At Cobra Kai, Johnny and Chozen get a sense of just how much the dojo is expanding.

Silver is buying out every other studio in the Valley, including Topanga Karate.

Mr. Miyagi famously avoided fighting whenever possible, and Daniels initial refusal to move against Silver is well-intentioned.

Ouroboros is no different; Daniels reaction to the old dojo is easily the peak of the episode.

And its all the more satisfying because Amanda is the one getting through to him.

Now the roles are reversed, with AmandaaskingDaniel to fight again.
