They could surprise me, but Mike Barnes was absolutely vicious and perfect at that. I would expect that he would have unfinished business with Daniel. They all can't have redemptive stories.
Everyone switches sides so much, I'd be surprised if any character was ever kept that simple. This really is like wwf or a soap opera. Such a guilty pleasure.
Karate Kid three - I'm awesome but don't want to defend my title. Oh I want to defend my title, but I go to a guy that trys to cripple me in training and I don't think it through. I get int a bar fight because I think I'm awesome. Then I get into a tournament and cheat with an illegal blow to the head.
He didn't win with an illegal blow to the head. He grabbed Barnes arm during sudden death, spun him to the ground and punched his side. Plus he only "decided" to enter the tournament when his and his friend's life were literally in the hands of his tormenters.
But yeah, Daniel was a dick in Karate Kid III as an 17 or 18 year old, then he trained with Miyagi for another 30 years so we expect more from him.
EDIT: Also super glad I didn't see the trailer for season 3, I think it would have diminished some of the best parts of the season had I seen it.

Bring back Mike Barnes. Loved that guy and his fat side kick.
My guess is that he will be coming back, but they want to keep it a surprise. Barnes was hired by Silver in KK3 to take Laruso down. I could see them introducing Barnes in Cobra Kai in a similar way.
On a side note, just rewatched the Barnes fighting scene, and the fighting is comically bad. Macchio just standing there while Barnes throws brawler styler blows:

No wax on, wax off. No Sand the floor. No paint the fence. No paint the house.
It's like he forgot all of his training from KK1. no wonder Mr. Miyagi looks so pissed.

Great season, the last few episodes got really dark
Spoiler!
Kreese didn't know what he got with Silver til the end, but he grabbed a psychotic tiger by the tail.
For some reason the kids in Kobra Kai were a lot more sympathetic then the kids in Myagi. In fact for the most part Sam and the others were complete jerks.
Johnny is still a sad story, while he really tries he can't get out of his own way.
Loved that Cobra Kai used Daniel's teachings against them.
