task of the moment). Balance is the ability to recognize WHEN your focus is not where it should be, and put it in its place so that you can function. That's continually Tory's problem. Her focus is almost always on something outside of herself that she drives herself towards singlemindedly, and it almost always leads to her overextending herself, going too far, and making herself vulnerable because she doesn't know how to pull back. Sam, on the other hand, has a strong center and was raised to operate out of that central pillar... which means her danger is less in overextending herself and more in withdrawing and FAILING to extend herself when opportunities present themselves (such as when she quits karate out of fear following Tory's attack).

She does some hurtful stuff and yet, some fans victimize her and she victimize herself and says she blames herself but instead of bettering herself and helping her family, she selfishly takes it out on Miyagi-Do. Which was why part of why I hated her, she didn't have to keep beating Sam to a pulp. I'm like "let it go, move on and find someone else to date and stop making your problems everyone else's.

I think most of Tory’s anger comes from the fact that despite the fact that she is part of a group and has friends, she still feels pretty much alone and that she only has herself to count on. Considering the fact that she is the bread winner of her family by looking after her little brother and sick mother, all that pressure and frustration has built up to the point where she feels that if she doesn’t fight, everything will fall apart. While Miguel and did (though not intentionally) point out that she is crazy, she is more misguided than crazy.

I used to like Tory. She was a cool opposite to sam. And I didnt really like sam in season 2 which kinda added to me liking tory more. But then the school brawl came. She tried to severely hurt or even kill sam over a kiss. That was a little to much for me. Like why not talk to miguel. Of course he pulled back first but he still did it. (I know he regretted it). But I started liking her again when she showed character development with the landlord story and her blaming herself for Miguel's situation. But then she lost me when she accepted robby into cobra kai. I see alot of people talking about how loyal she is. And she was until she invited the person who tried to kill her ex (who she still loved) into the dojo he was fighting which is tory's. And it felt weird how she was cool with him that quickly. The final straw was when she broke into the larusso house because sam and miguel teamed up. That's when I started hating her and finding her like a cartoon villain. Pretty much everything pointed out in this video. But that's just my opinion.

I agree. And to be honest, that issue with Tory is present in everyone who stayed in Cobra Kai. Their grudge was understandable in the beginning as they were angry at the Miyagi Do for Robby nearly killing Miguel as well as believing that Miguel was also in his condition because he showed mercy to the enemy. But this season they went from misguided kids with understandable motivations to cartoon villains just because. They steal money from the fundraiser and beat up Nathaniel so that they can give it to Miguel themselves in the name of Cobra Kai, even though it was already publicised that Miyagi Do was making the money. They steal toys, tickets and messed with games at the arcade because... bad guys need to bad guy. And to justify Miyagi Do's intervention and prep them up as victims of circumstance. Including stealing the snake, how could they be this petty by their own nature compared to season 2, where the vandalism was an instruction from Kreese when Hawk was actually gonna accept his loss. Miguel's injury is their justification for all the shit they did to Miyagi Do, which extends to from the first episode to the last. But when the actual culprit is seen in their dojo as instructed by Kreese, everyone was like "😐 OK he's our co-leader now." Seriously? How is Hawk the only person who has a problem with this?" To add on, if Tory still cares for Miguel, why is she being immediately all buddy-buddy with Robby? If Tory doesn't care as much, why is the mention of Miguel and Sam simply working together to save the tournament enough to make her BREAK INTO SAM'S HOUSE to instigate a fight between the dojos just to brutalise her again?! (Though I believe the fight itself was pretty cool) Compared to Johnny and his friends, apart from Dutch, who were influenced by Kreese for 3 to 5 years, these guys, in a span of 4 months at most of his influence, did not become simply bullies: they're psychopathic criminals. With all that they've done, the only realistic way to continue the Cobra Kai POV for season 4 is to put them in juvie recruiting fighters, including Shawn, while Kreese and Silver work to get them out quickly. I apologise for the long rant. I loved season 3, but their characterisation, or the lack thereof, of the Cobra Kai students prevents me from giving this season anything above an 8.

@@dortymakaloni7861 I totally agree. To me the original theme of cobra kai was that there is two sides to every story. In my opinion season 3 kinda disregards that theme. Of course the cobra kais have a good reason to hate miyagi do. But now they have become the generic bully/villain stereotype. We delve into kreeses backstory this season, but that doesnt make him any less a mustache twirling villain. Tory gets her backstory expanded on. But then becomes a full on villain. It contradicts the original theme. That's why I like season 1 the best.

@@KingZuFFG I also liked season 1's demonstration on how both sides can do wrong when pursuing their goals. Daniel raising the rent at the strip mall was a portrayal of even good people making bad impulsive decisions. But by season 3, every reckless action by Miyagi Do always has to be a justified retaliation toward Cobra Kai starting something. And like I mentioned, even though Johnny and his friends had years of the purely Kreese Cobra Kai philosophy compared to 4 months for the new generation, they, except Dutch, never fought unarmed opponents with weapons, condoned cheating (only doing so to not piss of Kreese), steal money, valuables and animals from unauthorised areas, vandalised places, or broke into houses. EDIT side note: I was actually hoping for few of the Cobra Kai students to be kids of the people Daniel put out of business.

Tory is like a dark version of Julie Pierce and somewhat a young version of Chozen. Robby for me reminds me a lot like a young version of Chozen. Miguel reminds me a lot like both young Daniel who’s always nice and down to earth and present Johnny who knows how to be strong and tough. Hawk does reminds me of Dutch, but Hawk shows he’d changed. Johnny reminds me of Miyagi. Daniel in season 1 & 2 reminds me of Sato which I didn’t like that from him, but in season 3 he became like Miyagi again. Sam does reminds me of both of her dad and Ali in the past, but she tried to play victim many times which is stupid

Hate Sam all you want, but Tori WAS acting shady, and Sam was first and foremost concerned about her mom’s wallet 🤷🏻‍♀️

Honestly, in retrospect, I think the biggest problem with Tory is what they chose to use as the base for her rivalry with Sam. The love square drama was panned as the worst part of the show by a vast majority of viewers back when season 2 originally aired, and many have commented that season 3 was much better due in large part to the minimization of those storylines and resolving the triangles once and for all (by putting Miguel back with Sam, and laying the seeds for Tory to be in a relationship with Robby. Which will be for the best since she'll better connect with Robby than with Miguel). The rivalry between Robby and Miguel was tolerable seeing as it wasn't just about Sam, it was also about other things like Johnny's favoritism for Miguel and Miguel fighting dirty against Robby at the tournament. But the rivalry between Sam and Tory was disappointing because they made it be over Miguel's affections. Which really bothers me because the inciting incident for Tory to dislike Sam (the beach club incident) had nothing to do with Miguel. It wasn't even necessary for the writers to go the route of having them fight over a boy. It didn't start that way as it didn't become about Miguel until Tory found out that Sam was Miguel's ex-girlfriend, and had the writers remained on the path of building their rivalry largely on misunderstandings and Tory's possible feelings of jealousy and inferiority over Sam's home life & financial status, Tory's character would have likely gotten some more depth and might have been more well-received by fans. One way they could've done this is if the rivalry between Sam and Tory wasn't over Miguel's affections, but over Aisha. Aisha is childhood friends with Sam, and dojo classmate with Tory. Both Sam and Tory want what's best for Aisha. Tory wants Aisha to unlock her total potential, but Sam sees Tory as a corrupting influence on Aisha. Likewise, Sam wants the old Aisha back, but Tory sees this as Sam wanting to keep Aisha "pure" like a "nun". This would've also allowed Aisha to continue to contribute to the story, rather than take a backseat to Tory once Tory joined the dojo, then get written out of the show after the school fight. (Although I wonder what Aisha would've contributed if she stuck around for season 3, since I think her presence would've undermined Sam's PTSD storyline a bit).

As I saw someone comment, I feel like the best way to redeem Tory would be to bring back Chozen not only as a sensei to her but as a father figure so she has someone with a similar past to lean back on. I also see Tory’s redemption in a future season of the show since at the end of season 4 she realized that Kreese cheated on the tournament and has a concerned look on her face, which makes me wonder if she’s going to change one season 5. But I would really like to have a female villain just to counteract Sam so that the Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do still has that tension.

They didn't imo. The interaction they had is this, word for word: Miguel: "Look are you sure you want to -" Miguel: "All right. Game on." Miguel: "Close the gap." Miguel: "You're telegraphing." Miguel: "Don't let em see it coming." Tory: "Did you see that coming?" Miguel: "Maybe. The name's Miguel." Tory: "Tory. With a Y." This is the only interaction they had in that episode, as Tory went to the beach with Aisha later on for the rest of the day. Tory doesn't talk to Miguel at all until the next episode, which is where they start to talk outside of class. Tory clearly wasn't ecstatic when she saw that Sam was hi ex. She flashed a forced brief smile when Miguel was talking about the relationship mascot but the immediately grimaced after. The other part of the problem is that there are timeskips that happen often subtly in Cobra Kai, but counting Demitri's change of clothes (when he joins after they get back from the country club), at least 3 days pass (and that's also assuming after Kreese and Johnny teach that the students to to eat at dinner the same day). If this all happened in the same week, Tory still moved fast and really had no intention of getting with Miguel at first, especially when they had one brief interaction. If they did have chemistry, it definitely would've been mentioned in passing through dialogue at that point.

If Tory's mom ends up being Julie (Karate Kid 4) that would be awesome!... However they would have to work out what went wrong with her raising Tory (Who is angry just like her mother was before Miyagi Do), and how her and Daniel never meet as I would expect that Julie would have stayed in touch with Mr. Miyagi and thus would have meet Daniel at some point.

One of the things that bothered me is how Sam was saying "Everyone has a so story, but that doesn't mean you can hurt those around you" (Might have paraphrased it, but it's something like that) when it should've been Tory. It sounds so out of touch when it's someone like Sam. I fully agree with the message, but seeing all the things Tory struggles through, which are things Sam will probably never face in her lifetime, I think that message would hit deeper if it came from Tory instead.

Am I the only one that was thinking Tory was going to end up being Kreese's granddaughter? I was thinking when Kreese's girlfriend died she left behind a daughter and that daughter is Tory's mother. But then in Season 4 Tory had a confrontation with her aunt so it seems less likely. Unless the aunt is her mom's evil twin? Too soap opera?... 🤔

No i have the same thought. Remember how much the death of Betsy hurt Kreese. Maybe this was the start of everything. Here is my thought, like i said only a thought. Since there are so many theories about Barnes being her dad or Julie her mother: I have an other idea (only idea): Tory could indeed be his granddaughter. Remember Kreese s girlfriend Betsy (like Tory ends with an Y) died in a car crash. Maybe she was pregnant from Kreese, but never told him since he had to go to Vietnam. She was pregnant with twin sisters, Tory s mother and aunt. Those two babies were saved in the belly of their death mother, and maybe her mom is disabled because she was cut out of Betsys belly. That landlord even asked Kreese if he was Tory s grandfather or something. It is a mystery why her mother was never shown yet...and Kreese almost saw her when he stood in the door. Kreese indeed seems to see something of himself in Tory...maybe because she is his granddaughter without knowing it. Kreese only cares about three people, Johnny who was like a son for him, Robby because he is Johnny s son, and Tory. And now it seems Tory and Robby are a couple...Kreese would love that i am sure.

Tory really needs to get something. Not because "every villain needs a redemption," but because, really, she just keeps getting the short end of everything. The girl can't catch a break. The world just keeps shitting on her again and again and honestly you'd have to be an absolute saint to NOT be incredibly angry and lash out in her situation. Hell, she's under Kreese's thumb mostly because she HAS TO BE, else, well, who's going to pay the rent for her family? She's just stuck in terrible situation after terrible situation and the show is just like, "yeah, sucks for her, maybe she should try being perfect like the LaRusso girl!" and leave it at that. It's one of the few points where the show really disappoints me.

Devon will make tory realize his anger issues are self destructive because devon is just like her and is making the same misttakes, so she would want devon to not end up like her. So she would try to be a better person for devon, tretaing her like a litle sister.

In early 2020 there was a Cobra Kai panel at C2E2, featuring the two stars of the show, William Zapka and Ralph Macchio. There was a 15 minute Q & A which I stood in line for but never got to speak because time ran out. My question, though, was "since the producers said everything in the Karate Kid movies is canon in Cobra Kai, does that mean The Next Karate Kid is as well and is there a possibility that Julie, played by Hilary Swank, would come back?" I was expecting a "no, there's no way we could afford Swank." but now I think the character might come back, just played by a different actress.

The writers will have to pull off a miracle to redeem Tory, imho. She was willing to start a brawl at school (she knew what she was doing), use brass knuckles against an opponent, and (no one likes to mention it) actively encouraged Hawk to break Dimitri's arm with a look of anticipation on her face. That's some psychotic behavior right there. Hawk isn't blameless in that but he did everything for Cobra Kai, including stalking Dimitri, breaking his arm, turning on Miguel at one point, stealing multiple times, beating a new kid in Cobra Kai to a bloody pulp, and yet for all of that Tory and the rest of Cobra Kai just brush him off when Robby comes along. It's why Hawk left because he didn't want to be like them, or more specifically like HER. I bet her tune changes when no one shows her mercy or tries to take over her spot at the dojo.

Going through your "Rivalry with Sam" section, I'm going to raise some counterpoints. 1: She made a joke that she could take that stuff but do keep in mind she also said that they wouldn't notice it was gone while people would OBVIOUSLY know that their wallets were stolen. Also, she was with Aisha, so she didn't need to take any money at the country club(nor is she ever shown to steal money in the whole show). The only thing she took was a bottle of Vodka for her and Aisha, which was the one thing they couldn't have even with the money because of their age and they were just having drinks at the beach. 2: Yeah she told Miguel to do that to make her jealous at first, but it's clear that over the course of the summer she actually fell for him and Miguel moved on from Sam to Tory. Also she clearly had the hots for him even before he showed that video of him and Sam. 3: A little Elbow is nowhere near as bad as sweeping the leg, especially since she was holding food that she was taking to the customers. Yeah Tory started it but do keep in mind Sam never apologized about accusing her for stealing the wallets, so in this case it was more of Tory getting revenge for the accusation that she would rob people with intention to cause harm. 4: Tory had already won a drinking game beforehand while Sam hadn't participated, and while Tory was a bit of a sore loser, Sam was definitely a sore winner with that "guess someone couldn't hold their liquor, huh?" line. And there's the fact she was distracted by someone else when if she had been focused on the Drinking game it would've gone on much longer. Probably would've won, too, given how we see drunk Sam. 5: I'm just gonna point out that in the school fight she didn't drag anyone else into it, that was just between her and Sam until Robby, Miguel and Hawk intervened. Unfortunately I've seen all too often that these sorts of things get blown way out of proportion into a crazy fight after an affair, so I can't really say Tory is _abnormally_ crazy. 6: She only didn't visit Miguel because she had priorities as the breadwinner for her family, then Miguel rejected her at the cafe and that was the end of their relationship so she as no real obligation to care at that point. Overall, I would NOT say Tory was the instigator in this rivalry like Johnny and Chozen were to Daniel, and in Season 2 they were equally complicit, but Tory ended up taking things too far. And as for the idea of her vs Hawk, she doesn't really stand much of a chance since back in Season 2 Hawk only said Miguel was a worthy opponent at Coyote Creek and he showed a much bigger improvement from Seasons 2-3 than Tory did. EDIT: If Tory were to be redeemed then either don't have Sam be included in it or have Sam realize she was in the wrong too.

If Julie does show up in S4 as the 3rd sensei or the head sensei of a allied dojo I think she'll be instrumental in redeeming Tory, and getting Sam to realize that Tory isn't a lost cause along with getting Sam to fully admit her mistakes from the first 2 seasons. And mostly for a couple of reasons the main one is as stated in this video Julie when she was young basically during the year 1994 she was were Tory is that being the troubled teen girl angry at the whole world, distrustful of everyone, a rebellious troublemaker due to a bad situation that she couldn't control, and the outsider bullied at school by rich kids for no apparent reason. Plus she did learn from Mr. Miyagi the whole lesson of "No bad students only bad teacher." When he told her about him and Daniel's issues with Cobra Kai when she revealed to him that she went to the ROTC teacher and sensei to The Alpha Elite Col. Dugan only to discover he was a asshole himself. So I think Julie revealing to Sam that she was were Tory is right now, will get Sam to realize she may have played a small to medium-sized role in Tory's fall from grace and get her to make the attempt to apologize to Tory over what she did in Seasons 1, and 2. And Julie revealing to Tory that she understands where she is coming from and why she has the attitude she has because she's been there before will help Tory gain redemption.

The girls both made the fair mistakes. I just personally don't see how going after a girl you had one interaction with to make her jealous isn't instigating. The elbow was intentional because she was paranoid that Sam would do the same thing to her that she was doing to Sam - making the other person jealous. As far as not visiting Miguel, I just can't see how she didn't have the time. Kreese freeing up the financial responsibility for her also freed up her time. If she was really that much of a breadwinner, she wouldn't have time for karate at all. Even just ONE day. That is the one thing I will give Sam is that she actually owned up to it and visited Miguel (although Tory did feel some remorse for her actions)

Tory reminds me a lot of Azula from AtLA. They're both absurdly competent fighters, as well as being sociopaths who have done some absolutely terrible things, but at the end of the day they're also just kids, and it could be argued that a lot of the things they have done are caused by manipulation from father figures: Ozai for Azula, Kreese for Tory. Though they both initially seem to have everything together, they're shown later on to both have very sad backstories, and they are both clearly working through some serious mental health issues. I don't ever want to see either of them get a full 180 redemption arc and team up with the good guys - they've both made too many horrible mistakes at this point for that to seem plausible - but I DO want them to be able to go to therapy, work through their problems, and have a better life.

Tory and Miguel's relationship was the story thread I was waiting so long to see picked up again after the ending of season 2. There relationship and Tori herself seemed more relatable than Sam. I won't lie when I say I was thoroughly disappointed with how they ended the relationship with a bad conversation. All I wanted to see was 1 scene where Tori visits Miguel in the hospital.
