Meeting Han could help redeem Miyagi in Daniel's eyes
When Karate Kid: Legends confirmed the collaboration between Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan's characters, the 2010 remake was touted as a sequel – with Han's connection to Miyagi coming from Karate Kid II. This led to a theory about the possibility that Daniel and Mr. Han had already met, perhaps through Mr. Notably, Cobra Kai confirms that Miyagi died at age 86, on November 15, 2011, creating a 22-year gap of unknown history between Daniel LaRusso and his mentor, which could have involved Han.

Cobra Kai may still have one last epic cameo with Hilary Swank

Han's introduction will be a central focus in Karate Kid: Legends
As Kwon's (Brandon H. Lee) death changes Cobra KaiHeading into Season 6, the last few episodes will have a lot to deal with, considering they also need to wrap up all of the characters' arcs. Daniel's main focus will likely be uncovering the truth behind the Miyagi incident at the tournament; helping to put an end to Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith); and, hopefully, guiding her students to make peace with what happened. However, if Miyagi's past isn't pleasant, the show could give Daniel LaRusso a bitter ending, perhaps showing him demoralized that karate could cause such tragedy.

The series doesn't have enough time to properly introduce and develop his character, especially since his connections to Miyagi will be addressed for the first time. Instead of having a small participation well before the Karate Kid: Legends In the timeline, which would be anticlimactic, Jackie Chan's introduction deserves to be reserved for when it can be given greater focus. Fortunately, the Karate Kid: Legends trailer confirms that Chan's return will happen later Cobra Kai ends.
