The premiere date for the ultimate episodes of Cobra Kai has been introduced!
After six seasons, Netflix’s Cobra Kai is lastly coming to an finish, with the streamer asserting February thirteenth because the premiere date for the ultimate episodes. Dubbed “The Finale Event”, these 5 episodes purpose to wrap up the entire present’s main storylines prematurely of Sony’s Karate Child: Legends, which comes out this summer time. That eagerly anticipated movie is anticipated to be one thing of a standalone, with solely Ralph Macchio’s Daniel LaRusso confirmed as a part of the forged (thus far) whereas Cobra Kai showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are uninvolved.
SPOILERS AHEAD for Season 6 Half II!
The ultimate episodes choose up within the wake of a catastrophe on the Sekai Taikai, the place an all-out brawl between the rival dojos resulted within the dying of Kwon, one of many season’s fundamental villains. The Netflix synopsis states, “After a shocking result in the Sekai Taikai, Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai must reckon with their pasts while facing an uncertain future both on and off the mat. Almost 40 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament, it’s all been leading to this.”
Given the first-look pictures (see them beneath), it seems to be just like the gang will nonetheless be combating within the Sekai Taikai, which strikes me as a little bit exhausting to swallow, given how somebody really died in what’s primarily a match for youngsters. However, I’ve to confess that Cobra Kai is one in every of my favorite present reveals, with every bite-sized half-hour episode all the time a blast. The present began on YouTube Purple again in 2018 however exploded in recognition as soon as Netflix picked it up. Probably the most rewarding issues is the way it gave William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence, who was initially this two-dimensional eighties villain, new life as arguably the present’s fundamental protagonist whereas additionally launching the profession of Blue Beetle star Xolo Maridueña. It’ll be unhappy to see the present wrap up its run, though I’ll admit that season six, which could have run fifteen episodes by the point all is alleged and performed, has gone on a little bit too lengthy. Hopefully, they stick the touchdown.
