After six seasons of fights, personal grudges, and tournament showdowns, Cobra Kai has finally wrapped up. And with it, we can finally talk about the elephant in the room. Who are the strongest fighters in the entire series? Tournaments might decide who gets to take the trophy home, but, martial arts is more than that. The Karate Kid, and the larger franchise, would not really be a thing without it.

Cobra Kai, meanwhile, has never been short on badass martial artists. Call it experience, technical precision, or sheer scrappiness, unlike a lot of action shows where fights feel scripted, the show has always made it clear that if you want to win – all of those things matter. So, who really ranks as the strongest fighter in the show? Let’s break it down and see where everyone lands.
