Don't forget this iconic pic form peyton's Instagram
So I hc Tory as a great photographer, and that means:
She took those pictures.
THE BEST SHIP IS BACK
Tory calling Robby an idiot and a dumbass... and then both of them calling the people who tried to ruin their relationship "bitch"..... oh keenry how I've missed you!!!!
i know there’s a timeskip and all but … why were none of the teens affected by kwons death lol
it’s like it didn’t even happen for them. shouldn’t they be showing signs of trauma from seeing a kid literally die?
like why was there nothing?
because you’re telling me that when they learn that the tourney is back on they’re just fine with it and wanna go ahead no objections?
crazy to me.
i went in thinking they were gonna explore everyone’s reactions to seeing kwon literally fucking die and i got nothing?
someone who i thought would be affected, would be tory. i mean losing her mother and a few weeks later or so, losing her teammate and she was obviously the most closest to him due to being in the same dojo.
like why’d they also describe the events of barcelona as ‘drama’ a kid literally died on television. that is not drama.
like ?? question mark lmao. but okay. i guess. 😃
if only kwon and tory met in a different timeline. cs kwon would have LOVED no mercy tory. her season 2 and season 3 absolute menace to society self.
still pissed tory didn’t have a friendship w him or yoon 🙁, anyway , idc it’s CANON to me that they were friends, sue me. gonna pretend like kwon didn’t dislike her, and yoon and tory’s friendship wasn’t short lived ! :)
also canon, that they’re a trio too.. (in my mind)
best ck trio w zero screentime ofc😉
today i wanna talk about the big brawl.. season 6, episode 10 and the sekai taikai.. basically how eye would change some things.
this is gonna be an extremely long post .. i like to yap. clearly. so yeah.
initially, when i first watched i loved it.. but rewatching that specific scene. it’s giving lacklustre? i mean the choreography was good that’s for sure but i don’t know.. i feel like it could’ve been done so much better .. also feel like it didn’t really have to end in kwons death either.
the reason why it fell short for me and felt a bit anticlimactic was because it was just random? russian dojo came back and punched gunther in the face, everyone else started fighting.. like okay💀
the thing is there was no reason too really. (have the massive brawl breakout THAT way) a brawl is fine, but the way it was carried out isn’t. also the actual tournament way too short.
i have an idea; so gonna share it here for you all! this might be dumb but i don’t like a lot with this season 6 part 2 after initial thought. anyways here we go 😖:
start off by saying sekai taikai was too short. like a world tournament only being around 30-40 minutes. i would’ve had the episodes longer with a runtime of an hour or over an hour.
i think CK could’ve benefited from longer episodes and more episodes anyway and better writers. but i digress
each international dojo is introduced through short videos or flashbacks as the teams all join together in the arena or whatever, showcasing unique abilities and talent.
cobra kai and miyagi do both face frictions with other teams in the tournament. an aggressive and brutal dojo accuses cobra kai of being frauds who can’t live up to their intimidation tactics (blame kwon for that one, him intimidating others outside of the mat.) leads to that sort of confrontation.
miyagi-dos defense style is mocked by other dojo who sees it as way too soft. tension brews between alllll the teams. it isn’t just a cobra kai and miyagi do thing against all, all dojos have issues w each other.
several preliminary matches are shown, including standout fights featuring (sam, hawk, devon) and (tory, yoon, kwon) other cobra kai teamates deserved to be mentioned more.
tensions rise between tory and another dojos female fighter. tory isn’t balanced and dealing with the grief of her mother still. this girl from the other team is aggressive and fast. forcing tory to become the same. letting out her anger and almost gets disqualified.
johnny and daniel struggle to keep the peace between miyagi do. they’re fighting well, but not as good as they possibly could be. they’re losing a lot of matches and the team becomes completely divided. one side saying to fight aggressive; other side saying to defend
things begins to get a lil heated OUTSIDE of tournament.. rival dojos begin sabotaging each other outside the matches. a lot of street fights if you will. or just them fucking with eachother. an example: miyagi do member is ambushed completely by another dojo.
sam is targeted by a rival fighter in a dirty off the matt attack. causing noticeable, bad injuries, miguel jumps in to defend her and makes himself a target for specific dojo.
the brawl: a rival dojo manipulates tensions between miyagi do and cobra kai. possibly spreading a false rumour. like cobra kai plotting to sabotage a miyagi do fighter by injuring them with an illegal move they could disguise as not an illegal move lol.
yada, yada, yada. something happens, someone could hit someone else, the big brawl happenes!
during big brawl, tory could intervene to protect devon and takes a severe hit leaving her threatened with life changing injuries.
let’s get to kwon real quick: instead of him being an asshole and just getting killed. it’s established that kwon is one of the best fighters on the tournament. during brawl kwon gets ambushed by a jealous rival dojo or just a rival who wants to quite literally take him outta commission 😵.
kwon could also have a personality, so just not an asshole.. or not an asshole all the time , so he’s NOT a bad person and his team actually fw him.
say the ambush is so bad it triggers people from cobra kai to try and rescue him.. another way tory could get critically injured trying to protect him.
‘why tory?’ you may ask.. and why not? kwon was just introduced. it gives off more shock factor that a main character got hurt instead of him.
the impact of tory’s injury:
shock factor- tory being critically injured instead of kwon would exceed expectations.. like NO ONE could’ve seen it coming. her injury would create an emotional gut punch for characters like devon, sam, robby.
next, a full tournament arc. this would give the series time to delve into each fighting style, all the dojos. here’s how they could do it:
establish rivalries. cross-dojo friendships and betrayals .. this one could be interesting. inner team drama.
different fights during the sekai taikai:
tag team matches.
weapon kata demonstrations
survival matches
free for all battles
team relay matches
speed challenges
lastly, activities that the captains of each dojo would have to do or all the kids in the comp:
1. leadership seminar; captains are required to give speeches or participate in discussions about their dojos philosophy, training style, discipline, skills.
2. demonstration matches; captains are required to participate in matches to show their skills and set an example.
3. coaching workshop; leadership skills between the captains would be tested. captains would have to try and coach fighters from the other dojos.
as you can see if you’ve read up to this point, there’s A LOT .. i am a professional yapper. relaying back to my point. all this couldn’t fit into 5 episodes between 30-40 minutes, that’s why everything should’ve been bigger, longer.
CK doesn’t have the budget im aware so most of these are just headcannons unless someone wants to write a fic and do a whole rewrite.. which I might be up to do.. however i cant write for shit😭
uhm yeah 👌
okay, BIG BRAWL ATE!!
zara losing sponsorships left and right, kwon now DECEASED. that #keenrykarma came THROUGH!
tory vs iron dragons ate so bad, i’ve absolutely loved her so much this season. she’s amaze.
hair on 10. face card on 10. body on 10. outfits on 10. fights on 10. my girl really did her big one.
the way robby FLUNG zara off tory so quick. he said he don’t play about his!!
and the ‘you’re really gonna choose her over me’ ‘its not even close’ IDK what zara stupid ass was thinking. girl you weren’t even in line, you were never gonna get chosen? stupid delusional bitch.
also zara getting jealous of tory was such a highlight for me. like queen cobra really go you that pressed? LOSER.
‘KISS THIS BITCH’ TORYYYYY TENSSS ACROSS THE BOARD
so ready to see my queen kick ass for the last time in 2025.
insane to me that ‘bop’ allegations started for tory when we saw him put his arm around her in the trailer, only to come across that exact scene in 06X8 and she shoved him off immediately.
you can also tell tory is sick of kwon ass. also ship allegations for kwon and tory. she can’t stand him and he doesn’t even fuck with her like that 😭😭
people shipping them because he looked at her in 06X5 was so crazy. like y’all ship anyoneee.
This. He didn't even try. He was starting to pmo
Imagine If Kwon Put The Work & Effort Into Actually Seducing Tory Instead Of Pawning Her.
