Cobra Kai: The 10 Best Moments in the Netflix Series
Cobra Kai immediately became a hit after its initial release, and a sixth and final season is on the way. Let’s take a look at the top 10 moments.
What to Expect from the Final Season of Cobra Kai
In the finale of the fifth season, the alliance between Johnny and Daniel’s dojos worked out, and after an epic battle they managed to defeat Terry Silver and Cobra Kai. However, John Kreese has escaped from prison, so no one is safe in The Valley because, of course, “Cobra Kai will never die.”
In addition, the previous season revealed the existence of a famous, highly prestigious martial arts tournament, something that will surely have a lot of importance in the new episodes. So the final season will surely find Daniel preparing his students for the new tournament, Johnny dealing with his fatherhood, the teens having to work together, and everyone facing Kreese and Cobra Kai when they return.
And if they’re really interested inleaving the door open for future spinoffsfocused on some of the show’s characters, new conflicts will surely arise that will not be resolved to maintain fans' expectations and expand the universe of the series.
Thirty four years after events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, a down-and-out Johnny Lawrence seeks redemption by reopening the infamous Cobra Kai dojo, reigniting his rivalry with a now successful Daniel LaRusso.
Meanwhile, on the big screen, Sony is currently developing anew movie set within boththe theKarate Kidreboot universe starring Jackie Chan andthe Netflix show.
