Featured reviews
Cinematography was amazing and had so much depth to it. The dialogue was suprisingly good for Cobra Kai, though I feel as though we could of gotten more. You really feel the final fight, you feel what happens. It seems you are the one fighting.
Cobra Kai never dies.
The choreography is top-notch, the tension is palpable, and the episode balances high-energy combat with heartfelt moments. The way each competitor faces their challenges-both physical and personal-adds depth to every fight. With an electrifying finale that keeps you on edge, this episode captures everything that makes Cobra Kai great.
I've loved every season of this show, but this episode stands out as my absolute favorite. The intensity, emotion, and sheer excitement make it the best Cobra Kai has ever been!
May Cobra Kai never die!

- TriviaIt is confirmed that Dennis was ordered by Terry to burn down Mike Barnes' furniture store in the fifth season.
- GoofsThe embers that flash off the side of Silver's head, after Kreese throws the cigar at him, are clearly CGI. Rather than "bounce" off of his head after making contact, they "appear" just next to it.
- Quotes
John Kreese: I saw you talking to Johnny on the way out. I recognize that look. So whatever it is that you got planned, it ain't gonna happen.
Terry Silver: Isn't that noble? And pathetic! After all this time, after he rejected you over and over and over... and you still can't shed that weakness!
John Kreese: On the contrary! He's a source of strength. He always has been! A student worthy of my dedication... who has since surpassed his teacher.
Terry Silver: That's a low bar, John. His teacher isn't what he used to be.
John Kreese: Let's find out.
Terry Silver: [grabbing a broken wine bottle] Yeah, let's.
John Kreese: [sardonically] Really, Terry? I thought we were warriors... and warriors fight with honor.
Terry Silver: Warriors fight with whatever they have.
[beat]
Terry Silver: Come on, let's do this.
John Kreese: So be it.
[he throws his lit cigar butt at Silver, burning him; he kicks the bottle from him and they fight hand-to-hand, with Silver knocking Kreese into a gas can, which spills onto the deck]
Terry Silver: Get up! Come on!
Terry Silver: [the fight continues, Silver has Kreese pinned to the deck, gasping] Oh yeah... this is how it was always supposed to end, John! You've been fighting your whole life! It's only fair. Don't worry... it'll all be over soon!
[Kreese reaches for his cigar butt, which is still lit... he throws it towards the spilled gasoline, Terry watches in horror]
Terry Silver: NOOOOOOO!
John Kreese: [smiles triumphantly as it lands] ... MERCY!
[the boat explodes]
