It was fun, but I am super confused that they still want to do more? It has now fully turned into a Karate-Telenovela.
Does it make sense that a couple of middle aged guys who won a few children’s karate tournament 30+ years ago are somehow the best fighters on the planet? No.
Also the ending made zero sense
Barnes, Chozen, and Johnny break into Silvers home and start a fight with Silver’s guests/security staff. Simultaneously, the Miyagi-Fang break into the Cobra Kai dojo, get into a separate brawl with those students, steal a bunch of electronic files (of what appears to be 4k security footage with audio), and then post them online. Then Daniel beats up Silver (who as far as anyone knows is a wealthy philanthropist and Vietnam war vet) in his own dojo.
Oh and by the way Mike Barnes also decided to help himself to one of Silvers Rembrandt.
So Terry Silver is “going to jail for a long time” for…what exactly? I 'm not even sure bribing the karate judges is an actual felony. At worst I think would be a civil dispute between the All Valley Tournament Committee and Silver.
Beating up Stingray?
Some form of felony assault or battery. Conspiracy. Terroristic threats. Probably some sort of perjury or false statement.
Conspiracy to commit arson. Maybe a little something for bribery. Reckless endangerment of minors (not that most of the adults aren’t also guilty of that).
Season 6 is all the grown-ups training their respective jailhouse gangs, with Kreese still on the loose and laughing at them all.
I’m pretty sure I remember Mike saying that Silver gave him 50% of Cobra Kai when it was starting up. I kept expecting that to be a plot point in the wrap-up - nothing like a hostile takeover to get the blood pumping!
Watching season 6. They sure say “Sekai Taikai” a lot.
My first thought: those “teenagers” ain’t getting any younger. I think the technical term is “90210 syndrome”.
Sekai Taikai part two Sekai Taikai of season Sekai Taikai six is Sekai Taikai out now Sekai Taikai. I’ve Sekai Taikai watched the first Sekai Taikai episode so far. At some Sekai Taikai point along the way, the series really jumped the Sekai Taikai shark. Sekai Taikai.
I put off watching season 6 until both halves were released, only to find at the end of the 10th episode that this season has three halves. Five more episodes come out on February 13th.
Episode 10 was one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen.
Why does Larusso keep saying "we have no idea what we’re going to face in the Sekai Taikai. It seems doesn’t appear to be some secret Kumite. They can’t go find old clips of past tournaments on YouTube or ESPN8 (the Ocho)?
I was also more than confused to learn there is even MORE to come. What is happening? My wife an I had loads of fun seeing people run around BARCELONA and asking random people “Have you seen some teenagers”? 
Episode 10 was the required brawl episode, but taken up to level 100 with the ridiculousness. It was televised right until the point were the official said “stop the feed” Those are some dedicated TV Crews, I have to say!
What in blue heavens was the point of the little return trip to Barcelona for pregnancy troubles? Those are two 14h one way trips, and the tournament just, waited? Was there some agreement that mommy and grandma have to have one scene per mini season and they couldn’t think of anything else?
And after Miguel assaults the drunken passenger, the police THANKS them???
And the Sekai Taikai is obviously a surprise tournament of WWE level shenanigans, where no one knows what kind of crazy competitions the organisation is pulling up next. There was even a steel chair at some point!
I fully expect the end of the season to feature Miyagi as a Force Ghost leading Miyagi Do to team up with the Fast & Furious team to go into space.
I think I’d respect the show more if that was the end. Give it a The Supranos send-off.
I’m waiting for an opponent so big and evil that Johnny and Daniel and Kreese and Silver have to put aside their differences to take it down together in a large but overall extremely low-stakes teenage karate fight.
Well, the series is done. No real tension in the end because you have to know that the good guys are going to win.
No more big brawl scenes. The series didn’t end with a bang, but Kreese and Silver did!
Two of those “teenagers” are now getting married to each other.
My thoughts on the final episodes so far (about halfway through it):
I loved how the big death at the end of the mid-season finale ultimately had zero emotional and dramatic weight. Basically some anonymous kid with no family raised by the dojo whose death only served to create an opening on the Cobra Kai team for Miguel, move the competition to the Valley, and give the senseis a few minutes to ruminate as if they weren’t going to go forward.
Speaking of which, I guess it’s just that easy to put an international sporting competition on hold for a month and then move it’s location halfway around the world? I guess no one had to make travel plans or take time off from work or hire new vendors or anything?
Tori kicked the crap out of Zara using the Power of Love.
You can change teams during the championship? I bet Travis Kelce wish he knew that last week.
They couldn’t figure out a way to shoe-horn Hillary Swank’s character into Cobra Kai? I mean they threw Elizabeth Berkley in there for no reason.
It does, I think, have one impact. (Spoilers for the next couple of episodes) I think it plays a key role in Kreese finally coming to admit that he’s the baddy and to try to redeem himself
What weirded me out was, Kreese and Silver literally got blown up, and no one seems to realize it. We get one brief aside from Sensei Wolfwannabe, “Why isn’t Silver here?” and that’s it!
Well, there was a scene of the All Valley committee tussling about vendors and Silver mentioned he would pay for all of it so presumably they had some degree of financial latitude (which, btw, I hope they got the money up front and not Net 30 because good luck tussling with Silver’s estate lawyers and getting the money out of probate).
As someone who has had a small amount of exposure to large scale event planning, what bugged me more was a tournament set up in a way where, in an extremely rare circumstance, an extra day can be tacked onto the end. Like, maybe in this instance, the venue was only being used for karate but your vendors have prior commitments they’ve locked in. You signed a tv broadcast contract, what programming did they have to pre-empt to be able to put your little sensei fight on for the guys at the bar? There’s like, actual financial penalties associated with that.
Definitely not the most unrealistic thing put on screen by this show but it bugged me nonetheless that the creators have zero respect for the discipline of event planning!
