Aisha Robinson’s exit from Cobra Kai has been a hot topic among fans ever since her departure, with many wondering if she might return. Her brief mention in Season 6 has reignited interest in her character and fueled speculation about her future in the series. Fans are particularly curious to know why Nichole Brown’s Aisha left Cobra Kai.
Here is everything to know about it.
When and why did Nichole Brown’s Aisha Robinson leave Cobra Kai?
Nichole Brown, who portrayed Aisha Robinson, did not return for Cobra Kai Season 3, leaving many fans disappointed. Aisha was last seen during the school fight at the end of Season 2, where she was involved in the clash between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do students. However, when Season 3 premiered, it was revealed that Aisha had transferred to a private school and was no longer at West Valley High.
Ahead of Season 3, Brown confirmed via a now-deleted Instagram story that she would not reprise her role (via The Direct). She cited that the writers were unsure how to integrate Aisha into the new season’s storyline. Furthermore, with the addition of many new characters, there was no longer a place for her. Although Aisha made a brief return in Season 4, visiting Sam in Santa Barbara, her role was minor. She mentioned that while she had left karate, she still occasionally used her skills in critical situations. Since then, the character has not been part of the series in subsequent seasons.
Could Aisha return in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 or 3?
It has not yet been confirmed whether Aisha will make a return in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 or Part 3. However, Aisha’s mention in Season 6 could be a hint that she might return for the tournament, either as a participant or as a supportive friend.
In Cobra Kai Season 6 Episode 5, titled “Best of the Best,” Sam mentions to Miguel that Aisha has been accepted to the University of California, Santa Cruz. This detail has led fans to speculate whether Aisha might make an appearance in the latter part of the season, especially with the Sekai Taikai tournament on the horizon.
