* Shannon being able to see right through Silver and ascertaining his malicious motives when he attempts to win her confidence by effectively bribing her with a wad of cash and an unsolicited employment offer, while seemingly seeking to become a father figure for Robby by loaning him a car for prom to get at Johnny, going straight to inform her ex-boyfriend and insisting that he take care of the matter before it spirals out of control for their son's sake. It really shows how much she has grown as a character in general and a mother in particular, when compared to her previous susceptibility to being taken in by the false promises of the affluent men that she courted before going to rehab and turning her life around.

** To think, no matter how many times Kreese disrespected Daniel and Miyagi throughout seasons 2 and 3, Daniel always held back or walked away. But turning his students on Daniel's family, students, home? [[RageBreakingPoint That's the final straw.]] So Daniel unleashing all his cold fury on Kreese, not just for this and for everything Kreese did to him and his family throughout Season 3, but also for everything Kreese and Terry Silver put him through in 1985, is one of the most cathartic and satisfying things to see.

* Tory getting revenge on Silver by being key to taking him down after he had paid off the umpire in her fight against Sam Laruso, where he forever tainted a victory she might very well have earned.

* Although brief, the fight between Chozen Toguchi (the villain from ''Film/TheKarateKidPartII'') and Mike Barnes (the villain from ''Film/TheKarateKidPartIII'') was both surreal and awesome to witness at the same time. Particularly since Mike explicitly hasn't trained in karate for ''thirty years,'' and is still good enough to briefly go toe-to-toe with Chozen.

Chozen - which is to say, Daniel steps in and puts a stop to it rather than Chozen doing [[CurbStompBattle Chozen things]]. In fact, considering Mike's on the VERY short list of people who managed to land a clean hit on Chozen, it's impossible to tell how the fight would've turned out if it went the distance. And once again, Mike's been out of action for ''thirty years''.

* When Terry arrives just after his EngineeredPublicConfession plays, he's incredulous when he assumes this was Daniel's "big plan" to beat him and that it doesn't change anything. Robby and Tory are the first to start against him:
-->'''Tory''': It wasn't his plan, it was ours.
-->'''Robby''': And it changes everything.
** Terry does the call and response from the Cobra Kai students of "And what the enemy deserves?", but what does he get in response instead of "No Mercy"? '''Deafening silence.'''
** Terry also even still gets no support when he's bringing up how Johnny, Chozen and Mike all broke into his home and attacked him. It doesn't matter. That everyone thinks he asked for it all and that he left them no choice shows how much the cracks that are now there just continue to get bigger and bigger from that point forward with no signs of stopping.

*** Robby, his left shoulder dislocated and useless, centers himself using a Miyagi-Do technique and for a few glorious seconds [[HopeSpot fends off Miguel's barrage of punches and kicks with one arm]]. Unfortunately, it's not enough as SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome occurs and Miguel gets the win.

* When the teacher catches Kenny and Anthony's group, it looks like we'll get a repeat of the same crap from the previous seasons [[BlamingTheVictim where the victims were either punished alongside their bullies]] or were the sole recipients of punishment while the bullies avoided any consequences. So it is a pleasant surprise when neither outcome happens, and instead the principal recognizes that Kenny is the victim and Anthony's crew are the bullies, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome thanks to camera footage of them chasing Kenny and them posting evidence of their bullying Kenny online]]. You can't help but grin alongside Kenny when he sees the disappointed DeathGlare Daniel gives Anthony.

* Miguel calls out Hawk for breaking Demetri's arm and terrorizing Miyagi-Do for no justifiable reason, and Johnny confronts Hawk and the rest of his former students by stating that he's the ones that made them skilled fighters, not Kreese, and that Kreese will make them throw their lives away the same way his nearly was.

** The best part? Daniel did so using a combination of techniques from all 3 dojos. He used Silver's own Quicksilver lessons against him, Johnny's Screaming Eagle technique, ''and won, with, in Terry's words, "that crane-crap", no less.'' Daniel has truly overcome his demons and found balance within himself.

Daniel has truly overcome his demons and found balance within himself. Not only that, but he did so without taking a single hit himself, symbolically showing that while Chozen may be the better fighter, Daniel really is the Mr. Miyagi of his generation.

** You have to hand it to Kyler too, he beats the formidable, albeit not elite member Mitch to earn a spot. The previews for Season 3 heavily suggested it would be Kyler who would be taken down by Hawk as payback, but he actually used his absence to [[CameBackStrong improve his craft]].
