Netflix has released the season five trailer for its karate action dramedy Cobra Kai.

Below is a lengthy look at the upcoming season, which finds the villainous Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) expanding the Cobra Kai empire and trying to make his “No Mercy” style of martial arts the only game in town, while Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) try to find some way to stop him — plus, there’s a water park brawl.
