    No Mercy.

    A fitting title to an epic battle. This one 30 something minute episode had a resolution to everything that had preceded it. It blew my mind. Out of nowhere, a battle emerges in the most stunning showing of choreographed fight scenes in recent memory. It was gripping and thrilling throughout, and tragedy was bound to happen, and it happened to the most beloved character yet.

    I am so glad i found this show. This episode was worth binging the 5 hours straight up.

    Its not everyday one is pleasantly surprised by the writing of a show and has his expectations outdone. This is one of them.

    Season 3 will have a hard time outdoing this, but I am waiting patiently.

    mindblowing finale

    Damn great episode, kinda unrealistic in some parts but still great. Shocing ending. That was a great cliffhanger. Cant wait to watch season 3 tonight .

    Best episode in the entire series!

    This episode is neatly sewed on to include every flavours that a great finale requires and then some.

    Very good, one mild worry

    This show continues to be great beyond reason. This production sets the gold standard in properly treating an old property.

    That said, the war flat out war between Cobra Kai and Miyagi Do was rather excessive. We knew the war was coming, but I mean it went on way too long.

    Aside from that, it's thoroughly amazing how high this episode raises the stakes.

    A much better finale then you would expect

    Someone said you this episode makes the audience shocked and morally confused. That's true, but I also think that is the point. The bad blood accumulated among students of the two dojos, combined with the truly dangerous skills they acquired, was a recipe for bad things to happen. After a long timing training, the kids end up applying karate to personal feuds, romantic jealousy and settling of scores. Even with the most Myagi-like lessons, that will tend to lead to grave outcomes when all the tensions that escalated through the season climax in a chaotic confrontation between teens that don't know when to stop, are not aware of their own strenght, don't know how to use their skills responsibly, and control their emotions.

    Both Johnny and Daniel will have to live now with the consequences of their actions. Unfortunately, that is a recipe for a season 3 that starts slowly, as people will need to find a new relationship with karate before going back to training. I hope they will pull it off, because after the awesome climax and all the cliffhangers, there will be protests outside youtube if there is no season 3.
