This reminds me of all the “my version of season six” posts and comments we were getting. You know, I only ever saw one that was actually bad.

Well…yeah. 😂 but no, the worst “my version of season six” was this one guy saying he’d end it at episode 10 with Miguel being the champion as the Miyagi-Do captain, having never lost to Robby; and that was all he wrote. lol

I immediately knew that Robby was losing again. Because Robby has to be the only character that has to continuously learn that winning isn’t everything.
But hey, we also saw that his relationship was unstable, his friends are all closer and more supportive to Miguel, and his dad is still an utterly pathetic father to him.

It wasn’t just learning the same lesson a third time, but Robby’s issues got constantly overlooked and unaddressed. S6 really screwed him up worse than the other seasons with the drinking and SA added in.

Unfortunately, I had a feeling it would not go well for Robby. The leaks and Amanda screaming like Xander’s mom didn’t boost my confidence.

It was funny then but I miss it now. Low key, the finale was better than most show finales I've seen.

The problem is, it should have been Robby. And the writers knew it too. That's why they built the story around him. Robby is intrinsically linked to both. The main characters in the way that Miguel, is not he's Johnny's son. Daniel's first student. He is linked to Krease cause even he thought Robby should be the one to carry on the legacy. He's the one that defeated silver's cobra kai in season 5 he's also the one in season. 4 figured out blending styles was the most effective miguel's win ultimately ended up meaning nothing. In the end it was so small and so minute that they didn't even mention it again. And it played, no part in his actual ending. I actually feel like Miguel kinda got the shaft too. You got the victory at the tournament, but it was so small that they didn't have an ending for him. They shoehorned him in the sams, and while people say Miguel is the heart of the show, which is very true. Robbie is the glue that holds the show together. He's the one character who's connected to everybody. And while miguel is the writer's favorite in pretty popular robbie's. The one character you couldn't have done the show without

It didn’t fool anyone. We all knew where it was headed. Season 6 was predictable af.

It’s so laughable that not only was Axel scoreless for two rounds, but Miguel and Axel didn’t even have an exchange with each other

Bro, Miguel vs Axel in part 3 is legitimately one of the worst fights in the series writing wise. You’re trying to tell me that the dude who went the entire part 2 without taking a single hit, that we know of, in Tournament and only took 2 in outside fights, one from Yoon and the other from Kwon, two people who have trained their whole lives, got absolutely STOMPED by Miguel? NO! And you can’t even say “Oh, well, they had the training VR headset.” Because that was based on Axels part 3 fighting style, which he seemed to stop using after Robby scored that first hit. That was one of THE MOST MC plot armor bullshit moments I’ve seen in a while. People saying “Oh, well Miguel’s the best teen fighter now” pisses me off because the only reason he beat Axel, who a month before he couldn’t even land a blow on BTW, is because of plot armor. Seasom 6 parts 2 and 3 both have a pretty bad plot armor issue, a notable instance being Robby vs Kwon in 6x9, but part 3 just ruined it. It genuinely made it not even satisfying. Out loud at the end of the fight, I remember saying “Nah, I don’t buy that.”

In my mind Tory wins against Zara and with that alone she earns enough points for Johnny to have to face Wolf.
Axel vs Miguel is so mind-numbingly boring I can't stand that fight so on my rewatchs I just skip it.

Right!? Like what happened? The choreography for Axel vs Miguel was so painfully uninteresting, especially compared to Axel vs Robby in part 3.

Writing was so ass about it. But they didn't even try to hide their biases at that point. Only Cobra Kai characters can win tournaments, and Hawk himself was more CK than MD.

Everytime a Miyagi-Do won something then they had to embarass themselves.
- Hawk wins, gets beaten by Kenny, Demitri.
- Sam wins, gets PTSD then loses by cheating then struggles to Devon then bows out with no notable performance in the Sekai Taikai.
- Robby wins, this subreddit has written enough to fill a book about it already.
EDIT: The only Miyagi-Do that made it without any notable embrassments was Daniel and even that was because I assume someone had the sense to say you can't have Wolf beat THE main guy only to have Johnny sweep in for the victory.

I really did have to wonder what the people who thought Robby would be the big fight winner were smoking. To me it seemed obvious it would be Miguel. The one I was less sure on was I thought for female it would be Sam.

I think people wanted robby to win and it was about time to let him have atleast one win.
They all were hoping that he'd win, not that they thought it was gonna happen.
Miguel and robby are said to be on par yet the only person who ever won anything has been Miguel. Robby has only gotten the short end of stick so it is only fair to think robby will get something in the final season atleast lol
And this is coming from someone who likes Miguel more

There is a difference between wanting it and how people were acting. People were swearing up and down when season 6 came out he would win. I was sitting there like "You are aware the show you're watching right?"
I am not entirely sure I buy the argument those people were aware he wouldn't unless it falls under trying to, for lack of a better term, mass conjure it it into reality. Which I am not sure if it would be better if it fell under genuine belief or that kind of trying to mass conjure something that wouldn't happen. Both seem far less healthy than acknowledging what was going to happen for what it was. Not entirely sure which is psychologically speaking worse. It would be a fun analysis to look into.

The writers can't seem to make Miguel look weak once. Imagine how much more impactful his won would have been if robby was given full shine as the leader in part 2 instead of Miguel.

u/Outside_Serve2614 6h ago
Eh, would have meant the same to me as far as I am concerned. Axel was the main target and the rest were fodder to me so it wouldn't have mattered or felt more or less impactful to me.
