Fans are on fire over Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 with the introduction of the Iron Dragons, a new dojo said to threaten the supremacy of Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai at the high-profile Sekai Taikai tournament.
The stakes now being global, this season is not about regional competition, but rather the depth the Iron Dragons have brought for people to start speculating about how the season would turn out.
Would Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai finally put aside their differences to fight this new enemy? With the subtle manipulation at play said to be the work of Terry Silver, one must imagine all the alliances, rivalries, and showdowns this might lead to.
Here’s what fans on X (formerly Twitter) had to say about the upcoming season:
@MetaphysicalPI - “I bet somewhere along the way Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai team up to defeat these next-level martial arts masters.”
A temporary alliance must surely come next. Both sides must take upon this formidable common powerful foe, Iron Dragons.
@DrXtreme80 - “Gonna be wild to see a bunch of super seniors defeat a bunch of well-trained fighters. But of course, the music will be epic as always.”
This comment hints at the show's cast's aging process as they enjoy thorough training and the sound of something fans are familiar with and love.
@H2ZFatJedi - “They’re fixing to team up Cobra Kai and Miyagi-Do, aren’t they?”
There is a high likelihood of the fact that it would be an alliance of the team because, in any case, there is much hype regarding such possibilities.
@KroghMusic - “Silver is so gonna be behind the Dragons! THREE dominant dojos will take center stage = Cobra Kai, Miyagi-Do & Iron Dragons.”
Some fans are assuming that the emergence of Iron Dragons has a not-so-secretly guiding hand through Terry Silver, as they create the perfect storm for conflict in Season 6.
@KingBrahma91 - “Oh snap, the Iron Dragons are gonna be a problem.”
With simple anticipation, this fan captures the feeling of many: the Iron Dragons are a force that'll bring high-stakes drama to the series.
@_seanyyboyy - “November 15th can’t come any sooner 🔥🐍 🐉 🥋”
The countdown begins, and fans are eagerly waiting for the epic showdown of three powerhouse dojos.
What we know about the Iron Dragons so far
The Iron Dragons are a new power that have risen from nothing, which is visibly apparent in Season 6. The dojo, led by Sensei Wolf, the Lewis Tan character, showcases a balance of traditional discipline with aggressive tactics that prove very potent in making it a rival to both.
In a recent clip, Iron Dragons soundly defeated Tory and her teammates at the Sekai Taikai tournament, signaling they are strong and strategic players. The tournament consists of 16 different teams, so the Iron Dragons are already set up as a serious competitor, which may break the established rivalry dynamics.
Their swift wins indicate not only technical mastery, but also psychological benefits that could unsettle the existing dojos. As the story unfolds, the Iron Dragons are sure to have a great deal to do with the outcome of the tournament and shake up the current order of karate.
The possible team-up between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai against a common enemy
With Iron Dragons being a huge threat at Sekai Taikai, fans are speculating whether Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai will form an alliance. Historically, dojos that always compete with each other may find common ground in overcoming the Iron Dragons.
It would allow Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence to combine their two different fighting philosophies—the defensive techniques of Miyagi-Do, combined with the aggressive strategies of Cobra Kai—to create something new and unique.
This could lead to some thrilling battles and character development as former foes have to learn to cooperate in order to defeat a common enemy. The stakes are high, if they cannot find a way to combine against the Iron Dragons, then both dojos risk losing their place in the tournament.
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 premieres on Netflix on November 15th.
