Cobra Kai season 5 ended in a way that creates a villain problem for season 6 through its two main villains thus far: Terry Silver and John Kreese.
Cobra Kai season 5 focused on both Terry Silver's running of the titular dojo and John Kreese's stint in prison, with both characters ending in a way that creates a villain problem for season 6. Cobra Kai season 5 picked up almost directly after season 4, with Terry Silver expanding Cobra Kai across the valley and making the dojo stronger than ever. Similarly, John Kreese is spending time in prison after being framed by Silver for the assault of Stingray, with Kreese secretly planning his revenge on his old protege.
Since Kreese's introduction at the end of Cobra Kai season 1, he has been one of the show's primary antagonists. As the conflict between him, Johnny Lawrence, and Daniel LaRusso escalated, Kreese opted to call in some backup in the form of Terry Silver. Silver then became a secondary antagonist in season 4, before enacting a plan to put himself at the head of Cobra Kai. Throughout season 5 and even parts of season 4, the show was setting up Silver as its main villain.
The Cobra Kai season 5 ending, however, indicates a real villain problem going into season 6. The way in which both Kreese's story has gone thus far, and how LaRusso, Chozen, and Lawrence dealt with Silver makes it almost impossible to see who will be the final villain of the show going into what should probably be the final season. While there are some possibilities regarding season 6's villain, almost everything seems wrapped up fairly neatly in Cobra Kai season 5's ending, creating the villain problem for the next season of the hit Netflix show.
