Cobra Kai star teases ‘devastating’ journey for Danny in show’s final season

As a long-time fan of the Karate Kid saga, I have to say that my heart is racing with anticipation for Cobra Kai season 6 part 2! The teaser about Daniel LaRusso’s emotional devastation and the potential dark past of Mr. Miyagi has me hooked. And let’s not forget the “deeply challenged” Johnny Lawrence, who will undoubtedly bring a new level of tension between him and Daniel.


In simpler terms, Ralph Macchio, who plays the lead role in Cobra Kai, hints at a heartbreaking conclusion for Daniel LaRusso, the original Karate Kid character.

In a private conversation with Digital Spy, Macchio shared that the second half of the series finale will leave his character deeply and heartbreakingly affected.

Macchio clarified that Daniel was delving deeper into uncovering secrets about Mr. Miyagi’s background, as suggested by the first installment’s revelations about his potentially mysterious past.

As he delves deeper into it in part two, the questions grow increasingly complex and could prove even more damaging and unexpected, or downright shocking. To add to this, events occur that veer sharply to the left in the narrative, when he anticipated they might head in a different direction.

In the upcoming episodes, it’s not just Macchio’s Daniel who will face challenges; actor William Zabka, portraying Johnny Lawrence, hinted that his character would be put through a significant test. Moreover, Macchio hinted at an escalation of tension between their characters, taking their relationship to new heights.

The lead character from Karate Kid mentioned, “They encounter a few setbacks and injuries.” Occasionally, they find it hard to avoid their own mistakes or provoke one another.

In episodes six through ten, things escalate significantly. On either side, there is tension, be it when they clash or when they eventually recognize the power in their unity.

Zabka commented: “I believe they improve at understanding and accepting their disparities, yet there are aspects that will remain unalterable for both, which is all part of development.

“It’s important to create space for people to be themselves, accept them as they are, and collaborate with them regardless of any changes. After all, neither person can alter the other, so it’s essential to seek common ground instead.

In further discussion about their bond, Zabka expressed: “I believe they truly comprehend one another. They’ve experienced so much together that they likely recognize the cycle of events in their relationship. Moreover, I sense a deep respect for each other and an authentic friendship of the highest quality, if I may be candid.

Moving beyond the previous adversarial bond, Yuji Okumoto anticipates development for his character Chozen.

Okumoto explained that his character, Chozen, experienced numerous internal struggles. He emphasized that these kinds of conflicts can be extremely perilous because they stem from deep emotional turmoil that Chozen experiences.

The first half of Cobra Kai’s sixth season is currently available for streaming on Netflix. The second half, set to premiere, is scheduled for November 28th.
