Cobra Kai has officially concluded, revealing the ultimate victor among Miyagi-do, Cobra Kai, and Iron Fist in the Sekai Taikai, the ‘Tournament of Champions.’ This showdown serves as the centerpiece of the series, echoing the deep-rooted rivalry between Karate Kid’s Daniel LaRusso and his adversary, Johnny Lawrence, all while showcasing the drama unfolding among their students across rival dojos.
Throughout its run, Cobra Kai has maintained a focus on the fierce competition that defines karate culture, reminiscent of the original Karate Kid films. The first film featured the All-Valley tournament, while its sequel transported viewers to Okinawa. Season 6 Part 2 escalated the action to Barcelona, hosting the Sekai Taikai. However, the narrative took an unexpected turn, culminating the tournament back in the Valley where it all began for Daniel and Johnny during Season 6 Part 3. Here’s a look at how this thrilling conclusion unfolds.SPOILERS ahead…
The Champion of the Sekai Taikai: Who Prevails?
After an intense series of matches filled with drama, unexpected turns, and high-octane karate action, Cobra Kai emerges victorious in the Sekai Taikai Tournament of Champions, earning the title of the top dojo in the world.
The action kicks off with individual bouts, starting with Cobra Kai’s Tory overcoming Iron Fist’s Zara in what many fans consider the standout fight of the series. In a fierce display of skill, Tory delivers an unforgiving blow, declaring, “Welcome to the Valley, b*tch, ” as she secures her victory.
Next up is Miguel, representing Cobra Kai against Axel of Iron Fist. Although he initially faces difficulties, the turning point comes when Axel is ordered to break Miguel’s back. In a remarkable comeback, Miguel unleashes a series of powerful combinations, ultimately delivering a head kick that seals his victory, leveling the scores between the two dojos.
With the individual matches tied, the focus shifts to the Sensei’s confrontation: Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai against Wolf from Iron Fist. At first, it appears that Wolf has the upper hand, dominating Johnny. However, with some timely advice from Daniel to “kick the living sh*t” out of his opponent, Johnny recalibrates his strategy.
Learning from past mistakes, Johnny carefully observes Wolf’s movements, seizing the perfect moment to counter, knocking him to the ground. He swiftly gets back on his feet, delivering a decisive strike to claim the final point and secure victory for Cobra Kai.
In a symbolic moment of reconciliation, former rivals Johnny and Daniel lift the championship trophy together, marking the completion of their transformative journeys.
Resolution of Cobra Kai’s Character Arcs
The series finale also focuses on providing closure for the diverse cast of characters. Notably, the overarching villains John Kreese and Terry Silver seemingly meet their fates when Silver’s boat erupts in flames during the penultimate chapter.
After the high-stakes tournament, the students of Miyagi-do and Cobra Kai begin new chapters in their lives. Demetri and Eli head off to university, while Miguel tags along with Sam on her journey to Okinawa. Meanwhile, Tory and Robby embark on careers in the karate tournament circuit, and sparks fly between Chozen and Kim Da-Eun, leading to their budding romance.
A twist in Daniel’s past comes to light when his mother discloses that the man killed was a guard who stole from Daniel’s late wife, suggesting that Miyagi acted in self-defense. This narrative thread may be expanded in the upcoming Karate Kid: Legends movie.
On a personal note, Johnny invests in a new home for his wife, Carmen, and their baby daughter, Laura. As Cobra Kai continues to flourish, the dojo opens a second location, integrating Miyagi-do’s defensive techniques with Cobra Kai’s aggressive strategies. The series culminates in a serene scene where Johnny and Daniel share lunch, putting their contentious history behind them and cementing a newfound friendship.
