bettername2come November 16 Share November 16 Demetri says "Eli" before the hug in the locker room like the world's about to end. I am glad they worked things out. I rewound multiple times to listen to Chozen say "Binary Bros are back!" and "Dog cage changes a man." Yuji Okumoto really does have fantastic delivery.

DoctorAtomic November 16 Share November 16 Stingray is the worst witness of all time. I do like the senseis, but they're absolutely terrible coaches. There's been zero strategy for any of the challenges. I do have to agree about keeping it on the mat. I like that she was the villain, but now she's completely put upon because literally no one is focusing on actual fighting. 2 hours ago, bettername2come said: Demetri says "Eli" before the hug in the locker room like the world's about to end. I am glad they worked things out. And good teamwork, with zero coaching, to keep tagging in and out. That was critical to the win. They also came up with the defense of preventing the other team from tagging in. That would have been my first strategy. I like the show, but in this tournament, the students shouldn't have been thinking that out on the fly. Kreese can brandish his knife all he wants, but they lost. Robby had the better of their champion both times, so how good were they really? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150615-s06e09-blood-in-blood-out/#findComment-8509268
paulvdb November 16 Author Share November 16 So how does the timeline of the Sekai Taikai work if you can apparently fly from Barcelona to Los Angeles and be back in time for the next event? And Silver mentioned to Kenny that the rules would allow him to switch to a different dojo during the tournament. I expect that this rule will come up again. Possibly Tory going back to Miyagi-Do? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150615-s06e09-blood-in-blood-out/#findComment-8509304
DoctorAtomic November 17 Share November 17 I thought there were player limits to each dojo. Wasn't that the whole plot of the first part of this season? But both Kenny and Miguel competed. Maybe you can just designate an "active roster" for each event? I know I shouldn't think too hard on this. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150615-s06e09-blood-in-blood-out/#findComment-8509825

I was composing the same post but had to leave it and go to work. It was especially glaring because of the tag team events Miyagi-Do had the advantage of having fresher fighters not needing to pace themselves for a longer fight.

DoctorAtomic November 17 Share November 17 The tag team didn't have the extra player, no? Miguel hadn't returned and Kenny was the replacement. Though he would have been fresher. Were they both in the raised platform match? Cobra Kai just wasn't good in the tournament format.

He flies out to Spain, Miguel & Johnny go to America, but Miguel comes back anyway, Devon apologizes to Kenny and as a result steps down. The roster starts with: Robby-Sam-Devon-Miguel-Eli-Demetri If Miguel didn't come back the roster would be: Robby-Sam-Devon-Kenny-Eli-Demetri However, as of now, the roster is: Robby-Sam-Kenny-Miguel-Eli-Demetri from the tag team event on. Miguel leaves after the platform event so Kenny isn't brought back into the plot yet. On 11/16/2024 at 7:42 PM, DoctorAtomic said: Maybe you can just designate an "active roster" for each event? I know I shouldn't think too hard on this. I think you can.. I'm not sure of the rules, I mean the Sekai Tekai seems to be playing very fast and loose on the tournament style and how everything is taken into consideration.

I don't think they did unless there were long standing bruises. All fighters should've been at 100% anyways because think about the time that was taken. I'm presuming the Sekai Tekai has more than enough doctors and healing facilities that players can be at peak condition, so I don't think it's too much of an advantage.

Yes, Silver lampshades over the rules being loophole abusive. Timeline seems to be wonky, but there's 1 event per day, so it seems. Miguel doesn't miss an event at all it seems. Now, Spain to California is 12 hours, we don't know how long he was back in the Valley for, but i'm assuming it was like 1 or 2 hours at most, because somehow he has to make it back for the tag team event. I do not think Tory is going back to Miyagi-Do, she made her bed.

Cobra Kai actually exists inside a video game world where you instantly spawn at your destination. 😄 Glad to see Kenny's redemption arc play out. Also glad to see the Miyagi-Do kids finally stop acting like D-bags. I thought the fight scenes in the episode were great.

Danny Franks December 10 Share December 10 The meta lines from Silver's lawyer about him wasting money on dojos and needing to think about his life outside karate wars were fun. The guy has completely lost it. Really feeling Kim Da-Eun in this one. "I am tired of all this off-the-mat nonsense." Too fucking right. Unfortunately, the on-the-mat stuff in season six has been even more nonsensical. More dumb karate gimmick matches, in this prestigious tournament. But some of the fighters on other teams are so clearly stunt people in their thirties. Also, hey, Tory can just completely stop in the middle of a fight to stare at her ex, too. And Robby and Kenny can both stop to have flashback memories. There definitely needs to be some consideration of the amount of brain trauma all these kids have experienced. Oh dear, Sam being nice to the tall, awkward guy means he now hates Miguel? Of course it does. The scene of everyone making up was nice, and it felt like one of those scenes where a lot of the emotion for the actors was very real. They've been doing this for years, a lot longer in real life than the time that's passed on the show. Also, "Mr. Miyagi's match ended in death?" What the fuck is this utter nonsense? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/150615-s06e09-blood-in-blood-out/#findComment-8529593
