Season 6 Part 1 Ending Explained: Why Tory Joins Kreese
The first half of Cobra Kai's last season ends with a startling turn of events: Kreese, the personification of everything she has been trying to flee, teams with Tory, a character on a road of self-discovery and growth. The remaining two parts will surely be greatly affected by this action, which leaves viewers wondering what drove this apparently abrupt change in allegiance.
Shocking Decision Made by Tory in Cobra Kai Season 6
Driven by a mix of elements building throughout the series, Tory's choice to join Kreese is a complicated one. Her mother's death, a tragedy off-screen, comes at a moment when Tory is already trying to find her footing among the upheaval of the Sekai Taikai tournament. Her mother's death's emotional weight combined with the constant pressure she bears drives her to a breaking point.
According to co-showrunner Jon Hurwitz of Cobra Kai in a Collider interview, Tory's sensitivity makes her open to Kreese's manipulative methods. Master of taking advantage of people's weaknesses, Kreese grabs this chance to sow seeds of uncertainty and resentment in Tory's head. Emphasizing compassion and discipline, the Miyagi-dojo is holding her back; she is destined for greatness and only he can release her full potential.
How Tory's Choice Will Affect Season 6 of Cobra Kai
Tory's choice to team Kreese prepares Cobra Kai for an exciting finale. Her presence in the Cobra Kai dojo serves as a strong reminder of the terrible road she has chosen and generates a dynamic tension that will surely intensify in the last sections of the series.
Character Arc of Tory and the Effect of Loss
Tory's choice to team with Kreese is evidence of the great force of loss. Her mother's death leaves her feeling lost and alone; she finds comfort in Kreese's familiar harsh lessons. Although her suffering drives this choice, it might have terrible results. Kreese's techniques are based on violence and fear; Tory's path to heal from her loss could be hampered by his poisonous influence.
The responsibility of Johnny and Daniel and the direction Miyagi-do will take
Two pillar of the Miyagi-Dojo, Johnny and Daniel, might feel accountable for Tory's leaving. Their approaches have been at conflict, thus Tory's choice might be a mirror of their different strategies. This could cause one to reflect and become even more dedicated to cooperate. The future of Miyagi-Do rests in the balance, and it will take Johnny and Daniel to come together and conquer their differences to guarantee the dojo's legacy.
Kreese's Impact and Tory's Prospective Return
Although Tory's choice to join Kreese would seem to be a betrayal to Johnny and Daniel, she is still a young woman negotiating the complexity of life. Not hate, but pain and desperation drive her decision. Johnny and Daniel will probably try to get her back so they may show her the real road—that of compassion and self-discovery Miyagi-Do suggests. But they are fighting uphill. Kreese is a master manipulator, thus his influence on Tory could be rather significant.
