Taikai

Whilst the fighting has definitely been getting better tans better as this show goes on. Sadly it has also been getting a naffer and naffer to the point where it's like watching a cheesy American soap opera.

And who decided to pick Kenny, a scrawny, clearly weak kid to become a supposed badass ass and to be feared bully. Guy couldn't be less wimpy if they tried, a piece of paper would be most threatening. Every scene he's in is just cringy. They need to write him out and get a real badass in.

It's a shame that Hawk got really powered down for this episode just because the writers couldn't write a truly equal rival.

When Sam got out of the Uber and looked at her phone, her manicure looked like it was lit from the inside! Very cool. Was that just the lighting, or is there a kind of manicure that I don't know about?

I agree with the reviewer who said that the show became a soap opera, but I think that is almost over now - the pointless and random group fights seem to be gone, and I think Season 5 will hopefully move back to mainly being about karate. (Will there be more seasons? I haven't kept up on that).

Both my sons competed in karate, and it is sad to say that there really are dojos who engage in that kind of unfair fighting.
