Underdogs is ultimately smart to acknowledge that from the very beginning.
This is an episode about the underdogs, as indicated by the title.
Its about the second-stringers who truly have to fight for this rare opportunity.
To be fair, Eli isnt actually an underdog.
He beat Robby and became the boys division champion at the All Valley at theend of season four.
Daniel even accuses him of slipping back to Bad Boy Barnes.
Johnny wins becauseThe Karate Kidis better thanThe Karate Kid Part III.
He lashes out and turns the conversation into a fight by condescending to Eli and calling him a moron.
That confrontation continues into the challenge itself when they go for the same flag.
(It would be an Eli win if this were the All Valley.)
Its not 100 percent fair, but he just bested a proven winner.
It turns out practicing karate with Miyagi-Do isnt an automatic guarantee of consistently virtuous behavior.
I dont think shes necessarily jumping ship for Cobra Kai anytime soon, but shes one to watch.
Its much easier to slip into darkness than it is to crawl back into the light.
When Daniel checks in, Anthony cant stop grinning about Kenny shitting himself.
