Fans of "Cobra Kai" are preparing for what seems to be an epic final fight as the clock approaches. Fans of the popular Netflix series are already giddy with anticipation and jokes after the release of the new teaser for the show's last season. This trailer offers us a preview of the gripping martial arts drama we've grown to adore, and the February 13 release date is quickly coming.

A viewer remarked,

"I've seen this somewhere before,"

beneath the trailer's tweet, indicating that although some fans are excited for what's to come, others couldn't help but make some similar comparisons. The series' recurring themes appear to have been spotted, but that's half the fun, eh.


The final ‘Cobra Kai’ trailer drops, and fans are quick to react with hype, nostalgia, and plenty of jokes

The internet quickly shared their opinions about the final trailer, as expected. Fans naturally weren't shy in sharing their enthusiasm and humorous observations. One user tweeted,

“Free my girl Peyton List bro why is she always in these mid ass projects 😭😭,” clearly feeling for the actress’s luck in landing roles.

Another fan felt the pain of seeing their favorite character pushed aside, tweeting,

“Miguel getting sidelined again 😭,” referencing one of the show's beloved leads.

For fans who’ve been following "Cobra Kai" since its humble beginnings on YouTube Red, the iconic lines remain close to their hearts. Case in point,

“WAX ON WAX OFF” made a comeback in fan discussions, adding to the series' nostalgia.

Some fans, feeling the weight of this long-running show, chimed in with their age-related jokes, with one quipping,

“finally im old as dirt,” realizing just how long the series has been in the cultural zeitgeist.

Another fan, more amped than anyone, tweeted,

“Oh dam this is gonna be lit LFG,” reflecting the growing anticipation for the final season.

But it wasn’t all memes and jokes—some viewers pointed out the agelessness of certain characters. One tweet humorously asked,

“When does he ever get old,” pointing out how time seems to have little effect on the show's seasoned sensei.

A video of a man saying, “that’s what I’m talking about, that shit means something…” even made the rounds, capturing the intensity of the season’s upcoming conflicts.


A glimpse into ‘Cobra Kai’s’ final showdown

"Cobra Kai" has remained current during its six-season run, having begun as a sentimental continuation of "The Karate Kid" narrative. The final season, which teases a final tournament that would end years of dojo rivalry, will continue where the last cliffhanger left off. Even while the show frequently veered towards the absurd, it also had heartfelt, tense, and high-kicking moments.

A few more tidbits of the drama are shown in each of the few trailers for the final season, which yet leaves enough mystery to keep viewers on edge. The recurring character arcs and rehashed plotlines have caused some viewer weariness, as is the case with most long-running programs. Even those who make fun of the series can't deny their enthusiasm for a final run because of the show's devoted fan base.

"Cobra Kai" has a devoted following because of its unique combination of humor, drama, and action, whether you're watching for the fierce karate bouts or just because you miss the good old days of the 1980s. This last season will undoubtedly provide the high-stakes, extravagant action that viewers have been accustomed to, and the internet will be avidly following along with memes prepared as February 13 draws near.
