Netflix's Cobra Kai fans share chilling theory after watching season 6 part one finale

This article contains spoilers for season six part one.

Cobra Kai fans have been left in suspense after Netflix released the first five episodes of the sixth season, only to make viewers wait four months for the second part.

In a new strategy, the streaming giant has decided to split the final season into three parts, each consisting of five episodes.

The second part is set to premiere on Netflix in November, leaving fans with a lengthy wait for their next Cobra Kai fix.

The first part concluded with a heartbreaking twist for Tory Nichols (Peyton List), whose mother passed away after a long illness. Despite her loss, she chooses to channel her energy into karate and the upcoming Sekai Tekai.

When a match with Samantha LaRusso (Mary Mouser) is cancelled, Tory makes the unexpected decision to return to Cobra Kai co-founder John Kreese (Martin Kove), shocking her former teammates. Meanwhile, the students of Miyagi-Do are pitted against each other to determine who will be the men's and women's team captains for Sekai Taikai.

Following Tory's dramatic departure, Sam takes over as women's captain, while Miguel Diaz (Xolo Mariduena) and Robby Keene (Tanner Buchanan) face off. In a tight contest, Robby secures the position, reigniting his old rivalry with Miguel.

After the gripping finale, Reddit was abuzz with fan theories about what's next for season six of the hit series. One eagle-eyed viewer speculated that Tory might not be the only character making a return to Cobra Kai, suggesting Kenny Payne (Dallas Dupree Young) could also reappear.

They wrote: "What if Kenny rejoins Cobra Kai too? Kenny went away thinking Anthony put laxatives in his drink (which he didn't). And he didn't come back afterwards.

"Also, for cobra kai you saw only 4 fighters last scene (Tory, and 3 Korean fighters) what if Kenny also joins Cobra kai again? It could be possible, as Kreese was in America to convince Tory. He might have also convinced Kenny." (sic)

Another enthusiast raised a chilling possibility regarding Tory's mother's demise, posting: "bro did kreese kill torys mom? ? ? cuz in the scene it zooms into her moms fist... which im guessing hints to smth." (sic)

And touching on the mystery surrounding Mr Miyagi's past, another fan theorised: "Another possibility that I don't think anybody mentioned yet regarding Miyagi's box: The headband might have belonged to Miyago's father.

"Maybe there's other stuff in that box that relates to his father. And/or, maybe he brought that box (or contents) back from his last trip to Okinawa (from part 2).

"Remember, his father passed away in part 2, surely Miyagi brought back some items that belonged to his father. This obviously doesn't explain other stuff such as miyagi's gym connection and the assault/robbery thing. But not everything in that box has to be related to each other." (sic)

Cobra Kai season six part two will stream on Netflix from November 15. The first five episodes are available to watch on Netflix now.
