** Which ultimately leads to Kreese completely shedding every last of his heroism and fully embracing the no-mercy mindset, by kicking his captain down a pit of snakes when he had the chance to actually ''save him.'' Sure, it's a KickTheSonOfABitch moment that's as cathartic as it can get, but one can shudder at the fact that Kreese is the only major character in the series that has actually committed ''murder.'' And that's just the start of his violent behavior, all under his mantra of "strike-first, strike-hard, no-mercy."

* Daniel seeing Miguel's Halloween costume at the dance: a skeleton with face paint that resembles a skull. The moment Daniel sees Miguel, it's obvious that he was remembering the Halloween dance in 1984 where the Cobra Kai students chased him down and beat him up for the prank he pulled on Johnny.

* A very chilling moment is when he first instructs Miguel on how to punch. He instructs him to hit his opponent as if he actually wanted to hit someone behind him, demonstrates by hitting a mannequin ''between the eyes'', and then calmly explains "Strike here, you bloody his nose. Strike here, you break his teeth. Strike here, you could severely damage his ''trachea''". While he quickly adds "Obviously, that's only for extreme situations", he just ''taught a kid how to potentially kill someone with one hit''.

Even more disturbing, Johnny's tone implies he was in a situation once where he had to do that and killed the guy.

* And just like that, Kenny uses that dreaded technique against Hawk in the Sekai Taikai face-off to beat the latter into forfeiting. Once can be forgiven that Hawk is thankfully ok afterwards, but him being knocked out cold and ''struggling to breathe'' is just straight-up frightening. Makes it much worse when the [[LackOfEmpathy rage-filled pyscho Kenny]] does a KickTheDog moment with Hawk completely helpless on the ground.

It takes Terry’s saying of “A man can’t breathe, he can’t fight” to the utmost terrifying level.

Luckily, Daniel comes in to [[CurbStompBattle save the day]], otherwise Robby is as good as dead.

* Tommy's poor condition from cancer when he is reintroduced is a grim reminder of how [[TruthInTelevision absolutely eerie and devastating terminal illness can happen, even at any age]] (considering the fact that he's much younger than the more physically-imposing John Kreese and Terry Silver). By the time he makes his on-screen appearance in the series, he points out that his cancer reached ''his brain'' and he's resigned to his incoming fate despite Bobby's off-screen prayers and Johnny's denials. And he just so happens to die at the end of the episode after having one last ride with his Cobra Kai gang.
