Will Miguel Diaz be paralyzed in Cobra Kai season 3?

Netflix has released the teaser trailer for Cobra Kai season 3, and, although it's only about 20 seconds long, it reveals some crucial information about the upcoming season.

On the season 2 finale, entitled "No Mercy" after the final tenet of the Cobra Kai motto, an explosive brawl between Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do plunges the school into chaos. The fight focuses on the season's main conflicts, and it particularly focuses on the bad blood between Miguel and Robby. The climax of the battle comes when Robby brutally kicks his nemesis off a balcony after Miguel attempts to show mercy. The blow sends Miguel tumbling directly onto the railing far below him, and this harsh landing seriously injures him. At the end of the episode, Miguel is on life support, and his future looks bleak.

Miguel's injury is clearly going to have ripple effects in the world of Cobra Kai. Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, is dealing with a ton of guilt over what happened to his young student. But perhaps the biggest question on fans' minds is what is going to happen to Miguel himself.

The season 3 teaser gives us some answers, but not much. It shows that Miguel is still in a hospital bed wearing extensive medical equipment, but it leaves the question of his overall health a mystery. The teaser also shows Miguel opening his eyes, so at the very least, fans now know that he wakes up at some point in season 3. The clip conspicuously doesn't show him moving any limbs, however. Based on the fight in the finale of season 2 and the glimpse of Miguel in the teaser, it seems entirely possible, if not probable, that he's paralyzed. The trailer doesn't confirm Miguel's condition one way or the other, but because he took a nasty fall and landed right on his back, it's fair to assume that he's hurt pretty badly.

Even before the teaser trailer arrived, many fans were predicting that Miguel will be paralyzed in season 3. Miguel's fall clearly caused a lot of damage, as it caused doctors to put Miguel on life support. Falling from a balcony and crashing onto a hard railing probably broke some bones or severely damaged Miguel's spine, and paralysis would be a likely result from these injuries.

Still, it's also fair to have an optimistic view of Miguel's injuries. Right now, fans only know that he's badly injured, and the specifics of his condition are unknown. With so much room for doubt, there's no way to know how serious his condition is. People walk away from frightening falls all the time. Plus, like any television show, Cobra Kai isn't firmly restricted by the laws of reality. It's entirely possible that Miguel will emerge from the hospital bed with his ability to walk fully intact. Sure, that probably won't happen, but it's possible. Keep watching the video to as we wonder, will Miguel Diaz be paralyzed in Cobra Kai season 3?
