** He is not above raising the rent to earn more money, as shown in "Moment of Truth" when he tried to raise Johnny's rent again due to having more students thus having more money to which he could pay more rent.
** This is shown again in "King Cobra" when he says he has no reason to evict Kreese because he pays his rent on time, but also ignores Amanda's words about Kreese being an unstable and inpredictable danger to the community, all because of his rent being predictable and paying on time all the time.

He also empathized with Johnny when he complained about how unfulfilling his new job was and imparted to him that as long as there was something or someone worth doing the job for, it's worth enduring the breaks that come with it.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He constantly derides Johnny for trying to sell him useless crap, even though, as Johnny points out, his entire job revolves around buying and selling useless crap.

* BadBoss: As with John Kreese before him, he ultimately tries to force his recruits to commit actions that they are not comfortable with, and squanders whatever respect that they had for him in the process (in addition to his loss to Mr. Miyagi).
* BaldOfEvil: Balding, but every despicable characteristic associated with the trope fits Dugan perfectly. To wit, the guy's an unhinged, authoritarian KnightTemplar.
* DirtyCop: He uses his position as a school security consultant/rent-a-resource officer as cover to abuse students (including his Alpha Elite recruits), while providing those recruits the opportunity to blackmail others by planting false evidence (as Ned does to Julie).
* EvilMentor: He not only encourages the worst excesses of his Alpha Elite students as a school enforcement outfit (all but inviting them to abuse and take advantage of their authority over the other students on school grounds), but effectively turns them into an illegal youth paramilitary organization (willing to commit vandalism, blow up vehicles, and seemingly even attempt murder to settle scores with fellow students outside school grounds).
* KnightOfCerebus: While he may not match up to the likes of Miyagi in skill (though, in fairness, almost no one does), he is an unhinged, authoritarian KnightTemplar with a HairTriggerTemper who takes the unforgiving "No Mercy" philosophies of previous antagonists up to eleven by exacting DisproportionateRetribution against ''minors'' for perceived petty crimes or even just slights against authority (up to and including training his Alpha Elite recruits to ''blind vandals with spray paint'' and ''force-feed children candy wrappers'' as respective punishments for graffiti and littering).
** Notably, he lasts longer against Miyagi than both of Kreese's fights put together, and about as long as Terry Silver, implying that he is actually quite a skilled fighter.
* PostFinalBoss: While he is the last villain fought in the original Franchise/TheKarateKid quadrology, his fight against Mr. Miyagi is pretty much a CurbStompBattle on his end. Even the face-off featuring Julie against Ned was far more intense than Dugan attempting to "put Miyagi's lights out." Justified, since Julie's antagonism with Ned is the main focus.
* SenseiForScoundrels: He runs a ThugDojo to corrupt his students, similar to Kreese.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Dugan insists on running the Alpha Elite as if they were some kind of prestigious military academy, rather than a high school security team.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He serves as one to John Kreese from the earlier films in the franchise, to the extent of Miyagi beating/humiliating them in almost the exact same way.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His JROTC-like [[DirtyCop Alpha Elite]] program is embraced by the school district, the police and the local community in general, allowing himself and his followers to mete out abuse to students at will while covering their tracks with the local authorities. He is even given the last word on what student punishments should be.

* DirtyCop: He uses his position as a school security consultant/rent-a-resource officer as cover to abuse students (including his Alpha Elite recruits), while providing those recruits the opportunity to blackmail others by planting false evidence (as Ned does to Julie).
* EvilMentor: He not only encourages the worst excesses of his Alpha Elite students as a school enforcement outfit (all but inviting them to abuse and take advantage of their authority over the other students on school grounds), but effectively turns them into an illegal youth paramilitary organization (willing to commit vandalism, blow up vehicles, and seemingly even attempt murder to settle scores with fellow students outside school grounds).
* KnightOfCerebus: While he may not match up to the likes of Miyagi in skill (though, in fairness, almost no one does), he is an unhinged, authoritarian KnightTemplar with a HairTriggerTemper who takes the unforgiving "No Mercy" philosophies of previous antagonists up to eleven by exacting DisproportionateRetribution against ''minors'' for perceived petty crimes or even just slights against authority (up to and including training his Alpha Elite recruits to ''blind vandals with spray paint'' and ''force-feed children candy wrappers'' as respective punishments for graffiti and littering).
** Notably, he lasts longer against Miyagi than both of Kreese's fights put together, and about as long as Terry Silver, implying that he is actually quite a skilled fighter.
* PostFinalBoss: While he is the last villain fought in the original Franchise/TheKarateKid quadrology, his fight against Mr. Miyagi is pretty much a CurbStompBattle on his end. Even the face-off featuring Julie against Ned was far more intense than Dugan attempting to "put Miyagi's lights out." Justified, since Julie's antagonism with Ned is the main focus.
* SenseiForScoundrels: He runs a ThugDojo to corrupt his students, similar to Kreese.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Dugan insists on running the Alpha Elite as if they were some kind of prestigious military academy, rather than a high school security team.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He serves as one to John Kreese from the earlier films in the franchise, to the extent of Miyagi beating/humiliating them in almost the exact same way.
* VillainWithGoodPublicity: His JROTC-like [[DirtyCop Alpha Elite]] program is embraced by the school district, the police and the local community in general, allowing himself and his followers to mete out abuse to students at will while covering their tracks with the local authorities. He is even given the last word on what student punishments should be.

* ClimaxBoss: While Dugan is the film's BigBad and is the one fought last (by Mr. Miyagi, [[CurbStompBattle who sweeps him]]), Ned is the one who directly antagonizes Julie for most of it. As such, Julie and Ned's battle is given more focus.

Trope has been dewicked, and she isn't a fit with Iconsistent Spelling. 'Yasmine' is a Persian/Arabic name, not a French one (though it is used in France).

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Actually gains some slight eventual character rounding from this. She's Yasmine-with-a-Y, when the far more American spelling is "Jasmine" or other variants with a J. To differentiate her from the trendy and superficial Kyler, it's actually a perfectly legitimate French name. The fact that her absence in Season 2 is because she spent the summer in France suggests she could even have relatives there and it wasn't just a vacation. There remains more about her that we don't know.
