Are you ready for all of your Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 1 burning questions to be answered? Or at least as many as I could fit into a 30-minute chat with series creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald? Then you’ve come to the right place. Given Netflix’s three-part release strategy for the final season of the hit series, these first five episodes gave us loads of goings-on to discuss and a significant number of questions regarding what lies ahead for Daniel (Ralph Macchio), Johnny (William Zabka), Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), and the Miyagi-do students.
Season 6, Episode 5 ends with an earth-shattering reveal. Despite all the progress she’s made throughout the show, after the passing of her mother, Tory (Peyton List) chooses to return to John Kreese (Martin Kove) and fight for Cobra Kai in Barcelona. What could that mean for her journey going forward, and where is Kreese in his storyline? Is he well beyond the point of being redeemable? And then, of course, there’s Daniel’s epic realization in the final moments of Episode 5. Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) was at a Sekai Taikai tournament. How is that going to impact how Daniel’s views his longtime mentor and the knowledge that he’s passed down?
Not only do we dig into all of that, but we also touch on Eli’s (Jacob Bertrand) mohawk style for the season, how they crafted that final fight between Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) and Robby (Tanner Buchanan), what to expect from some of the biggest episodes of the season, and loads more.
