5 main storylines we need in Cobra Kai Season 6

1. Daniel LaRusso's quest for Mr. Miyagi's secrets

Season 6 has a plot on Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio, trying to figure out the secrets of his mentor, Mr. Miyagi. We've always known how close Daniel and Mr. Miyagi were, but this season, we find out even more about their history together, and a mysterious guy named Master Serrano who's part of it all.

In one Cobra Kai episode "Dog in the Fight," Daniel gets a strange note from Serrano that makes him do risky things, which ends with his family in danger.

This story is going to show us some surprising ties between Mr. Miyagi and other important people in the show. It might even have a flashback that fans have been waiting for, to finally explain some things that have been left unanswered.

2. Johnny and Kreese's showdown

Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and John Kreese, portrayed by Martin Kove, have had quite an interesting journey in Cobra Kai. These two guys have a history that's full of tension and moments where they kind of respect each other, but only in a weird, complicated way.

In Season 6, it looks like there's going to be a showdown between Johnny and Kreese. Things heat up when Johnny has to go solo with his dojo. Since Kreese keeps stirring up trouble, it seems their relationship will hit a breaking point.

Fans are speculating about whether Johnny will choose the path of redemption, or if Kreese will try one last time to pull him back into the dark side. It's going to be an intense finale to their story.

3. The fate of the Sekai Taikai tournament

Season 6 brought in the big guns with the Sekai Taikai tournament, a global karate showdown where the most elite dojos come together to battle it out. It's got heat with teams like the Iron Dragons, who are helmed by the intimidating Sensei Wolf, played by none other than Lewis Tan.

But here's where things get worse - in Episode 10, a major throwdown happens, and it's so intense that Cobra Kai's very own Kwon, played by Brandon H. Lee, meets a tragic end. This has everyone talking about whether the tournament will keep going or get the axe because of what happened.

Jon Hurwitz, the mind behind the show, told Netflix Tudum, saying that Kwon's death is going to affect how the whole series wraps up. So, we're all on the edge of our seats wondering if the Sekai Taikai will go on or if it'll be put on hold. Whatever happens, it's going to be a major plot twist for sure.

4. Robby and Miguel's rivalry and potential reconciliation

In Cobra Kai, Robby Keene, played by Tanner Buchanan, and Miguel Diaz, who's Xolo Maridueña, have had this up-and-down relationship, like they're frenemies. They're always either trying to outdo each other or teaming up. But as they both aim to be the top dog at the Sekai Taikai, the rivalry heats up, especially when people start to question if Robby's got what it takes to lead his team.

In Cobra Kai Season 6, we see their relationship get even more complicated. It's like watching a rollercoaster with all the drama and tension between them. They have this huge fight over who's going to be the captain, and though Robby wins, he's got personal problems that interfere with his leadership mojo.

To wrap things up right, we need a big showdown or maybe they'll finally make peace. Something big needs to happen between these two, considering all the history they've got together.

5. The battle for Cobra Kai’s legacy

Since the very start, Cobra Kai has been about the ongoing battle between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai. Now, in Season 6, the show is taking it to a whole new level by introducing some fresh faces and dojos, like the Iron Dragons, which opens up the world of karate beyond just the local scene.

But, things aren't looking so peachy for Cobra Kai's future, especially with Terry Silver (played by Thomas Ian Griffith) stirring up trouble again. Even though he seemed to be out of the picture at the end of the last season, he's back with a new scheme to take Cobra Kai to the top through international competitions.

With all these new players and plot twists, we're all eager to see if Cobra Kai's ruthless, win-at-all-costs attitude will finally bite them in the rear.
