Season 6 Tournament(s) arc [aka if the writers knew how to have fun]
The team makes it into the Sekai Taikai same as before and is told they have 3 month to prepare
They are told 1 week after getting in that the tournament will be held in Barcelona, but are also told that the events will only be unveiled 2 weeks before the start
Daniel and Johnny meet up to talk schedules and training regimens and Johnny suggests something
Johnny : You know how you’re a 2 time all valley champ
Daniel : yes? As are you?
Johnny : well I’m also a 1 time San Francisco Champion, a 1 time Sacramento champ, a 1 time (so on and so forth)
Johnny : you really think Kreese didn’t have us decimating every tournament in the state (and a few in neighboring states)???
Daniel : I wasn’t aware there were other tournaments??
Johnny : well that’s stupid of you ANYWAYS what if instead of just regular training we put them through every tournament happening in the next 2.5 months (on top of regular training of course)
Daniel : that might just be the least crazy idea you’ve ever had
Que montage of the kids sleeping on busses as they travel to tournaments across the state, at rest stops buying snack, standing in the cold with duffel bags half asleep at like 2 am, someone screaming to pull over because they have to go to the bathroom, road trip stuff
And each tournament has different rules
One has no gender division, but does have a separation by weight (Bert featherweight champion lmfao)
One only does skills and weapons
Just a bunch of different tournaments
We get a montage of every tournament happening and different people winning different fights
A little time lapse of the Miyagi-do trophy wall going from like 3 trophies (2 Daniel 1 Eli) to like 35 as they bring home more and more wins from more and more different events
We get to the point when it’s announced that only 6 can go and 2 ppl need to be selected as captains and everyone is 1,000% more chill about it because they all have a trophy by now
Miguel especially is way less snippy because he can wow Stanford with like 7 trophies instead of just 1 (he’s obviously still a little disappointed but that just how being a competitive athlete is)
They all go into the tournament way more confident
(Maybe Tory doesn’t switch sides because she also won quite a few fair and square and since her mom was feeling better she got to see her win. Still dies, but it’s less,,,,, sucky)
