BONSAISTRIKE ━━ SAMANTHA LARUSSO, daughter of two-time all valley champion and sensei daniel larusso, female captain of the dojo and winner of the all valley tournament. a story of living up to legacy and build your own.

INDEPENDENT,   MUTUAL   EXCLUSIVE   AND   SELECTIVE   BLOG   FOR   SAMANTHA LARUSSO FROM NETFLIX'S COBRA KAI AND THE MIYAGIVERSE. HEADCANON BASED AND NOT SPOILER FREE.   CST + 3.   SHE/HER.   WRITTEN   BY   CALI. (#)

promo. carrd (tba). headcanon. memes. OTHER BLOGS: robby keene | multi ck. jeanny brown. | daniel larusso. | axel kovacevic.

a few divergencies i will add to the carrd i'm working on.

sam does fight in the finals. she does loose to tory and she makes her peace with it. the all valley does give her the title that was rightfully hers after silver's stunt.

she still goes on a year long intership in okinawa, and there she will stay near chozen and kumiko.

her and miguel are not together. their relationship has not felt like one since season 2 for me and the chemistry is gone. sam respects he is going to stanford and she is doing her own thing.

she does not support the whoe wearing cobra kai gi at the finale.

if anything, my main verse will have them win as MD with robby and tory as the two winners.

@opponentcompel asked for a lesson.

There   is   still   so   much   she   does   not   know   about   her   father's   time   with   Silver.   Enough   to   know   that   her   father   has   great   shame   about   those   months   he   trained   and   also   to   notice   that,   when   prone   to   anger,   he   does   moves   that   were   never   taught   in   Miyagi-Do.   Even   when   she   saw   him   fight   Silver,   he   ussed   techniques   that   were   barely   on   the   defense   side.   And   now   it   seems   he   is   getting   into   Axel's   head.   "My   dad   said   you   were   going   to   do   things   by   the   book."   Sam   confronts   the   taller   man,   neverminding   making   herself   bigger   because   it   was   of   no   use   but   her   tone   is   what   many   consider   the   LaRusso   judgement   passing   through,   her   tone   and   eyes   matching   and   letting   the   other   know   she   is   not   impressed.  

"No   one   has   landed   a   point   on   him   in   all   of   the   competition   and   now   you   are   worried?   You   keep   whispering   to   him   and   he   goes   full   on   machine."   What   bothers   her   is   not   that,   per   say,   she   had   seen   the   same   thing   in   Robby   when   he   was   Cobra   Kai,   even   Tory,   they   got   that   blank   look   in   their   eyes   when   fought.   But   Axel   was   in   another   dimension,   brought   back   by   a   few   words   and   Sam   can't   help   but   to   worry.   "You   promised."

[bonsaistrike]

@taughtpain asked for a lesson.

"Come   on.   Your   injury   is   like   my   dad's   back   in   1984.   Miyagi   used   this,   but   you   should   not   smell   it."   Not   that   it   was   better   than   modern   medicine   and   it   did   help.   Back   then   her   dad   didn't   had   access   to   full   medical   care   but   now   he   does.   There   are   arrangements   for   Robby   to   start   psychical   therapy   to   get   his   knee   back   in   business.   "Apparently,   another   one   of   your   dad's   friends,   Jimmy   is   a   specialist   in   injury   recovery."   So   she   expects   Robby   to   be   back   in   his   two   feet   in   no   time,   for   the   time   being,   the   green   mystical   water   will   do.   Sam   smiles,   as   she   sits   beside   him   and   places   a   cloth   inside   the   bowl   to   soak   it   in.   "Remember   not   to   smell   it."

[bonsaistrike]

@mskwtz requested a session.

"So.   .   .karate   break   for   binary   bros   time   at   college?   Am   I   wait   to   expected   you   two   to   go   viral?"   Sam   teases   over.   It   all   felt.   .   .odd.   The   strange   tranquility   when   they   can   finally   train   and   focus   on   their   futures   without   anything   like   Cobra   Kai   and   Kreese   and   Silver   looming   over   them   and   her   father.   Sam   had   never   seen   him   so   at   peace,   at   last,   accepting   that   his   passion   was   being   a   Sensei   and   not   selling   cars.  

At   last,   her   mother   had   letting   go   the   idea   that   her   father   would   go   back   to   control   the   dealership.   "I   got   you   something."   And   Sam   tosses   him   a   shirt.   One   of   those   they   had   as   a   fake   logo   back   when   they   were   all   one   big   dojo.   Mr.   Miyagi   with   fangs.   It   was   a   rarity   but   hey,   it   could   start   a   conversation.   "But   don't   tell   my   dad,   he   would   freak   out."

[bonsaistrike]

@ncmcrcy asked for a session.

"It's   alright.   I   promise   it   doesn't   bite."   Inviting   Axel   to   her   home   might   be   odd,   but   she   did   asked   her   father   before   doing   so   and   he   had   been   okay   with   it.   Perhaps   her   father   saw   what   she   did,   regarding   the   mistreatment   he   had   at   the   hands   of   his   sensei.   And   while   the   same   sympathy   couldn't   be   extrapolated   to   Zara,   she   could   try   and   do   something   with   Axel,   considering   she   saw   the   moment   he   could've   hurt   Miguel   and   didn't.

  Sam   takes   off   her   shoes   as   they   come   by   the   Miyagi-Do   Dojo   and   smiles   as   she   often   does   toward   the   place.   "This   is   it.   Mr.   Miyagi's   old   home.   Well,   as   home   as   it   could   be   for   him,   I   suppose."   And   she   would   get   to   see   the   real   thing   soon.   Kumiko   had   wrote   her   to   say   that   she   and   Sato   preserved   parts   of   the   old   Tomi   Village,   to   preserve   the   legacy   of   her   grandfather.   "You   seem   to   adapt   so   easily   to   everything,   I   figure.   .   .why   not   this?"

[bonsaistrike]

heart this post for a starter based on part iii of the series finale or after series starter.

[bonsaistrike]

but who gonna give me robby/sam or sam/axel.

[princecvbra]

i'm leaving for NOLA in an hour (well arrive at airport in an hour). pretty nervous, but i will have my tablet and phone so catch me here or discord at

[bonsaistrike]

I do need an AU where she does join eagle fang or cobra kai, at least for a moment before going, you guys suck. bonsai out.

[bonsaistrike]

sam falling for axel would be full circle with how the show began with miguel in ck except this time, she pulls axel away from the iron dragons and silver.

[bonsaistrike]

@queencvbra asked: i’m gonna pretend you didn’t say that.

"I'm   just   saying.   .   .with   everything   going   on,   do   you   really   want   to   continue   in   Cobra   Kai?"   She   shrugs,   perhaps   her   questioning   had   come   a   bit   too   harsh   for   the   other   but   her   stance   remains.   "I   don't   know   how   close   you   were   to   him   but.   .   .a   kid   died,   Tory.   Not   much   older   than   we   are."   Her   father   had   turned   him   around   and   the   pool   of   blood   had   created   a   deadly   silence   around.  

For   days   her   father   had   been   off   but   she   does   not   dare   to   talk   to   him   about   it.   Somehow,   she   feels   he   is   reverting   back   to   when   Silver   came   back   except   this   time,   the   threat   of   closing   everything   down   feels   all   too   real.   "Dad   is   having   a   hard   time   and   I   just.   .   .I   don't   know   how   any   of   us   can   continue   like   this   for   much   longer."   And   college   was   approaching   wit   hthe   passing   months.   A   blink   of   an   eye   and   she   will   be   finishing   high   school.

[bonsaistrike]

the small headcanon i have that i am adding to my canon really is that the sekai takai is in okinawa.

[bonsaistrike]

i’ve been having a real rough night. (from axel @ncmcrcy )

The   beach   again.   It   seems   that,   no   matter   what   happens,   they   both   think   the   same   when   it   comes   to   where   to   go   in   times   of   need.   He   is   not   practising   his   kata   though   and   his   honesty   does   pierce   through   her   like   a   knife,   before   her   mind   reminds   her   of   why   they   are   both   feeling   like   this.   Kwon's   knife   was   meant   for   Axel,   was   it   not?   They   were   fighting   until   this   happened,   until   the   world   came   to   a   halt.   "Yeah.   .   .me   too."   And   after   a   moment   Sam   sits   down   on   the   sand,   her   bag   by   her   side   and   looking   up,   a   small   gesture   of   her   hand,   hoping   he   would   take   it   and   sit   beside   her.  

"I   still   can't   believe   all   that   has   happened."   Sam   breathes   back   shaking   her   head.   "A   few   years   ago.   .   .someone   I   care   about   was   hurt   because   of   a   brawl   like   this   but.   .   .this   is   different."   But   it   was   meant   to   end   like   this,   was   it   not?   Kreese   had   tried   to   kill   her   father   too,   and   the   beating   he   had   taken   from   Silver   had   put   him   out   of   commission   for   months.  

The   violence   kept   escalating,   turning   something   she   loves   into   something.   .   .else.   Sam   doesn't   have   a   word   for   it.   "We   are   in   Mr.   Miyagi's   country   and   I   really   wanted   to   know   more   about   it   but   all   of   this.   .   .kind   of   damps   out   the   situation."   And   perhaps   her   selfish   desire   to   learn   more   about   her   tanme.   "What   you   going   to   do   now?"

𝐍𝐄𝐓𝐅𝐋𝐈𝐗'𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐁𝐑𝐀 𝐊𝐀𝐈 𝐐𝐔𝐎𝐓𝐄 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒. 𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐗 𝐄𝐏𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐃𝐄 𝐄𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓. quotes have been taken from a transcript of episode eight of season six of cobra kai (cobra kai season six: part 2 episode 4). mentions of abuse, torture and drinking so please keep those in mind. you can change name, locations and pronouns as you see fit.

Hey, how's she doing?

 I need you to do something for me.

With Miguel dropping out, Miyagi-Do is down a fighter.

 Your mom's gonna be fine. Don't worry.

Can you maybe do that later so the rest of us can get on?

Relax, buddy. Economy ain't going anywhere.

Hey, look. Stay calm, okay?

Last thing we need to do is get kicked off the plane. Please.

"Neat" means "no ice," babe.

Oh man, what a day.

I can't even imagine what Johnny's going through.

I just wish we could do something.

But, uh, we also have big problem here, Daniel-san.

I knew Kreese hated my guts, but kidnapping me?

How did Kreese know you were searching for answers about Miyagi?

She was there when I was asking Gunther about the headband.

She probably set his whole scheme in motion, and now they got this long-haired brute doing their dirty work.

If Kreese thinks he can pull this shit and get away with it, he's got another thing coming.

Looks like we got LaRusso rattled.

Good.Now the real fun begins.

Dial up the pressure.

I don't approve. Our team should be focused on the tournament.

I won't have my grandfather's students  risking the shame of disqualification for petty fights off the mat.

Your grandfather is the one that taught me that battles aren't reserved for the battlefield.

Kreese expects retaliation, so we must show restraint.

Focus on competition.

I'm sorry I was not there to help you, Daniel-san. I was in very bad place.

But if we're gonna stand down, we've gotta go into defense mode.

The kids have to stay in for tonight.

Sensei Chozen. Uh, the team and I really need to clear our minds tonight. Is it cool if we hit the town?

Only if you hit the town hard.

Kids will be okay.

 Did you talk to Miguel before he left?

We were so excited about exploring Barcelona together. And now...

How are you feeling?

 Thinking about adding rum to this Coke.

 Yeah, right. You don't drink.

Now might be a good time to start. I've been screwing everything up since Tory put us on a break. And you know what makes it worse is it's not even affecting her.

Tory chose the other side. And I feel terrible for her. But we can't keep letting her get in our heads like this. It's time to accept that she's against us.

See her knock that girl's tooth out? She's a badass.

A spot opened up in Miyagi-Do, and they need you to compete in the Sekai Taikai.

You were disregarding me all tournament. And you're making things worse right now.

You'll probably make things worse at the hospital too. Like drinking in the parking lot when Robby was born.

No wonder Robby's so messed up.

Hey, man, that's a low blow. Don't bring Robby into this.

I know you're upset you didn't get captain, but he won that fair and square.

You let her cut the line?

Yeah, she's hot.

Looking after my students. What are you doing here?

Or maybe you're looking to make more trouble for Miyagi-Do.

If you're looking for teenagers, try the beach district.

My sponsors are paying for this whole trip anyway.

You should take some photos so you can remember your one trip to the big time.

Maybe I'll take a photo of you on the mat at the finals. Knocked out. Next to all of your teeth.

Remember, you have a girlfriend.

We have girlfriends. We love our girlfriends. Think with that head.

Well, how about you, tall man? Do you want to dance?

Is your boyfriend better at kissing than he is at fighting?

Stop that. What? I'm just being friendly.

See any with matching jackets and snakes on them?

Think you can handle it?

You tell him, I'll break your arm.

If you tell her, I will break your neck.

You bring dishonor to karate.

Your long-haired goon put Daniel-san in dog cage.

Whatever you think happened, Cobra Kai had nothing to do with it. I would know.

That's a pretty cool kata. What's it called?

I... I am not supposed to speak with opponent.

We're not on the mat.

It's pretty late to be training.

Always time for training.

What happened to your back?

Nobody's been able to land a point on you yet.

I saw what happened with your sensei.

My sensei wants me to be the best. It's because of him I never lose.

There are other ways of teaching. I mean, I gotta admit, your dojo's pretty great.

Thank you. You're pretty... Your... your dojo's pretty good too.

Mind if I join?

You wanna switch dojos?

Your walk. I was going back to hotel.

I just miss you. I wish you were here.

We're at this little tapas bar. It's pretty cool. I'll show you.

You shady little man-whore.

No need to worry. I'll keep her warm tonight.

Oh, come on. Make a move.

Guess I'll just have to kick your ass on the mat, then. Again.

What the hell do you want?

I took a big leap coming to Miyagi-Do, just to get humiliated because of him.

But if you two can't get past this, then your friends in Spain are gonna have to forfeit.

This is never gonna end until one of you ends it. Someone is gonna have to lose that battle

so you can finally end the w*r. Okay?

I didn't think you needed my support as much as Robby.

He doesn't have what you have.  He's not going to college next year. Sekai Taikai is the biggest thing he's got going for him.

You're my son too.

I've tried my best to get myself together, be a good guy. Things like this happen, and it feels like I could lose everything all over again.

I asked you to go back where you belong.

So call him, sweetheart.

That was a great shot. Good back knuckle.

So, what do you think of Barcelona?

Other than a couple of trips to Disney World, I haven't really been outside of California.

But there's so much world to see. And Barcelona's not such a bad place to start.

And end with fight for the world tournament of karate?

Little rival team play time, huh?

Cobra Kai. Those assholes.

Nice round kick.

Nice counterstrike.

I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea.

Already after curfew. I... I must go. Sorry.

This is not my fault. You were the one dancing with another girl.

You just can't handle that she wanted me over you.

Okay, no one here is jealous. If you don't like facing consequences, maybe don't do shitty things.

Becoming an elite karate fighter. Which you did faster than anyone I know. And I know a lot of people in karate.

So go show them that you are not Shit Butt.  You are Kenny Payne.

A member of the dojo that, with your help, is gonna win the Sekai Taikai.

It'd be pretty cool to come back a world champion.

Hey, can we just talk about this when I get there? I really gotta go.

What do you call, uh, headlock move you use on idiot tourist?

As if I'd give away my secrets to the enemy.

She must have really broken your heart if you let a little flower take you down.

Nothing take me down.

My head is pounding. I barely remember last night.

Thanks for your bravery on that flight.

Karate... is what brought us together. And this is your big chance, Miguel. Go back and finish what you started.

Obviously, this stays between us.

And no one can know what happened on the beach.

Uh, we just crossed paths.

We found man who kidnapped you. Follow him here.

Of course I did. I have questions of my own.

You know, I haven't forgotten about yesterday's as*ault.

Actions have consequences, Daniel. As you're about to find out.

Nice job. You've got them running scared.

Sensei Wolf? You sent this thug to kidnap me? Why?

Because, Danny boy...what would life be without a few surprises?
