Cobra Kai season 6 Part 2 Review
Cobra Kai has always balanced light-hearted comedy and high stake situations very well. Over the course of its 6 seasons, the stakes have constantly been raised. That will all conclude in a grand finale that the show has been building for years; a world tournament.
In part 2 of a three part finale, The teams are set and everyone is ready for the start of The Sekai Tekai. A world tournament means we are going to get introduced to Dojo's from all over the world. Up until now, Miagi-Do and Cobra Kai have been too preoccupied with each other to even realize that there may be stronger fighters out there. One of the newest threats is a Dojo named The Iron Dragon. Led by Sensei Wolf (Lewis Tan) His two captains are Axel (Patrick Luwis) and Zara (Rayna Vallandingham) all three are threats to both the Sensei's and everyone competing in the tournament.
With so many talented fighters, you feel a sense of immediate improvement with the fight choreography and the many different fighting styles everyone brings to the table. All of these new fighters help elevate Cobra Kai and make the fighting feel that much more realistic. Zara is an absolute menace. She is unpredictable, roughtless and extremely skillful. Rayna adds such a unique dynamic to the female side, something that has been lacking in previous seasons with the constant back and forth between Sam and Tory.
These five episodes pack a lot of story in such a short time-frame but it manages to add enough depth to each character all while adding additional cast members. It does so at the expense of Students not able to attend the tournament but it is a worthy exchange for some fresh blood.
Every season there is a new mystery added to the Miagi backstory. Typically it has been used to help further Daniel’s story but this season, it affects everyone.
These five episodes are by far some of the best episodes in the whole series. It is all thanks to the story finally pushing its characters into territory not yet visited and so many new talented fighters adding their unique styles to the story. Be prepared for some shocking twists, some excellent matches and a jaw-dropping finale that will leave you speechless.
Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 is available on Netflix today
