Cobra Kai showrunners Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald spoke with The Direct’s Russ Milheim on the pink carpet at Paleyfest to deal with the principle that Kreese or Silver continues to be alive.
“It was all the time the intent for them to die collectively…”
- The Direct: Cobra Kai Season 6, Episode 14 had an explosive ending, we all know, with each John Kreese and Terry Silver dying. Two questions associated to that: Was it all the time the plan for them to die collectively on that yacht? Have been there alternate loss of life scenes that you just guys had in thoughts for them?
Josh Heald: “It was all the time the intent for them to die collectively. It was all the time the intent for [John] Kreese to sacrifice himself to avoid wasting Johnny from peril. And as we acquired into the second half of the sequence, that peril, you understand, took on Silver’s face increasingly more, and even after we completed Season 5, and it was type of the finish of Silver, we knew that there could be yet one more loss of life rattle that must be quelled. And that was the excellent second for Kreese to actually present his true colours. And it was only a push from the three of us to struggle the battles, to get onto that yacht and truly convey cameras out to sea and do this. And it was a proud day at sea.”
- The Direct: We did not see any our bodies, and plenty of followers have observed this. What are you able to say about these theories, like individuals pondering that perhaps one or each of them are alive?
Jon Hurwitz: “You’ll be able to watch the episode, see that explosion, see how shut they had been to the place the explosion began, and decide for your self when you assume it is potential for human beings to outlive that.”
Josh Heald: “I will say MythBusters ought to attempt to recreate it and simply tell us. Get a few pig carcasses, put them actually near a bunch of gasoline, throw a cigar at a lit cigar, and simply see what occurs. See if the pigs are in a single piece.”
Hayden Schlossberg: “The one factor is, there’s lots of water close by. So if, for no matter motive, they caught on hearth and fell into the water, it is potential. They’re very athletic males…”
Josh Heald: “I’d think about that the physique items, that are in 1,000,000 items every, get extinguished once they hit the water. I believe he thinks it is type of like a, like, a growth, they usually magically fly again, they usually’re somewhat bit on hearth, versus what truly occurs when you’re in the center it.”
Hayden Schlossberg: “I do truly know loads about explosions. There are several types of explosions, and I do not assume now’s the time to enter all the completely different ones. Some are extra implosion. It relies upon on what the detonation is.”
Josh Heald: “Effectively, we confirmed the explosion. It was type of like, it was like a nuclear explosion.”
Hayden Schlossberg: “One thing that is igniting. It isn’t essentially like tearing the physique aside.”
Josh Heald: “We noticed the boat explode. The boat exploded to 1,000,000 items.”
Jon Hurwitz: “This is what I’d count on: I’d count on Kreese and Silver did explode into 1,000,000 items. It is potential that their our bodies reformed, or they reformed as one, they usually’re at one large Kreese-Silver monster.”
Josh Heald: “Silver’s head may very well be on an octopus now, and that, it is symbiotically turn into a part of his mind, and it is Octo silver.”

However every little thing else in that episode, all the large moments, the place the characters land, we knew the place that was going. It was simply, you understand, the concept of enjoying with the fly and chopstick scene from ‘Karate Child’ was one thing that we have talked about each season, looking for the proper place. And we had been able to let it go if it wasn’t natural. And it simply so occurred to finish the present with, it felt proper.”
Ralph Macchio: “The ultimate scene… It was good as a result of they held that little fly-catching homage for the finish. And what was so good about that scene was it was so behavioral. It was similar to two guys having a dialog about property taxes, or no matter it was, and college students, and, you understand, simply sitting gazing at a menu the place a lot of this present is like, you understand, not on my watch. What are you doing, man? So it is so good to simply be pure and actual and but nonetheless play the memory and the nostalgia of yesterday once they flashed or performed again to the scene with Pat Morita from the unique movie.
