Warning: Minor Spoilers Ahead
Fun fact: I love a good redemptive story. Seeing the quintessential bad guy confront his demons and move on from his mistakes is an encouraging reminder that our past doesn't define us. And if there's one character who perfectly embodies this, it's Johnny Lawrence.
I recently binged the final five episodes of Cobra Kai season six, which takes place shortly after that devastating twist at the Sekai Taikai in part two. As a result, the tournament gets canceled—but Terry Silver goes above and beyond to ensure the tournament resumes so his team can win. Fighters are eager to get back on the mat as tensions run high between the rivaling dojos. But as much as I enjoyed the epic fight sequences, it was Johnny's story arc that stood out to me the most. (Also, in a surprising twist, Kreese goes through a radical transformation, which I'll get to later.)
