** There's also Johnny's speech to the All-Valley Tournament committee that results in Cobra Kai's ban being lifted.
--->'''Johnny:''' Look, I admit Cobra Kai had its share of problems in the '80s. My sensei didn't always play by the rules, that's why I left. But my Cobra Kai is different. It's a place where kids can come and feel like they belong. Where they won't get picked on just because they're a bunch of losers- er, because they're unique. I've watched firsthand as my students have gotten stronger, gained confidence, learned how to stand up for themselves. Cobra Kai's making a difference in these kids' lives and, honestly, they’re making a difference in mine as well.
