Synopsis: Part 1:
Picking up with Cobra Kai eliminated from the Valley, our senseis and students must decide if and how they will compete in the Sekai Taikai – the world championships of karate.
Part 2:
With Tory switching back to Cobra Kai, Miyagi-Do will be competing in the Sekai Taikai tournament while having new rivals and old enemies to deal with as they battle to become world champions — can they stay united as internal rivalries bubble back to the surface?
Part 3:
Granted one final chance to finish the Sekai Taikai, Daniel, Johnny and the team lay it all on the line in the ultimate championship showdown.
The Final Season of Cobra Kai was so good.
Pros: It does still manage to keep its momentum as it progresses. The fights are still good. It shows how this series as became full circle. I waited for it all came together into one full season. The fights are so bad ass and authentic. How well it did finish most of the characters storylines and it full of intense emotion and drama.
Cons: A lot of characters had unnecessary swap round. I don’t like it took slow with it’s pacing. Any plot threads didn’t need to be here. I still didn’t like how this was split into 3 parts & how they mis used Terry Silver.
