      ​@Deity_devil No that wasn't enough. Getting whooped is one thing, but being forced to drink dookie water is a whole other level of cruel. When the laxatives happened to Kenny, I immediately thought about what he did to Anthony prior. What goes around comes around

      Imo I always rated him bc he was bullied so he sought out on what would he thought was the best idea, joining robby at corba kai. So seeing his closest thing to a role model leave cobra kai and join the "enemy". Let's also forget this guy was manipulated by his sensei and was of the few people who believed in him so I don't blame him

    Kenny is my favorite character for sure.
    Let me explain; Kenny reminded me so much of myself when I was kid and my son. I was bullied relentlessly, and had so much rage. My son is that sweet kid that’s a gamer and can be a little silly. But he also so emotionally mature that when he was being bullied he used his understanding to end any and all issues. Doesn’t hurt that he’s practically a giant. A gentle giant.
    I make the point that I personally connected with Kenny both myself and as my son. I love that character so much.
    Kenny, Anthony, and Devon are the future of the universe.

    The only thing I want to see now is Kenny and Anthony teaming up against Anthonys former "friends", the spoiled rich kids that antagonized Anthony into bullying Kenny in the first place. In another universe, Anthony and Kenny were very similar as people and could have become great friends if their first interaction had just gone a bit differently, just like Johnny and Daniel who were also very similar despite their different backgrounds.

    I get very emotionally happy rewatching Kenny lead Miyagi Do to a victory in the tournament despite Silver trying to get in his head and not being trusted by the binary bozos
    His awesome uppercut and his passionate “LETS GO!!!” was beautiful
    And I don’t know about anyone else, but even though he was incorrect about who put laxatives in his drink in thinking it was Anthony
    I think Kenny showed maturity in not acting on those instincts and instead choosing to wanna be left alone
    Things only escalated when Amanda and Anthony came to him (not that I fault Amanda and her intentions)
    So yes, Kenny has redeemed himself

    Redeemed himself for what exactly? He was a kid that got bullied then manipulated by a psychopath, then abandoned by his mentor AFTER he hit him like a full grown adult trying to impress his psychotic sensei. Kenny just like Hawk was a product of his environment if you kick a dog enough times it's going to develop a violent and aggressive nature as a defense mechanism to protect itself. Hawk became a full on aggressor but Kenny only wanted to torment the people who tormented him he didn't bully smaller kids just cause like Hawk did. He didn't need redeeming he needed a good mentor.

    There's only 6 episodes left and the stories of 8 main characters need a satisfying conclusion.
    Part 2 largely focussed on secondary characters to give final resolutions for minor characters and not have to focus on them in part 3.
    The writers will focus on the main characters now. Don't expect anything unexpected for secondary characters like Kenny or Devon.
    Now it's all about the OGs, the power couples and Hawk+Dimitri :)
