Cobra Kai: Ranking Every Character Worst To Best

6. Demetri

He may be nerdy as all hell, sure, yet Demetri is a kind teenager simply mourning the loss of his friends. Granted, they're still alive, but we reckon losing your chums to a violent karate dojo is a fate worse than death as far as high school problems go. Right?!

Wanting to join Cobra Kai as a means of saving his failing relationship with Hawk, Demetri is soon met by the sadistic John Kreese. And on entering the Cobra Kai dojo, Demetri doesn't do himself any favours. Demetri lectures Kreese on the importance of respecting his personal space, only to break his own rule by pointing out the sensei's anatomically incorrect spitting cobra tattoo. Rookie mistake, bro.

What's the only thing worse than making fun of a dude's tat? The unsolicited touching of said tat. Although more than a little sore over his bloody nose, Demetri's lucky he walked out of Cobra Kai at all. But we can chalk that one up to youthful inexperience.

Even if he comes across as a complete wiseass, Demetri's heart is rarely in the wrong place. Hang in there, buddy. It gets better.
