Notice! Spoilers for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 ahead!
Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso began their feud in 1984 The Karate Kidbut Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 paid off even better than I could have imagined. The Netflix series is quickly approaching its big finale, which means the various storylines that have spanned six seasons will finally be wrapped up. In the case of Johnny and Daniel, there are decades of conflict between them that Cobra Kai will definitely have to be resolved. Johnny got the ball rolling with a specific line The Karate Kidand his speech in Cobra Kai season 6 feels like the beginning of the end.
There’s a lot to love Cobra Kaibut like many others, I predominantly listen to Johnny and Daniel’s stories. These are the characters I started to invest in as a kid watching the Karate Kid films, and the idea that their rivalry would continue was the main point of interest when watching the spinoff TV series. However, until now, Cobra Kai ignored a touching line Johnny said to Daniel at the end of the 1984 filmand I’ve been waiting for the moment when that would change. Although this has not yet happened, Cobra Kai season 6 was worth it Karate Kid moment in an even better way.
Johnny telling Daniel he “needs” him in Cobra Kai makes up for his Karate Kid line
Johnny is once again recognizing Daniel’s quality of character
At the end of The Karate KidAfter Daniel won the All-Valley Tournament, Johnny made the heartbreaking decision to give the championship trophy to his opponent himself. As he handed it over, Johnny said, “You’re fine, LaRusso“, proving that, although a little rough around the edges, there was a solid sportsman in this character after all. Cobra Kai was built on the fact that Johnny has a good heart deep down, but his The Karate Kid line was ignored. He started season 1 completely resentful of Daniel’s victory, but his Cobra Kai The Season 6 Part 2 speech has a similar tone:
“You and I have our moments, but one thing we share is that we are there for the kids and they need you right now. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I think I need you too. So get your ass back here.”
Johnny said this in a voicemail to Daniel in Cobra Kai Season 6, Episode 7, ‘Dog in the Fight’, as his co-sensei desperately tried to escape his captors. Before being locked in a dog cage, Daniel disagreed with Johnny over the best way to teach his Miyagi-Do students, and it seemed once again that their rivalry would never be resolved. However, the fact that The Karte Kidof Johnny Lawrence was able to tell the man he hated so vehemently that he “it needs“He’s a touching way to build on the conclusion he reached so many years earlier – Johnny is willing to swallow his pride when praise is due.
Johnny and Daniel’s relationship has come a long way – will it last?
Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 3 Will Determine the End of Johnny and Daniel’s Story
Johnny hated Daniel as a teenager, but Mr. Miyagi’s student finally earned his respect by winning the All-Valley Tournament. However, when his life began to fall apart, Johnny returned to despising his old rival. Cobra Kai saw this hatred only increase as the two established rival dojos, but some common enemies and a shared passion for their students slowly allowed them to put their differences behind them. Yet, his fights in Sekai Taikai in Cobra Kai Season 6 proved to me that the competitiveness between Johnny and Daniel hasn’t completely disappeared.
Johnny’s willingness to abandon his pride for Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 – just as he did at the end of The Karate Kid – satisfies my desire for his earlier acceptance of Daniel to be incorporated into the spinoff series.
Johnny’s willingness to abandon his pride Cobra Kai season 6, part 2 – just like it did at the end of The Karate Kid– satisfies my desire for her earlier acceptance of Daniel to be incorporated into the spinoff series. Sure, they disagree and argue, but that doesn’t change the fact that Johnny and Daniel have helped each other become better people. There are still a handful of Cobra Kai there are no episodes of season 6 left, and II’m sure it won’t be perfect between these old rivals as things get even tougher. Still, they will certainly be”all good.”

In his 50s and down on his luck, a chance encounter with a bullied young man leads Johnny back to Karate.
