The fifth season of Cobra Kai started off a little lame, but ended with a big bang. By episode nine and ten, the series went into overdrive. The yet to be renewed Netflix hit series landed on September 9, 2022. Landing on nine months since the fourth season streamed on NYE 2021.
Will a sixth series be greenlit?
This is the third season to be released to Netflix, following its YouTube origin days.
Head of the Snake was the finale episode, so for a recap and my general thoughts on the season, see below the trailer. Warning there are SOME SPOILERS below!
Kreese, in prison, tries showing mercy towards a cellmate, but it ends tragically when he is presumably killed in a fight.
A vengeful Barnes, who hijacked the limo, decides to launch an attack on Silver and his senseis at his mansion, and Johnny and Chozen join him, but Daniel refuses, leaving him behind. Barnes is quickly subdued, while Silver and Chozen engage in a fight to the death, which ends with the latter being wounded.
Meanwhile, Johnny almost gives up on defeating the senseis, but does so after seeing an ultrasound of his unborn baby and is later assisted by Barnes. At the same time, Tory helps the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students infiltrate the Cobra Kai dojo and hack the mainframe to procure footage of Silver beating up Stingray, but when they find out the footage was deleted by Terry, they decide to upload the video of Tory's confrontation with Silver, in which he admits to rigging her match with Sam.
Mitch betrays them because of the Cobra Kai students not calling him Penis Breath, warning them about the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students' plan. A fight between the 3 dojos ensues, soon joined by Kim.
Devon switches sides and helps Tory fight Kim, while Eli and Demetri acquire the footage and join the fight.
Anthony grabs the Cobra Kai tablet, and as the Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang students protect him, he uploads and plays the video on the dojo screens via YouTube, disillusioning the Cobra Kai students. Daniel, Amanda, Carmen and a remorseful Stingray arrive at the dojo, as does Silver, who desperately talking to the Cobra Kai students, but they don't respond to him as his true colors are finally exposed.
Daniel challenges Silver to a fight using his training against him and finishes him off using a crane kick, which leads to Silver falling to the ground in defeat. Silver's students desert him, leaving their Cobra Kai shirts on him, and he is arrested when Stingray confesses to his false testimony.
Tory and Robby reconcile with a kiss, and Sam and Miguel confess their love for each other. Chozen arrives being heavily wounded and is hospitalized, while Barnes steals a painting from Silver to compensate for his furniture store. Daniel, Johnny and their students celebrate their victory over Cobra Kai. However, unknown to everyone, Kreese is revealed to have faked his death by using melted Jell-O as fake blood, and escaped prison.
Cobra Kai is sorted left wide open for a sixth season, but really how much longer can it go on for? I am assuming a little longer since it's commonly in the Netflix Top 10. Well definitely here in Australia.
As another long weekend/public holiday comes to a close hopefully I will be back to the movies really soon! If you need some viewing today, some light hearted, easy to watch viewing on the Netflix, give Cobra Kai a crack.
Seeya next time!
