Netflix made a bold move by splitting Cobra Kai’s final season into three parts. Each segment serves as a mini-story arc, with Part 1 laying the groundwork, Part 2 intensifying the drama, and Part 3 promising a resolution to all conflicts.
Part 1 introduced fans to the stakes of the Sekai Taikai tournament, with characters preparing for their biggest challenge yet. It set the tone for what was to come while building tension among rival dojos.
Part 2 delivered explosive moments, from unexpected alliances to shocking betrayals. The tournament semifinals turned chaotic, culminating in a tragic accident that left fans speechless. The death of Kwon became a turning point, setting up high stakes for the final part.
When will part 3 be released?
Rumors suggest that Part 3 might drop on February 13, 2025. These speculations gained traction when some Netflix listings briefly mentioned the date, though the details were quickly removed. Could this be the finale date? Only time will tell.
Part 3 of Cobra Kai Season 6 is officially titled “The Finale Event” and will include five episodes, similar to Parts 1 and 2. According to co-creator Hayden Schlossberg, the decision to split the season into five-episode parts reflects the show’s natural storytelling style.
In an interview, Schlossberg explained:
“We’ve always written the series in five-episode chunks. It felt right to split the final season into three acts—like Act 1, Act 2, and Act 3.”
The tragic death of Kwon during the semifinals has left the tournament in disarray. How will the characters deal with this loss? Will the tournament even continue? These questions are bound to drive the narrative.
The international stage is set for some intense martial arts action. But the tournament’s fate hangs in the balance after recent events.
Samantha and Tory’s rivalry is far from over. Fans are eager to see who will emerge victorious in this high-stakes match. Will Robby and Alex have another shot at competing? Their semifinal clash was interrupted, leaving their journey unresolved.
Part 2 ended on a shocking note: Kwon, a Cobra Kai fighter, tragically died during a chaotic tournament brawl. This unexpected turn of events left fans stunned and raised questions about how the Sekai Taikai finals will proceed. Co-creator Schlossberg hinted that the incident will have major repercussions for the characters.
Schlossberg said in an interview,
“We’re not going to spoil anything, but this moment will deeply affect everyone involved.”
What to expect from part 3?
According to the creators, Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 3 will not leave fans hanging. Unlike previous seasons, which often ended with cliffhangers, the final five episodes aim to bring closure to every character and storyline.
“There won’t be any loose ends.”
Schlossberg assured fans.
“This is the conclusion where all the mysteries get solved, and the characters reach their full arcs. Of course, there will still be plenty of surprises and next-level martial arts.”
The decision to split Season 6 into three parts stems from the creators’ vision to give the story room to breathe. Each part acts as its own mini-season, focusing on different stages of the Sekai Taikai and the characters’ emotional arcs.
This unique release format also helps maintain suspense and keeps fans engaged over a longer period.
The journey from The Karate Kid to Cobra Kai has been nothing short of extraordinary. Over the past six seasons, the series has delivered nostalgia, action, and heartfelt moments that have resonated with fans worldwide. While it’s bittersweet to say goodbye, the creators’ commitment to giving the series a fulfilling ending is evident.
Whether you’re rooting for Miyagi-Do, Eagle Fang, or even Cobra Kai, one thing is certain: the final episodes will be something to not miss.
