But how did Cobra Kai end and what happened in the final episodes? Here’s all you need to know:

Spoilers for Cobra Kai season six part three - including the last ever episode - to follow. Don’t read any further if you don’t want the ending ruined.

The future of the Sekai Taikai was thrown into doubt at the start of season six part three, following the tragic death of villainous Kwon. The Cobra Kai contestant was fatally injured after landing on a knife during the dojo brawl in episode 10.

Daniel is initially reluctant to approve the return of the tournament. But after meeting with Terry Silver, he agrees and the Sekai Taikai resumes in The Valley.

Robby breaks his leg and Samantha decides to step down, not wanting to fight against her friend Tori. It meant that Miyagi-Do was eliminated from the tournament.

After Kreese’s redemption, Johnny once again takes over as the sensei for Cobra Kai with Tory and Miguel taking part in the final of the competition. Tory beats Zara, while Miguel defeats Axel.

However the points were tied between Cobra Kai and Terry Silver’s Iron Dragons, meaning the result of the Sekai Taikai would come down to a fight between the senseis of the two dojos. Johnny would return to the ring in The Valley, bringing the story full circle back to 1984, and he faced the evil Sensei Wolf - played by Lewis Tan.

After struggling early in the fight, Johnny gets some tough words from his rival-turned-friend Daniel LaRusso who encourages him to attack instead of relying on Miyagi-Do defence. Returning to the mat, he is able to take down Sensei Wolf and Cobra Kai win the Sekai Taikai.

The two returning villains had different arcs in the final batch of episodes. Kreese goes through a true redemption, including returning Cobra Kai to Johnny.

In the penultimate episode, Kreese and Silver get into a fight on the latter’s yacht. During the battle, petrol is spilled and Kreese drops a lit cigar on it - blowing up the boat and killing both of them.

A large part of season six has focused on the future of the young characters - with applications for college on-going. Daniel had been pushing his daughter Samantha to stay in the Valley and go to UCLA, but in the first episode of part three it is revealed that she is looking further afield.

Ultimately, she decides to go and study in Japan - while Miguel will head to Stanford, but they embark on a long distance relationship. However he does accompany her to the home of karate to help her get settled in.

Tory and Robby are offered professional karate contracts. And become professional fighters.

Demetri and Hawk, who had clashed plenty throughout the season over their futures, both head off to Cal Tech and continue as the Binary Bros.

Kim Da-Eun is shown to be running her own dojo, while Chozen arrives at the end. Hinting at the duo continuing a relationship - after a fling in Barcelona.

Johnny continues to run the Cobra Kai dojo, while also incorporating Miyagi-do techniques of defence. He is also shown to finally be able to buy a house for his family.

In the final scene, Johnny and Daniel sit down for dinner and Daniel attempts to catch a fly with chopsticks, calling back to the original film. However Johnny squashes it with his hand.
