It was very unnecessary to make Daniel and Johnny going back to being against each other after everything they’ve been through. It’s because the writers don’t have anything new to make use of their friendship that was developed last season.
@@bobbyjohnson9409same Here and with you on that (kinda). As much as I would love for it to go for another season or 2 till they can put to a point to really end the series, that way to remove any flaws they might have and not rush it out to stretch this season to 15 episodes, and have like 20-30 more (than call it enough) for at least more smooth story along with the characters we love, and more comedy (but not too far plot lines within the episodes. Ex. Johnny’s scene at dealership in ep. 5). I see the hugest flaws of what has occurred and what would have been like if they had that approach before (to begin with). (See how this season would’ve been, if it wasn’t the series finale). And again. Like any Great Tremendous series that’s always close to perfect (no movie/show/or series is perfect) you can’t overstay your welcome. And this one is no accept ion based on what it’s throwing at us.
I agree it was totally pointless. Even Tory rejoining Cobra Kai after the wholesome moment between her and Sam in episode 3 and when they had finally started developing a friendship.
And they just have made Daniel so dumb at this point. In season 4, he finally understood Eagle Fang wasn't that bad. So why is he so hellbent against it again? Every time Johnny takes time to teach the kids, in the only way he knows how, he continues to freak out.. We saw that in season 4, when he didn't accept it. Or did reluctantly... Okay, we get it... It was a new thing for Daniel. But he's been around Johnny long enough to know his ways and to have just accepted it by now... Otherwise, why are they still working together? But now he's not again? WTF. Why are they repeating the same DAMN thing again, like this is the first time Daniel has ever worked with Johnny. This is just beyond annoying at this point.
He WAS the bad boy of Karate, he was banned a million years ago. For good reasons and was into furniture making after. I did martial arts as a teen, doesn't mean I could beat someone now who was my level back then and picked up training while I didn't.
Ya no. Mike Barnes was a 9th degree black belt at 17 which is impossible but whatever. mike has faces every type of fighter there is,He should easily overpower Johnny. Johnny has got back into training 2 years ago. Also I would buy the Mike has been out of the game excuse more if we literally didn't just see him fight in season 5 against Chozen and easily beating the Fist
@gjjijji 😂Johnny is better then Mike daniel better then Mike chosen better then Mike silver better then Mike kreese better then Mike Mike Barnes is a bad fighter and out of all the senses in cobra kai 1Chosen= johnny 2 daniel 3 silver 4 kreese 5 kim de Un 6 Mike barnes
@@gjjijji : Yeah, they crapped all over Mike. He was the GOAT of the OG enemies, and now he's just a cardboard cutout. The argument was always Chozen vs Barnes. Daniel and Johnny were not even in the mix.
Johnny beating Mike Barnes was the best thing in the entire first part of s6. To finally make clear who's the goat and who's just a soulless attempt to create a character that is like the goat but it never worked because he was just a one dimensional monster and I would never have accepted a tie between them as a symbol that they're equal because they're not and never will be.
Burning questions for parts 2 and 3: 1. Why did Miyagi keep all that incriminating stuff, and then just bury it? 2. Will we find out what Terry was doing in the hospital in Season 5? 3. What really happened at Applebees with Johnny? 4. If the Sekai Takai is basically Part 2, then what will the final five episodes be about? 5. Will Silver show up in parts 2 and 3? What about Miguel's Dad? Snake, Dennis, or even Dutch? I don't really care about Julie Pierce (especially if the spoiler rumors about her are true - lame IMHO), but would love to see all the others. Bringing them all back to the Sekai Takai in one way or another would be pretty awesome, I think.
There is an other problem with Johny and Mike fight : it’s completely pointless especially since Johny and Mike doesn’t have any connection to each other that could justify a conflict between them.
@@FranG1214 Basically like another for the fans type of fight thing. (Like chozen vs Barnes), however the way that was in there, it did work for the way the episode played out along with the fans. And the story itself. This one just sort of adds to more of how toxic Johnny is becoming now. There are a lot that he has coming his way, yes, (Like a practice of him and Devon) cause he’ll be a girl dad along the way while also being a dad to Robby and Miguel. However, those two elements are way too completely separate. Yes he wants the best for who he cares bout most, but this is the Seikai Taikai we’re talking bout. Either he doesn’t see it the way how Barnes is judging it, or he does but still not care from minding his own business to what he’s doing to judge best of the best, instead of just results from the foot race. Another thing, yes, he did beat up 5 of silvers goons, but doing so after getting beaten up that much. Uhh, yeeeahhh 😬no matter how strong the dynamic he was, yeeeah, we’ll leave it as it is, cause it’s behind us. Plus, Barnes should’ve never lose to Johnny like ever. Sure Johnny picked up techniques along the way, but don’t you think Barnes would’ve known those types by now along with his fighting techniques. Yeah, everything’s just becoming so frustrating.
Johnny and daniel arguing, demetri being a dick to hawk and tory switching again was just frustrating and disappointing to be honest. The first two can fix but i dont know how tory switching is going to be justified.
Daniel will make Tory understand for what he had did and could have done something else to make her fight with balance next time. Johnny will be sorry for not showing sympathy for Tory's loss and share his story about his mom.
It doesn't even make sense, she literally said she doesn't trust Kreese. Because of her mom dying, she's so in grief, she's going to just make that big of an illogical decision? I bet that's the angle they go, and it's really stupid.
Don't forget Devon, probably one of the most likable newer characters, being a super villain now and poisoning Kenny with laxatives so he can poop himself and not take her spot. That was just a super weird scene. Taking too many can actually kill someone. How horrible does that make her, to do that, just to make the team. The show has become really strange. How do you redeem her character after that? I would never, ever, forgive someone if they did that to me. That is super evil. Just to make the team. Her character is forever horrible now.
My biggest problem right now is the stakes. Since they don't know Cobra Kai is entering then it makes character motivation weird. The Tournament is held every 2 years so its not like they can't enter again. So things Devon poisoning Kenny? Robby feeling like he's got nothing if he doesn't win this time, Daniel getting mad that Johnny about the best team but if they lose nothing happens and at the same time Daniel wanted Anthony to go? If they don't know Cobra Kai is going why is it so important they win this time?
@@gjjijji it’s the series finale. Plus it’s still opportunity from spreading cobra Kai around the globe if they win. Especially if silver is entering back into the mix, hidden somewhere behind the shadows. Just because he was taken out at end of season 5, doesn’t mean he’s out for good. He will still easily get out of jail due to the best lawyers he has, then enter the tournament (partnering with iron dragons or someone). And if win, can use that to spread out the name, but still call it as Cobra Kai, or just “Silver”. Along with bragging rights. Cause remember. Cobra Kai, Never Dies. We’ll, we’ll see how it’s settled on the mat, it is due or die for all Dojos Now, along with history rights, and to settle Once and for All.
Nice breakdown. I do think the segmented release schedule makes it tougher to evaluate. Like you mentioned, there were several things I didn't think were that great in Part 1, but I'm willing to at least partly reserve judgment until we see the finished product and how and whether some of these issues are resolved. Perhaps some of these will make more sense in the context of the rest of the season and the entire series. My biggest problem with Part 1 so far is: why in the hell would Mr. Miyagi save all this random incriminating stuff? To remind himself of what not to be or who he was? Then why would he have buried it? It seems to all be just a mcguffin for Daniel's character arc, but not much else. Perhaps we will find out he has some connections to Master Kim or to even to Kwon, but I think that'd only be mildly interesting and also a little lame in a Star Wars-esque kind of way. Hopefully the next parts will tie it up better. And I wish they'd just release the last 10 episodes in November. Don't make us wait, lol.
Unpopular opinion I hope Cobra Kai stomps and wins because im kinda sick of seeing this rivalry "No my style is better" "b-b-but mr miyagi" I hope they seriously injure one of the main characters maybe they'll finally train more than argue.
I'm wondering why Daniel and Johnny can never get along, and despite that, why do they keep trying? The only answer I can come up with is that they’re simply unable to coexist peacefully, but if that's the case, what explains the undeniable soft spot they have for each other? There have been moments when Johnny seems to genuinely admire Daniel-he’s impressed by him and even protective at times. Also, Daniel has shown that he cares about Johnny, helping him out in so many ways. I hope their issues CAN be resolved, but that hasn't happened yet. They might need to confront the roots of their rivalry, which might trace all the way back to the events in The Karate Kid. What do you think?
I think the reason why Johnny won was because Mike only started to fight again in s5 but Johnny been fighting in s1 so I think Mike is not as skilled as he was in kk3
I am very sure they will get along in the end of season 6 and maybe even before. Funny is Johnny acts now much more like Miyagi-Do then Daniel. When Daniel punched him in the nose he just took it without punching back. And Johnny had so much growth he even said they stay one team in the tournament. The Johnny from season 4 would have left M-D with his students. But we see now something that many never saw: Since Daniel always won when he was young (against Johnny, Chozen and Barnes), he didnt need to grow. He didnt face the experience and pain of a terrible loss. Barnes, Chozen and Johnny all grew in some ways, but Daniel never did. He sometimes still acts like 17 years old. When he faces something he doesnt like, he freaks out and loses control. He is the pure definition of a control freak. But in the end I wouldnt be surprised if Johnny takes over Miyagi-Do and continiues the legacy of Miyagi in the Valley, and Daniel retires and becomes a full-time car seller again, thats what he but also Amanda wants.
Fr like the video said they were risking their lives for each other last season they practically became like family since they see each other every day.
I know you're gonna hate me, but I'd like if Miyagi's Secret is that he killed someone in the Sekai Taikai ON PURPOSE just to demonstrate his power/ his father's Karate etc. Then after the Tournament he meets his opponant's wife, family whatever. Then he started to realize what he actually did. Only then he became the wise master we know, because "never put emotion over principle, even if you win, you lose" started from that situation. I know you're gonna hate me for that but can't we just acknowledge that Miyagi was a normal human being and not some sort of superhero (even if he was a war hero).
My guess is the CK Series finale will be another case of a disappointing ending to a popular show. That fight Chozen/Silver fight... then later Daniel/Silver fight from S5 seemed it might have been a satisfying conclusion to the series. If we see a Daniel/Silver rematch for S6... that would be hard to top the S5 fight. Only time will tell if S6 Part 3 will give us all a satisfying conclusion... along with a meaningful appearance by Julie Piece/Hilary Swank.
Preparing for the Sekai Tekkai brought out the worst in many of the characters. Both Johnny and Daniel showed favoriism. Devon cheated to get a spot. Both Robby and Miguel wanted to be the male captain so bad. Demetri cheated too and was upset that Hawk didn't want to go to MIT. Tory's mom's death really shook her up and played a part in her rejoining Kreese. Sure,, a lot of fans didn't want to see the characters revert to their old, antagonistic ways, but they're going to need to come back together and use their animosities to fight in a very dangerous tournament.
I was watching a video where the guy goes in great depth as to why Daniel admires Miyagi to the point of obsession and why at his age, it’s unhealthy. Season 6 part 1 was not that great, maybe one episode was rewatchable. Hopefully the second a third parts are a bit better.
These two are hot heads and don't deserve to teach these kids imo, if they can't put their petty differences in the past. Hopefully the show runners put an end to that for the fan sake.
I’m guessing the guy Myagi beat up and robbed was someone who’d done him wrong first. Maybe the guard at Manzanar prison camp who wouldn’t call a Dr while Myagi’s wife died giving birth? Just a guess. I’m not sure if the timing is right for that or not. Or just maybe someone who’d abused Myagi or someone he loved. Maybe the necklace he stole was something the “mope” had stolen from him first. Also just a guess. But those are 2 ways to make Myagi not a “reformed criminal”. I think the big 3 are smart and careful enough to handle it right and give us as satisfactory answer.
Mr Miyagi was a good man but he was still a human at the end of the day he was not a god. After the war and losing his family grief and PTSD probably made him go through a Johnny Lawrence phase where he became an alcoholic picking fights with people and then getting into legal trouble.
People are entitled to their opinions. Sometimes you can’t always blame fan critics for why the tv show doesn’t do great. But however sometimes you can’t always trust movie critics or fan critics. I really loved Cobra Kai season six part one and one of my favorite scenes part one was when Tory Nichols rejoined Cobra Kai because her mother died and when Tory Nichols fights aggressively against Sam at Miyagi Do. I wasn’t expecting Tory to rejoin Cobra Kai in part one. I thought that Tory was going to stay at Miyagi Do.
I actually agree with most of your points here. While certain things I can shrug, I wholeheartedly agree with ur opinion on Johnny and Daniel beef. The only thing I disagreed with was about Miyagi’s past because I think that can be an interesting story. Miyagi came home from the war only to realize that his family was dead and he basically lost everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some dark years where he let his trauma win but managed to land on his feet like you said and by the time we meet him in the first karate kid movie, he’s a changed man who’s healed from his demons and become who we know and love. However, I understand and respect your transgressions. I completely agree with Daniel being right about Tory though. Plus, don’t hate me for this but Johnny deserved to get punched for saying that about Mr. Miyagi
Dude who cares, I just have fun with whatever the show throws at me. I love this show from the very beginning and I think every season is great. My favorite characters are Johnny and Kwon, Robby. I think the Daniel glazing Miyagi is annoying asf but whatever. Let’s just Hope they finish the show strong!👊
what if the mystery regarding Miyagi has to do with him partaking or mentoring a fighter in the past in the tournament who was killed-- hence why in the movies he was against tournament (explains the bloody head band).
Tory's arc is the bright spot of the season so far. I don't understand Johnny's constant loss of progress. I think they wrote him as too much of a dumbass to ever fully make a believable recovery at this point. Why doesn't he just get a nice job as a port-a-potty service man, then he can be constantly covered in shit and we can just call him port-a-johnny. I hear it pays decent, but you have to take shit from everyone. He can change his dojo name to Johnny Eagle Doo, where you can learn to Shit like an Eagle. I don't know where I am going with this rant, just that I am not satisfied with many facets of this season, and I hope the final 10 episodes pull it out of the crapper. I hate to see franchises I love end up ....💩💩
That Stingray scene was totally unnecessary as well. I never liked that character and don't want to see him again. Also I thought we would get more scenes between Tory and Chozen in season 6, since we got that very nice scene between them in season 5. An interaction between them as proper sensei and student was one of the scenes I was waiting for the most since season 5, sad to not get it. Hopefully we get a few scenes between them in the next parts or so. Also I cannot believe this show got me to dislike both Daniel and Johnny at the same time in this show. Daniel with his nepotism willing to choose Anthony over Tory? And Johnny with his antics at the car dealership were not good either. Then for all we know no one in Miyagi-Do, not even Robby, ran after Tory as she stormed out of the dojo. Hope that's rectified soon. I didn't hate these five episodes but they weren't amazing either. Hopefully parts 2 and 3 are way better and this first part also is better to watch with the other parts.
I think the reason why Robby at least didn't go after Tory is that they both seem to have an understanding of giving each other space when they're upset. Now, is it a good thing all the time? No, Robby should have gone after Tory, but he probably didn't expect her to rejoin Kreese.
@@crusader2112 apparently Kreese was the only one who went to see her after she stormed off crying after her mom died It's also weird Daniel and Amanda considered her not to be in an emotional state to fight but respected her decision to storm off quiting Karate or atleast Miagi do
We will find out if the scene with Johnny and Stingray was necessary at the end. (I don't like Stingray, neither). But Stingray possibly planting the idea into Johnny's head to take Cobra Kai back may lead to this decision from Johnny at the end of the show.
I actually enjoyed some of the humourous light hearted scenes in season 6, even if they didn't contribute to the overall story that much. But there were some frustrations. Mike losing to Johnny was annoying. Was glad they finally made Miguel lose a fight though. In season one Robby was the better fighter, at least in a tournament anyway, and would've won if he wasn't injured. But ever since they've made Miguel beat everyone.
What I don't get is Chozen like completely disappeared, yeah I get he looked for flights to Okinawa but you will think that would've been a big thing to have on screen and not off screen. Now if his actor was dealing with something at the time and needed time then I will admit it's okay to happen off screen but still. The only thing that could save this season is stop having Daniel and Johnny fight although in this case it's understandable because I think Johnny is the only one who truly understands what Tory wanted and needed. And also they better have Miguel win the tournament, start with him winning end with him winning as well. Since the show was relaly about hik but also mainly about Johnny trying to be a better person and such
One thing Miguel, Hawk, Sam, Tory, Robby and the other kids have going for them is that they are learning both aggressiveness and balance while they're still young. They won't be conflicted with it later in life like Daniel and Johnny, who spent most of their lives learning one but not the other.
The way I see some of the points. Miyagi's past: Life is complicated and takes you down many different directions that no one can predict. Put yourself in Miyagi's shoes, he ran from Okinawa so he wouldn't have to fight his best friend to the death, moved to Hawaii got married, then was placed in an internment camp. He joined the military to help out his wife and unborn child. Only to when he gets home to find out that the people that he had been fighting for let his wife and child die. I don't see anyone being "balanced" after going through all of that. Chances are he was a very angry person for a long while, probably even flirted with alcoholism. Also keep in mind that from the end of the war to when he met Daniel was some 40 years, a person can change a lot during that time. Kreese going back and forth: Money, and lots of it. They have the ability to make fake passports that would make it through customs I'm sure. Chances are Silver has several of them. The break up: Yeah I hate that stuff. Back in the first couple of seasons Ralph stated something along the lines of the Ross and Rachel will they or won't they. The thing is they drag this storyline out way too long, by season 4 of Friends I personally was sick of it and didn't want them to get together. Both of Ross's on screen wives were much better than him and Rachel could have ever been.
Fucking ayyy man... Dimitri on the team literally ruined the show for my kids and myself .. it lost any semblance of what could be reality with that move.. hope dudes jaw breaks in the first match
Kreese could be hiding his wealth. all the poor homeless stuff could be another one of his deceptions. Someone who was a captain in the Veitnam war couldn't be shadowed so easy by Johnny unless he wanted to be.
I think the first part was purposely intended to reignite old rivalries as a teaser for the next 10 episodes where everyone will know the best way to win is to work together. Myagi Dojo doesn't stand a chance unless Johnny and Daniel work together and unite. Only then will the other rivalries subside and the students will be at their best. I applaud the writers for getting this out in the open sooner rather than later. I'm waiting for the heartfelt moment between Johnny and Daniel where they both admit they are better together than apart
What bothers me is that the South Korean Cobra Kai students *have no idea* that Miyagi-Do exists or that they are about to fight in a tournament; yet they are supposed to eternal enemies to each other. It makes sense that the original Cobra Kai in South Korea isn't interested in Kreese's rivalries, as Master Kim Sun-Yung takes a very decentralized approach to people setting up "franchises". He doesn't tell them what to do, doesn't demand a cut in the business profits, etc. Kreese and Silver trained under him over 50 years ago, and he hadn't once done anything to promote his teachings. I got the sense that he *liked* being "secretive" and that he wasn't doing this to be popular or win tournaments, but because he genuinely believes in his creed. So what does he and his students get out of this? They don't care about the rivalry, so it's not based on "revenge" or ancient hatreds. They have ten episodes to resolve ALL of these problems, and I just didn't see how they can do that in such a short span of time; unless each episode is an hour long or something.
This season is very disjointed. I still think the best ending would be with Miguel as the champion and Johnny as once again the Cobra Kai sensei. The show was at it's BEST with Johnny and Miguel. When stingray is trying to convince Johnny to be the Cobra Kai sensei again, it seemed to be going that way by the way Johnny reacted but then the next scene is Johnny just giving up and telling Daniel that it SHOULD be Miyagi Do. That's just one example of weird scene to scene flip flops
I think Miyagi's whole story won't be a giant misunderstanding. The big three talked about it, they thought the POV that Miyagi was perfect with no flaw was unrealistic. And what they're trying to paint this as a reference to is a kid growing up idolizing their parents but realizing they made an unfortunate decision. How life comes with ups and downs and realizing that even though they made a mistake, those mistakes made them who they are. They said they wanted to make Daniel look at Mr Miyagi like just another human being. They said they don't intend to undo Mr Miyagi's good things, but to paint a full picture rather than see him as a deity. So it being a giant misunderstanding contradicts two things here. How is Daniel going to see Mr Miyagi on the same dignity if it all turns out Miyagi was good all along. And two, they make it clear he probably did make a mistake even if it was honourable. The only question is how vile? My guess is he was in a bad emotional state after the war similarly to Kreese (Hurwitz said Kreese was supposed to be a good man that anyone could be turned down a dark path), perhaps this necklace belonged to his wife, they refused to give it over. And Miyagi beat them up enraged. I feel whatever happened at the tournament as they said for "mistakes made them who they are" I feel the Sekai Taikai is what made Miyagi turn to that competitions are bad and "win, lose" no matter. In terms of Johnny and Daniel. I think their arc is amazing. It's not repetitive because between the two their is no rivalry unlike Season 4 but Johnny is done with Daniel. But like the writers said and I figured it out the second it happened, they both learned their lesson, don't project this problem onto the kids. That's why Johnny says he'll stay to train the kids. Their conflict in Episode 5 is fantastic. Two people stuck in their beliefs (S4 reunion made it clear they're still set in their ways), genuinely trying to help a girl who lost her mother in the ways they think is best. Daniel including Amanda, Sam, and Robby sided with wanting the fight to stop. But Johnny made it personal cause not only has his roots of a Cobra Kai never abandoned him (ie coping with anger) but him remembering the day his mother died 100% stuck with him considering she was the only person he cared about, and he had no way of taking out his anger. So in his eyes, Daniel is letting that happen to Tory, and that enrages him because he feels he actually can help someone do something he wasn't able to do, and Daniel mentions Mr. Miyagi. Something Johnny was growing tired of as Season 6 went along. Which is a fault of the fact Daniel didn't mention to Johnny he was about to give up his dojo name which may have softened Johnny if he realized Daniel was humbler than he thinks.
I personally don’t want a Miyagi prequel, I think with a character like Miyagi less is more. My hope with the box is that maybe Miyagi had a student long before Daniel who was beaten to a pulp or maybe even to death in the tournament, maybe this is why Miyagi didn’t like tournaments and didn’t teach a more aggressive side to karate anymore. Maybe he trained boxing once upon a time to make his karate more aggressive but turned his back on all that after this event
Johnny needs to find a way to mature differently. That fight with Johnny fighting Mike was nothing all because Johnny is not understanding purposes of Mike's selection. Johnny was wrong for not sharing his feeling for Tory's loss and Daniel was right for stopping the fight seeing Tory's dangerous state after what happened in the past and now. How was Johnny trying to usurp LaRusso Auto? Too bad Chozen had to leave without seeing the importance of Captain in the sekai taikai. Amanda was wrong for snitching. Eventually they will get back together as a team. I hope they can make the Miyagi-Do win so Daniel steps down leaving Johnny to run Mr. Miyagi's legacy.
Johnny beating Mike, especially as easily as he did was 100% plot armor because he's the main character, nothing more. The theories of Mike "being rusty" and Johnny being "more active" are not viable since we just saw Mike fight in season 5. He fought Chozen to a draw, who Johnny's not at the level of, and made the easiest work of those instructors while he was conscious during that fight. He knocked each of them out with 1 hit, including saving Johnny's life from the toughest of them all who he couldn't beat on 2 different occasions. The "Johnny's been cross-training in Miyagi-Do now" excuse isn't believable to me either since it's only been a short time and he's not at Chozen's level. Considering Mike fought Chozen to a draw and destroyed Daniel in the tournament in the 80s, he's no stranger to Miyagi-Do and Johnny didn't have anything special to offer him in such a short period of time. Plus, Mike isn't the 1st person on the show to roll off the couch decades later and still have it. Johnny's buddies in season 2 showed they still got it in that bar fight, especially Bobby. Terry Silver had as much time off as Mike and he's able to kick just about everyone's ass on the show. No one ever brings that up about them. So this was 100% plot armor taken too far. It should have gone to a draw to avoid hurting either characters' images. If they don't bring Mike back in a future episode or spin-off and beat Johnny in a rematch or someone who Johnny can't beat, they essentially destroyed his image and brand as "Karate's bad boy," unless you're someone who can write it off as plot armor.
This summed up my thoughts exactly. Season 3 ended with Daniel and Johnny finally on the same side only for them to split up again in season 4 but at least they worked things out. In season 5 they legitimately felt like friends which was awesome. The fact that the writers felt the need to regress them like this and do a literal repeat of season 4 is ridiculously frustrating. It makes me wonder if this is a result of the writers not having enough story for 15 episodes and maybe they're just repeating these plots to fill time.
This basically shows that ever since what happened to Daniel and Johnny in high school they will never forgive each other for that. Even though Sam and Tory tried to kill each other but are now friends.
Daniel and Johnny are past what happened in high school. It’s just with their differences in teachings that’s the problem. Like why can’t the writers just ever make their relationship perfect. This is why they don’t make the show right
Bro they did. They stopped caring about rivarly past S4. Daniel and Johnny literally never brought up their past in S6. They were mad because their philosophies collided with Tory.
If Johnny was going to leave Miyagi-Do, that means he would quit his job at LaRusso Auto which includes abandoning his plan to find a new home for his new family. Carmen, Miguel, and maybe Robby would not like that he’s backing down on the plan just bc of Johnny’s argument with Daniel
@@jayzee8190 If Miyagi-Do loses the Sekai Taikai and Johnny still plans to leave Daniel, he’ll probably work for Daniel’s business rival, Tom Cole, or look for other jobs that’ll reject him
I think the effect of Daniel punching Johnnie in the face is grossly under estimated. Something like that changes a relationship even if Daniel is remorseful. Just look at what it did to the Golden State Warriors.
While I don’t like some things like how Johnny more or less “falls in line” this season, and them fighting again, I will say that the fans need to take it easy a little bit on S6. The key word here is PART 1. This is not its own season, it’s the first 5 episodes of a 15 episode season. Saying it’s the worst season because of the pacing is like saying a movie is bad after only watching the first 45 minutes of it, when it has 90 more left to go. We need to wait and decide how good/bad the season is once we can watch it all concurrently. You can’t judge something when there are missing pieces still yet to be uncovered
I think the charges against kreese have been dropped already that's how he can travel. But who paid for it and who load for torys ticket 😅😅 Maybe Col Dugan is behind kreese. I am.sure he was in the flashbacks in s.3 P.s. Daniel stopped the fight also because Sam would have got hurt for sure since Tory fought with anger! Sam and Robby saw it as well
Talking about Devon being the weak link is wild... Dimitri is the weak link, kid is useless we all know it and the writers are forcing him down our throats... I'd take Devon till the day I die over diweaktri.... also none of Barnes drills made any sense... especially the last one... they could have walked in the woods found a flag abd walked back untouched and that proves nothing... smfh if Dimitri wins one single bout then the show lost all credibility.... also Johnny > Miyagi glazer danny... my god Daniel starts every God damn argument and everyone is getting sick of hearing about miyagi
I feel like the opposite should be true. The writers being on strike didn't stop most of them from writing. It actually gave them a ton of time, pressure-free, to get it right. A lot of it was written pre-strike, too.
Although powerful of the performance from Peyton List the hack that she went to cobra Kai and back to Chris was an obvious four-point but at the same time she was agreeing through a lot of things after the death of her mother and then didn’t realize that like all throughout like I say season three how much the family tried to help her and even though that was when Sam and her were at each other‘s throat now that they’re talking, I found it hard to believe that that one note from kreese was enough to set her on the path back to cobra Kai the grieving part I got but that one note with him showing up and you know your head full of the things were gonna turn on you no matter what because they don’t care about you is this is really that was just not that I believe it went for the show itself. The whole season was great. I enjoyed it. There were episodes that like people didn’t like. I think they were just motivator episodes so cut the slack… she was trying to find his balance😊lol
So I DONT agree that Daniel was right and Johnny was wrong. Fighting it out works for some people and not for others. I feel like the right step would be to just take her aside and ask her.
But Sam didn’t want to fight. So that’s that. Why the heck would someone want to fight another person when they’re in an irrational state after their parent died?
I feel like either way would’ve ended the same. She wasn’t fighting with the tournament in mind or with points in mind she just wanted to fight and to release the anger. Getting shots in after her points were scored would’ve just pissed everyone else off, her new found friendship with Sam and everyone at Miyagi do would take a turn. And she isn’t in the mind state to talk things out so the way I see it working is even if she won that fight overly aggressively it would’ve caused her to leave out of frustration anyway 🤷♂️ like death of her mother or not, Daniel isn’t gonna just sit there and watch her beat the ass off Sam
There was no challenges for any of the characters There was no character development what so ever There was nothing at stakes for any of the characters There was no one to root for There was no thrill as a spectator... ...Just fill-up nonsense plotline...predictive storylines all over the place and forced and weird fight sequences. On top of that, we had poor taste and cringy dramatic or comedic scenes: - Pinkface for Daniel Larusso that is clearly reminiscent of a blackface - Black people humiliation ritual by using scatological jokes for Kenny - Asian people humiliation ritual for Kyler by eating on the floor - Creepy moments with Johnny Lawrence with female teenagers at a sleep over in a basement. In whos right mind this is funny or clever writing in 2024?
The ultimate question is: ''...Why it happened to one of the top show on Netflix on its last season?...'' They've promised the biggest season ever and we had this instead. ''...Why could they not deliver?...'' They had plenty of cash and plenty of time to make things right.
Now, I pray for Hilary Swank, the youngest 2 time Oscar winner, to not be part of this hot mess. Not after the traumatic fiasco of The Next Karate kid. !!!!Shame on you Sony Pictures!!!!
I honestly thought Johnny showed major growth by not hitting Daniel back. I just hated that scene all together, period. After 40 years and 5 prior seasons, the Sekai Taikai was one tournament they should’ve been totally in_sync for. Them being at odds once AGAIN, especially after the major growth in Season 5, that only made for major backtracking at the end of Part 1 in season 6. BIG mistake.
@@shadowsansvii8715 are you saying Daniel being a twat has nothing to do with the show not being as great as it could be? Daniel is easily the most annoying character and Sam is a close second, figures she's his daughter.
I’m waiting to watch the season all the way through so I have the complete story and I can make honest judgment on the season as a whole rather than judging based on the first 5 episodes
i dont get these i loved every part of the season(except when kreese gets bitten by the snake that litterly is poison enough to kill like 15 elephants dont remember the exact number of elephants but its unrealistic) and i think its leading up to being the best season yet
I can definitely echo the conflict for conflict's sake sentiment. Most of the times it felt out of place and out of character, not only with Johnny but also with characters like Tory, for example. Her leaving like that, joining Cobra Kai, and no one else trying to get to her before the reveal, was a little too much.
Season 5 should have been the end. It wrapped everything up nicely with all foes as friends and Silver behind bars. Let the audience make up Kreeses future from there.
Season 5 ending was terrible. It made no sense at all. 3 grown men attack silver at his house based on no recent provocation. Nothing recently had happened other than Mike Barnes being upset saying silver burned his store. (Was it ever confirmed it was silver? Only ever seemed implied and never by silver). The kids go to the dojo after hours and hack security footage. Dumb Dojo fight was dumb. Daniel fights silver at silvers dojo. Silver loses to Daniel just dumb. Kenny who was fine all season with cheating upon seeing the video of silver admitting to bribery is done with silver. Stingray who made a false witness and lied at the hospital and in court for personal gain, recants in a parking lot. Silver is being arrested. Again for what? Nothing that night was on him. Was he being arrested for bribing a ref of an under 18 karate tournament? Get out of here. I get it. There were a lot of call backs. And it had all the “good guys” teamed up against the big bad. But it was just all dumb. They wrapped it up in a bow like they did because they probably thought that was it until Netflix said go ahead and do 1 more.
I understand why Daniel looks up to Mr. Miyagi, but he should have learned that it is okay to mix styles which Sam, Robby, and Miguel do. Honestly why fight again? I do understand both sides, but they should have had a compromise, yes, but also no they should not have let Tory go and should have said that she can come back a week or so to fight again instead.
Yeah, I didn't like how they nerfed Mike Barnes this season. He held his own against Chozen quite well in season 5, so I think it should've been a tie between him and Johnny. I didn't like the split between Johnny and Daniel either, but I do appreciate how the writers made sure that it was multiple things that led to it, not just one. (The whole dealership thing, Johnny confronting Mike Barnes behind Daniel's back, Daniel not letting Tory fight, etc.) and let's be honest, Tory would've busted Sam's nose if Daniel hadn't stopped her. From all the comments I've read on other videos, a lot of people are arguing over who's in the right and wrong between Robby and Tory. Some say that Tory is a bad girlfriend for not telling Robby right away after her mom died, and some say that Robby is a bad boyfriend for not going after her when she left Miyagi Do. I know it's just a show, but their actions/inactions are quite accurate to how these things would play out in real life. The reason why Tory didn't answer her phone when Robby tried to call her was because she didn't have the energy to talk, and the reason why Robby didn't go after her when she left was because he was giving her time to grieve, and that's also why none of the others reached out to her afterward. Of course, none of us expected Tory to rejoin Cobra Kai at the end. Maybe we'll see a flashback in part 2 of how she approached Kreese and rejoined his side. Or maybe he approached her? Who knows. That being said, I'm gonna quote Green Lantern here: "She's had an unfathomable loss, and she needs time to process it." Also, sorry for the long comment.
About the Johnny vs Barnes thing: I dont understand why people have problems with it. Mike s offensive is 10 out of 10, but he lacks defensive. Johnny back in the 80s was offensive 9 out of 10 but also with almost no defensive. Today Johnny s defense has evolved while Mike still has none. So its fair Johnny won. Look the fight again. When Johnny tried his Cobra Kai offensive, Barnes got the upperhand, I mean when both fought offensive. Then Barnes tried to insult Miyagi-Do, calling it soft with meditation etc., and Johnny began to use Miyagi-Do against Barnes, the defense, and Barnes couldnt deal with it. So basically Johnny didnt just defend the Miyagi name, he also used it to beat Barnes in end. Other things: Only one guy (maybe others did it too, I didnt see all reviews) pointed out he found that thing with Kreese and the white magic Cobra and the mystical snake venom very weird. When I saw Kreese going in the cave, I felt more like watching Indiana Jones in _Raiders of the lost Ark_ instead of _Cobra Kai_ , when Indy tried to get the Arc, fell down and had all the cobra snakes around him. And this venom is also very fictional. Its possible the Kim clan uses that stuff to make people loyal, removing their weaknesses and softness, and all warm and positive feelings they have for others. And I really dont hope we gonna see in part 2 Tory got a shot from that stuff too to make her loyal, removing her warm feelings to Robby, Sam and the others, and that was the reason she joined Cobra Kai, not just because her mom died (or was killed). So I hope this venom thing was used only once and wont show up again. It was more like from an Indiana Jones movie, like when Indy got drugged by antagonist Mole-Ram in _Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom_ . One of my concerns for part 2 is that they did a kind of _Santa Barbara_ soap opera gossip dramas among the teenys in Barcelona during the tournament, means: 1) "Big" Axel Kovacevic flirts with Sam or even more. 2) Jaesung Kwon flirts with Tory or even more. 3) Zara Malik flirts with Miguel/Robby or even more. 4) Draga flirts with Miguel/Robby or even more. If all four points would become true, I could only shake my head in disbelieve, that would be like a character assassination for the valley teenys. I really hope they didnt do that! Otherwise I would criticize Jon, Josh and Hayden (or the people on Netflix) to hire such writers, because writers who write stuff like this most probably work part-time for some gossip plattorms like TMZ etc..
Its just about finding Problems because when Season 6 wasnt realesed i dint see 1 Person who sayed Mike Barnes is stronger then Johnny now everyone complains about it
@@mikelo9266 Many people thought Barnes was stronger as Johnny, at least when they were young which is very likely. But I always found Barnes overrated by fans like Ken Cole etc.. Daniel was in a bad mindstate during the whole _KK3_ movie, even before Barnes and Silver showed up. In _KK1_ Daniel fought for Ali, in _KK2_ he fought for Kumiko, but he didnt fight for Jessica in _KK3_ , and Daniel can only reach his 100% when someone he loves is on the line. This seems to be the same with Robby. We saw now in S6E5 he needs Tory, he only reaches his 100% when she watches him, she also watched im in S4E8 during the prom fight, when Robby was also 100% and got the upperhand over Miguel. Only after Barnes insulted Miyagi in the end, calling him a fake, phony, what he teaches is no karate at all, that was the moment when Daniel took it personal. Then his real fighting spirit awoke and he brought out his best karate, and he defated Barnes with one move. If Barnes had a knife on the throut of Kumiko for exmaple, Daniel would have fought him with a complete different mindset as he did in _KK3_ , but too many fans simply dont understand it. My stats would be like this (the young versions): Offensive/Defensive Johnny: 9.5/5 Barnes: 10/5 Daniel: 6/10 Chozen: 9/9 Chozen was in totality the most complete. He didnt have a real weakness, and he only lost to Daniel because of The Drum, but also because of his mindset, he fought against (all population including his uncle Sato), Daniel fought for (Kumiko, all population of Miyagi's village incl Miyagi and Sato). Barnes offensive was the best, but his defense was always basicall non existence. And Johnny has improved there.
@@chrisbach1533 Nah Young Mike was a National Champion he was very strong even before Terry and Kreese trained him but he was out of shape and dint trained for 30 Years that why got defeated by Johnny.
Part 1 should have been everyone training and learning new skills. Pick the team in episode 1-2. Then you have Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Barnes train the main 6 and the 2 backups. As for the Tori vs Sam fight. Johnny, who also lost his mother at a young age and knows Tori better than Daniel literally said that’s what she needed, to fight. I would say Tori gained the point due to Daniel interference when Tori was going to have the point. The fight will postpone for now and continue tomorrow. Then I would take Tori will me (Johnny) to talk. Johnny can tell her how he lost his mom at a young age and was just full of sadness and anger for a long time. Tell her how Kreese was like a father figure for him and had him channel those negative emotions which turned him into a bad person. Apologize to her for not being there for her in the past but will be there for her moving forward.
Honestly the show is called Cobra Kai n it's about Johnny n Miguel; NÒT Daniel n Sam n this obsession with Miyagi Doh!! My theory; Miguel n Johnny both leave Miyagi Doh and for different reasons; 1) Johnny to retake Cobra Kai n boost his ìncome 2) Miguel leaves to win n boost his academic reputation for college acceptance plus he could rehookup with Tory. Plus...the show is called 'Cobra Kai'...🤷♂️ 3)Miguel, Tory n Devon will rejoin Cobra Kai after she confesses n gives Kenny her place rightfully after her shitty(pun intended) move😂😂 PS I can't stand Sam's character but I like Tory's for Miguel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The last 3 seasons have pretty much sucked. Didn't Daniel in his own words say "Some of Eagle Fang is good".... Now he's back to Miyagi-Do 100%! And freaking out when Johnny teaches any of his methods? Like then WTF is the purpose of Johnny, to be Daniel's pet? Daniel is so unlikable now. Is Daniel just the dumbest clown out there, or are the writers out of ideas, where they need to recreate fake friction between the two again. It was old by season 3. It's very old by season 6 and none of it even makes sense! lol... They teamed up because they finally embraced each other's differences, only to, completely fight about their differences, AGAIN!! Johnny and Daniel have spent enough time around each another to get used to the fact both are different. And it seemed like both were at peace with it by season 5. And their differences weren't even causing any conflict! Just dumb writing. Makes no sense. And the big reveal of Tory going back to Cobra Kai, was just super dumb. No logic to it at all, just for the shock value. Her last scene with Kreese pretty much told us she knows he used her (which he did) and that she doesn't trust him. Eh, okay, back on Kreese's side. WHAT? Nothing even makes sense anymore. I guess they don't want us to think at all. I can forgive how absurd it is a felon like Kreese is able to fly all over the world like it's nothing at least. All these twists and turns, that don't make any sense. I hate it.
WATCHPARTY: Walk on the right side of the road safe, walk on the left side of the road safe, walk in the middle of road (squished) like Grape. You Karate Do yes or you Karate do no. Cobra Kai S6 part 1 is the Same Thing apparently. I feel like there were just so many setbacks that were resolved throughout out the series shouldn’t have gotten rehashed again at all especially where Johnny and Daniel are concerned because that’s a big part of what caused part 1 to get (Squished) like a grape. Also you’re not the only one that noticed Sam’s growth and maturity being the most prominent and positive thing in part 1, I noticed it too especially in episodes 3 and 5. I believe as well that Johnny was more out of line then Daniel was (not that Daniel was without his own faults and didn’t add to it) and seems to forget that doing things the Miyagi Do way is what he signed up for at the end of episode 1 nor does ever even acknowledge that Miyagi also saved his life and if I’m being honest I would have preferred watching a scene where Robby, Amanda, or even Devon were shown going after Tory, trying to convince her to stay as opposed to watching Daniel and Johnnys little hissy fit over who’s fault it was that she left in the first place. I give Sam a free pass because it wouldn’t have been a good idea for her to approach Tory in that moment after she left until she at least calmed down after a day or two.
Its nonsense in real life johnny dont get a kick or punch on barnes its all barnes he knocks him down then slides down low and does him no chatting ,and he would do it with defence just in case,if your black belt your ovsessed with doing both aytack and degence at the same time,its stupid esp after he proved hiw good he was against chozen,johnny is a wimp compared to barnes,just pure nonsense,ive had a fight or two in my life i know what im talking about
One of my favorite scenes in part one of Cobra Kai season six was that Tory Nichols rejoined Cobra Kai, Kwon fights aggressively against the other Cobra Kai students in South Korea, Tory Nichols fights aggressively against Sam, John Kreese goes into a cave overcomes his weakness, and I also liked the scene when Johnny Lawrence fights Mike Barnes.

It was very unnecessary to make Daniel and Johnny going back to being against each other after everything they’ve been through. It’s because the writers don’t have anything new to make use of their friendship that was developed last season.
Or Sam running through different dudes every season. As much as I love the show, I’m glad it’s ending. The stories are getting repetitive
LaRusso girls are loose
@@bobbyjohnson9409same Here and with you on that (kinda). As much as I would love for it to go for another season or 2 till they can put to a point to really end the series, that way to remove any flaws they might have and not rush it out to stretch this season to 15 episodes, and have like 20-30 more (than call it enough) for at least more smooth story along with the characters we love, and more comedy (but not too far plot lines within the episodes. Ex. Johnny’s scene at dealership in ep. 5). I see the hugest flaws of what has occurred and what would have been like if they had that approach before (to begin with). (See how this season would’ve been, if it wasn’t the series finale).
And again. Like any Great Tremendous series that’s always close to perfect (no movie/show/or series is perfect) you can’t overstay your welcome. And this one is no accept ion based on what it’s throwing at us.
I agree it was totally pointless. Even Tory rejoining Cobra Kai after the wholesome moment between her and Sam in episode 3 and when they had finally started developing a friendship.
And they just have made Daniel so dumb at this point. In season 4, he finally understood Eagle Fang wasn't that bad. So why is he so hellbent against it again? Every time Johnny takes time to teach the kids, in the only way he knows how, he continues to freak out.. We saw that in season 4, when he didn't accept it. Or did reluctantly... Okay, we get it...
It was a new thing for Daniel. But he's been around Johnny long enough to know his ways and to have just accepted it by now... Otherwise, why are they still working together? But now he's not again? WTF. Why are they repeating the same DAMN thing again, like this is the first time Daniel has ever worked with Johnny. This is just beyond annoying at this point.
Daniel and Johhny are like a dysfunctional couple: they make up, they break up. Danielle and Creampuff ❤
He WAS the bad boy of Karate, he was banned a million years ago. For good reasons and was into furniture making after. I did martial arts as a teen, doesn't mean I could beat someone now who was my level back then and picked up training while I didn't.
Ya no. Mike Barnes was a 9th degree black belt at 17 which is impossible but whatever. mike has faces every type of fighter there is,He should easily overpower Johnny. Johnny has got back into training 2 years ago. Also I would buy the Mike has been out of the game excuse more if we literally didn't just see him fight in season 5 against Chozen and easily beating the Fist

Johnny beating Mike Barnes was the best thing in the entire first part of s6. To finally make clear who's the goat and who's just a soulless attempt to create a character that is like the goat but it never worked because he was just a one dimensional monster and I would never have accepted a tie between them as a symbol that they're equal because they're not and never will be.
OMG finally someone said it. I agree fully

Thank you for including me in the conversation and the shout-out! WatchPartyyyyyy never dies!!
Burning questions for parts 2 and 3:
1. Why did Miyagi keep all that incriminating stuff, and then just bury it?
2. Will we find out what Terry was doing in the hospital in Season 5?
3. What really happened at Applebees with Johnny?
4. If the Sekai Takai is basically Part 2, then what will the final five episodes be about?
5. Will Silver show up in parts 2 and 3? What about Miguel's Dad? Snake, Dennis, or even Dutch? I don't really care about Julie Pierce (especially if the spoiler rumors about her are true - lame IMHO), but would love to see all the others. Bringing them all back to the Sekai Takai in one way or another would be pretty awesome, I think.
There is an other problem with Johny and Mike fight : it’s completely pointless especially since Johny and Mike doesn’t have any connection to each other that could justify a conflict between them.
Yes. That was a forced and unnatural scene.
@@FranG1214 Basically like another for the fans type of fight thing. (Like chozen vs Barnes), however the way that was in there, it did work for the way the episode played out along with the fans. And the story itself.
This one just sort of adds to more of how toxic Johnny is becoming now. There are a lot that he has coming his way, yes, (Like a practice of him and Devon) cause he’ll be a girl dad along the way while also being a dad to Robby and Miguel. However, those two elements are way too completely separate.
Yes he wants the best for who he cares bout most, but this is the Seikai Taikai we’re talking bout. Either he doesn’t see it the way how Barnes is judging it, or he does but still not care from minding his own business to what he’s doing to judge best of the best, instead of just results from the foot race.
Another thing, yes, he did beat up 5 of silvers goons, but doing so after getting beaten up that much. Uhh, yeeeahhh 😬no matter how strong the dynamic he was, yeeeah, we’ll leave it as it is, cause it’s behind us.
Plus, Barnes should’ve never lose to Johnny like ever. Sure Johnny picked up techniques along the way, but don’t you think Barnes would’ve known those types by now along with his fighting techniques. Yeah, everything’s just becoming so frustrating.
Really - Devon is so not worth fighting the Bad Boy over 😂
Johnny and daniel arguing, demetri being a dick to hawk and tory switching again was just frustrating and disappointing to be honest. The first two can fix but i dont know how tory switching is going to be justified.
Yeah, it’ll take more than anyone in Miyagi-Do to redeem Tory for good
Daniel will make Tory understand for what he had did and could have done something else to make her fight with balance next time. Johnny will be sorry for not showing sympathy for Tory's loss and share his story about his mom.
It doesn't even make sense, she literally said she doesn't trust Kreese. Because of her mom dying, she's so in grief, she's going to just make that big of an illogical decision? I bet that's the angle they go, and it's really stupid.
Don't forget Devon, probably one of the most likable newer characters, being a super villain now and poisoning Kenny with laxatives so he can poop himself and not take her spot. That was just a super weird scene. Taking too many can actually kill someone. How horrible does that make her, to do that, just to make the team. The show has become really strange.
How do you redeem her character after that? I would never, ever, forgive someone if they did that to me. That is super evil. Just to make the team. Her character is forever horrible now.
@@godfather4377 facts
My biggest problem right now is the stakes. Since they don't know Cobra Kai is entering then it makes character motivation weird. The Tournament is held every 2 years so its not like they can't enter again. So things Devon poisoning Kenny? Robby feeling like he's got nothing if he doesn't win this time, Daniel getting mad that Johnny about the best team but if they lose nothing happens and at the same time Daniel wanted Anthony to go? If they don't know Cobra Kai is going why is it so important they win this time?
Isn’t it 18 and under though?
@@gjjijji it’s the series finale. Plus it’s still opportunity from spreading cobra Kai around the globe if they win. Especially if silver is entering back into the mix, hidden somewhere behind the shadows. Just because he was taken out at end of season 5, doesn’t mean he’s out for good. He will still easily get out of jail due to the best lawyers he has, then enter the tournament (partnering with iron dragons or someone). And if win, can use that to spread out the name, but still call it as Cobra Kai, or just “Silver”.
Along with bragging rights.
Cause remember. Cobra Kai, Never Dies.
We’ll, we’ll see how it’s settled on the mat, it is due or die for all Dojos Now, along with history rights, and to settle Once and for All.
Nice breakdown. I do think the segmented release schedule makes it tougher to evaluate. Like you mentioned, there were several things I didn't think were that great in Part 1, but I'm willing to at least partly reserve judgment until we see the finished product and how and whether some of these issues are resolved. Perhaps some of these will make more sense in the context of the rest of the season and the entire series.
My biggest problem with Part 1 so far is: why in the hell would Mr. Miyagi save all this random incriminating stuff? To remind himself of what not to be or who he was? Then why would he have buried it? It seems to all be just a mcguffin for Daniel's character arc, but not much else. Perhaps we will find out he has some connections to Master Kim or to even to Kwon, but I think that'd only be mildly interesting and also a little lame in a Star Wars-esque kind of way. Hopefully the next parts will tie it up better. And I wish they'd just release the last 10 episodes in November. Don't make us wait, lol.
This was a fantastic breakdown of what went wrong with season 6 part 1. Hopefully the show can bounce back with the final 10 episodes.
Right ! Kreese is a wanted criminal 😂.
It would be dope if nobody won from Miyagi Do or Cobra Kai
Which dojo should win?
@@ozairdurrani9679Iron dragons
Miyagi do is winning
@@explodedgaming4019 Silver would win again.
Unpopular opinion I hope Cobra Kai stomps and wins because im kinda sick of seeing this rivalry "No my style is better" "b-b-but mr miyagi" I hope they seriously injure one of the main characters maybe they'll finally train more than argue.
This show should be called Mean boys at this point
I'm wondering why Daniel and Johnny can never get along, and despite that, why do they keep trying? The only answer I can come up with is that they’re simply unable to coexist peacefully, but if that's the case, what explains the undeniable soft spot they have for each other? There have been moments when Johnny seems to genuinely admire Daniel-he’s impressed by him and even protective at times. Also, Daniel has shown that he cares about Johnny, helping him out in so many ways.
I hope their issues CAN be resolved, but that hasn't happened yet. They might need to confront the roots of their rivalry, which might trace all the way back to the events in The Karate Kid. What do you think?
I think the reason why Johnny won was because Mike only started to fight again in s5 but Johnny been fighting in s1 so I think Mike is not as skilled as he was in kk3
“Ahhh!, learn plenty” Spit out my drink through my nose at that one lol
Glad you liked it!
alex flores
At least if s6 messes things up, s5 feels conclusive enough to where I could just watch seasons 1-5 on rewatches and be satisfied
Johnny working a car dealership was hinted at in the first season, his knowledge of cars
Chozen said Johnny had "friends." Yet, somehow, these friends split apart. Doesn't make sense.
I’m genuinely sick of Johnny & Daniel fighting. It’s tried it’s dried up. They can’t get along we get it!
You're not alone. A lot of us feel this way.
Thank god my ultimate favorite fighter is chozen gasoline toguchi
The best warrior
I am very sure they will get along in the end of season 6 and maybe even before. Funny is Johnny acts now much more like Miyagi-Do then Daniel. When Daniel punched him in the nose he just took it without punching back. And Johnny had so much growth he even said they stay one team in the tournament. The Johnny from season 4 would have left M-D with his students.
But we see now something that many never saw:
Since Daniel always won when he was young (against Johnny, Chozen and Barnes), he didnt need to grow. He didnt face the experience and pain of a terrible loss.
Barnes, Chozen and Johnny all grew in some ways, but Daniel never did. He sometimes still acts like 17 years old. When he faces something he doesnt like, he freaks out and loses control. He is the pure definition of a control freak.
But in the end I wouldnt be surprised if Johnny takes over Miyagi-Do and continiues the legacy of Miyagi in the Valley, and Daniel retires and becomes a full-time car seller again, thats what he but also Amanda wants.
Fr like the video said they were risking their lives for each other last season they practically became like family since they see each other every day.
I know you're gonna hate me, but I'd like if Miyagi's Secret is that he killed someone in the Sekai Taikai ON PURPOSE just to demonstrate his power/ his father's Karate etc. Then after the Tournament he meets his opponant's wife, family whatever. Then he started to realize what he actually did. Only then he became the wise master we know, because "never put emotion over principle, even if you win, you lose" started from that situation. I know you're gonna hate me for that but can't we just acknowledge that Miyagi was a normal human being and not some sort of superhero (even if he was a war hero).
I don't hate you. It's an interesting theory.
It's a very good idea. And something like this happened to Mas Oyama in real life.
My guess is the CK Series finale will be another case of a disappointing ending to a popular show. That fight Chozen/Silver fight... then later Daniel/Silver fight from S5 seemed it might have been a satisfying conclusion to the series. If we see a Daniel/Silver rematch for S6... that would be hard to top the S5 fight.
Only time will tell if S6 Part 3 will give us all a satisfying conclusion... along with a meaningful appearance by Julie Piece/Hilary Swank.
I felt that Johnny's character was devalued a bit.
I agree

Preparing for the Sekai Tekkai brought out the worst in many of the characters. Both Johnny and Daniel showed favoriism. Devon cheated to get a spot. Both Robby and Miguel wanted to be the male captain so bad. Demetri cheated too and was upset that Hawk didn't want to go to MIT. Tory's mom's death really shook her up and played a part in her rejoining Kreese. Sure,, a lot of fans didn't want to see the characters revert to their old, antagonistic ways, but they're going to need to come back together and use their animosities to fight in a very dangerous tournament.
I was watching a video where the guy goes in great depth as to why Daniel admires Miyagi to the point of obsession and why at his age, it’s unhealthy.
Season 6 part 1 was not that great, maybe one episode was rewatchable. Hopefully the second a third parts are a bit better.
Johnny won because he’s been training consistently and longer, that’s supposed to be common sense
These two are hot heads and don't deserve to teach these kids imo, if they can't put their petty differences in the past. Hopefully the show runners put an end to that for the fan sake.
Cobra Kai season 6 has been the definition of just turn off your brain and watch
I’m guessing the guy Myagi beat up and robbed was someone who’d done him wrong first. Maybe the guard at Manzanar prison camp who wouldn’t call a Dr while Myagi’s wife died giving birth? Just a guess. I’m not sure if the timing is right for that or not. Or just maybe someone who’d abused Myagi or someone he loved. Maybe the necklace he stole was something the “mope” had stolen from him first. Also just a guess. But those are 2 ways to make Myagi not a “reformed criminal”. I think the big 3 are smart and careful enough to handle it right and give us as satisfactory answer.
Mr Miyagi was a good man but he was still a human at the end of the day he was not a god. After the war and losing his family grief and PTSD probably made him go through a Johnny Lawrence phase where he became an alcoholic picking fights with people and then getting into legal trouble.
People are entitled to their opinions. Sometimes you can’t always blame fan critics for why the tv show doesn’t do great. But however sometimes you can’t always trust movie critics or fan critics. I really loved Cobra Kai season six part one and one of my favorite scenes part one was when Tory Nichols rejoined Cobra Kai because her mother died and when Tory Nichols fights aggressively against Sam at Miyagi Do. I wasn’t expecting Tory to rejoin Cobra Kai in part one. I thought that Tory was going to stay at Miyagi Do.
I actually agree with most of your points here. While certain things I can shrug, I wholeheartedly agree with ur opinion on Johnny and Daniel beef.
The only thing I disagreed with was about Miyagi’s past because I think that can be an interesting story. Miyagi came home from the war only to realize that his family was dead and he basically lost everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had some dark years where he let his trauma win but managed to land on his feet like you said and by the time we meet him in the first karate kid movie, he’s a changed man who’s healed from his demons and become who we know and love. However, I understand and respect your transgressions.
I completely agree with Daniel being right about Tory though. Plus, don’t hate me for this but Johnny deserved to get punched for saying that about Mr. Miyagi
Dude who cares, I just have fun with whatever the show throws at me. I love this show from the very beginning and I think every season is great. My favorite characters are Johnny and Kwon, Robby. I think the Daniel glazing Miyagi is annoying asf but whatever. Let’s just
Hope they finish the show strong!👊
what if the mystery regarding Miyagi has to do with him partaking or mentoring a fighter in the past in the tournament who was killed-- hence why in the movies he was against tournament (explains the bloody head band).
Tory's arc is the bright spot of the season so far. I don't understand Johnny's constant loss of progress. I think they wrote him as too much of a dumbass to ever fully make a believable recovery at this point. Why doesn't he just get a nice job as a port-a-potty service man, then he can be constantly covered in shit and we can just call him port-a-johnny. I hear it pays decent, but you have to take shit from everyone. He can change his dojo name to Johnny Eagle Doo, where you can learn to Shit like an Eagle. I don't know where I am going with this rant, just that I am not satisfied with many facets of this season, and I hope the final 10 episodes pull it out of the crapper. I hate to see franchises I love end up ....💩💩
That Stingray scene was totally unnecessary as well. I never liked that character and don't want to see him again.
Also I thought we would get more scenes between Tory and Chozen in season 6, since we got that very nice scene between them in season 5. An interaction between them as proper sensei and student was one of the scenes I was waiting for the most since season 5, sad to not get it. Hopefully we get a few scenes between them in the next parts or so.
Also I cannot believe this show got me to dislike both Daniel and Johnny at the same time in this show. Daniel with his nepotism willing to choose Anthony over Tory? And Johnny with his antics at the car dealership were not good either.
Then for all we know no one in Miyagi-Do, not even Robby, ran after Tory as she stormed out of the dojo. Hope that's rectified soon.
I didn't hate these five episodes but they weren't amazing either. Hopefully parts 2 and 3 are way better and this first part also is better to watch with the other parts.
Agreed Stingray the worst character in the series.
I think the reason why Robby at least didn't go after Tory is that they both seem to have an understanding of giving each other space when they're upset. Now, is it a good thing all the time? No, Robby should have gone after Tory, but he probably didn't expect her to rejoin Kreese.
@@crusader2112 apparently Kreese was the only one who went to see her after she stormed off crying after her mom died
It's also weird Daniel and Amanda considered her not to be in an emotional state to fight but respected her decision to storm off quiting Karate or atleast Miagi do
We will find out if the scene with Johnny and Stingray was necessary at the end. (I don't like Stingray, neither). But Stingray possibly planting the idea into Johnny's head to take Cobra Kai back may lead to this decision from Johnny at the end of the show.
@@anakinPro01 I hope Johnny retakes Cobra Kai and runs it with Robby & Tory. 👍
I actually enjoyed some of the humourous light hearted scenes in season 6, even if they didn't contribute to the overall story that much. But there were some frustrations. Mike losing to Johnny was annoying. Was glad they finally made Miguel lose a fight though. In season one Robby was the better fighter, at least in a tournament anyway, and would've won if he wasn't injured. But ever since they've made Miguel beat everyone.
We have a difference of opinion on S1 Miguel and S1 Robby. I believe Miguel would have won either way
What I don't get is Chozen like completely disappeared, yeah I get he looked for flights to Okinawa but you will think that would've been a big thing to have on screen and not off screen. Now if his actor was dealing with something at the time and needed time then I will admit it's okay to happen off screen but still.
The only thing that could save this season is stop having Daniel and Johnny fight although in this case it's understandable because I think Johnny is the only one who truly understands what Tory wanted and needed. And also they better have Miguel win the tournament, start with him winning end with him winning as well. Since the show was relaly about hik but also mainly about Johnny trying to be a better person and such
No he will come back officially
One thing Miguel, Hawk, Sam, Tory, Robby and the other kids have going for them is that they are learning both aggressiveness and balance while they're still young. They won't be conflicted with it later in life like Daniel and Johnny, who spent most of their lives learning one but not the other.
I have a feeling the Danny-Johnny drama will be settled in either part 3, or the upcoming karate Kid movie.
6:05 remember when mike lost to two of silvers masters and johnny nearly beat all of them single handedly?
The way I see some of the points.
Miyagi's past:
Life is complicated and takes you down many different directions that no one can predict. Put yourself in Miyagi's shoes, he ran from Okinawa so he wouldn't have to fight his best friend to the death, moved to Hawaii got married, then was placed in an internment camp. He joined the military to help out his wife and unborn child. Only to when he gets home to find out that the people that he had been fighting for let his wife and child die. I don't see anyone being "balanced" after going through all of that. Chances are he was a very angry person for a long while, probably even flirted with alcoholism. Also keep in mind that from the end of the war to when he met Daniel was some 40 years, a person can change a lot during that time.
Kreese going back and forth:
Money, and lots of it. They have the ability to make fake passports that would make it through customs I'm sure. Chances are Silver has several of them.
The break up:
Yeah I hate that stuff. Back in the first couple of seasons Ralph stated something along the lines of the Ross and Rachel will they or won't they. The thing is they drag this storyline out way too long, by season 4 of Friends I personally was sick of it and didn't want them to get together. Both of Ross's on screen wives were much better than him and Rachel could have ever been.
The Sekai Taikai team should have been Miguel, Robby, Sam, Tory, Hawk & Kenny. That is the strongest team that Miyagi Do has. Fuck these writers man
Fucking ayyy man... Dimitri on the team literally ruined the show for my kids and myself .. it lost any semblance of what could be reality with that move.. hope dudes jaw breaks in the first match
Agree exept Kenny.Demetri is stronger then Kenny and also it wouldnt be interesting if that would be the Team
@@mikelo9266had a seizure reading this
@@JavahFusion
Why
@@mikelo9266 (edited) Mike don't try me like that 💀💀
Kreese could be hiding his wealth. all the poor homeless stuff could be another one of his deceptions. Someone who was a captain in the Veitnam war couldn't be shadowed so easy by Johnny unless he wanted to be.
Atleast Bert and Nathaniel are still bros
The creators are said to be "fans" of the OG trilogy, right? Then why do they keep ruining the characters??
I think if S5 had only the first five episodes released at first, it would have gotten the same amount of criticism this season part gets.
I think the first part was purposely intended to reignite old rivalries as a teaser for the next 10 episodes where everyone will know the best way to win is to work together. Myagi Dojo doesn't stand a chance unless Johnny and Daniel work together and unite. Only then will the other rivalries subside and the students will be at their best. I applaud the writers for getting this out in the open sooner rather than later. I'm waiting for the heartfelt moment between Johnny and Daniel where they both admit they are better together than apart
What bothers me is that the South Korean Cobra Kai students *have no idea* that Miyagi-Do exists or that they are about to fight in a tournament; yet they are supposed to eternal enemies to each other.
It makes sense that the original Cobra Kai in South Korea isn't interested in Kreese's rivalries, as Master Kim Sun-Yung takes a very decentralized approach to people setting up "franchises".
He doesn't tell them what to do, doesn't demand a cut in the business profits, etc. Kreese and Silver trained under him over 50 years ago, and he hadn't once done anything to promote his teachings.
I got the sense that he *liked* being "secretive" and that he wasn't doing this to be popular or win tournaments, but because he genuinely believes in his creed.
So what does he and his students get out of this? They don't care about the rivalry, so it's not based on "revenge" or ancient hatreds. They have ten episodes to resolve ALL of these problems, and I just didn't see how they can do that in such a short span of time; unless each episode is an hour long or something.
This season is very disjointed. I still think the best ending would be with Miguel as the champion and Johnny as once again the Cobra Kai sensei. The show was at it's BEST with Johnny and Miguel. When stingray is trying to convince Johnny to be the Cobra Kai sensei again, it seemed to be going that way by the way Johnny reacted but then the next scene is Johnny just giving up and telling Daniel that it SHOULD be Miyagi Do. That's just one example of weird scene to scene flip flops
agreed
I think Miyagi's whole story won't be a giant misunderstanding. The big three talked about it, they thought the POV that Miyagi was perfect with no flaw was unrealistic. And what they're trying to paint this as a reference to is a kid growing up idolizing their parents but realizing they made an unfortunate decision. How life comes with ups and downs and realizing that even though they made a mistake, those mistakes made them who they are. They said they wanted to make Daniel look at Mr Miyagi like just another human being. They said they don't intend to undo Mr Miyagi's good things, but to paint a full picture rather than see him as a deity.
So it being a giant misunderstanding contradicts two things here. How is Daniel going to see Mr Miyagi on the same dignity if it all turns out Miyagi was good all along. And two, they make it clear he probably did make a mistake even if it was honourable. The only question is how vile? My guess is he was in a bad emotional state after the war similarly to Kreese (Hurwitz said Kreese was supposed to be a good man that anyone could be turned down a dark path), perhaps this necklace belonged to his wife, they refused to give it over. And Miyagi beat them up enraged. I feel whatever happened at the tournament as they said for "mistakes made them who they are" I feel the Sekai Taikai is what made Miyagi turn to that competitions are bad and "win, lose" no matter.
In terms of Johnny and Daniel. I think their arc is amazing. It's not repetitive because between the two their is no rivalry unlike Season 4 but Johnny is done with Daniel. But like the writers said and I figured it out the second it happened, they both learned their lesson, don't project this problem onto the kids. That's why Johnny says he'll stay to train the kids. Their conflict in Episode 5 is fantastic. Two people stuck in their beliefs (S4 reunion made it clear they're still set in their ways), genuinely trying to help a girl who lost her mother in the ways they think is best. Daniel including Amanda, Sam, and Robby sided with wanting the fight to stop. But Johnny made it personal cause not only has his roots of a Cobra Kai never abandoned him (ie coping with anger) but him remembering the day his mother died 100% stuck with him considering she was the only person he cared about, and he had no way of taking out his anger. So in his eyes, Daniel is letting that happen to Tory, and that enrages him because he feels he actually can help someone do something he wasn't able to do, and Daniel mentions Mr. Miyagi. Something Johnny was growing tired of as Season 6 went along. Which is a fault of the fact Daniel didn't mention to Johnny he was about to give up his dojo name which may have softened Johnny if he realized Daniel was humbler than he thinks.
I personally don’t want a Miyagi prequel, I think with a character like Miyagi less is more. My hope with the box is that maybe Miyagi had a student long before Daniel who was beaten to a pulp or maybe even to death in the tournament, maybe this is why Miyagi didn’t like tournaments and didn’t teach a more aggressive side to karate anymore. Maybe he trained boxing once upon a time to make his karate more aggressive but turned his back on all that after this event
Johnny needs to find a way to mature differently. That fight with Johnny fighting Mike was nothing all because Johnny is not understanding purposes of Mike's selection. Johnny was wrong for not sharing his feeling for Tory's loss and Daniel was right for stopping the fight seeing Tory's dangerous state after what happened in the past and now. How was Johnny trying to usurp LaRusso Auto? Too bad Chozen had to leave without seeing the importance of Captain in the sekai taikai. Amanda was wrong for snitching. Eventually they will get back together as a team. I hope they can make the Miyagi-Do win so Daniel steps down leaving Johnny to run Mr. Miyagi's legacy.
or johnny just open back cobra kai
@@ravin3191 What would that do after everything that had happened?
Johnny beating Mike, especially as easily as he did was 100% plot armor because he's the main character, nothing more. The theories of Mike "being rusty" and Johnny being "more active" are not viable since we just saw Mike fight in season 5. He fought Chozen to a draw, who Johnny's not at the level of, and made the easiest work of those instructors while he was conscious during that fight. He knocked each of them out with 1 hit, including saving Johnny's life from the toughest of them all who he couldn't beat on 2 different occasions. The "Johnny's been cross-training in Miyagi-Do now" excuse isn't believable to me either since it's only been a short time and he's not at Chozen's level. Considering Mike fought Chozen to a draw and destroyed Daniel in the tournament in the 80s, he's no stranger to Miyagi-Do and Johnny didn't have anything special to offer him in such a short period of time. Plus, Mike isn't the 1st person on the show to roll off the couch decades later and still have it. Johnny's buddies in season 2 showed they still got it in that bar fight, especially Bobby. Terry Silver had as much time off as Mike and he's able to kick just about everyone's ass on the show. No one ever brings that up about them. So this was 100% plot armor taken too far. It should have gone to a draw to avoid hurting either characters' images. If they don't bring Mike back in a future episode or spin-off and beat Johnny in a rematch or someone who Johnny can't beat, they essentially destroyed his image and brand as "Karate's bad boy," unless you're someone who can write it off as plot armor.
This summed up my thoughts exactly. Season 3 ended with Daniel and Johnny finally on the same side only for them to split up again in season 4 but at least they worked things out. In season 5 they legitimately felt like friends which was awesome. The fact that the writers felt the need to regress them like this and do a literal repeat of season 4 is ridiculously frustrating. It makes me wonder if this is a result of the writers not having enough story for 15 episodes and maybe they're just repeating these plots to fill time.
Every Friend argues
This basically shows that ever since what happened to Daniel and Johnny in high school they will never forgive each other for that. Even though Sam and Tory tried to kill each other but are now friends.
Which is annoying. It’s high school. Daniel is a millionaire. Happened 40 years ago. Get over it already
Johnny's the only 1 of the 2 tryna move forward.
Daniel and Johnny are past what happened in high school. It’s just with their differences in teachings that’s the problem. Like why can’t the writers just ever make their relationship perfect. This is why they don’t make the show right
Bro they did. They stopped caring about rivarly past S4. Daniel and Johnny literally never brought up their past in S6. They were mad because their philosophies collided with Tory.
@@kyleb7974 Oh so they’re still friends then right

You can support him. But he’s still wrong this season.
@@shadowsansvii8715 Johnny is mostly wrong. Only time he was right was in S4 avt
If Johnny was going to leave Miyagi-Do, that means he would quit his job at LaRusso Auto which includes abandoning his plan to find a new home for his new family. Carmen, Miguel, and maybe Robby would not like that he’s backing down on the plan just bc of Johnny’s argument with Daniel
If he wins the sekai tekai he won't need to work at laruso auto
@jayzee8190 but does winning a tournament guarantee anything do u get a cash prize?

I think the effect of Daniel punching Johnnie in the face is grossly under estimated. Something like that changes a relationship even if Daniel is remorseful. Just look at what it did to the Golden State Warriors.
It's also the second time Daniel sucker punched Johnny. Remember the beach party.
@@crusader2112 yeah that's true
Hot take: Johnny deserved to get punched in that scene 100%
He was out of line disrespecting Miyagi like that. Remember the scene from KK2

@@davidm7852 Johnny deserved that punch for saying that about Miyagi after what he did for Johnny in karate kid 2
While I don’t like some things like how Johnny more or less “falls in line” this season, and them fighting again, I will say that the fans need to take it easy a little bit on S6. The key word here is PART 1. This is not its own season, it’s the first 5 episodes of a 15 episode season. Saying it’s the worst season because of the pacing is like saying a movie is bad after only watching the first 45 minutes of it, when it has 90 more left to go. We need to wait and decide how good/bad the season is once we can watch it all concurrently. You can’t judge something when there are missing pieces still yet to be uncovered
I think the charges against kreese have been dropped already that's how he can travel. But who paid for it and who load for torys ticket 😅😅
Maybe Col Dugan is behind kreese. I am.sure he was in the flashbacks in s.3
P.s. Daniel stopped the fight also because Sam would have got hurt for sure since Tory fought with anger! Sam and Robby saw it as well
Talking about Devon being the weak link is wild... Dimitri is the weak link, kid is useless we all know it and the writers are forcing him down our throats... I'd take Devon till the day I die over diweaktri.... also none of Barnes drills made any sense... especially the last one... they could have walked in the woods found a flag abd walked back untouched and that proves nothing... smfh if Dimitri wins one single bout then the show lost all credibility.... also Johnny > Miyagi glazer danny... my god Daniel starts every God damn argument and everyone is getting sick of hearing about miyagi
They'll make up. They always do.
Idk why but i feel like the strike had something to do with the sub par writing
Not likely.
I feel like the opposite should be true. The writers being on strike didn't stop most of them from writing. It actually gave them a ton of time, pressure-free, to get it right. A lot of it was written pre-strike, too.
Streams are always bangers so if u think u dont know what to post u can just stream and talk to supporters
yes, they need to stop doing those breakups; it's getting really stale
Although powerful of the performance from Peyton List the hack that she went to cobra Kai and back to Chris was an obvious four-point but at the same time she was agreeing through a lot of things after the death of her mother and then didn’t realize that like all throughout like I say season three how much the family tried to help her and even though that was when Sam and her were at each other‘s throat now that they’re talking, I found it hard to believe that that one note from kreese was enough to set her on the path back to cobra Kai the grieving part I got but that one note with him showing up and you know your head full of the things were gonna turn on you no matter what because they don’t care about you is this is really that was just not that I believe it went for the show itself. The whole season was great. I enjoyed it. There were episodes that like people didn’t like. I think they were just motivator episodes so cut the slack… she was trying to find his balance😊lol
Bonsai!
A well stated video. It was dissatisfying. However, I was satisfied with Johnny beating Barnes. Cobra Kai is ultimately about Johnny.
So I DONT agree that Daniel was right and Johnny was wrong. Fighting it out works for some people and not for others. I feel like the right step would be to just take her aside and ask her.
I think it’s dumb. They should’ve just let her fight. It was basically 2-2 so there was one point left
And she is old enough to decide for herself Daniel was out of line
But Sam didn’t want to fight. So that’s that. Why the heck would someone want to fight another person when they’re in an irrational state after their parent died?
@@roundtable3501 bro it was already 2-2
I feel like either way would’ve ended the same. She wasn’t fighting with the tournament in mind or with points in mind she just wanted to fight and to release the anger. Getting shots in after her points were scored would’ve just pissed everyone else off, her new found friendship with Sam and everyone at Miyagi do would take a turn. And she isn’t in the mind state to talk things out so the way I see it working is even if she won that fight overly aggressively it would’ve caused her to leave out of frustration anyway 🤷♂️ like death of her mother or not, Daniel isn’t gonna just sit there and watch her beat the ass off Sam
There was no challenges for any of the characters
There was no character development what so ever
There was nothing at stakes for any of the characters
There was no one to root for
There was no thrill as a spectator...
...Just fill-up nonsense plotline...predictive storylines all over the place and forced and weird fight sequences.
On top of that, we had poor taste and cringy dramatic or comedic scenes:
- Pinkface for Daniel Larusso that is clearly reminiscent of a blackface
- Black people humiliation ritual by using scatological jokes for Kenny
- Asian people humiliation ritual for Kyler by eating on the floor
- Creepy moments with Johnny Lawrence with female teenagers at a sleep over in a basement.
In whos right mind this is funny or clever writing in 2024?
The ultimate question is: ''...Why it happened to one of the top show on Netflix on its last season?...'' They've promised the biggest season ever and we had this instead. ''...Why could they not deliver?...'' They had plenty of cash and plenty of time to make things right.
Now, I pray for Hilary Swank, the youngest 2 time Oscar winner, to not be part of this hot mess. Not after the traumatic fiasco of The Next Karate kid.

Yep
@@mysticranger6894 Bro what???!!!
Johnny matured. Danny did not.
I honestly thought Johnny showed major growth by not hitting Daniel back. I just hated that scene all together, period. After 40 years and 5 prior seasons, the Sekai Taikai was one tournament they should’ve been totally in_sync for. Them being at odds once AGAIN, especially after the major growth in Season 5, that only made for major backtracking at the end of Part 1 in season 6. BIG mistake.
Danny always backtracks. If Johnny took complete control over training, Kreese's and Silver's factions of Cobra Kai would've lost the 51st All Valley.
Sorry for sounding drunk but I have the flu so my voice texting is misread a lot of what I’m saying lol 😊

No. If they actually let Johnny act like he did in season 5. The show would have been great. Give him his brain back.
@@shadowsansvii8715 are you saying Daniel being a twat has nothing to do with the show not being as great as it could be? Daniel is easily the most annoying character and Sam is a close second, figures she's his daughter.
Johnny will take back cobra kai and put miguel back as captain hoping he becomes more badass against Kwon
I’m waiting to watch the season all the way through so I have the complete story and I can make honest judgment on the season as a whole rather than judging based on the first 5 episodes
i dont get these i loved every part of the season(except when kreese gets bitten by the snake that litterly is poison enough to kill like 15 elephants dont remember the exact number of elephants but its unrealistic) and i think its leading up to being the best season yet
I can definitely echo the conflict for conflict's sake sentiment. Most of the times it felt out of place and out of character, not only with Johnny but also with characters like Tory, for example. Her leaving like that, joining Cobra Kai, and no one else trying to get to her before the reveal, was a little too much.
Season 5 should have been the end. It wrapped everything up nicely with all foes as friends and Silver behind bars. Let the audience make up Kreeses future from there.
Season 5 ending was terrible. It made no sense at all.
3 grown men attack silver at his house based on no recent provocation. Nothing recently had happened other than Mike Barnes being upset saying silver burned his store. (Was it ever confirmed it was silver? Only ever seemed implied and never by silver).
The kids go to the dojo after hours and hack security footage. Dumb
Dojo fight was dumb.
Daniel fights silver at silvers dojo. Silver loses to Daniel just dumb.
Kenny who was fine all season with cheating upon seeing the video of silver admitting to bribery is done with silver.
Stingray who made a false witness and lied at the hospital and in court for personal gain, recants in a parking lot.
Silver is being arrested. Again for what? Nothing that night was on him. Was he being arrested for bribing a ref of an under 18 karate tournament? Get out of here.
I get it. There were a lot of call backs. And it had all the “good guys” teamed up against the big bad. But it was just all dumb. They wrapped it up in a bow like they did because they probably thought that was it until Netflix said go ahead and do 1 more.
Another watch party ‼️
Should have ended at season 5 cause wtf is this season bro
I understand why Daniel looks up to Mr. Miyagi, but he should have learned that it is okay to mix styles which Sam, Robby, and Miguel do.
Honestly why fight again? I do understand both sides, but they should have had a compromise, yes, but also no they should not have let Tory go and should have said that she can come back a week or so to fight again instead.
Daniel has learnt to mix styles, he hasn’t shown anything that opposes that.

Yeah, I didn't like how they nerfed Mike Barnes this season. He held his own against Chozen quite well in season 5, so I think it should've been a tie between him and Johnny.
I didn't like the split between Johnny and Daniel either, but I do appreciate how the writers made sure that it was multiple things that led to it, not just one. (The whole dealership thing, Johnny confronting Mike Barnes behind Daniel's back, Daniel not letting Tory fight, etc.) and let's be honest, Tory would've busted Sam's nose if Daniel hadn't stopped her.
From all the comments I've read on other videos, a lot of people are arguing over who's in the right and wrong between Robby and Tory. Some say that Tory is a bad girlfriend for not telling Robby right away after her mom died, and some say that Robby is a bad boyfriend for not going after her when she left Miyagi Do. I know it's just a show, but their actions/inactions are quite accurate to how these things would play out in real life. The reason why Tory didn't answer her phone when Robby tried to call her was because she didn't have the energy to talk, and the reason why Robby didn't go after her when she left was because he was giving her time to grieve, and that's also why none of the others reached out to her afterward.
Of course, none of us expected Tory to rejoin Cobra Kai at the end. Maybe we'll see a flashback in part 2 of how she approached Kreese and rejoined his side. Or maybe he approached her? Who knows.
That being said, I'm gonna quote Green Lantern here: "She's had an unfathomable loss, and she needs time to process it."
Also, sorry for the long comment.
I dont agree johnny was really better than mike barnes just look at last szn
About the Johnny vs Barnes thing: I dont understand why people have problems with it. Mike s offensive is 10 out of 10, but he lacks defensive. Johnny back in the 80s was offensive 9 out of 10 but also with almost no defensive. Today Johnny s defense has evolved while Mike still has none. So its fair Johnny won.
Look the fight again. When Johnny tried his Cobra Kai offensive, Barnes got the upperhand, I mean when both fought offensive. Then Barnes tried to insult Miyagi-Do, calling it soft with meditation etc., and Johnny began to use Miyagi-Do against Barnes, the defense, and Barnes couldnt deal with it. So basically Johnny didnt just defend the Miyagi name, he also used it to beat Barnes in end.
Other things:
Only one guy (maybe others did it too, I didnt see all reviews) pointed out he found that thing with Kreese and the white magic Cobra and the mystical snake venom very weird. When I saw Kreese going in the cave, I felt more like watching Indiana Jones in _Raiders of the lost Ark_ instead of _Cobra Kai_ , when Indy tried to get the Arc, fell down and had all the cobra snakes around him.
And this venom is also very fictional. Its possible the Kim clan uses that stuff to make people loyal, removing their weaknesses and softness, and all warm and positive feelings they have for others. And I really dont hope we gonna see in part 2 Tory got a shot from that stuff too to make her loyal, removing her warm feelings to Robby, Sam and the others, and that was the reason she joined Cobra Kai, not just because her mom died (or was killed).
So I hope this venom thing was used only once and wont show up again. It was more like from an Indiana Jones movie, like when Indy got drugged by antagonist Mole-Ram in _Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom_ .
One of my concerns for part 2 is that they did a kind of _Santa Barbara_ soap opera gossip dramas among the teenys in Barcelona during the tournament, means:
1) "Big" Axel Kovacevic flirts with Sam or even more.
2) Jaesung Kwon flirts with Tory or even more.
3) Zara Malik flirts with Miguel/Robby or even more.
4) Draga flirts with Miguel/Robby or even more.
If all four points would become true, I could only shake my head in disbelieve, that would be like a character assassination for the valley teenys. I really hope they didnt do that! Otherwise I would criticize Jon, Josh and Hayden (or the people on Netflix) to hire such writers, because writers who write stuff like this most probably work part-time for some gossip plattorms like TMZ etc..
Its just about finding Problems because when Season 6 wasnt realesed i dint see 1 Person who sayed Mike Barnes is stronger then Johnny now everyone complains about it
@@mikelo9266 Many people thought Barnes was stronger as Johnny, at least when they were young which is very likely. But I always found Barnes overrated by fans like Ken Cole etc.. Daniel was in a bad mindstate during the whole _KK3_ movie, even before Barnes and Silver showed up.
In _KK1_ Daniel fought for Ali, in _KK2_ he fought for Kumiko, but he didnt fight for Jessica in _KK3_ , and Daniel can only reach his 100% when someone he loves is on the line. This seems to be the same with Robby. We saw now in S6E5 he needs Tory, he only reaches his 100% when she watches him, she also watched im in S4E8 during the prom fight, when Robby was also 100% and got the upperhand over Miguel.
Only after Barnes insulted Miyagi in the end, calling him a fake, phony, what he teaches is no karate at all, that was the moment when Daniel took it personal. Then his real fighting spirit awoke and he brought out his best karate, and he defated Barnes with one move.
If Barnes had a knife on the throut of Kumiko for exmaple, Daniel would have fought him with a complete different mindset as he did in _KK3_ , but too many fans simply dont understand it.
My stats would be like this (the young versions):
Offensive/Defensive
Johnny: 9.5/5
Barnes: 10/5
Daniel: 6/10
Chozen: 9/9
Chozen was in totality the most complete. He didnt have a real weakness, and he only lost to Daniel because of The Drum, but also because of his mindset, he fought against (all population including his uncle Sato), Daniel fought for (Kumiko, all population of Miyagi's village incl Miyagi and Sato).
Barnes offensive was the best, but his defense was always basicall non existence. And Johnny has improved there.

Nah Young Mike was a National Champion he was very strong even before Terry and Kreese trained him but he was out of shape and dint trained for 30 Years that why got defeated by Johnny.
I think we might be far enough along to post a spoiler warning at the front of vids, as in if you ruin it for the rest of us, you out.
So frustrating
Cobra Kai is a worst show ever
Cobra Kai is a embarrassing show
This Series is becoming ridiculous..
Part 1 should have been everyone training and learning new skills. Pick the team in episode 1-2. Then you have Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Barnes train the main 6 and the 2 backups.
As for the Tori vs Sam fight. Johnny, who also lost his mother at a young age and knows Tori better than Daniel literally said that’s what she needed, to fight. I would say Tori gained the point due to Daniel interference when Tori was going to have the point. The fight will postpone for now and continue tomorrow. Then I would take Tori will me (Johnny) to talk. Johnny can tell her how he lost his mom at a young age and was just full of sadness and anger for a long time. Tell her how Kreese was like a father figure for him and had him channel those negative emotions which turned him into a bad person. Apologize to her for not being there for her in the past but will be there for her moving forward.
The writers are terrible they always ruin their character
And yet, you still watch it. Stop being a crybaby!
@@GothamKnight84661 I'm not being a crybaby you are cause you mad
@@GothamKnight84661 we can still watch something and the writing can still be shit bruh 💀
Honestly the show is called Cobra Kai n it's about Johnny n Miguel; NÒT Daniel n Sam n this obsession with Miyagi Doh!!
My theory;
Miguel n Johnny both leave Miyagi Doh and for different reasons;
1) Johnny to retake Cobra Kai n boost his ìncome
2) Miguel leaves to win n boost his academic reputation for college acceptance plus he could rehookup with Tory.
Plus...the show is called 'Cobra Kai'...🤷♂️
3)Miguel, Tory n Devon will rejoin Cobra Kai after she confesses n gives Kenny her place rightfully after her shitty(pun intended) move😂😂
PS I can't stand Sam's character but I like Tory's for Miguel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The series is about Daniel and Johnny
Miguel Robby Sam etc are Deutergonist
@@mikelo9266the show literally started with Miguel and Johnny
@@IDK-p6d8c
Nice,but Show is still about Daniel and Johnny bro
@@mikelo9266 but it’s still about Miguel tho
Don’t act like Miguel is some side character now
@@mikelo9266 even tho the show acts like it
The last 3 seasons have pretty much sucked. Didn't Daniel in his own words say "Some of Eagle Fang is good".... Now he's back to Miyagi-Do 100%! And freaking out when Johnny teaches any of his methods? Like then WTF is the purpose of Johnny, to be Daniel's pet? Daniel is so unlikable now.
Is Daniel just the dumbest clown out there, or are the writers out of ideas, where they need to recreate fake friction between the two again. It was old by season 3. It's very old by season 6 and none of it even makes sense! lol... They teamed up because they finally embraced each other's differences, only to, completely fight about their differences, AGAIN!!
Johnny and Daniel have spent enough time around each another to get used to the fact both are different. And it seemed like both were at peace with it by season 5.
And their differences weren't even causing any conflict! Just dumb writing. Makes no sense.
And the big reveal of Tory going back to Cobra Kai, was just super dumb. No logic to it at all, just for the shock value. Her last scene with Kreese pretty much told us she knows he used her (which he did) and that she doesn't trust him. Eh, okay, back on Kreese's side. WHAT? Nothing even makes sense anymore. I guess they don't want us to think at all. I can forgive how absurd it is a felon like Kreese is able to fly all over the world like it's nothing at least. All these twists and turns, that don't make any sense. I hate it.
WATCHPARTY: Walk on the right side of the road safe, walk on the left side of the road safe, walk in the middle of road (squished) like Grape. You Karate Do yes or you Karate do no. Cobra Kai S6 part 1 is the Same Thing apparently. I feel like there were just so many setbacks that were resolved throughout out the series shouldn’t have gotten rehashed again at all especially where Johnny and Daniel are concerned because that’s a big part of what caused part 1 to get (Squished) like a grape. Also you’re not the only one that noticed Sam’s growth and maturity being the most prominent and positive thing in part 1, I noticed it too especially in episodes 3 and 5. I believe as well that Johnny was more out of line then Daniel was (not that Daniel was without his own faults and didn’t add to it) and seems to forget that doing things the Miyagi Do way is what he signed up for at the end of episode 1 nor does ever even acknowledge that Miyagi also saved his life and if I’m being honest I would have preferred watching a scene where Robby, Amanda, or even Devon were shown going after Tory, trying to convince her to stay as opposed to watching Daniel and Johnnys little hissy fit over who’s fault it was that she left in the first place. I give Sam a free pass because it wouldn’t have been a good idea for her to approach Tory in that moment after she left until she at least calmed down after a day or two.
Well said. I guess we'll see where it goes from here.
Its nonsense in real life johnny dont get a kick or punch on barnes its all barnes he knocks him down then slides down low and does him no chatting ,and he would do it with defence just in case,if your black belt your ovsessed with doing both aytack and degence at the same time,its stupid esp after he proved hiw good he was against chozen,johnny is a wimp compared to barnes,just pure nonsense,ive had a fight or two in my life i know what im talking about
One of my favorite scenes in part one of Cobra Kai season six was that Tory Nichols rejoined Cobra Kai, Kwon fights aggressively against the other Cobra Kai students in South Korea, Tory Nichols fights aggressively against Sam, John Kreese goes into a cave overcomes his weakness, and I also liked the scene when Johnny Lawrence fights Mike Barnes.
There are no Cobras in the wild in South Korea
All Daniel or Johnny have to do is contact Interpol about Kreese being a fugitive
