History[]

Season 1[]

Miguel, his mother Carmen, and grandmother Rosa moved into the apartment complex where Johnny lived at. Miguel attempted to introduce himself to Johnny, but Johnny rebuffed him.

Later, while visiting the mini mart to pick up some Pepto-Bismol for his grandma, Miguel accidentally outed Kyler and his cronies as not being college kids when they went to go buy beer. Miguel attempted to apologize, but Kyler and his crew began shoving him around, taking his Pepto-Bismol and pouring it on his head as well as nicknaming him "Rhea" (short for diarrhea). However, after Miguel was shoved onto Johnny's car, Johnny stepped in and beat up Kyler and his gang.

Inspired by Johnny's karate moves, Miguel encouraged Johnny to open up his own karate dojo and teach him karate. Though Johnny initially shot down the idea, he later changed his mind and opened up his Cobra Kai dojo in the mini-mall, inviting Miguel to be his first student. At school, Miguel befriends Eli and Demetri. The dojo would later receive a second student when Aisha joined.

When Kyler began harassing Sam LaRusso and lying by saying she performed oral sex on him, Miguel stepped in and told him to back off. Kyler responded by challenging him to a fight, at which point Miguel used his karate training to beat down Kyler and his three cronies, impressing Sam and the whole lunchroom. The fight was filmed and uploaded to YouTube where it went viral, resulting in tons of publicity for Cobra Kai, and several students including Eli (later goes by "Hawk") and Bert.

Miguel eventually began dating Sam, though their relationship became strained by Sam's father Daniel LaRusso's dislike of Cobra Kai. Later, after getting drunk at a Cobra Kai party in a canyon, Miguel got into a misunderstanding with Sam where he assumed Robby Keene was her boyfriend and accidentally hit her while trying to attack Robby, resulting in their relationship breaking up.

Miguel and Cobra Kai later entered into the All Valley Under 18 Karate Tournament which Robby also entered into as an independent fighter. Miguel and Robby would face off in the final round, though by exploiting an injury Hawk had inflicted on Robby out of turn, Miguel was able to beat Robby and win the tournament for Cobra Kai. As the announcer went up to give Miguel the first place trophy, Miguel dedicated his victory to Johnny Lawrence and Cobra Kai.

Season 2[]

However, Miguel and Hawk were both punished by Johnny for using a cheap shot to win and made to do 50 push-ups on their knuckles. Though initially still hung up over his break up with Sam, Miguel eventually began dating a new Cobra Kai student named Tory Nichols.

After Hawk attacked and vandalized Miyagi-Do and took Mr. Miyagi's medal of honor, Miguel fought Hawk to recover it so he could give it back to the dojo. After defeating Hawk, Miguel took the medal and went to the LaRusso residence to give it back, only to be greeted by Robby. Miguel handed Robby the medal and told him to let Sam know he had given it back, though rather than do that Robby simply dropped the medal in the yard and did not inform Sam that Miguel had returned the medal.

Later though, Miguel and Sam were able to make amends at a party hosted by Moon after Aisha told Sam that Miguel had in fact returned the medal. Sam went to apologize to Miguel for not realizing he was the one who returned the medal and the two ended up kissing, which was secretly seen by Tory.

On the first day of school, Tory went to attack Sam for kissing Miguel. Miguel raced to get to the confrontation to stop her and came in just as Robby Keene had stepped in in an attempt to resolve the fight. However, assuming Robby was trying to harm Sam, Miguel tackled him to the ground. As the whole hallway erupted into fighting, Miguel fought Robby, who was angry at him for kissing Sam and believed he was taking advantage of her. The fight eventually led onto the second floor of the school where Miguel managed to defeat Robby and pin him down. Remembering a speech by Johnny to not confuse "mercy" with "honor", Miguel let Robby go and told him "I'm sorry". However, still bitter over Miguel kissing Sam, Robby attacked Miguel and knocked him over the railing, sending him plummeting to the ground below. The impact of the fall severely injured Miguel and sent him into a coma, necessitating him to be hospitalized.

Season 3[]

In Season 3, he is in a coma after the fall at the end of Season 2. He eventually wakes up and his mother and grandmother are faced with medical bills they can hardly afford. His sensei, Johnny comes to visit him but he is angry at him and blames him for the state he is in, he eventually reconciles with him and works with him to get his legs moving again.

He has irregular methods of physical therapy such as standing out of his wheelchair to grab a swimsuit magazine, and setting a fire under his wheelchair. These methods are unsuccessful but he slowly develops his healing process by tapping his foot at a Dee Snider concert and walks with a harness. He eventually fully gets his legs moving and convinces Johnny to open up a new karate dojo called Eagle Fang, joined by a few former Cobra Kai's who were kicked out by Kreese including Mitch and Bert. He gets back together with Sam.

When the All Valley Tournament gets cancelled because of the school fight and the City Council believes karate is the problem, Miguel steps in and with help from Sam, they deliver a speech together and convinced the council to let the tournament continue. The next day at Miyagi-Do he meets Sam's father, Daniel, and the two learn about each other.

At a house party, Cobra Kai attacks the Miyagi-Do's and he faces his former bully Kyler, a new Cobra Kai. With Kyler's improved fighting skills and Miguel still recovering from his injury, Kyler has the upper hand for nearly the entire fight but Miguel gets enough motivation to regain his kicking and knocks him out with 2 kicks and 1 flipping knockout punch. Now with LaRusso and Lawrence's dojos allied against John Kreese, he is a star student of both.

Season 4[]

However, Johnny and Daniel's combined dojo begins with a rocky start by their different styles feuding with their beliefs. Miguel and Sam decide to try to persuade them to work together. Miguel is able to eventually persuade Johnny by comparing him and Daniel's relationship as Rocky and Apollo from Rocky III. The next day, the students of both Eagle Fang Karate and Miyagi-Do decide to work on building an Okinawan sparring deck that Hawk and Demetri came up with, in which it impresses Johnny and Daniel and decide to work their flaws together.

With Miguel and Sam dating again, Daniel invites Miguel's family over to learn more about each other and their goals with Miguel meeting Amanda LaRusso. Although the night goes well, Miguel spills wine onto Daniel when talking about his college dream. Miguel and the other students of Eagle Fang work with LaRusso on new skills by trying to grab a koi fish from the dojo pond, however, no one is successful in doing so. When leaving, Hawk asks Miguel if he wants to practice, but Miguel says that his mom has to pick him up. Carmen ends up having car trouble and when Daniel hears about it, offers to take care of the car. Daniel drives Miguel to LaRusso Automotive so the two can work on it together.

This in turn, begins to bond Miguel and Daniel. The next day, Miguel comes up with an idea to catch the koi fish by going into the pond and surrounding them. This allows Miguel to be the first one to catch a koi receiving him a Miyagi-Do headband. While this happens, Johnny sees and he becomes jealous of their relationship. After practice, Miguel and Daniel work on Carmen's car again and Miguel learns of the history on Miyagi-Do and Daniel's career. Eventually, Daniel and Miguel finish his mom's car and Daniel tells Miguel to go drop him off at a birthday party where Sam and Amanda are attending. Miguel, who doesn't have a license, obliges and Daniel teaches him. The two bond over music and when Miguel runs a yellow light, Daniel tells him not to do so because it's dangerous. At the next light, Miguel stops, and the two smile.

During school, Miguel and Sam tell Hawk and Demetri that Johnny and Daniel are going to have a rematch to their fight from 1984. Sam and Miguel referee but Johnny and Daniel draw. The two dojos separate and Miguel goes back with Johnny.

The next day, Johnny pulls Miguel out of school to talk in which Miguel still wants things to be the same.

A fight breaks out while partying at Stingray's house and Miguel, Sam and Tory all fall into the pool. That night, Miguel finds a drunken Johnny and helps him to bed.

At West Valley High School, Miguel, Robby, Sam and Tory talk about the tournament and Robby explains that they have champions and runner ups who have a guaranteed selection. Before the tournament, Mike Barnes has the students undergo rigorous training processes. After the first session, Miguel is one of the twelve students who moves on to the next round.

For the captains of Miyagi-Do, Miguel, Robby, Sam, and Tory are chosen for the position, unfortunately there can only be 2 captains, the 2 captains chosen will be the people who fight in the finals of the tournament.

He counters that this was before her mother's death and she initially rejected his offer. Robby tries to get Miguel to back him up, but he doesn't. On the first day of the tournament, Miyagi-Do participates in a Captain’s War fight against Cobra Kai, Iron Dragons, and the Italian dojo, Falchi Della Notte.

After Miyagi-Do struggles on the next day's round, Daniel tells them that they knew this isn't an easy journey. Back to their hotel room, Miguel tells Hawk and Demetri about how he's unsure about Robby advancing despite the latter being captain. The binary brothers tell him that he should've been captain. With Daniel gone to investigate Mr. Miyagi's past, Johnny takes the lead with him telling the students to use more offense. At the tournament, the first batch of Miyagi-Do students fight against the Japanese dojo, Hirobukan, but they lose. Miguel wins but Miyagi-Do is still in the bottom of the rankings. In the locker room, Johnny berates the students for not advancing. Miguel berates Robby for not focusing as captain. He advises him to man up or forfeit the headband to him. In the next event, Miyagi-Do fights the Dublin Thunders with Johnny allowing the students to use Daniel's teachings that results with Miguel taking out their last two students.

Miguel and Johnny learn from Rosa about Carmen's pregnancy situation so they leave Barcelona to visit her. On the flight, Johnny tries to comfort Miguel that Carmen will be fine, but he is upset about Johnny ignoring his victories at the tournament and assumes that he'll miss their new daughter's brith like he did with Robby. He adds he would've been captain with Johnny pointing out that Robby won fair and square before a flight stewardess moves Miguel to the front. After ignoring Johnny, Miguel listens as Johnny apologizes for not being supportive and explains that he didn’t think Miguel needed to be captain as the Sekai Taikai is all Robby has for his future. He also admits that he doesn't make things bad again and calls Miguel his son too. As Miguel accepts his apology, a rude passenger who's been annoying the duo, tries to pick a fight, but Miguel knocks him out. After they land back at LA, Miguel and Johnny arrives at the hospital where the nurse tells them that everything's fine. Carmen praises the two for coming back and that Rosa is there to comfort her, but she tells them to return to Barcelona so they can win.

After Miguel and Johnny pick up Kenny who'll take Devon's spot and arrive back at Barcelona, the trio learn from Miyagi-Do about Terry Silver’s return and he now owns the Iron Dragons dojo. After losing to the local dojo, Furia de Pantera, Miguel has a pep talk with Robby. He reminds him of his success and tells him to be a great leader he is. After Miyagi-Do wins their match against the Brazilian dojo, Redentores, thanks to Kenny's skills and Robby's improved leadership, Miguel and the students have a talk in the locker room about the tournament being the last time fighting together as a team. Miguel hugs Hawk and Demetri after the binary brothers reconcile about their beef with Miguel reminding them they will be always be his friends before he tells them, along with Robby, Sam, Kenny, and Devon that they’re both family and Miyagi-Do. Thanks to a rejuvenated Robby, the students regain their focus. Miyagi-Do advances to the semifinals after defeating Cobra Kai. When Robby and Sam sees Tory walking away in sadness, Miguel assures them that she’ll come around.

At the hotel, Miguel sees Iron Dragon student, Axel Kovacevic, angrily staring at him. Sam tells him about their encounter while he was away and revealed the latter’s attempt to kiss her only for her to reject him. Miyagi-Do then learns about Cobra Kai's reinstatement following the disqualification of the Russian dojo, Tiger Strike. At the beach, Miguel gets upset when he sees Johnny and Daniel bickering again. He convinces them to reconcile from their issues after reminding them of their past success and everything they’ve done together. Miguel joins Robby, Sam, and their sensei's on their training session while exploring different parts of Barcelona in the process. However, during the semifinal match between Robby and Axel, Kwon cheap shots Robby that prompts Miguel to try to aid him, but an angry and jealous Axel pushes him out of the way which results in an all-out brawl between the dojos. During the fight, Miguel duels Axel. Later, Miguel and Robby team up to fight several opponents from other dojos before he tells Robby to aid Tory in fighting the Iron Dragon students. The fight is then stopped when Kwon accidentally impaled himself with Kreese’s knife while he tried to kill Axel much to everyone’s shock.
