Join us in the extended Karate Kid cinematic universe aka Ralph Macchio's recession-proof retirement plan to witness a new champion, a new made up competition, and so many (too many) senseis! No bonsais were hurt in the making of this film.
We made it. The crowd is cheering. A champ is raised high in the air. And two weary podcasters stagger across the finish line of an emotional karate journey years in the making. JOIN US!
Kreese. Silver. A yacht. DENNIS. One or all of these things explode in the penultimate episode. Get us a body bag!
We are courtside (for the LAST TIME) at another seedy karate tournament! We are joined by "teens" of indeterminate age, Kreese, Silver, and Dream Miyagi back to emotionally wreck us.
On another very special Cobra Kai: tired friendships make a comeback! Tory might want to quit but stalker Sam won't let her, Robby's sensei is a robot, and Hawk considers a restraining order against Demetri. Anthony watches silently just off screen.
Sure, a man died by his own sword, but the tournament must go on! The teens muse about life after karate, Pod Daniel actually shows up to his job, and our DynaTox prince gets his dying wish.
In this episode, we finally get some overdue match ups: Daniel v. ChatGPT Miyagi, Kreese v. magic shank v. Silver's media team, and Kwon v. Kwon. JOIN US!
Silver is back and ready to drain the last of his offshore accounts for his dojo dreams! And we approve. It's time to get out of the hot tub and head to our four-hand massage appointment! JOIN US.
We have CHOZEN our adventure this episode...and it's tailing a bunch of wayward teens through Barcelona while Silver is reunited with his one true love (Kreese)! Oh and Iron Braid gets some...yay?
Who let the dogs out? Daniel, of course! RIP to the guys that died at Daniel's hand this episode. Will he ever be prosecuted for his crimes?!
We return from our hiatus to find Mom (Daniel) and Dad (Johnny) fighting at the big tournament, Tory going her own way, and Miyagi Do teens fucking FALLING APART. Join us!
Tory finally breaks bad and is back to fight on Team Kreese (with us! Or maybe, just one of us). Also along for the Barcelona Sekai Taikai ride: Aggro Miguel, Dejected Robby, Pissy Dmitri, and Sam, who's just here on a technicality. ¡Ole!
Sensei Barnes reports for duty...and this time he's NOT dangling teens and rare bonsais off a cliff. What happened to you, man?
Daniel's world is shattered when he discovers Miyagi's dusty box of salacious secrets. We're with you man - how dare this long dead old man have a life separate from his worst karate student?! JOIN US.
Sure, there's a prize in this episode - getting to watch Kreese knife an albino cobra in a cave! But the REAL prize was meeting the jocks that hazed us (and Kyler) along the way.
After many months away, we rejoin our haggard teens as they drag an unwilling Kenny back into the karate fold, Daniel pretends Miyagi-do is still a thing, and Chozen (cue the orchestra) tells us he's never leaving us/Casa LaRusso!
Travel back in time with us to the suburbs of Boston to witness Hilary's Swank's angsty misspent youth and Miyagi's last stand against a high school paramilitary group! You may not get Kreese or a plot, but you do get an aging paramilitary group and falcon shenanigans!
There comes a time when we must face our greatest foes and do battle....against false imprisonment, dojos with way too many students, and yes, even slow buffering surveillance footage. It's the season finale, and we're doing it OUR WAY.
Get into our limo for a wild night of Dungeons 'n' Dojos with a side of historical revisionism from resident grifter Chozen! Wherever you are Kumiko, RUN.
Another day, another karate tournament we're just now learning about, and there's no way Miyagi-Do is going to be left out even if they do no karate! Not on our watch. And definitely not on sketchy Gunther's watch!

if you have nothing nice to say about Robby then don't say anything at all
