Followers of the Netflix sequence Cobra Kai have voiced similar complaints over the ending of the well-received season six, part one.
The series, a sequel to the hit Karate Kid films, is releasing its sixth and final season in three parts, with the next batch of episodes not set to arrive until November.
However, part one, which debuted on the streaming service this week, left viewers on tenterhooks with a late-in-the-day twist.
Spoilers follow for Cobra Kai – you have been warned!
The first part of the season sees the characters gearing up for the prestigious Sekai Taikai tournament. By the final episode, it’s been revealed that Robby (Tanner Buchanan), Miguel (Xolo Maridueña), Sam (Mary Mouser), Tory (Peyton List), Demetri (Gianni DeCenzo) and Devon (Oona O’Brien) had been selected to go to Barcelona and represent Miyagi-Do.
However, after Tory’s mother dies, she quits the dojo and moves over to the villainous Cobra Kai, having returned to the mentorship of John Kreese.
The season ends immediately after this bombshell – leaving fans clamouring to find out what happens next.
Fans of the show aired their frustration, and appreciation for the series as a whole, on X/Twitter.
“That cliffhanger at the end of Cobra Kai S6E5 really hurt,” one person wrote.
“Okay waiting a month for part 2 of season 3 of Bridgerton was one thing,” remarked another, “but waiting until NOVEMBER for part 2 of the final season of Cobra Kai??? after THAT f***ing cliffhanger?? I’m about to sue Netflix for emotional damages.”
Someone else commented: “I just watched the latest episode of Cobra Kai. WHAT THE F***. TORY. WHAT THE HELL. GIRL WHY. WHY WHY WHY. AND ON A CLIFFHANGER??? CMON.”
A fourth complained: “Finished part 1 of #CobraKaiSeason6 . How the hell am I supposed to just go about my life till November 15th and not think about that cliffhanger every day.”

Actor Record provided a proof for her character’s dramatic determination in an interview with TV Line.
“The loss [of her mother] modifications the whole lot,” she mentioned. “I feel it undoubtedly does push Tory into the way in which that she does find yourself going.
“I feel experiencing that loss places her on this mindset of, ‘I’ve to look out for myself. Daniel goes to look out for his daughter and his household, in the end, and he’s not gonna look out for me. I have to get this captain spot as a way to have a win in my life and to really obtain one thing now that I’ve nothing.’”
The subsequent 5 episodes of the sequence, bunched collectively as half two, will launch on Netflix on 15 November.
