* {{Irony}}: Piper, the woke feminist, ends up joining the ''least'' politically correct of the dojos. Even more surprising (counts as HourglassPlot), when she first meets Hawk — he was still one of Cobra Kai's top students, whereas Piper had no affiliation with any dojo. Now? Piper joins Cobra Kai while ''Eli'' has quit karate (albeit temporarily).

Nurture]]" and her next one in "[[Recap/CobraKaiS5E9Survivors Survivors]]", her condition has worsened to the point she's confined to a hospital cot rather than a bed.

* HateSink: In a single, short scene, Tory's aunt Kandace has established herself as this, first by demanding Tory's mother's sickness benefits, then by deriding her sister's illness, bluntly saying that she'll be dead soon. Finally, Kandace twists the knife further by warning that the courts would grant her custody of Tory's brother if Tory even tries to resist.

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Aisha shares with Sam an anecdote on how she used the Cobra Kai teachings in her everyday life. When she was paranoid that a popular girl at her new school would become her new bully, rather than trying to actively avoid her, Aisha "made the first move" and struck up a conversation with her and they ended up becoming best friends. Sam takes this anecdote and instead becomes convinced that she needs to confront Tory, only instead of trying to make peace she instead makes a threat.

* LovableAlphaBitch: Aisha mentions a girl at her new school who wears more pink than Malibu Franchise/{{Barbie}} and initially gave her a dismissive look due to her overweight and nerdy appearance. However, when Aisha asked the girl if she could show Aisha around, rather than rebuke her, the other girl agreed and they quickly became close friends (although the fact that Aisha made sure to compliment her shoes to break the ice helped).

Conversely at Eagle Fang, Johnny is irritated when he learns about the new rules. It is clear they will need at least one female student to compete; Bert suggests a girl from the high school debate team, but Johnny tells him the last thing they need is more nerds. While the students are dismissed to run laps, Miguel tries to convince Johnny to recruit Sam for their team, but Johnny is adamant that they handle their own business from now on.

* BlatantLies: When promoting his dojo using the SexSells approach, Johnny at one point claims Miguel isn't even in the "top five" buffest fighters at Eagle Fang.



* CripplingOverspecialization: Up to this point, Johnny has emphasized manliness and aggression for whatever dojo he's in charge of. While this has resulted in Eagle Fang having the strongest male fighters outside Cobra Kai (as Demetri laments after the Eagle Fang / Miyagi-Do alliance is broken), it now bites Johnny square in the ass, as his dojo doesn't have ''any'' female fighters at all, much less one who is in a league with Sam or Tory.



* SuddenlySignificantRule: The All Valley board radically changes the format for the upcoming tournament. There are now separate divisions for male and females, skills competitions will now be included with the combat, and the overall dojo champion will be determined by a points system across every competition. This causes problems for both Miyagi-do (as none of their male fighters are in a league with Miguel, Hawk, or Robby) and Eagle Fang (as the dojo not only has no girl fighters, but must scramble to find one who can beat Sam and Tory).
