How the Twist in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 1 Affects Robby Keene
Fans of Cobra Kai are on the tip of their seats as the much awaited sixth season has unexpectedly changed. In the first five episodes, Tory leaves Miyagi-do and her boyfriend Robby to see Kreese, her former sensei, once more. This surprising action will surely have major effects on the series going ahead, especially for Robby Keene, whose character is played by Tanner Buchanan.
Robby Keene's Emotional Conflict
Buchanan offered his observations on Robby's emotional state after Tory left, stressing the character's battle with doubt and a sense of "thrown off his groove." The actor said that Robby shared with Tory a vision of the road he intended to follow, one which was crystal clear. But that agreement is broken with Tory's leaving, thus he is doubting his direction.
Renowned for his emotional sensitivity, Robby is left struggling with his loss and uncertainty. Still, will he be able to negotiate this emotional upheaval and get back on track?
Will Robby Follow Tory Back to Cobra Kai?
Fans have always found great mystery in the relationship between Robby and Tory, a couple bonded by their common experiences of difficult upbringing. Robby was instrumental in persuading Tory to reject Cobra Kai's damaging beliefs and adopt Miyagi-do's philosophy. But their relationship teeters now with Tory's return to Kreese.
Although Tory's choice is motivated by her own situation—especially the death of her mother—Robby is left to negotiate the fallout. His emotional sensitivity and his relationship with Tory beg the issue: will he decide to follow his girlfriend back to Cobra Kai's dark side?
Robby's Leadership Position at Miyagi-do
Apart from his personal challenges, Robby deals with additional pressure from his recently acquired leadership post at Miyagi-do. Robby has been named team captain for the Sekai Taikai tournament, a big responsibility requiring tenacity and commitment. This new difficulty gives Robby a special chance to prove himself and show his allegiance to Miyagi-do's ideals.
Robby Keene and Tory: Future
The dramatic change in Tory and Robby's relationship prepares the ground for some explosive events in the forthcoming Cobra Kai episodes. Fans are eager to see how Robby will manage his emotional upheaval, negotiate his leadership duties, and finally choose whether to stick with Miyagi-do or follow Tory back to Kreese's side as the second half of season six gets ready. As the season progresses, questions about his future and the course of his relationship with Tory will be addressed.
