Though being made fun of by Johnny, he is one of the students who didn't quit. He along with Tim were one of the students who flinched causing all the Cobra's except Miguel and Aisha to get punched in the face. He, along with many other Cobra Kai's are shown training in the junkyard and was chased after by the dogs. The night before the All Valley Karate Tournament, Edwin was invited to the part at the cliff and was seen drinking and partying. More than likely he saw Miguel and Sam break up that night. On the day of the All Valley, he hears Johnny’s speech about No Mercy and is one of the students who ran out chanting Cobra Kai. It is unknown how far he made it into the tournament as he isn't shown competing along with many other students, implying he may have been knocked out by a rivaling dojo during the preliminaries since he was still starting off as a rookie fighter. He is still shown watching the matches and even celebrates when Miguel Diaz defeats Robby Keene in the finals, putting Cobra Kai back into the spotlight.

### Cobra Kai (Season 2)

He is seen behind Hawk and Aisha with Abe and Kev. The next day, he along with the other Cobra Kai's goof off and get scolded by Johnny. The following day when John Kreese enters the Dojo he along with the other Cobra Kai's are confused about why he is there. Nonetheless Edwin is seen goofing off again during the warm-up sequence which provokes Johnny. He is seen at the cement yard though he isn't one of the students who turned the truck. During the making of the Cobra Kai commercial, Edwin can be seen in the back and is later seen during Valley Fest. After that, he is seen during Tory and Miguel's fight and surprised to see Tory win. Though hearing Daniel's speech, Edwin is one of the students who stay loyal to Johnny and Kreese. After Johnny had to go visit his dying friend in the hospital, Edwin can be seen during the intense training montage. During the Coyote Creek challenge, Edwin is shown to be on the red team with Kreese and is shown to be eliminated, though it is unknown who did so. The day before school started Edwin was at Moon's party and was shown drinking and having a good time. He was surprised to see Miyagi-Do show up. Nonetheless he still had a great time, during this event, it is shown he is a good street dancer. During the school Brawl, he is shown to fight Abe, a former friend who defected to Miyagi-Do. Though it is unknown how well he did during the fight. One thing is for sure he saw Miguel fall off the balcony and smash his back before Edwin's very eyes. He along with many other Cobra Kai's sided with Kreese after the school brawl leaving Johnny.

### Cobra Kai (Season 3)

He is first shown with Hawk and other Cobra Kai's when Hawk is confronted by Demetri and Sam. He is next shown walking with Hawk and other Cobra Kai's on the school field. During the soccer game, the Miyagi Do's and Cobra Kai's get aggressive, but Edwin isn't shown fighting. Fortunately, for Edwin and the other Cobra Kai's, they don't get in trouble. In the arcade fight, Edwin is shown arriving with Tory and Big Red and he finally has dialogue after joining the Mitch Doug Rickenberger, and Mikey in pressuring Hawk to break Demetri's arm. The next time he is shown is in the dojo, when Kyler, Brucks, and some other potential recruits arrive. He witnesses Kyler defeat Mitch and Hawk defeat Bruck's. He is next shown at the cafeteria with Hawk and some other Cobra Kai's when Hawk tells Mitch to get lost since the latter was kicked out of Cobra Kai for losing to an untrained Kyler. He is then shown in the hallway with Hawk and some other Cobra Kai's when Johnny tries to persuade them to join his new dojo Eagle Fang Karate. After that, he is shown with Hawk, the other Cobra Kai's, and Kreese at the park, when Kreese attempts to convince Johnny to rejoin Cobra Kai. He and the other Cobra Kai's are then shown being trained by Kreese at Cobra Kai. He is last seen in Cobra Kai when Hawk walks toward Kreese and his enemy Robby Keene. He is not seen in the fight at Sam's house, but it can be assumed that he is still loyal to Kreese and ended his friendship with Hawk after he defected from the dojo.

### Cobra Kai (Season 4)

Edwin continued to train with Cobra Kai alongside his fellow teammates including Kyler, Tory, Robby Keene, and newcomer Kenny Payne as the tournament was approaching. At one point, he and Kyler watch Bloodsport at a drive in theater, alongside Kenny Payne and Tory Nichols. He and the rest of Cobra Kai then encountered the Miyagi-Do's while the movie still played, where Miguel Diaz informed Edwin and the rest of Cobra Kai to meet them at the baseball field. However, it turns out Miyagi-Do wasn't there and that he and the rest of Cobra Kai were drenched by sprinklers.

Edwin still continued attending Cobra Kai Dojo, especially when Terry Silver became Kreese's co-sensei and when new members including Piper were recruited due to a change in rules in the tournament allowing a girls' competition to be involved. He also attended the Junior Prom with Kyler and his teammates.

During the tournament, Edwin is shown watching matches, though he doesn't participate in the final divisions presumably because he was defeated in the preliminaries either by Miyagi Do, Eagle Fang, or a different dojo. He and his teammates later celebrate when Tory Nichols defeats Sam in the girls' final, which gives Cobra Kai the grand championship, and is later shown outside celebrating with Kyler and the rest of their teammates as he schedules a victory party at his house. But unbeknownst to Edwin, Terry bribed the referee to ensure Tory would win.

## Personality

Though little is known about his personality, he is shown to be a very aggressive and that he is a follower more than a leader. This is predominantly shown when he, and other Cobra Kai students, carry out dirty work John Kreese and sometimes even Hawk. Just like most Cobra Kai students, Kreese's merciless methods didn't sit with him at first. But he as learned to accept his way of teaching. Edwin's attitude costs him his friendship with Abe, which makes him more impulsive and reckless in fights.

## Fighting Style

Edwin is actually one of the best fighters in the new Cobra kai dojo, as well as one of the most powerful fighters in Hawk's gang

He has shown a good amount of strength which he demonstrates during the school brawl when he is shown fighting Abe throughout the fight. He is able to overpower his enemies during fights by using his body strength, this was shown during the soccer game against Miyagi-Do. Though during this fight he does loose.

His fighting style seems to mostly incorporate punches, kicks and using his overall body strength to take down and defeat his opponents. During his fights, he is shown to be aggressive and just as he is taught he shows no mercy. This was evidently shown during the school brawl, when him and Abe going at each other.

Overall Edwin is one of the most powerful and strongest fighters at Cobra Kai, with Kreese topping him as one of the top 8 most powerful fighters.
