Who Dies in Cobra Kai? A Devastating Ending Sets the Stage for the Final Episodes

Kwon Jae-Sung

Kwon makes his first appearance in Season 6, as the top student in the now-revived Cobra Kai dojo in South Korea. He serves as the secondary antagonist in Season 6 of Cobra Kai.

His death happens in the last few moments of Season 6, Part 2. Kown is fighting Axel Kovacevic and having an almost impossible time getting the best of him. That makes him increasingly frustrated, and after Axel shoves him down near the end of the last hour, Kwon finds a knife on the ground and decides to use it against his opponent. Of course, Axel doesn’t just stand there, he defends himself and that results in Kwon falling on the knife and impaling himself.

As the arena falls silent, tournament organizers arrive and ask the cameraman to cut the feed, bringing Cobra Kai Season 6, Part 2 to an end.

Grace Nichols

Tori’s mom is the first and perhaps most tragic death of Season 6 of Cobra Kai, particularly considering what her loss does to Tory. Grace, who was battling cancer, was shown to be bedridden during the course of the show, making Tory the family’s sole provider. There’s a point in Season 6, however, where it seems like she will get better, with the doctor even giving Tory a modified prescription for her. However, when Tory returns home from preparing for the Sekai Taikai Tournament, she finds her mom unresponsive.

It is later revealed that she passed away due to a pulmonary embolism.

Tommy

Another important character who died during the run of Cobra Kai was Tommy, Johnny’s friend. The character, who was part of the Cobra Kai gang during The Karate Kid days, appeared in Cobra Kai Season 2. When we see him on the show he’s hospitalized and dying of cancer. His friends Johnny, Jimmy, and Bobby break him out of the hospital so they can all take camping trip up to Big Bear Lake. Tommy then dies in his sleep overnight.

Even more tragically, Cobra Kai actor Rob Garrison, who played Tommy, passed away the same year.
