    Incredible episode

    The suspense is nonstop since some of the matches are unpredictable. Great fights and slow mo that are expertly filmed. Some surprising and not surprising character turns. Why Larusso and Lawrence aren't aware that using all your training and talents to win can improve your chances at winning is mystifying but of course it leads to great drama. This show is still running on all cylinders and the next season can't come fast enough. Without a doubt one of the greatest finales in the history of television.

    Perfect Ending

    What a perfect ending to a great season, and what a great setup for what will surely be a fantastic season 5. After a somewhat weak start to the season, season 4 turned out to be a my second-favorite season (right behind the brilliant season 1).

    Great

    This season finale has its ups and downs..but it was still pretty amazing. Really amazing action and really amazing ending. Definitely the best season finale of cobra kai so far.

    Best season finale so far

    Do you remember how S3 ended and we all waited what will come out of it? Well all I'm saying is there are so many tense, opened points that the worst part is, we all need to do a Miyagi thing and be patient for S5 now.

    I'll be honest and first few episodes did not impress me, they lost all the tension built in previous season and there wasn't enough "Johnny humor". But boy did the season culminating with this episode redeemed itself! It shows great character build/grow and I can't wait to see what will happen next. Don't read, just watch it!

    A brilliant finale to a great season

    I have to say, this finale was one of my all time favourite TV finales, it was brilliant. The acting, writing fight choreography, everything was on point. I loved where this season took all the characters, from the dramatic storyline of Miguel, to the conflicted Sam, to the increasingly more interesting Tory, who in my opinion is the best character this season. What an arch her character is going through. I would say it is similar to Hawk/Eli, who is also really good this season. Every character in this show have their time to shine, even the new kid, Kenny.

    One of the best things about this episode, and this season in general is Terry Silver. He is as crazy here as he was back in Part 3. His sneaky backstabbing was on point, and I loved seeing Thomas Ian Griffith bring back that energy at the final moments of this episode.

    This season ended on a high note, with some very emotional scenes. I will give credit to Tanner Buchanan, who plays Robbie. I've never given much thought to his performance, but he gives his all in one of the most powerful scenes in the series in this episode, that made me swallow a lump.

    I'm looking forward to season 5, and by from they was filming is going on, we could expect that at the end of the year. Cobra Kai really is a fantastic TV show that respects the past and present.

    10/10.

    • Trivia
      Nariyoshi Miyagi's tombstone gives June 9th, 1925 as his date of birth and November 15, 2011 as the day he died. Pat Morita, the actor who played Mr. Miyagi, really was born in June and died in November, however the actual days and years are different. Morita was born on June 28th, 1932 and passed away on November 24, 2005, at age 73.
