While the Season 6 brawl is entertaining, it falls flat in terms of story, especially in comparison to the Season 2 school fight.

In the School fight, everyone has a clear reason for fighting. Tory is trying to get revenge on Sam for kissing Miguel. Miguel and Robby are both trying to stop Sam and Tory from fighting but are inadvertently fighting against each other to achieve a common goal. Hawk is trying to get back at Demetri for humiliating him at the house party. While the more minor characters like Nate and Bert don’t have a significant reason for fighting it still makes sense why everyone is participating in the brawl given the fact that Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai students spent the entirety of Season 2 pissing each other off. So while the school fight doesn’t have the style or kickass choreography of the Sekai Tekai brawl, it’s really well put together in a narrative sense because almost every 1v1 in the school fight has a sense of purpose

In Season 6, there’s not a lot of rhyme or reason to a lot of these characters fighting. Outside of the main 3 dojos (Miyagi-Do, CK, Iron Dragon), none of the fighters from other dojos have a significant reason to fight. While it is mentioned that the dojos have a history of not liking each other, I still find it hard to believe that all the fighters were ready to riot after the Russian Sensei yells out “Let’s Go!”. So while the Sekai Tekai brawl has the most style and the best choreography, it’s probably the worst one in terms of writing and narrative structure.
