Below, we’ll break down the pivotal events from Part 2, filled with SPOILERS ahead…
Episode 6: ‘Welcome to Barcelona’
The opening of Part 2 follows the riveting conclusion of Episode 5, where the Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai students arrive in Barcelona for the internationally recognized Sekai Taikai tournament. Notably, the shocking switch of Tory from Miyagi to Cobra adds a layer of drama to the unfolding storyline.
The episode centers on the fighters acclimating to their new environment, connecting with other competitors, and familiarizing themselves with the tournament’s regulations. Despite his controversial history, Kreese’s presence at the tournament is brush aside with the explanation that all charges against him have been dropped—an easy narrative fix.
Simultaneously, Daniel LaRusso is preoccupied with uncovering the mystery surrounding Mr. Miyagi’s box. His investigation leads him to seek out a legendary martial arts champion, Master Serrano, believed to have insights into his mentor’s past.
As romantic tensions simmer among the younger characters, Tory feels compelled to pause her relationship with Robbie, wishing him the best for the competition. The Sekai Taikai commences with “The Captain’s War.”The fight sequences are both exhilarating and visually stunning, though the Miyagi-Do students struggle to protect their egg, ultimately falling to Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai, however, faces defeat shortly after at the hands of the formidable Iron Dragons and their giant competitor, Axel. A rough start for all teams involved.
The episode concludes with a heartfelt dedication to Chad McQueen, a cherished member of the original Karate Kid crew, who sadly passed away earlier this year.
Episode 7: ‘Dog in the Fight’
This episode launches with an action-packed sequence featuring Zara, a new fan-favorite, as she showcases her skills with the Iron Dragons team, who maintain their dominance in the tournament. However, the core focus remains on Daniel and Johnny’s struggle to coexist as co-coaches.
Daniel’s obsession with Miyagi’s legacy leads to complications, resulting in a bizarre subplot where he finds himself trapped and surrounded by caged dogs, evoking a mix of comedic absurdity and urgency. After processing his escape, Daniel uncovers a clue indicating Kreese’s potential involvement in his recent troubles.
The competitive spirit intensifies as Miyagi-Do faces off against the Dublin Thunder, where Miguel delivers an impressive performance, leading to a well-deserved victory. However, the emotional stakes rise when Johnny receives distressing news about Rosa’s pregnancy complications, forcing him to abandon the tournament and leaving Daniel to manage the team alone.
Episode 8: ‘Snakes on a Plane’
This episode feels somewhat stagnant, marked by a less-than-stellar title that humorously refers to Johnny’s confrontation with a disgruntled passenger on his flight back to the tournament. Romantic entanglements among secondary characters distract from the central competition, while the subplot surrounding Kenny’s involvement feels lackluster.
Fortunately, Rosa makes a comeback, motivating Johnny and Miguel to strive for victory in the tournament. A familiar face returns in Terry Silver, reiterating the yearlong tensions that have kept viewers hooked.
Episode 9: ‘Blood In, Blood Out’
Opening with a revealing flashback, Episode 9 explores how Terry has evaded significant jail time, utilizing offshore funds to secure his position in the Sekai Taikai tournament with plans to undermine Daniel. His involvement in Daniel’s kidnapping adds to the brewing conflicts.
As tournament matchups commence, the excitement builds with high-energy tag-team clashes. Kenny’s loyalty hangs in the balance, yet he earns his place by delivering a stellar performance. A fierce confrontation between Tory and Robbie captures the essence of this bitter rivalry. Robbie ultimately prevails over his newfound adversary, Kwon, further escalating the stakes.
Daniel continues to piece together Mr. Miyagi’s enigmatic past, gaining insights that suggest darker truths about his mentor. Kreese’s ominous declaration towards the end signifies that unresolved conflicts may resurface, setting the stage for escalating tensions.
Episode 10: ‘Eunjangdo’
The finale opens with one of the most unexpected sequences of the season—a dream where Daniel engages in combat with a younger version of Mr. Miyagi. This poignant moment ignites a deeper exploration of Daniel’s unresolved issues with his sensei’s legacy.
Transitioning back to reality, controversy erupts over one dojo’s deceptive tactics, leading to the disqualification of a competing team and the reinstatement for Cobra Kai. As tension flares between Daniel and Johnny, it takes Miguel’s heartfelt intervention to reconcile the two.
The episode culminates in a frenetic training montage throughout Barcelona, culminating in the semi-finals filled with surprising victories. The penultimate skirmish between Robbie and Axel spirals into chaos as injuries mount, igniting an all-out brawl among the participants, teachers, and spectators alike.
In an explosive climax, Kwon discovers Kreese’s knife during the uproar, only for the episode to end with a tragic incident, hinting at grave consequences for the fighters. With Part 1 and Part 2 of Cobra Kai Season 6 now streaming on Netflix, fans eagerly await the upcoming third installment and the anticipated Karate Kid film.
