To recap, in the final episode of the season, Robby and Miguel face off in the final bout. Robby's shoulder is injured. Throughout the match Miguel repeatedly exploits Robby's injury to gain the upper hand. At one point after Robby stuns Miguel and knocks him down with a kick, Robby reaches to help Miguel up and Miguel yanks on Robby's injured shoulder.
Before the final part of the round can play out, Johnny implores Miguel to win "the right way" and not to fight "dirty," but Miguel only mirrors back what Cobra Kai taught him: no mercy. Miguel continues to exploit Robby's injury and wins the match.
Some Cobra Kai watchers don't like the way the story plays out. Some people think that Robby should've won the tournament after his double kick and don't like that Miguel "played dirty."
A different perspective comes from Reddit user verytiredindividual who writes, "I also don't really get the big deal about targeting the injury. The injured person has made a decision to fight with the injury, it's like not taking advantage of someone being shorter than you." Their complaint isn't about targeting an injury, but how the story treats that decision. "The iffy part is that Hawk from the same dojo illegally injured him but when it comes down to it as a sportsman once you're in the match going after an injury is fair game. You can console yourself with the fact that you fought injured, and the opponent can understand that the injury might have skewed the result but still."
