When last we left the karate-obsessed populace of the valley in season 5, Daniel (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny (William Zabka) were merging their dojos and preparing for the international Sekai Taikai tournament.
Cobra Kai returns to the mindset that nothing is more important than a tournament; it’s just a much larger scale than ever before.
Season 6, part 1 feels as though it returns the kids to being nothing but karate machines once again with little room for personal growth. One of them does go through significant, highly unexpected, changes. But that you’ll just have to wait to learn more about. The adults, on the other hand go through many changes, with Daniel in particular discovering a rather large mystery about Mr. Miyagi that he is anxious to solve.
As with each season, some cast members from the films do have some time in the story, but there are no surprise appearances this time around. It feels as though after season 5 there was just no one left to add to the cast.
This set of five episodes is difficult to judge because it is clearly the first act of a much larger story. Part 2 will arrive on Nov. 28, and part 3 will arrive sometime in 2025. There is also an issue with just how often you will hear the words “Sekai Taikai” uttered throughout. It borders on being a greeting at some points.
If you’ve enjoyed the first five seasons of Cobra Kai, there is absolutely no reason not to come back for another helping. This season continues to deliver the same thrilling karate action and character development that you love.
SCORE: 7 out of 10
