“That scene was probably the hardest because it’s such a light-hearted environment on set. So doing it in front of everyone was weird. I didn’t really want to go there in front of everyone. It was so great. It was a challenge to stay in it and keep that energy, and I felt weird when I didn’t joke with everyone all the time.”

Part 2 of the topic Cobra KaiThe final season is widely expected to feature either Robby or Sam in an attempt to get Tory to return to Miyagi-Do.
Tanner Buchanan, who plays Robby, told Collider that Tory’s decision had “kind of threw (Robby) out of his career,” admit it “it doesn’t look good on him:”
“Well, that’s the whole thing. I think he’s torn because he doesn’t know which way is the right way at this point. I think he knew in his mind what he thought was the right way, and he had this Agreement Toryn with, “We’re going to make this happen.” Going into it, he doesn’t have that contract anymore, and it’s kind of derailed his career because he’s so emotional, he doesn’t know how to get back into it. We’ll see where he ends up. but it doesn’t look good on him right now.”
Buchanan’s comments suggest that Robby’s vulnerable state could cause problems for Miyagi-Do, as John Kreese and the other members of Cobra Kai could take advantage of it by recruiting him back into their team as well.

The pair could work together to try and get Tory back, using Kreese’s ruthless past as a way to help the lost student get back on track.
