Cobra Kai never dies! Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 has been an emotional roller coaster, full of conflicts that keep the characters and the audience on edge. This new batch of episodes offers a mix of action, drama, and moments of reflection that culminate in an exciting, if somewhat dark, finale and the promise of an uncertain future for the characters still standing. Ready?
Here we go!
A Disunited Team in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2
Robby’s breakup with Tory in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 is a hard blow for both of them. The two had promised each other to achieve the glory of the Sekai Taikai together but, above all, they had made the promise to be by each other’s side. Always. Tory simply needed to process the death of her mother, but at Miyagi-Do they made it clear to her that she couldn’t do it her way. And that pushed her away and made her start to believe Kreese’s poisonous words. Losing Tory destabilizes Robby to the point where he can’t even win a fight.
However, instead of receiving support from his friends at Miyagi-Do and Miguel, he only receives distrust and complaints. The team sees him as weak and this gets on our nerves. When someone in Miyagi-Do has scre**wed up, especially Miguel, everyone has supported him, no questions asked. But Robby only receives complaints? Pretty unfair if you ask us. Everyone was Robby’s friend but when he needed them the most, all they do is blame him for everything. Friendship doesn’t work that way.
Miguel was the one who made us want to break something with his attitude in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2. He’s the one who says out loud what everyone in Miyagi-Do thinks but it’s clear that he’s still bitter about not being captain. And we’re sorry, but Robby earned it rightfully. Miguel has to get over it. And while it’s understandable that Miguel feels angry at how Robby isn’t taking advantage of the opportunity to be captain of the Sekai Taikai, his attitude is not justifiable.
Yeah, we agree that Robby needed someone to put the dots on the i’s, but having his entire Dojo beat him down is not the way to go. The way is for Miguel to talk to Robby like he did in the last episodes of this part of the season, talking harshly to him, but reminding him that he’s a leader and that he can do this, that he has everyone behind him. So Miguel redeemed himself in our eyes, more or less.
However, the conflict between Miguel and Robby isn’t the only one that tears Miyagi-Do apart in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2. The intense fight bubbling beneath the surface between Dimitri and Hawk also shakes the foundations of Miyagi-Do. The friction that arises between all of them makes it impossible to work as a team, and in a tournament like the Sekai Taikai, where coordination and support are crucial, these conflicts severely affect their chances of winning. The good thing is that, in the end, they all find a way to come together and be the great team that only they can be.

Reflections and Unexpected Returns
For her part, Tory finds herself caught at a crossroads in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2. Kreese remains an important mentor to her, but his view of her as a mere pawn makes her feel bad. Her breakup with Robby changed everything. She always thought that karate, Cobra Kai, was the only thing she had but Robby showed up, she fell in love with him and now that he’s gone, Tory feels… empty. She no longer feels that having a life dedicated to karate, forcing herself not to feel, to give up everything except Cobra Kai is something she wants.
This is where Sensei Kim comes in, who, although she has harsh methods, offers some empathy to Tory. Kim sees herself reflected in her, sees Tory’s potential, and knows that, if she concentrates, Tory can be like her, someone so strong that nothing can destabilize or affect her, someone as hard as ice and as sharp as glass.
But the point is, Tory doesn’t know if that’s what she wants anymore. We think that, even though Kim tries to convince herself that it is worth living like that, far from any emotional connection, the truth is that it isn’t worth it, but she clings to that idea because it’s the only thing she has.
Meanwhile, Terry Silver’s return was set to be epic in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 and it seems promising at first, with his desire for revenge against both Miyagi-Do and his former ally Kreese. Now with the Iron Dragons at his disposal and Sensei Wolf as his pawn, his plan feels ambitious. However, the plot related to Daniel’s kidnapping fails in terms of relevance and development.
Although Silver seems calculating and ruthless, this story feels out of place, distracting from the central plot and not offering a significant impact on the development of the characters. It feels more like a waste of time to avoid a more direct confrontation in this batch of episodes. It’s not a storyline that has a concrete reason for being either. There’s no need for another reason for Daniel to want to finish off Silver.

Facing Revenge in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2
Kenny’s return in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 was eventful. As usual, he was convinced that Anthony was the one who had sabotaged the test where the game to go to Barcelona was played. Everything fit… except that it wasn’t Anthony. Anthony wasn’t a saint, that’s clear, he took the opportunity to, in some way, return all the humiliations to Kenny, but he was not guilty of this. However, neither of them was willing to give in, no matter how much Amanda insisted. There was too much history, too much resentment there.
In the end, Devon ends up confessing everything to Kenny and he discovers the truth about the misunderstandings that fueled his resentment towards Anthony, which leaves Kenny with no weapons to continue his war with Anthony. There is no point anymore. This shows that both Kenny and Anthony have matured enough to learn to let go of their resentment. And it was about time.
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 culminates in an intense and brutal final fight where each character has the opportunity to face their own rival and try to get revenge. Johnny saves Kreese from Terry’s hands. In a sense, Johnny can’t help but still feel a certain affection for Kreese, for that man who Johnny somehow feels saved him, even though he is aware of all the harm he has done to him.
Kwon’s death adds a somber tone to the finale, highlighting the real and devastating consequences of the clashes between dojos and the tragic ending that was destined to happen due to all the anger and rivalry that had built up. This outcome shows how karate has a real cost when it becomes a tool of revenge and power.
In short, this part of the season offers a complex tapestry of emotions, conflicts, and internal struggles. Although some subplots such as Daniel’s kidnapping didn’t reach the expected impact, this part of the season in general focuses on the personal development of the characters and how their relationships evolve. However, it feels more like a preamble to something bigger to come than a complete story told in five episodes.

Other Stuff in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2
- Frankly, at times I wondered why Demetri went to the Sekai Taikai if he thought the whole time that they didn’t have a chance.
- Hawk did nothing wrong. It was Demetri’s choice to be unfaithful to his girlfriend. He made his bed, and let him lie in it.
- Honestly, we don’t understand Axel and Zara’s obsession with Sam and Robby. We understand Axel more because Sam is the only one who has shown him kindness and compassion but it’s too obsessive to confront Miguel like that just because he’s pissed that he’s Sam’s boyfriend.
- However, Axel saved Sam so we’ll overlook certain worrying signs.
- Zara’s attitude is a huge red flag. Why so much hate and aggression? Chill, sweetheart.
- “You choose her over me?” “Without a second thought.” LOVE IT.
- We felt that the dynamic between Johnny and Daniel needed more development because of the way it ended in part 1. They just tied together in a fragile way and then went back to fighting as usual, for the same reasons as always.
- We don’t understand why they introduced Carmen’s medical problem. It just created drama and wasted time, interrupting what was happening at the Sekai Taikai. It’s like they didn’t know what to do with Carmen’s character and did this when they could have used it to develop the dynamic between Johnny and Daniel.
- The only good thing about the storyline about Carmen’s medical problem is seeing father-son scenes between Johnny and Miguel.
- Kenny forgave Devon too quickly. We wouldn’t have been so pragmatic.
- Daniel needs to stop putting Mr. Miyagi on a pedestal. Seriously. The man was human, not a saint. And he made some very serious mistakes, when he met Daniel he was trying to be better. Daniel needs to get over it.
- Chozen and Kim? WE NEED MORE OF THEM!
- “Mistake.” Chozen, you dug your own grave…that hurt Kim.
- We all knew Cobra Kai was going to make it to the finals no matter what.
- Amanda is still a Queen.
- The final fight was brutal and even though Kwon was a jerk in every episode, his death caught us by surprise. Those last seconds of the episode left us speechless. WHAT A FIGHT!
- We need Part 3 NOW!
Cobra Kai season 6 Part 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
