Oona O’Brien’s Devon Lee distressed a lot of viewers who were rooting for her in Cobra Kai Season 6. Although her character wasn’t as significant as that of Samantha LaRusso or Tory Nichols, Lee filled a gap for many audiences.
Her joining the band in Season 4 left a promising mark that she would become a pivotal character. Surprisingly, in the latest season, the story put more emphasis on Lee and many were cheering for her to make it to the Sekai Taikai tournament. But, after the upsetting event that happened, fans think she did not deserve it after all.
What Happened To Oona O’Brien’s Devon Lee?
Devon Lee wasn’t the strongest martial artist in the bunch, but it was quite evident that her tenacity and aggressiveness left an impression that she would be a great fighter. Many who enjoyed her scenes in the show were devastated by the plot twist in Part 1.
Oona O’Brien’s character became somewhat suspicious for the viewers when Kenny Payne returned sick, which elicited speculations that Lee might be responsible for this. In the end, the show confirmed many hunches – she cheated her way to secure a spot.
Now, it does not matter anymore what results her future tournaments will be because she did not deserve them in the first place. Any wins she might earn at the Sekai Taikai competition are now stained with treachery.
It remains to be seen whether Lee will confess her dirty trick or, in some way, her cheating will be exposed. Someone would have to force her to come clean because it doesn’t seem like she would voluntarily admit her mistake.
As for Kenny Payne, his fate in the series remains in the dark after his chance to participate in the tournament was spoilt by Lee. It’s a shame that Miyagi-do’s Sekai Taikai team welcomed a dishonest member, but all things will come to light in the end.
After what she has done, fans no longer root for her, and it might stay that way unless she attempts to redeem herself. She has done it before in Season 5 and she might try her luck again.

Same, I wanted Devon to go through more than anything bc she would have shown everyone that despite being relatively new to karate she could rise to be one of the few younger teens to compete in a global martial arts tournament but after she cheated I’m conflicted now. pic.twitter.com/Jk8qSeAQm3

Some are still hoping for Devon Lee’s redemption, or at least, the truth coming out of her own voice. She was a promising character back then, and this twist in her role is annoying a lot of viewers.
Cobra Kai Season 6 is now streaming on Netflix.
