With the recent release of the first part of the sixth season of Cobra Kai, 17-year-old Oona O’Brien’s character is in trouble with many viewers after her selfish and disgraceful actions in the show.
In the show, we see Oona’s character, Devon Lee, cheating her way into the Sekai Takai tournament, a huge competition for dojos, by mixing laxatives in the water of Kenny Payne, Devon’s friend.
