Has ‘Cobra Kai’ Set Up a Perfect Mr. Miyagi Arc for Johnny Lawrence? Here is How the Bad Boy of Karate Can Finally Seal His Good Ending
Those who love karate would be aware of The Karate Kid film series. Based on the film, recently with the sixth season of the show, Cobra Kai has become a fan favorite. While all the characters have their own psychological and emotional development, fans love Johnny Lawrence way too much. Although the sixth season would be the last of the franchise. Can the last season give the perfect ending to Lawrence and Kreese’s rivalry?
To conclude the story of sensei Lawrence, he needs to go back to his roots. If you remember, after the All-Velley Tournament, Mr. Miyagi saved Lawrence’s life from his sensei, John Kreese. Mr. Miyagi could have hurt Lawrence’s sensei more seriously but chose not to do so. Instead, he simply conked Kreese’s nose. Well, this epic scene could be the closure for Lawrence and Kreese, according to ScreenRant.
At the end of season 5, we saw John Kreese escaping from prison while Terry Silver rightfully ended up in prison for assaulting Stingray. This makes it clear, Kreese will be a little more villainous in the upcoming season. Although Lawrence has accepted his past and is trying to get over the hurdles, he and Kreese still need to work on some unresolved issues between them.

Amidst these chaotic and thrilling situations, how can bringing back the Mr. Miyagi scene could help Johnny Lawrence?
How can Cobra Kai season 6 give a good ending to Johnny Lawrence?
Lawrence needs to go back to his roots to make things right for the future. When Mr. Miyagi chose to end a violent fight against Kreese in The Karate Kid 2 with a conk on the nose, he established the importance of mercy. At the beginning of the first season, the show recreated Lawrence and Mr. Miyagi’s initial interaction from the movie. Therefore, it is logical to end the show with the same.
Lawrence was the only and last person in the film who had experienced the intensity of Mr. Miyagi’s strength. Therefore, only he could fill his shoes. Despite having significantly different methods, the outcome of both sensei’s methods is the same.

Of course, by being a sensational guide and sensei to his students, Lawrence has made a huge difference in their lives. Thus, now to complete the full circle and get the perfect ending, he could make the changes in the life of his sensei, John Kreese.
After the last interaction he had with Mr. Miyagi, Lawrence left the Cobra Kai Dojo while leaving his father-like sensei. Given the show’s ending with the last season, it would make perfect sense to recreate the scene and bring an end to their story.
