00:00Watch closely, watch closely, here comes the good part right here, right here, hell yeah.

00:06Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 things you missed

00:12in Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 1. If you aren't caught up on the karate series,

00:17beware of spoilers flying your way. Let the games begin.

00:2210. A Sentimental Sensei

00:27After Miguel ran away to find his father in Mexico, Johnny took his son Robby on a hasty

00:33rescue mission. Before the sensei reunited with his student, he stopped to pick up supplies and

00:38a memorable souvenir. The sombrero dog toy got a memorable and hilarious shoutout. Exactly

00:50one season after Johnny went to Mexico, the souvenir reappeared in his car in the Season 6

00:56premiere. But that's far from the only item the sensei held onto. At the beginning of Episode 3,

01:02the fridge is stocked with beer with pink and blue labels for a gender reveal event.

01:08Johnny later takes the bright decorations and booze to his ill-advised slumber party with

01:13Sam and Devin. The sensei clearly doesn't believe in wasting anything.

01:209. A Clever Car Casting Gag

01:24Although Johnny was supposed to focus on selling a customer a car during a test drive,

01:29he was more concerned with what Daniel might be teaching his students.

01:33When the sensei saw his rival's vehicle in a suspicious place,

01:44he made a dangerous turn to confront him. Johnny's customer does a good job at looking shaken up by

01:49the risky car maneuver. His performance gets better when you dive into the person behind

02:01the passenger. As it turns out, the customer was played by Kevin Waterman. Outside of Cobra Kai,

02:08he's done stunts for over 100 films. Waterman also appeared in works like Fear Street.

02:14While the actor looked scared on Cobra Kai, he's usually the one behind the wheel of the thrills.

02:208. The Hilarious Flyer Stingray thought the best way to revive

02:26Cobra Kai was to print out a bunch of flyers that featured his and Johnny's faces. But we're

02:32not sure the sensei approved of the final pick. If you look at the flyer closely, you'll see a

02:48snapshot of a young William Zabka with a ripped shirt. What made this picture especially hilarious

02:54was the fact that this was an actual photo that the actor took outside of the Karate Kid franchise.

03:00As an added bonus, this wasn't the first time this easter egg has been used.

03:06When Johnny first attempted to set up a Facebook profile in season 3,

03:10he originally intended to use the same photo for his page until Miguel shut him down.

03:167. A New Yet Familiar Sensei Kim The Cobra Kai senseis originally learned

03:28their merciless martial arts skills from a master named Kim Sung-Yong. When this vital

03:34and universe character first appeared in a flashback, he was played by Don L. Lee.

03:39But when Master Kim was brought back to the series in season 6,

03:42a new actor stepped into the role. Actor C.S. Lee became the second person to play the cruel master.

04:01Before Cobra Kai, he was seen in projects like Dexter and Avatar The Last Airbender.

04:07In the latter project, he even had a beard that would rival Master Kim's. C.S. Lee's range and

04:13on-camera presence made him a great option for a new take on the old martial arts sensei.

04:286. Costume Callbacks When Johnny arrived at Coyote Creek,

04:34he was surprised to find that Stingray had turned the place into an outdoor dojo for young Cobra

04:39Kai students. The location was likely the reason a nostalgic item was brought back into the series.

04:57Back in season 2, Stingray infamously won the Cobra Kai Coyote Creek contest for his team

05:03by hiding until he could steal his enemy's headband. Years later, he still sports the

05:21red headband he wore then as a symbol of his great victory. Stingray's accessory wasn't the

05:27only great costume callback. When Chosen appeared in the season 5 premiere, his naked morning swim

05:33got him into trouble with Amanda LaRusso. He learned his lesson and started sporting a bathrobe

05:38in the 6th season's opening. 5. Animal-Themed Karate Teams

05:52While it was easy to get distracted by Tory's dark return to Cobra Kai in the last scene of

05:57Part 1, there were still some fun details in the background. If you look at the competing teams,

06:03you'll see a lot of animal-themed dojos. The presence of Nighthawks, Panthers, Iron Dragons,

06:09and more almost made us feel like the heroes should have stuck with the Eagle Fang name.

06:22A dojo name that really stood out was Tompet de Vipere. That name roughly translates to Storm

06:29of Vipers. Although we thought it might have been an alternate name for Cobra Kai,

06:34Kreese's dojo was appropriately seen opposite of Miyagi-Do. We hope the two snake-themed teams

06:41end up trying to bite each other in the Sakai Taikai. 4. Recreating a 1984 Karate Kid Arcade

06:51Scene A trip to Golf and Stuff Arcade Complex got complicated when former Cobra Kai student

06:57Kenny showed up. Since Robby was close to the troubled kid, he tried to get a conversation

07:11started by pretending to be shot by a laser gun. This was a great homage to a scene from the first

07:20Karate Kid movie. During the film, Daniel pretends to get shot by a laser gun by his love interest

07:27Allie to get her attention after they had a falling out. As an added bonus, he also talks

07:40to her at the same Golf and Stuff Complex. Both Daniel and Robby's tactics eventually end up

07:46paying off. However, Cobra Kai does throw in an extra batting cage fight to shake things up.

07:593. Nonsense News If you stop and look at the newspaper

08:04from Episode 1, you'll find an accurate article about the Cobra Kai scandal that was exposed in

08:10Season 5. But while you're reading the story closely, you might notice that the surrounding

08:23news bulletins are completely unrelated to their headlines. The article on the left describes a

08:29gruesome crime that involved two clowns. On the right, the news describes chronically online

08:34people, a boxing match, and a hostage situation in the same story. We know that prop newspapers

08:41on TV aren't always accurate. However, it did seem particularly strange to talk about serious

08:47crimes and clown confrontations on Cobra Kai. 2. Duchess Prison Sentence

08:57During a house tour, Johnny ran into a longtime fan named Stevie. While reminiscing,

09:03they briefly talked about Duchess Prison Sentence. This quick exchange was a great way to

09:15bring back an old joke. Back in Season 2, Johnny got back together with every member of his old

09:21crew. But Dutch was absent because he was still serving a prison sentence. Behind the scenes,

09:37the actor that played the character was unable to return to the series due to other life

09:42responsibilities. Putting him in jail prevented viewers from wondering why he was the only one

09:47missing. It was great to see Cobra Kai was still having fun with Dutch's absence.

10:091. A Very Timely Movie Reference Johnny requires the six Miyagi-Do champions

10:16to watch Best of the Best 2 for their training. On a surface level, the fact that the episode

10:27the movie appears in is called Best of the Best is hilarious. When you dive into the film's plot,

10:33you discover the heroes have to infiltrate a dangerous fighting arena.

10:47This foreshadows the scene where Daniel realizes the Sakai Taikai will be no joke. Last but not

10:54least, Johnny speaks about the movie's Alex recovering from a shoulder injury and fighting.

11:04This could be more foreshadowing that one of Miyagi-Do's students might get hurt and have

11:09to fight. Seeing as that last point is a staple of Karate Kid media, we wouldn't be surprised to

11:16see it play out. Which Cobra Kai character deserves more screen time? Let us know in the comments
