The Sekai Taikai is finally here. After years of watching Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence bicker over crane kicks and "quieting" people, the show has moved beyond the Valley. It’s bigger now. Netflix decided to split this final season into three chunks, which basically turned the internet into a giant spoiler factory. Everyone is hunting for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 leaks because waiting until November 15 is, frankly, a lot to ask of a fanbase this dedicated.
I've been digging through the set photos, the casting calls, and the blurry social media posts from Spain. There is a lot of noise out there. Some of it is total fan fiction. But some of it? It’s hard to ignore when you see the actual actors in Gi colors you didn't expect.
The Barcelona Set Leaks and the Miyagi-Do Roster
Most of the filming for the Sekai Taikai took place in Barcelona. If you follow the cast on Instagram, you probably noticed them posting "vague" photos of tapas and beaches months ago. But the real meat comes from the background shots. We already know the core team: Miguel, Robby, Sam, Tory (well, maybe), Devon, and Demetri.
Wait. Let’s talk about Tory Nichols.
The end of Part 1 was a gut punch. Her mother passing away changed everything. The biggest leak—and honestly, the most heartbreaking one—revolves around her tournament status. Several leaked images from the Barcelona set show Peyton List wearing a Gi that is definitely not Miyagi-Do. It’s black and red. She’s back with Kreese. It makes sense for the drama, but seeing the visual confirmation hurts. She isn't just a competitor; she’s the "Queen Cobra" again. This puts her on a direct collision course with Sam LaRusso on an international stage.
Then there’s the captaincy. Robby won the spot. But leaks suggest his leadership is tested immediately. There are rumors of a "sudden death" style elimination in the opening rounds of Part 2 that might sideline a major character early. If the leaks about a mid-tournament injury are true, the brackets we’re all imagining are going to get trashed in the first twenty minutes of Episode 6.
Who is the New "Big Bad" from the Iron Fist?
We’ve heard about the Iron Fist Dojo. We know Kim Da-Eun is involved. But the Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 leaks regarding the global competition suggest a new antagonist who makes Hawk look like a pacifist.

His name is Axel Kovacevic.
Played by Patrick Luwis, Axel is the rumored "final boss" of the Sekai Taikai. You don't cast a guy with that kind of athletic build just to have him lose in the qualifiers. The leaks suggest Axel represents a level of technical karate that Daniel and Johnny aren't prepared for. While our Valley kids are fighting over internal drama, this guy has been training in a literal fortress.
The interesting part? Some leaked script snippets (which should be taken with a grain of salt, but they feel real) mention Axel having a connection to a past All Valley champion. No, not Mike Barnes. Someone further back. The show loves its legacy.
The Return of the Villains
Kreese isn't alone. We saw Terry Silver get hauled off to jail, but rumors from the set suggest Thomas Ian Griffith was spotted near filming locations. Is it a flashback? A legal loophole?
Honestly, it wouldn’t be Cobra Kai without a Silver scheme. If Silver is out, he’s going to be a wild card. He doesn't have a dojo anymore. He has a grudge. The leaks suggest he might actually be the one to help Daniel and Johnny because his hatred for Kreese has eclipsed his desire to win. Imagine that. The man who burned down the Valley helping the good guys because he’s just that petty.
The Miyagi Secret Nobody is Prepared For
The box under the floorboards. That’s been the "MacGuffin" of Season 6. We saw the bloody headband. We saw the name "Keisuke Miyagi" and a robbery charge.

Part 2 is where the Japan trip happens. Or at least, the investigation into Miyagi’s past. Leaks from the production team hint that Mr. Miyagi didn't just flee Okinawa to avoid a fight with Sato. He was involved in something much darker during the war—or immediately after.
There’s a leaked production still of Daniel looking absolutely shattered while holding a document in a library. People are speculating that Miyagi was a founder of the very tournament they are currently competing in, but for all the wrong reasons. If Miyagi’s "honor" was a facade he built to atone for a violent youth, Daniel’s entire world view is going to collapse right when he needs to coach his kids to victory.
Why the Part 2 Structure Changes Everything
Netflix is doing this 5-5-5 split. Parts 1 through 5 were the buildup. Parts 6 through 10 are the tournament.
The pacing is going to feel different. Expect less "teen romance at the beach" and more "John Wick with teenagers." The leaks regarding the fight choreography suggest the stunt team moved away from the traditional karate styles and incorporated more MMA and street fighting for the international teams. This makes the Miyagi-Do style look outdated.
One leak that keeps popping up on Reddit—specifically in the r/CobraKai leaks thread—is the "Double Elimination" theory. The idea is that the Sekai Taikai isn't just a 1v1 bracket. It’s a team-point system. This would explain why we see so many characters on screen at once in the leaked tournament shots. It’s not just about who wins the final fight; it’s about which dojo survives the meat grinder.
Logic Check: What’s Real and What’s Fake?
Let’s be real for a second. You’re going to see "leaked" videos on YouTube with thumbnails of Hilary Swank (Julie Pierce) standing in the middle of the mat.

Is she in Part 2?
There is zero hard evidence. No set photos. No casting leaks. No "accidental" tags in actor stories. While it’s the biggest wish for the fans, the Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2 leaks actually point more toward a cameo from a different Karate Kid movie—specifically someone from the 2010 remake or a deep-cut tournament official from the original films.
Don't get your hopes up for Julie Pierce just yet. Save that for Part 3.
The Fate of Johnny and Carmen
Amidst all the punching, there’s a baby on the way. The leaks haven't touched much on the "home life" because most of Part 2 takes place in Barcelona. However, one leaked scene description mentions Johnny getting a phone call that forces him to choose between being there for Robby’s finals and rushing back to the Valley.
It’s the ultimate test for Johnny Lawrence. Does he become the father he never was, or the sensei he finally became?
Actionable Steps for Fans Following Leaks
If you want to stay ahead of the curve without ruining the entire experience, here is how you should handle the next few weeks:
- Verify the Gi: If you see a "leak," look at the patches. The costume department for Season 6 spent a lot of money on specific Sekai Taikai embroidery. If the Gi looks like a cheap Halloween costume, it’s a fake "fan-made" leak.
- Track the Hair: This sounds weird, but it’s the best way to spot fake leaks. Tanner Buchanan (Robby) and Xolo Maridueña (Miguel) have very specific hair lengths in Season 6. If you see a "leaked" photo where Robby’s hair looks like it did in Season 2, it’s just an old set photo being recycled for clicks.
- Mute Specific Keywords: If you want to see some leaks but not the big ending, mute "Winner," "Champion," and "Ending" on X (Twitter) and TikTok. The tournament winner is the one thing the production has kept under heavy lock and key.
- Watch the Official Teasers Again: Now that you know about the Barcelona leaks, re-watch the Part 2 teaser. You’ll notice the background characters are wearing the Iron Fist logos. It was hiding in plain sight.
The wait for November 15 feels like an eternity, but the crumbs we have now paint a picture of a much more brutal, high-stakes show than we’ve seen before. The Valley was just the beginning. The world stage is where these characters either finally find balance or break for good. Stick to the verified set photos and ignore the "Hilary Swank confirmed" clickbait—the actual story being leaked is much more grounded and interesting than the fan theories.
