Cobra Kai Season 6 Is Sensei Kreese’s Last Shot At Redemption
Usually, when a new season of Netfli’x Cobra Kai comes around, we already know who the villain is going to be. The series has done a masterful job of leaving a healthy amount of breadcrumbs at the end of each season to tee up the next antagonist. Season 6, the show’s final, is different, though.
At the end of Season 5, good prevailed. The villains were defeated, and the San Fernando Valley was seemingly safe from nefarious karate practitioners who enjoyed punching and kicking their rivals. Seemingly, even Sensei Kreese (Martin Kove), who has been a thorn in Daniel LaRusso’s side since the first Karate Kid film. So what happens now? That’s the question GameSpot had when visiting the set of the show’s final season.
“Where we are at the beginning of Season 6 is a unique place for Cobra Kai, co-creator Josh Heald explained to a small group of press. “The events of Season 5 kind of saw the end of all villainy, the end of the antagonists, the defeat of Terry Silver–Kreese notwithstanding. He’s in the wind. But it’s the first time and a long time–the first time since Season 1–that you’re not beginning with the pot already on boil and multiple characters who need to crush each other or a deal of ‘we’ll see you at the tournament and we’ll settle all scores there.’ It’s finally a moment of ’the air is clear.'”
