Cobra Kai season 4 ending explained (and what’s next for season 5)

What happens to Kreese in the Cobra Kai season 4 finale?

One of the biggest parts of the Cobra Kai season 4 finale is Terry’s betrayal. While he and Kreese are celebrating their win after the All Valley, Terry calls Kreese his “weakness” and the cops show up. They arrest Kreese for aggravated assault and attempted murder, and we learn that Terry set him up!

In a quick flashback scene, we see that Terry beats up Raymond (Paul Walter Hauser), telling him he’ll let him into Cobra Kai if he does him a favor. When Raymond is in the hospital, he tells a detective that the person who assaulted him was Kreese. This is all part of Terry’s plan to get rid of Kreese and run Cobra Kai by himself. Talk about a twist!

Where does Miguel go in the Cobra Kai season 4 finale?

Get the tissues ready, because Miguel has a big moment in the season 4 finale that’s bound to leave viewers emotional. After Johnny’s reunion with Robby, he heads home only to hear Carmen (Vanessa Rubio) causing a commotion from her house. He checks to see what’s going on, and finds out that Miguel left.

Carmen gives Johnny a letter that Miguel left her, which reveals he’s headed to find his dad. As we hear Miguel’s voiceover narrating the letter, we see him getting on a bus to Mexico City. He wants to figure out where he came from so that he can figure out who he is, although he’ll likely face one big obstacle if he does find his dad. According to Carmen, his dad doesn’t even know Miguel exists.

The very final scene in Cobra Kai season 4 is another huge one, as it teases what will happen in season 5. We see Daniel visiting Miyagi’s grave, trying to figure out what to do next with his dojo. Daniel asks if he will help put an end to Cobra Kai, and while it seems like he’s asking Miyagi at first, a figure then appears behind him — Chozen (Yuji Okumoto)!

It looks like Daniel and Chozen will be teaming up in Cobra Kai season 5 to take on the dojo.
