Really great points, I find them very convincing. The "scrappy" aspect of Daniel is a big part of things...what kid will do that much free labor on a guy's house if he's not totally committed?

Daniel was very uncoordinated & unbalanced at the beginning of his training. It's quite difficult to go from falling all over yourself to winning a tournament in a few months. If he displayed natural talent it would've been a bit easier to buy.
He didn't really "take out" the Cobra Kai guy, he landed a punch before the fight was broken up. The guy jumped right up like it was nothing. If Daniel had knocked him out or even stunned him, that would be different.
Anyway it's still a great movie and we don't have to agree on the real life plausibility.

I agree, we're not here for the accuracy of the Karate.
And in the Cobra Kai series, from what they've shown Ralph Macchio "do" as Daniel Laruso... I just don't think he'd really last AT ALL against trained martial arts opponents. Right?!

The early part of this season and last season started to wear a but thin as they were running out of steam. I think this season really could have been distilled down to 10 episodes.
At any rate though, a very great finish for the series.
It was especially nice to get back to Cobra Kai of season 1. After all , it is called Cobra Kai, not Karate Kid or Miyagi-Do. Really liked how Johnny's story arc came to a close. Also liked how Kreese was handled

Sort of digging up this topic -
I think it was almost plausible that Daniel won in the end. They needed to give him a little bit more athleticism/balance at the beginning and it would have worked. And tone down the severity of the leg injury during the tournament.
I doubt the original filmmakers thought it through this far, but IMO it was very wise for Mr. Miyagi to suggest the tournament (as a place to settle the score). It's more of a skills competition than a street fight. There are referees and they are counting legal & illegal hits. It's plausible that Daniel could beat some guys in those conditions even though he would have lost to them in a dark alley.
I was wicked disappointed with the beginning of season 6, basically gave up
This latest release I think it started with ep6 right? The VR episode, basically felt like it belong in the first part of season 6 release, because everything after that felt like season 1 all over again
I was hooked; loved how it basically closed everyone’s story, and focused on Johnny
Him landing the tornado kick was awesome

I don’t think it’s spoiler to mention the training montage. There’s always a training montage.
But I’ve said before: one is the worst things about this show is how they always train real hard the day before a fight. We’re past that. The day before is for rest. Some light stretching, balanced meal. Easy cardio to stay loose, it’s WAY TOO LATE for push ups to help.

BUT. I was ok with it this time because the Daniel/Johnny Rocky montage is the training montage I feel like we waited forty years for and it didn’t disappoint.
I take 2 weeks off before iron man every year, I still go to the gym, but it’s exactly that stretch, light walking..
I never picked up the training before fight day lol
I should say, for anyone in the fence, despite my gripes about training the day before a fight and the fact that the group brawls were just silly, in the end, on balance: this series did deliver what I wanted from it and they stuck the landing. The ending was satisfying fan service for those of us who love the original.
It was worth watching and I’m planning to marathon the whole thing soon starting from the first movie (skipping the reboot and the Hillary Swank one, which was ok, but clearly outside of the “canon” timeline).
