On the eve of the series conclusion, fans from all around the world are taking to social media to express their love for the show, saying their farewells to the cast and crew and reminiscing with the rest of the fandom by sharing pictures and footages.

I’ve been covering the series since May of 2018 when it first aired on YouTube Red. In one of Jon Hurwitz’s Q&As on what was then Twitter, he had mentioned that they had an outline for six seasons. When the show moved to Netflix in 2020, fans were concerned if the show would end on it’s own terms. It did and with an additional 5 episodes!

“..there’s a resolve at the end of 6- at the end of the third drop.. that’s a great ending. For everybody.” William Zabka told Variety.

With a show with 10 episodes a season, runtimes ranging from 23 minutes to 48 minutes, and a cast as large as Game of Thrones (not even), it seems challenging to give every character their proper ending. IMO, these final episodes had some of the best writing, some of the best acting, and some of the most emotional sequences of the entire series. Yes it “sticks to its landing”. You get a sense of every character’s trajectory following the finale. Will there be some criticisms? Sure. Every fan has their own Stan(s), and their own heroes, good or bad. 

Fans can expect epic action and fight sequences, appearances from some familiar faces and some new ones, things that payoff from previous seasons, and some great needle drops!

Season 6 Part 3 of Cobra Kai feels like if the creators were given a chance to make a movie. A third sequel to the Daniel LaRusso saga that’s a good bookend to everything that’s come before it. 

“..we need to go back to where it all began.” -Daniel

The final episodes will release February 13th on Netflix.
