It's wild to remember how Hawk didn't always have a giant mohawk.

It's the beginning of the end now that the first batch of episodes for Cobra Kai's sixth and final season have been released.

Part 2 is scheduled to drop in November, with the series finale dropping at some point in 2025. 

It feels like it was just yesterday that Johnny Lawrence decided to reopen the infamous Cobra Kai dojo and continue a 35-year karate war with Daniel LaRusso.
