The first part of Cobra Kai‘s three-part final season ended with a new beginning. Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai both found themselves in Barcelona, Spain to compete in their world’s biggest, most prestigious karate tournament: the Sekai Taikai. Part two debuts November 15 and all five episodes are set in and around the event, meaning the show is about to have its biggest, most action-packed episodes ever.
The trailer for Cobra Kai season six, part two is now here and it backs up that statement and then some. In it you’ll see new locations, new events, new friends, new foes, and all of it taking place on foreign soil. Fans of the show are about to go feral. Check it out.
“Welcome to Barcelona, bitch.” Seriously, how rad is that trailer? And having, um, seen things (yeah, we’ll just leave it at that!) we can safely say this trailer is the perfect tease for the upcoming episodes. It simultaneously shows almost everything that happens in the second five episodes but without any context to spoil it. Basically you just know there’s going to be lots of action, lots of drama, and lots of Karate Kid references. Oh, and surely some surprises too.
Another thing that’s great (we’d imagine) about these next five episodes is that all of our main characters are together in the same place for the first time… maybe ever?
We’re talking senseis Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio), Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka), John Kreese (Martin Kove), Kim Dae-Un (Alicia Hannah-Kim),and Chozen (Yuji Okumoto). We’re talking Miyagi-Do students Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña), Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan), Samantha LaRusso (Mary Mouser), Hawk (Jacob Bertrand), Demetri (Gianni Decenzo), and Devon (Oona O’Brien). We’ll find out why Tory (Peyton List) defected to Cobra Kai, and who Sensei Wolf (Lewis Tan), Axel Kovacevic (Patrick Luwis), and Zara Malik (Rayna Vallandingham) are. (Zara is the one with the “bitch” line.) Then, yes, Amanda LaRusso (Courtney Henggeler), Carmen (Vanessa Rubio), Kenny (Dallas Dupress Young), and Anthony LaRusso (Griffin Santopietro) will be holding it down back in the Valley.
These middle five episodes set up season six’s final five episodes which will debut sometime in early 2025. Then, from there, the story shifts to New York for the movie Karate Kid: Legends, which is coming only to theaters. Cobra Kai creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg have nothing specific to do with that, but they are 100% on board with it.
Check back soon for an interview with those three guys teasing these next five episodes, and then lots and lots of discussion of what happens in the episodes too. Watch them for yourselves on November 15 on Netflix.
