The proverbial points clearly going to the Okinawan master, the actual fight goes to Terry. Distracted by the sounds inside the mansion, Chozen glances elsewhere, and the downed Terry manages to slash him across the back with his sword. Fortunately, we eventually discover that Chozen lives to fight another day. 4. Johnny Lawrence vs. Sensei Wolf (Season 6, Episode 15) Curtis Bonds Baker/Netflix This is the fight "Cobra Kai" has been building up to all along, made all the better by the fact that it focuses solely on the show's true hero. Threatening as the Iron Dragons' Sensei Wolf may be, he's not as much a character here as he is the physical representation of the show's ultimate antagonist: Johnny's deep-set insecurities. Wolf even briefly plays the embodiment of Johnny's darker thoughts when the pair inexplicably find themselves in the same empty locker room pre-fight.In the "Cobra Kai" Season 6 finale, "Ex-Degenerate," the show cleverly puts Johnny in the same role Daniel plays in "The Karate Kid" — a comparatively weak fighter who has to face a powerful, well-trained karate bully who's out to get him. Additionally, Daniel himself gets to play the Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) role as Johnny's ringside sensei, and the fight pays liberal homage to the 1984 "Karate Kid" movie's iconic All Valley Tournament final.This stylistic callback means that the three-point match for the Sekai Taikai team championship doesn't necessarily feature the show's finest choreography, but that's fine because the actual battle being fought here is "Johnny now vs. the man he used to be." As such, it's fitting that instead of a fancy special move, Johnny ultimately wins his most important match by learning from his most traumatic one. Here, he doesn't charge right into Wolf's Shaolin Sunset technique like he once did with Daniel's Crane Kick. Instead, he switches styles and lures the opponent in, countering the dangerous kick with a sweep and going for the endgame. The fight is the culmination point of six seasons of character growth and gets its message across so well that even the otherwise irredeemable Wolf can't help but show respect. 3. Tory Nichols vs. Zara Malik (Season 6, Episode 14) Netflix The girls' finale in the "Cobra Kai" Season 6 episode "Strike Last" delivers some of the most impressive fight choreography in the show's history, as well as a happy ending to its saddest underdog story. Outside the dojo, Tory Nichols is the show's resident punching bag. She deals with poverty, loss, and deep-set intimacy issues. She's manipulated by villainous senseis and takes so many hard knocks that Peyton List's expression of barely hidden pain is one of the most recognizable visuals of the series. What's more,
