Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for the 'Cobra Kai' series finale.After its 7-year run, Cobra Kai has its swan song with the Sekai Taikai while also coming full circle and reminding us why the series exists in the first place. Taking place years after the original The Karate Kid, the Netflix spin-off shone a light on how losing the All-Valley Tournament to Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) rippled well into Johnny Lawrence's (William Zabka) life. He was only able to find purpose again when he decided to mentor Miguel (Xolo Maridueña) and re-open the Cobra Kai dojo. History weaves its way into the series' final episodes as Johnny and Miguel take center stage again, where their championship fights in the international tournament douse us in nostalgia.
