Spoiler-Safe Guide
medium confidencesource-verifiedAll 65 episodes across 6 seasons are listed. Episode titles confirmed from the Wikipedia episode-list page fetched in the prior research session. Season 6 aired in three Netflix parts: Part 1 (S6E1-5, July 18 2024), Part 2 (S6E6-10, November 15 2024), Part 3 (S6E11-15, February 13 2025). The Episode Events Index focuses on ★★ and ★★★ beats. All ★★★ events carry at least two independent Tier 1-3 source confirmations from fetches this run. Three factual errors from the original guide were corrected: the target of Johnny's aggression in S1E9 (Daniel, not Robby), the episode of Miguel's leg recovery (S3E6, not S3E5), and the characterization of Silver's response in S4E1 (he declines, does not agree). One claim was softened (Da-Eun's grandfather's "blessing" in S6E11). The S4E1 Silver arc was corrected: he declines Kreese in E1 and only hints at reconsidering; his formal return to Cobra Kai completes in subsequent episodes not individually sourced to a specific episode in this run.

Major events
Characters
Johnny Lawrence · William Zabka · debut [S1E1✓]
A bitter, alcoholic handyman who reboots Cobra Kai and slowly reclaims his humanity through mentorship. He evolves from an unreflective product of toxic coaching into a father, husband, and championship sensei who defeats the villain his old dojo created.
Daniel LaRusso · Ralph Macchio · debut [S1E1✓]
A successful car dealer still shaped by Miyagi's teachings. He reopens Miyagi-Do, reluctantly allies with his old rival Johnny, and ultimately honors Miyagi's legacy by choosing partnership over competition.
Miguel Diaz · Xolo Maridueña · debut [S1E1✓]
Johnny's first and star student. Goes from bullied teenager to champion, is critically injured, recovers through sheer will, and ultimately wins the Sekai Taikai men's title as a mature fighter who chooses honor over victory.
Robby Keene · Tanner Buchanan · debut [S1E2✓]
Johnny's estranged son who trains under Daniel before a catastrophic act of violence drives him to Kreese's side. A long journey through moral compromise eventually leads him toward redemption.
Samantha (Sam) LaRusso · Mary Mouser · debut [S1E1✓]
Daniel's daughter, torn between her father's world and her own identity. She overcomes trauma and a complex rivalry to become a leader in her own right.
Eli 'Hawk' Moskowitz · Jacob Bertrand · debut [S1E3~]
Transformed from a meek, bullied student into Cobra Kai's most aggressive fighter, then redeems himself by switching sides and becomes a trusted ally of Miyagi-Do.
Tory Nichols · Peyton List · debut [S2E4✓]
Arrives as Cobra Kai's most volatile student, defined by hardship and a fierce rivalry with Sam. Over time she learns the full extent of Silver's manipulation of her, chooses her own path, and wins the Sekai Taikai women's final.
John Kreese · Martin Kove · debut [S1E10✓]
The original Cobra Kai sensei whose reappearance sets events in motion. A manipulator who corrupts everything he touches, his final act is a self-sacrifice that can be read as either redemption or simply the last maneuver of a man with nothing left.
Terry Silver · Thomas Ian Griffith · debut [S4E1✓]
Kreese's wealthy Vietnam War comrade introduced in The Karate Kid Part III. Returns in Season 4 as the series' primary antagonist — funding Cobra Kai's expansion, bribing officials, and ruthlessly eliminating rivals, before being killed in a confrontation with Kreese.
Kenny Payne · Dallas Dupree Young · debut [S4E2✓]
A new student introduced in Season 4 who mirrors Miguel's early arc — bullied outsider recruited into Cobra Kai, pushed toward cruelty under Silver's influence, before gradually choosing a more honorable path.
Chozen Toguchi · Yuji Okumoto · debut [S3E4✓]
Daniel's Okinawan rival from The Karate Kid Part II. Appears in Season 3 as a redemptive figure who teaches Daniel a secret technique, then becomes a recurring ally in the fight against Cobra Kai.
