Cobra Kai Season 6 Ending Explained: Who Wins, Who Dies, and What It Means for Karate Kid’s Future

by

With the airing of season 6, the popular series Cobra Kai has come to a close, wrapping up its lengthy narrative. The last few episodes were packed with gripping battles, poignant scenes, and significant character evolutions.

Let me summarize the finale of the series for you, covering the victories, defeats, and potential directions for the Karate Kid saga moving forward.

In the last episodes, the Sekai Taikai tournament stood out as the main event. Following their switch to Cobra Kai, Tory (Peyton List) and Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) battled it out for their dojo. Tory emerged victorious against Zara from the Iron Dragons, contributing significantly to points for Cobra Kai, as reported by GamesRadar.

In the boys’ final, Miguel initially found himself at a disadvantage against Axel, but a motivational talk from Johnny (William Zabka) sparked a comeback. He ultimately clinched victory with a powerful move after Axel showed hesitation. Since Cobra Kai and the Iron Dragons were evenly matched in points, a decisive match followed between Johnny and Sensei Wolf.

At first, Johnny faced difficulties, but with the motivational boost from Daniel (Ralph Macchio), he found his self-assurance again. He went on to triumph in the match, ensuring Cobra Kai’s win. The dojo then garnered nationwide recognition, even gracing the cover of Sports Illustrated.

The season saw some unforeseen setbacks. Among the major ones were the demise of Terry Silver, portrayed by Thomas Ian Griffith, and John Kreese, played by Martin Kove. Silver orchestrated the abduction of Johnny’s wife and child in an attempt to harm him, but Kreese intervened to prevent it.

A dispute erupted on Silver’s yacht, resulting in a fuel spill. In a dramatic turn of events, Kreese tossed his cigarette onto the boat deck, triggering an explosion that claimed their lives.

In the narrative, the fates of certain characters weren’t directly depicted on screen, yet there was no hint in the end credits to suggest otherwise. Furthermore, it has been affirmed that Kwon perished during the occurrences of the preceding installment.

In the final act, many character storylines reached their conclusions. Chosen journeyed back to Korea to reconnect with Kim. Robby and Tory received enticing offers for martial arts contracts. Sam set off on a one-year assignment to Okinawa, with Miguel by her side.

Johnny acquired a home for his loved ones and assumed control of the original Cobra Kai dojo following Daniel’s grant of the rental agreement. He declared that he would instruct students by combining the teachings of both Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do. Meanwhile, Devon and Anthony prepared for the upcoming All-Valley tournament, while Stingray began leading weekend classes.

In the last scene, Daniel and Johnny eat together, recalling Mr. Miyagi’s wisdom about catching a fly with chopsticks as a metaphor for their distinct yet successful teaching methods. While Daniel couldn’t manage it, Johnny simply crushed it – symbolizing their contrasting but effective styles. The tale of Cobra Kai may have concluded, but its impact lives on.

As an ardent fan, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the upcoming movie, “Karate Kid: Legends,” featuring none other than Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan! There had been whispers of a connection to “Cobra Kai” that had me on the edge of my seat. But, in a recent turn of events, showrunner Jonathan Entwistle spilled the beans—while there were discussions, the film is primarily intended to be a self-contained tale, rather than a direct continuation or link to “Cobra Kai.” Despite this news, I can’t wait to see how these martial arts legends will dazzle us on the big screen!

In the upcoming film, we’ll meet a fresh character named Li Fong, portrayed by Ben Wang. This youngster has been tutored by both Daniel and Mr. Han, with Jackie Chan playing the latter role. Although there might be subtle references to Cobra Kai, the movie’s conclusion does not explicitly build upon the show’s finale.
