**Los Angeles, CA** – After a six-season run spanning two streaming services and two Hollywood strikes, the wildly popular karate drama *Cobra Kai* has concluded its story on Netflix. The final five episodes of Season 6, dubbed Part 3, are now available, bringing a satisfying end to the saga of Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence, and their respective dojos.
The season culminates in the highly anticipated Sekai Taikai tournament. Intense championship matches pit Cobra Kai, now led by a redeemed Johnny Lawrence, against the Iron Dragons, headed by Sensei Wolf. Tory Nichols secures the girls’ championship, while Miguel Diaz triumphs in the boys’ division. A surprising tie between Cobra Kai and the Iron Dragons leads to a final showdown between Johnny and Sensei Wolf, resulting in Johnny’s victory – a triumphant full-circle moment for the character, decades after his loss to Daniel in *The Karate Kid*.
The finale sees Johnny achieve personal and professional success, including a *Sports Illustrated* cover and a new home for his family. He and Daniel finally forge a true friendship, together mentoring new Cobra Kai students. Other characters also find their happy endings: Robby Keene and Tory become karate spokespeople, and Sam LaRusso embarks on an exchange program to Okinawa.
Creators Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg spoke to *Variety* about the final episodes, highlighting the emotional scene between Johnny and Kreese, and the innovative recreation of Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi using a combination of practical effects and AI technology. They also teased future possibilities within the *Karate Kid* universe, hinting at continued exploration of the franchise beyond the main series. While *Cobra Kai* the show has concluded, the creators confirmed that plans are in place to continue the story in other forms. A new *Karate Kid* movie, *Karate Kid: Legends*, is also slated for release this summer.
