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 saying February thirteenth because the premiere date for the ultimate episodes. Dubbed “The Finale Occasion”, 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 season. 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 (to this point) whereas Cobra Kai showrunners Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg are uninvolved.
SPOILERS AHEAD for Season 6 Half II!
The ultimate episodes decide up within the wake of a catastrophe on the Sekai Taikai, the place an all-out brawl between the rival dojos resulted within the demise of Kwon, one of many season’s principal villains. The Netflix synopsis states, “After a surprising end result within the Sekai Taikai, Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai should reckon with their pasts whereas dealing with an unsure future each on and off the mat. Nearly 40 years after the occasions of the 1984 All Valley Karate Event, it’s all been resulting in this.”
Given the first-look photos (see them under), it appears just like the gang will nonetheless be combating within the Sekai Taikai, which strikes me as a bit of onerous to swallow, given how somebody truly died in what’s basically a event for youngsters. Nonetheless, I’ve to confess that Cobra Kai is certainly one of my favorite present exhibits, with every bite-sized half-hour episode at all times a blast. The present began on YouTube Crimson again in 2018 however exploded in recognition as soon as Netflix picked it up. Some of the 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 principal 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 claimed and accomplished, has gone on a bit of too lengthy. Hopefully, they stick the touchdown.
