CARE, SPOILER ALERT. After Kwon Jae-Sung’s death (Brandon H. Lee) at the end of the Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3, the Sekai Taikai was canceled and the protagonists of the popular Netflix series returned home. However, the tournament resumes in the last episodes and the dojo led by Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), and Chozen (Yuji Okumoto) have one last chance to demonstrate that their combat style can lead them to victory. The story that started at the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament comes to an end after 40 years. Who wins the competition? Next, I will tell you the most important moments.

For his part, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) meets with Gunther Braun (Carsten Norgaard) to convince him to resume the tournament. The host of the international tournament accepts, but only if all the sense is agreed.

The Sekai Takai resumes at All-Valley with more media attention and with the fight between Robby and Axel. Despite his fears and doubts, Johnny’s son overlaps and manages to demonstrate that he is as strong as his adversary. Seeing the rival regain ground and threaten to win, Sensei Wolf (Lewis Tan) orders his student to strike a lethal blow.

Who Won the Sekai Taikai?

Kreese shows up at All-Valley to apologize to Johnny for all his mistakes. After an emotional hug, John leaves his favorite student as Cobra Kai‘s sensei and names Miguel as Kwon’s replacement (Everything is possible because they are former members of the dojo). Of course, the news infuriates Silver, but he has no choice but to accept and pressure Wolf to win. When Zara and Tory get on the mat, the Iron Dragons representative gets into Tory’s head and makes her lose focus of the fight. Thanks to Robby’s words and kiss, the representative of Cobra Kai regains control and prevails over his rival. The following are Miguel and Axel, who despite the pressure of his sensei, decide to fight cleanly. And Miguel gets the victory. However, it is not the end of the Sekai Taikai, as Cobra Kai and the Iron Dragons are tied in score. Everything is defined by a fight between the senseis, Wolf, and Lawrence. Who will win? Although Daniel and Chozen are dedicated to training Johnny, he does not seem focused, as he fears that the story of his failure will repeat itself.

Terry Silver is unwilling to risk victory, so he orders Johnny’s newborn daughter to be kidnapped. However, Kreese arrives in time to curb his plans. They both face off on Silver’s yacht and after an arduous fight, they die in an explosion caused by John himself. The teacher sacrificed himself to protect his students. The big day is coming and Johnny seems more confident, but a visit from Wolf ends with no motivation. In the mat, Lawrence is not able to hit a good shot until Daniel reminds him of what Cobra Kai means. With his renewed confidence, Johnny becomes the champion, along with his dojo. Victory opens doors for everyone. Robby and Tory receive a karate-related job offer. Miguel is accepted to Stanford and Sam goes to study in Okinawa. Hawk and Demetri go to Caltech. Daniel clarifies some doubts about Miyagi’s past. Johnny buys a house for his family and reopens the Cobra Kai dojo.

Kreese’s Death and the Sacrifice Johnny Never Knew

One of the most shocking moments of the end is the death of John Kreese, who sacrifices himself to protect Johnny. In a desperate attempt to secure his team’s victory, Terry Silver orders the kidnapping of Johnny’s family, but Kreese, anticipating his movements, infiltrates the ship where the plan is orchestrated. In a brutal scene, Kreese kills one of Silver’s henchmen and confronts his old rival in a final match. Even though Silver has an advantage, Kreese decides to end everything unexpectedly: he throws a lit butt over a puddle of gasoline, causing an explosion that consumes them both. Thus, two of Karate Kid’s greatest villains disappear in a warrior-worthy ending, although Johnny never learns of the sacrifice of his former master.

What About Daniel and Johnny at the End of the Series?

After the tournament, Johnny officially recovers the Cobra Kai dojo thanks to an agreement that Daniel negotiates with the owner of the mall. Meanwhile, Daniel decides to continue with Miyagi-do, understanding that being sensei is part of his life. Although each continues to teach in their way, they both agree on a new system in which students can train in both dojos, ensuring they learn both attack and defense.

Mr. Miyagi’s Redemption and the Mystery of His Past?

One of the most emotional moments of the end occurs when Daniel’s mother tells him the truth about Mr. Miyagi’s mysterious “crime” in 1947. Turns out, he was not a criminal but instead beat a guard at a Japanese internment camp who had stolen a necklace belonging to his wife. This puts an end to Daniel’s doubts about his mentor and confirms that his honor was always intact.

What about the Cobra Kai and Miyagi-do Students?

Students who have grown up throughout the series take different paths:

• Miguel finally manages to fulfill his dream of studying at Stanford.
• Sam going to an educational program in Okinawa.
• Hawk and Dimitri study together at CalTech.
• Robby and Tory decide to dedicate themselves professionally to karate, traveling the world doing exhibitions.
• Kenny, Anthony, and Devon continue to train in the dojos of Johnny and Daniel, ensuring the continuity of the legacy of both teachers.

The post-credit scene suggests that Anthony and Devon could exchange dojos for the next All Valley, leaving open the possibility of future fighting.

Will There Be a Continuation after Cobra Kai?

Although the series ends in a closed way, there are clues that the Karate Kid universe could continue. A new Karate Kid film in development has been confirmed, and while it is not yet known whether it will be related to Cobra Kai, the legacy of karate in the Valley seems far from over.

Conclusion of “Cobra Kai”

The end of Cobra Kai offers a satisfactory closing, with each character finding their own way and with Johnny and Daniel reaffirming their evolution as teachers and friends. The series strikes a balance between nostalgia and the evolution of history, giving us emotional farewells, epic battles, and the feeling that Karate Kid’s legacy is still more alive than ever.
