[Johnny listens to this with interest. It sounds like quite the event and honestly Ochako's enthusiasm is infectious. He's just pumped to see a kid so eager to compete right off the bat.]

It sounds bigger than any competition I did back where I'm from. Karate was huge in the Valley but that's about as far as it went Stateside.

So you made it to the finals back where you were from? That's pretty impressive- When I competed in high school I managed to win without losing a point in my freshman and junior years.

So if we team up I think we've got a solid foundation to win this thing. Welcome to Cobra Kai, kid.

...And you're going to have to tell me more about the other competitions and shit they put you through. We can look into incorporating some of that next year.

[Look. Johnny is just blown away by what this kid has told him. He's kind of instantly charmed.]
