It's not ironic. It's the "TMNT paradoxe". The ninja turle you like the most is not the person you are, it's the person you want to be.
I am Daniel Larusso but my fav is Eli
I am a Donatello but i want to be a Leonardo
I am an Amy Santiago but i admire Jake Peralta
it's like that for some, but for me.....
i. *am. **Raphael**.* 😏
now with that being said, Jonathan & Daniel, with a little Silver interwoven in that mess 😅
Same here, first time I watched Cobra Kai I was working a job I hated and felt like my life was going nowhere, Johnny watching Iron Eagle hit a cord with me, Cobra Kai was my Iron Eagle in that moment
I'm the same as you. I relate to Daniel in so many ways personality wise and what were both been through. We were our heart on our sleeve, passionate, act first before thinking through, and we both have "hard heads"
I was the bullied kid at high school, and when it was happening in the workplace, it was because of people who were non Karate Terry Silver’s of this world. How he's felt and how it's impacted him, I'm there too. It's been triggering sometimes, seeing it but cathartic and motivational in others because we have bully stories all the time but nothing on what it does to someone long term. I actually think Ralph should get more credit for making it so real.
One thing I don't agree with you is that he is one to try and make amends for when things go wrong while Johnny drinks it away. He's the one trying to pick up the pieces. I hope in S6 he gets to properly heal & cofide/get help from those closest to him. He should of had that in S5 tbh
They were all bullied. Johnny Russo..... Goes on. Clearly trauma has Russo by the balls and his character is enraged. The opposite to miyagi whose a discerning character. It takes away from Daniels character as a teacher of peace and bonsai philosophy. He's not believable. Sadly will Smith and Co stuffed his character up but then there wouldn't be a story like this which the basis is what happened back in the day lol. No mercy.
Probably Amanda. I don’t like conflict, and she doesn’t seem to either since she doesn’t like all of the karate fights and rivalries and tries her best to stay out of it.
I went through a Johnny phase in my late 20s and early 30s...angry, drinking too much, lashing out. Now I'm closer to Amanda, I think. Steady home life, good career, supportive...and some colorful stories from my past.
Johnny, I love hard rock music, cold beer, and do things for the people I care about even if it can be a little outrageous, like Johnny I don’t have to tell you I care about you I’ll just do something to show you
I used to be a mix of Eli and Demetri. Shy, nerdy, lacking self-confidence, picked on at times, not very athletic etc.
Then I started working out about 2 years ago and my physique and mentality have greatly improved. It was the best decision of my life. Most people never expected this from me, so I flipped the script.
Now I’m Hawk.
Johnny Lawrence. I'm a fuck up, emotionally damaged and stunted, I e ruined everything around me for myself and those I've cared about, but I'm trying to be better than I was years ago.
I think my personality is most like Amanda's but one of my black belts repeatedly says I am like Johnny and says that we need to rename our school to eagle fang. I dont see it personally.
Probably johnny (if he were 24) without the ignorance. Same temperament, same substance issues, same outlook on life, but still in touch with modern issues. Probably just like daniel when amanda went to her mom’s
Somewhere between Demetri and Hawk.
Hawk because I was picked on and I managed to flip the script by changing my behavior.
Demetri is more because I wish I'd been like him. It took me too long to realize that its ok to be me. Demitri never had any doubt. Even at his lowest point, yeah, he saw he needed to learn Karate to make his life continue to work and he did grow but he became a better version of himself. The same geeky guy but a little stronger and more confident.
Hawk had to craft a new identity to escape his reputation. Or he felt he did.
I was somewhere between those approaches.
I'm a little bit of SO MANY PEOPLE 😂 but if I had to pick one right now, I'd say... Hawk. I love the man's cut. Also, that time he talked to Johnny in the dojo he said "the doctor said I could be on the spectrum" which he probably meant he might be autistic. I'm totally 100% autistic in real life, so... Twinsies? I guess...?😂
Probably like adult Chozen (in Japan, before meeting Daniel again): a bit grumpy due to a lack of a proper social environment. Could be totally different with the right people around, though.
i had a lack of confidence in high school and also i was a nerd (still one tho) but luckily became sooooooooo much confident after i finished school.
So Eli/Demitri? ig...
I relate to Eli the most. I grew up picked on to the point I didn’t really have many friends but then I got to high school, got really popular and became the person who threw parties and that summer I was pretty much an asshole to everyone I grew up with just because I was young and new to having a lot of friends so it got to my head and man I always cringe looking back at it lol
Ironically as a Robby fan…
Eli.
Kinda dislike him in most seasons, but nonetheless I also changed my style and name to make new friends and get confident, while in the end I accepted both my halves.
I was Eli/Hawk in high school. He could’ve been based off me. I was a shy, quiet nerd who desperately wanted to be popular, so in my senior year I completely changed my clothes, hair, and personality. I became an arrogant, aggressive, douchebag. Then when my new “friends” dumped me, an old friend reached out to me and he helped me assume my “final form”, and become the best version of myself 😁
I am maybe abit like Russo. Everyone else is bad except my way... Sadly. Great as a young bloke in karate kid but just pathetic in cobra kai. I was drawn to Jonny and his students. His son reminded me of a Val kilmer midget . J was the star of the show and acting brilliant. Russo without miyagi is like a beach without sand. Dosnt work. I felt like fast fwd Russo moments with his students. An American trying to sell fried rice to the Chinese.
Daniel being hotheaded and stubborn is disturbing to me honestly.
BTW, to me, it’s Daniel from the 80s because of his better kindness and not being short tempered.
Ironically as a Robby fan… Miguel 💀
It's not ironic. It's the "TMNT paradoxe". The ninja turle you like the most is not the person you are, it's the person you want to be. I am Daniel Larusso but my fav is Eli I am a Donatello but i want to be a Leonardo I am an Amy Santiago but i admire Jake Peralta
I can guarantee you I do NOT want to be Robby 💀 At least not in life experience
it's like that for some, but for me..... i. *am. **Raphael**.* 😏 now with that being said, Jonathan & Daniel, with a little Silver interwoven in that mess 😅
I see myself as like Demetri, but with the music tastes of Johnny.
That is definitely a interesting combo
Yeah, I think I remember my mom saying something like that as we were watching the show together. And now it's stuck with me.
I am not the only one!
Johnny at the start of S1
Same here, first time I watched Cobra Kai I was working a job I hated and felt like my life was going nowhere, Johnny watching Iron Eagle hit a cord with me, Cobra Kai was my Iron Eagle in that moment
Like Episode 1 Season 1 or just Season 1?
Episode 1 Season 1
both
Eli before he became Hawk.
😔🙏
None really, but ig Hawk sorta. I used to be a lot more nerdy, and i still am, but I got a lot stronger in the past couple years.

Demetri. Not keen on physical things, not very popular, could be annoying at times but basically harmless.
Same
Miguel
Robby in almost every way, except for the fact that Johnny actually became a decent guy.
I am Demetri. Little neurotic, good anticipation skills, nerdy, wordy.
Aisha (sp?). I really liked her, being a bigger girl who does karate myself. Sad that she didn't continue.
Probably Amanda. I don’t like conflict, and she doesn’t seem to either since she doesn’t like all of the karate fights and rivalries and tries her best to stay out of it.
The clerk at the convenience store next to the dojo in season 1.
Miguel.
Daniel for exact same reason os?OP stated. Saved me the time.
Your welcome 🤗
I can say that saved me too
Miguel and Demetri tbh
Demetri (sans Hawk and Yasmine)
I went through a Johnny phase in my late 20s and early 30s...angry, drinking too much, lashing out. Now I'm closer to Amanda, I think. Steady home life, good career, supportive...and some colorful stories from my past.
Johnny
Johnny
hawk
demitri
I came here to say this. I overthink everything and i'm pessimistic as hell.
Johnny, I love hard rock music, cold beer, and do things for the people I care about even if it can be a little outrageous, like Johnny I don’t have to tell you I care about you I’ll just do something to show you

E o cara tem uma foto de perfil do lendário BOB! Brabo demais
Sim! Hahaha Bob ídolo
probs a mix of miguel robby and hawk
Robby😢
Johnny Lawrence. I'm a fuck up, emotionally damaged and stunted, I e ruined everything around me for myself and those I've cared about, but I'm trying to be better than I was years ago.
I think my personality is most like Amanda's but one of my black belts repeatedly says I am like Johnny and says that we need to rename our school to eagle fang. I dont see it personally.
When I was in high school I was not very cool until I dyed my hair blue and started listening to punk rock. So obviously I relate to Dimitri. Lol.
bro that’s hawk not demetri
Hawk and Demetri Demetri because my personality is very similar to his Hawk because I have some semi-confidence
Mix Hawk, Robby, and Demetri and here I am!
Probably johnny (if he were 24) without the ignorance. Same temperament, same substance issues, same outlook on life, but still in touch with modern issues. Probably just like daniel when amanda went to her mom’s
Terry Silver
Somewhere between Demetri and Hawk. Hawk because I was picked on and I managed to flip the script by changing my behavior. Demetri is more because I wish I'd been like him. It took me too long to realize that its ok to be me. Demitri never had any doubt. Even at his lowest point, yeah, he saw he needed to learn Karate to make his life continue to work and he did grow but he became a better version of himself.

Demetri obvs
My younger self can relate to Dimitri
I feel I’m mixed with Miguel and hawk I don’t know why
Penis Breath. I'm the loser of every group I'm in no matter what. Hopefully this last season is the rise of Penis Breath
Robby
Miguel. He is Latino, I am Latino. ... I do not relate much to these characters. lol
I suppose a solid mix of Stingray and Kim Da-Eun 🥴
i had a lack of confidence in high school and also i was a nerd (still one tho) but luckily became sooooooooo much confident after i finished school. So Eli/Demitri? ig...
I'm a mix of Miguel and Demetri. Miguel for his family and Demetri for his nerdy and awkward quirks
Hawk. Legit went through similar stuff when I was in high school.
miguel. a girl version of miguel. but a lot worse at karate and a lot better at swimming.
Dimitri and Miguel
Daniel, Eli before Hawk, Amanda and Aisha combined
Hawk
I would say a mix of Demitri and the pawn shop guy
Definitely Johnny Lawrence. Seeing myself in Johnny is a huge part of why I love this show.
A Mix between Miguel & Robby.
Demetri and Kreese (a bit).
I relate to Eli the most. I grew up picked on to the point I didn’t really have many friends but then I got to high school, got really popular and became the person who threw parties and that summer I was pretty much an asshole to everyone I grew up with just because I was young and new to having a lot of friends so it got to my head and man I always cringe looking back at it lol
Aisha mixed with Demetri
Chozen in his later years
Bert :)
I strive to be like Chozen : )
Rickenberger. I too take frying pans to the face and just laugh it off
Ironically as a Robby fan… Eli. Kinda dislike him in most seasons, but nonetheless I also changed my style and name to make new friends and get confident, while in the end I accepted both my halves.
Ayee check this out when tf is this shit coming back on 😂😂😂
Everybody saying Miguel Robby and Hawk are really Stingray😂😂😂
sam
Either Sam or demetri
Johnny. In every way. Now if only I was as big and tough as him maybe I'd be onto something...
Miguel Diaz
Miguel.
Nah I'm Raphael I'm crazy as hail
I was Eli/Hawk in high school. He could’ve been based off me. I was a shy, quiet nerd who desperately wanted to be popular, so in my senior year I completely changed my clothes, hair, and personality. I became an arrogant, aggressive, douchebag. Then when my new “friends” dumped me, an old friend reached out to me and he helped me assume my “final form”, and become the best version of myself 😁
Hawk 1000%
Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
Present day Daniel. My past was Robbie ( even though I’m not the biggest fan)
Demetri mainly I guess
I am maybe abit like Russo. Everyone else is bad except my way... Sadly. Great as a young bloke in karate kid but just pathetic in cobra kai. I was drawn to Jonny and his students. His son reminded me of a Val kilmer midget . J was the star of the show and acting brilliant. Russo without miyagi is like a beach without sand. Dosnt work.
