Warning: Spoilers for Cobra Kai season 6, part 2
After Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 Netflix appears to have a new top fighter. In terms of the broader franchise, it’s commonly accepted that Pat Morita’s Mr. Miyagi possesses unparalleled skills. Its reputation remains largely undisputed, but when it comes to Cobra Kai cast of characters, the consensus is that Chozen Toguchi is the best of all their martial artists. However, it appears that this is no longer the case now that Wolf Sensei has been introduced.
Played by Mortal Kombat star Lewis Tan, Sensei Wolf made his debut in The Karate Kid universe in Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2, as Wolf, the head of the Iron Dragons dojo. A competent fighter, Sensei Wolf emerged as yet another antagonist to Johnny Lawrence and Daniel LaRusso when it was discovered that he was involved in a secret alliance with Terry Silver, whom he encountered some time later. Cobra Kai season 5 finale. From the looks of it, he may very well have the best team in Sekai Taikai, which can be attributed to his own skill level.
Sensei Wolf is the most dangerous martial artist in Cobra Kai
It took a team of Johnny and Daniel for them to have a chance against Sensei Wolf
Over the years, Cobra Kai The story featured several talented fighters as main characters, but none seem as formidable as Lewis Tan’s Sensei Wolf. What he brings to the table as a fighter was on full display in Cobra Kai Season 6, Episode 10, when he fought Johnny Lawrence. Johnny, who had defeated a handful of Kim Sun-Yung’s adult students (not to mention Mike Barnes), barely held his own against Wolf in a one-on-one fight. Johnny was clearly defeated and had to be helped by Daniel. This fight did not have a definitive winner, but Wolf’s ability to land blows on Johnny is a strong testament to his skills.
The clear distance between Wolf and Johnny says a lot about their position in the show’s power structure. While there was the impression that Chozen was also head and shoulders above the likes of Johnny and Daniel, that hasn’t been the situation for some time now, as he went toe-to-toe with Mike Barnes in Season 5 and his performance in the battle against Terry Silver is comparable to how Daniel and Johnny fared against him in their respective rematches. Based on this, Chozen may indeed be better than both, but the difference is not significant – not like Sensei Wolf.
Why Sensei Wolf being stronger than Karate Kid’s legacy characters makes sense
Sensei Wolf is younger and trains harder
The idea of ​​the franchise allowing a non-legacy character to surpass Johnny, Daniel, and presumably even Chozen may be surprising, but it makes a lot of sense. After all, most of the returning characters, like Daniel, Johnny, Kreese, Silver, and Barnes, were introduced as fighters who became negligent in their training at some point or another. Most had to rediscover their fighting prowess. Just like Kreese and Johnny, Wolf faced a downturn in his career, but the difference between them is that Wolf didn’t stop fighting. As Terry Silver’s flashback confirmed, even when he was at his lowest point, Wolf was still active as a martial artist.
An advantage that Wolf holds over the entire legacy Karate Kid characters (including Chozen) is their relative youth.
His lifelong commitment to fighting is shared by Chozen, but despite this, Sensei Wolf still comes across as a superior fighter. An advantage that Wolf holds over the entire legacy Karate Kid characters (including Chozen) is their relative youth. Wolf is still in his prime and therefore naturally stronger and more agile, while the other senseis are decades older. Wolf’s healthy life, as described in his first conversation with Johnny, is further evidence that the character is simply in better fighting shape than his contemporaries in Cobra Kai.
