In addition to reuniting members of the cast, the franchise focused on the war over control of the Valley that was first sparked at the end of season 4 and unfolded -- sometimes in brutal fashion -- during the latest episodes.

Following the results of the All Valley Tournament, Terry Silver (Thomas Ian Griffith) focused his attention on expanding the Cobra Kai empire as he tried to make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only way to fight.

But Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) wasn’t having it, and after recruiting Chozen (Yuji Okumoto), the two were determined to put a stop to Silver once and for all.

John Kreese (Martin Kove), meanwhile, may have been behind bars – but that didn’t stop him from causing trouble of his own. And given how ends, Griffith teases that the series, if renewed for season 6, will “start with a clean slate.” While speaking with ET, the cast opens up about the finale and what’s in store moving forward.
