A limo arrived at Cobra Kai's flagship dojo. Inside of the dojo, a training session was underway.

The Sekai Taikai committee members walked into the dojo.

Terry spoke. "Distinguished members of the Sekai Taikai, I thank you for gracing us with your presence."

Terry and bowed to each other.

One of the Sekai Taikai committee members spoke. "Sensei Silver, I'm Gunther Braun. I speak for the Sekai Taikai. As you know, our admission process is quite rigorous. Despite your overtures, we cannot guarantee admission."

"Understood. But I assure you, Cobra Kai is worthy of entry. As you can see, our dojo is state-of-the-art. And our senseis are second to none." Terry said.

Hyan-Woo spun in the air. When his feet were on the floor, he got in a fighting position.

"Very impressive. But there are many impressive dojos in the world." Gunther said.

"Which is why it's a shame more people haven't heard of them. But that's where we can help each other out. Corporate sponsorships. Broadcast rights. I have the resources and the connections to make the Sekai Taikai a household name all across America. It's a huge market. One you've never been able to tap. Until now." Terry said.

Gunther chuckled.

"Karate gave my life structure, function, purpose. And it's doing the same for my students. I only want to spread its lessons further. Give every kid the chance to learn and grow through karate. Just like I did." Terry said.

"Thank you for your generosity, but this review is entirely about the quality of your students." Gunther said.

Terry spoke confidently. "That won't be a problem. Our dojo is the best in the Valley."

Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Amanda walked into the dojo.

"That's not true." Daniel said.

Gunther looked at Daniel, Johnny, Chozen, and Amanda in confusion. "And who are you?"

Daniel introduced himself. "I'm Sensei Daniel LaRusso. Two-time All-Valley champion."

Johnny introduced himself. "Sensei Johnny Lawrence. Also two-time champion."

Chozen introduced himself. "Chozen Toguchi. Master sensei."

Chozen bowed.

One of the Sekai Taikai committee members bowed to Chozen.

Amanda introduced herself. "Amanda LaRusso, karate adjacent."

Amanda curtsied.

"Cobra Kai isn't the only dojo in the Valley." Daniel said.

Gunther was intrigued. "Oh, so you represent another dojo?"

"Not just any dojo. We have champions from the past two All-Valleys." Johnny said.

Gunther turned to Terry. "You led us to believe that your dojo had all the titles."

"Honesty isn't exactly Cobra Kai's strong suit. Our dojo is truly unique. We've combined our different styles to train our students into the best fighters I've ever seen. And they deserve a shot at your tournament just as much as Cobra Kai." Daniel said.

Gunther turned to the representative from Japan. He spoke to him in Japanese. His words translated to "The other dojo wants to prove their worth."

The representative from Japan nodded in approval.

The man who bowed to Chozen spoke to Gunther in Korean. His words translated to "Combining styles is unorthodox, but I am curious."

Terry chuckled.
