The beginning of Cobra Kai season 6 focuses on Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence uniting their students under a single dojo to prepare for the Sekai Taikai, an elite international martial arts tournament. Despite their history, they work together to train a strong team that includes Miguel, Robby, Sam, Hawk, Dimitri, and Devon.
Their training methods clash at times, but they share the goal of defeating Cobra Kai on the global stage. John Kreese, previously thought to be out of the picture, resurfaces after his prison escape. He makes an attempt to reclaim Cobra Kai, seeking vengeance and redemption.
His presence disrupts the balance, leading to tensions within the dojo. Kreese’s return, along with the ongoing rivalry, sets the stage for an intense battle that will play out in Cobra Kai season 6 part 3.

As the tournament draws near, tensions rise within both camps. Tory, struggling with the loss of her mother, is conflicted about her role in Cobra Kai. She briefly leaves but ultimately returns under Kreese’s guidance. Her decision creates a rift between her and Robby, who has committed himself to Miyagi-Do’s teachings.
Daniel makes a surprising discovery about Mr. Miyagi’s past. He learns that his mentor once participated in an early Sekai Taikai tournament. This revelation changes Daniel’s perspective on the competition and motivates him to train his students with renewed purpose.
Meanwhile, Terry Silver makes a shocking return, aligning himself with an emerging rival dojo, the Iron Dragons, led by Sensei Wolf. The introduction of this new dojo raises the stakes and adds a fresh layer of competition and danger leading into Cobra Kai season 6 part 3.
Additionally, Johnny finds himself facing new challenges outside the dojo as he prepares to become a father. Balancing his responsibilities as a coach and soon-to-be parent proves difficult.

From its opening frame, Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 establishes two things: tension will be high, and the stakes even higher. Confident, capable young fighters gathering for combat generate hostility, but the newest batch of episodes concludes on a tragedy.
The Sekai Taikai tournament in Barcelona serves as the battleground for both dojos. Early rounds test the fighters’ skills, but an unexpected turn of events alters the course of the competition, which Demetri describes as:
"The most prestigious karate tournament in modern martial arts history."
The tournament has also gathered elite fighters from across the world. Hawk compares it to the Olympics, emphasizing the level of competition.
The Iron Dragons, led by Sensei Wolf, emerge as the dominant force in the tournament. Terry Silver extends an offer to Wolf which was to lead the Iron Dragons to victory and humiliate Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai, with Silver funding his endeavors in return. Meanwhile, Kreese plots his revenge on Silver, culminating in a violent confrontation during the chaos of the tournament.
During a semi-final match, Kwon, one of Cobra Kai’s top fighters, is fatally injured in an accidental stabbing. The tragedy shakes all competitors, raising questions about the tournament’s future and the philosophies they have been taught. When Udar Tigra dojo is disqualified for using performance-enhancing drugs, a brawl erupts, leading to Kwon’s fatal injury. Gunther, overseeing the tournament, calls for the streaming feed to be cut as chaos ensues.
The shocking event shifts the focus from winning to reflecting on the deeper meaning of martial arts. Daniel, Johnny, and their students struggle to cope with the consequences, while Kreese sees the situation as an opportunity to further manipulate his fighters. Meanwhile, Miguel and Robby find themselves leading their team through uncertainty, while Sam faces her own doubts about continuing in the competition.
As part 2 comes to a close, the tournament is put on hold, and the fighters are left questioning their purpose in the competition. The final episodes will determine whether the dojos can put aside their differences and find common ground or if the rivalries will escalate into a full-scale conflict in Cobra Kai season 6 part 3.
