PREVIOUSLY: Kate and her mother ask Samantha if they can live with her for a while, as Kate's stepfather escaped from prison and was going after them, Samantha and Miguel agree, so Kate and her mother start living with them, Kate was still a little worried, so Samantha taught her and Vivian to fight with staffs and also to fight in the heat and cold, one day, Samantha and Miguel were working when Kate's stepfather and seven other men break into the house to steal some scrolls, like By order of a mysterious man, Kate and Vivian use what they learned from Samantha in the last few days and defeat most of the thieves, but they end up making a mistake which makes them take the staffs out of their hands, not knowing what to do they run to the dojo and find a scroll, as a last resort they decide to use the technique shown on this scroll and to their surprise, as soon as they hit the thieves' arms and legs they go numb, later, Samantha says that she is proud of the girls for what they have done and deep down both her and Kate want them to be more than sensei and student, but they know that this is just a dream, the tournament is in a week, so who will be the winner?


The tournament was only a week away and Kyler was still training his students.

Kyler: Okay guys, let's see if everyone's here, Jacob.

Jacob: Yes uncle... I mean, yes sensei.

It was more than obvious that Jacob was still training with Kyler, and his hatred for Victor only grew, every time he trained he thought of how badly he would beat him in the tournament finals.

Kyler: Right, Payne.

Steve: Yes sensei.

Steve Payne, Kenny's nephew was also training with Kyler, more than that, his uncle Kenny was fully aware of it, yes, a few days ago Kyler convinced Kenny to join him, claiming that Kenny would be 'the successor that Terry Silver would want'.

Kyler: Who's next... Taylor.

That was Bill's (aka New Meat) last name but it wasn't him that Kyler was referring to, but his twin brother Phill, if you remember, Phill tried to join Cobra Kai at the same time as Bill, but failed, however shortly after Jacob got out of juvie he talked to Phil and convinced him to try again, after a few days of training with Kyler Phil came back to Cobra Kai and managed to join, he was determined to win this tournament, especially to get them to stop calling him 'Newer Meat'.

Phill: Yes sensei.

Kyler: And last but not least, Silva.

Yes, Cobra Kai's #1 student (at least after Vivian left) and Tory's favorite student, even after what her sensei told her that day she didn't stop training with Kyler, training that made her increasingly aggressive and like Jacob she still hated students from the rival dojo, not just one, but two girls, Kate Grey and Vivian Larusso.

Bianca: Yes sensei.

Kyler: Excellent, the tournament is in a week, you all know that if we don't win there, we will lose forever, on the other hand if the two champions of the tournament are some of ours, everyone will finally know that our way is the right way.

Jacob: Leave it to us uncle, we'll win, I hope you've chosen a name for your new dojo.

Kyler: I'll think about it later, the focus now is to win this tournament, the way you do it doesn't matter, got it?

Students: YES SENSEI!

Later the students leave and Jacob and Kyler start talking.

Jacob: I like your way of teaching uncle, you really make us stronger, much more than Nichols ever could.

Kyler: Thanks Jacob, I can't imagine how excited you are to fight that Victor guy again.

Jacob: Have I told you what I'm going to do with him? when we face each other I'm going to score a point and then I'm going to commit a foul on purpose and I'm going to do that until the end of the fight and then beat him at sudden death, yes, I could just return last year's 3-0, but that...

Kyler and Jacob: Wouldn't make him suffer enough.

Kyler: That's my boy, you really learned the lessons.

Not only Kyler's students, but also the other students were also training hard for this tournament.

Hawk Jr. he trained a lot alongside his father and even Moon admitted that she was looking forward to seeing him at the tournament.

Hawk tried to hit his son with several blows, but Hawk Jr. blocked them all.

Hawk: Excellent, you learn really fast, maybe even more than your father.

Hawk Jr.: I'm ready to show them the fury of the Hawk, I hope there's someone capable of facing me.

Hawk: I know, of all the tournaments you participated in when you were younger, there was no one who was your match, but here in the Valley things are different.

Moon: Do your best son, I'll be there watching.

Hawk Jr. he had already participated in three karate tournaments in another city and won all three.

Richard was training too, he and Demetri were doing their best.

Demetri: Good job! you have improved a lot since i met you.

Richard: Thanks, I'll do my best in this tournament.

Yasmine: Since Demetri won that tournament I never cared about karate again, but this year is different, I'll cheer for you.

Kate and Vivian were still training together and Victor was also training a lot.

Finally the day came, Jacob woke up early and went to talk to Kyler.

Jacob: Uncle, it's today, let's show Karate Kids and Cobra Kai who is the best sensei in the Valley.

Kyler: That's right, go out there and make those assholes kiss the mat.

Jacob: Uncle, just one question, what if the Karate Kids win? I mean, they can beat us in the skills competition and even if I win the male tournament, Bianca might end up losing the female tournament, what happens then?

Kyler: Well... we can say that things are going to get heated for them.

Jacob didn't understand what Kyler meant, but he didn't care, he hugged his uncle and went to Cobra Kai.

After some time, Samantha and Miguel arrived with the Karate Kids and found Tory and Robby with the Cobra Kai.

Tory: Samantha Larusso.

Samantha: Tory Nichols.

Miguel: Robby Keene.

Robby: Miguel Diaz.

Samantha: This time we won't compete as enemies, only as rivals, so I want to wish you all good luck.

Tory: Thank you, I say the same to you.

Samantha and Tory shook hands and so did Robby and Miguel and later Hawk, Demetri and Piper arrived.

Hawk: Here we are, just like the old days.

Demetri: Fortunately this time there's no dojo war.

Tory: Hey Piper, where's Kenny?

Piper: He called me this morning, he said he couldn't come because of personal issues.

Meanwhile at Kyler's house:

Kyler: I thought you weren't coming.

Kenny: I had doubts about what to do, but you were right, Tory is becoming soft, we are the ideal successors to Cobra Kai.

Kyler: That's right, now we're going to witness the demise of Samantha Larusso and Tory Nichols so that Kyler Park and Kenny Payne can bring the real Cobra Kai back to the Valley, there's beer in the fridge.

Kyler turns on the TV so they can watch the tournament.

Meanwhile:

Referee: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 83rd All Valley under-18 karate tournament, let's meet the competitors.

The referee starts talking about some dojos that will compete in the tournament (All-Star Karate, Topanga Karate, Cutting Edge Karate and those others that appeared in the first tournament).

Referee: And finally the moment everyone was waiting for, the dojo with the coolest name in the Valley, the current champion of the tournament, led by sensei Tory Nichols with the help of the senseis Robby Keene, Piper Elswith and Kenny Payne, this last one couldn't be here due to personal issues, ladies and gentlemen, a round of applause for Cobra Kai!

Tory, Robby and Piper arrive with the students.

Referee: Yes, some of the biggest highlights of Cobra Kai currently are current female champion Bianca Silva and current male runner-up Jacob Park and now finally the last dojo, wearing golden gis, the dojo that originated from the former Miyagi-Fang, commanded by four regional champions, Demetri Alexopoulos, Eli Moskowitz, Miguel and Samantha Larusso Diaz, ladies and gentlemen here are the Karate Kids!

Samantha, Miguel, Hawk and Demetri arrive with the students.

Referee: Some of the highlights of this dojo are the current male champion Victor Carter and the current female runner-up Katherine Grey, but if we look closely we can see some new faces, now enough talk and let's start the tournament with the skills competition!

Several dojos make their presentations, but without great highlights, that is, until Cobra Kai's turn comes, in addition to showing some weapons and breaking some boards. and for the Grand Finale they pick up a cinder block and Bianca does a backflip, breaks it with a kick while still in the air and lands on her feet.

Referee: If I hadn't been here I wouldn't have believed it, another amazing demonstration of this fantastic dojo, Cobra Kai's score skyrockets but the competition isn't over yet as we now have the Karate Kids.

The Karate Kids also break some boards and show some weapons and manage to score some points.

Referee: They're good too, let's see what they prepared for the finale.

Samantha: Come on guys, just like we trained.

The students get into position, Kate and Vivian were down on the ground, a few meters in front of them was Hawk Jr. and a few more meters ahead were Richard and Laura on his back, Laura was holding a board, so they started, Victor ran and jumped over Kate and Vivian, then Hawk Jr. helped him jump even higher, he was about to hit the board, when suddenly...

Jacob (in Victor's head): You'll miss, you'll miss!

Hearing that voice in his head, Victor lost his focus and missed the kick, hitting Richard's chest and making Laura fall on top of him.

Referee: What a pity, the Karate Kids failed in their Grand Finale, even then they are in second place, they are still more than capable of turning the tables, we finally arrived at the qualifying matches that will define the eight fighters of each category that will move to the quarter finals, let's get this party started!

Samantha: Congratulations to you guys for winning the skills competition, I have to admit, that was amazing.

Tory: Thanks, but look, if he had hit that last board you would have eaten us alive, you guys were great too.

Miguel and Robby (in their heads): I never thought I'd see this, Samantha and Tory praising each other at a karate tournament.

Daniel: 2019, 2020, 2050 and 2051, four years that we failed the Skills Competition Grand Finale, this is definitely our kryptonite.

Carmen: Johnny, what's the problem?

Johnny: I don't know, but something's up with Victor, I've seen him train and I know he would never miss a kick like that under normal circumstances.

Amanda: I still don't understand the rules, but I'll support them anyway.

Moon: Normally I don't encourage violence but... KICK THEIR BUTTS SON!

After several fights the fighters that passed to the quarter finals were defined.

Referee: We had several fights today, but now the real fun begins, among these sixteen fighters, only one of each gender will receive the title of grand champion, in the first fight we will have the newcomer Phillip Taylor from Cobra Kai facing the current champion Victor Carter from the Karate Kids.

Victor and Phill get on the mat.

Julia: Get him, Newer Meat.

Referee (while he was speaking they did what he said): Facing me, bow, facing each other, bow and... FIGHT!

Victor tries to hit Phill with some punches, but Phil dodges them and defended himself with Karate Kids techniques, Victor blocks all the attacks, when suddenly...

Jacob (in Victor's head): I'm waiting for you in the finals, just to break you.

Phill then uses this opening to grab Victor, knock him to the ground and punch him.

Referee: Point, Taylor! score 1-0.

Johnny: He's not focused... FOCUS VICTOR!

Hearing his grandfather's voice, Victor knew what to do.

Referee: Get ready and... FIGHT!

Phill tries to hit Victor with a punch, but Victor blocks the attack, ducks and hits Phill with a kick to the torso.

Referee: Point, Carter! score 1-1, get ready and... FIGHT!

Victor goes towards Phill and tries to hit him several times, Phill then grabs Victor's leg and tries to hit it, but Victor uses his other leg to trip Phill and then hits him with his foot.

Referee: Point, Carter! score 1-2, get ready and... FIGHT!

Phill tries to hit Victor with a few punches, but Victor blocks some of them and finally grabs Phill by the hand, knocks him down and hits him with a punch.

Referee: Point, Carter! winner! the next fighters are both newcomers in the tournament, in this corner, representing Cobra Kai we have Steve Payne, son of 2020 runner-up Shawn Payne and his opponent is unknown but I bet we all remember his dad the guy who won the shortest fight in the history of the tournament (he shows Hawk's fight against Kyler wich lasted less than 30 seconds).

Hawk: Gee, not even the referee respects Kyler.

Referee: Where was I? oh yes, Steve's opponent is Eli Moskowitz Jr!

Hawk Jr. and Steve get on the mat.

Referee (while he was speaking they did what he said): Facing me, bow, facing each other, bow and... FIGHT!

Steve tries to grab Hawk Jr. but he hits him with a kick.

Referee: Point, Moskowitz! score 1-0, get ready and... FIGHT!

Steve tries to hit Hawk Jr. with several punches, but he dodges the attacks, he then runs towards Steve and tries to hit him with a kick, but Steve grabs his leg and knocks him to the ground, but Hawk Jr. dodges the attack, knocks Steve to the ground and hits him with a punch.

Referee: Point, Moskowitz! score 2-0, get ready and... FIGHT!

Hawk Jr. tries to hit Steve with several punches, but Steve blocks them and tries to hit him with a kick, but Hawk Jr. dodges the attack and lands an elbow on Steve's chest, ending the fight.

Referee: Point, Moskowitz! winner!

Hawk: Well done son!

Moon: That's my boy!

Miguel: So Victor and Hawk Jr. will face each other in the semifinals, this is a fight I want to see.

In the following matches, Richard defeats Bill and Jacob defeats Xander Stone Jr. both fights by 3-0.

Meanwhile at Kyler's house:

Kyler: So your nephew lost to Lip Jr, now it's all up to Jacob.

Kenny: There's still the female tournament, can we trust Bianca?

Kyler: Absolutely, for her, this tournament is just to destroy Kate Grey and Vivian Larusso, she doesn't care about Nichols.

Back at the tournament, Vivian, Kate and Bianca win their fights with ease and Laura eliminates Julia after a tough fight.

Kate: I can't believe it, it's me against Vivian in the semifinals.

Vivian: We'll finally find out which one of us is the best, good luck to you.

Kate: Same for you.

Laura: And I'm going to face Bianca, this one won't be easy.

Referee: So the semifinals of both tournaments are set, in the male tournament we will have Victor Carter against Eli Moskowitz Jr. and in the other fight we will have the newcomer Richard Cooper facing Jacob Park, in the female tournament we will also have a fight between two Karate Kids, that's right folks, we will have Katherine Grey against Vivian Larusso and in the other fight we will have Laura Smith against the current champion Bianca Silva.
