Spoiler:
Hawk turn was disappointing. He has a random change of heart, and suddenly everything is forgiven?He still broke your arm, dude.
And I mean, they just established he's out of his mind with anger, beating a school bully to a bloody pulp. Kind of an odd scene to show, shortly before a heel-face turn.

Spoiler:
He did not want to break his arm, Demitri has never been the type to hold grudges, especially against someone he considered his best friend. Plus, if Demitri rejected his apology it's the wrong time to turn down help in a fight, lmao. Hawk had been turning ever since the beginning of S3.
It seems that doing the right thing and the wrong thing are both wrong.
Miguel did the opposite of Hawk and held back then ended up in a coma. Hawk didn't hold back, but injured a former friend and then had feelings. Then in the first season when Miguel didn't hold back he became a champion.
Meanwhile Robbie not holding back helps him out(in juvy) when not holding back before is what landed him there. So...mixed messages lol. Is violence wrong or not? The end would hint it is, but then again they agreed to settle their differences via fighting lol. Yes at a tournament, but still...why not call the cops? I know they tried before, but now we have multiple witnesses including adults and teenagers coming out against Kreese. And why on Earth would they even think Kreese would honor the terms? What does he have left in life? Think he's just gonna walk away?
Also laughed that they imply Kumiko just never moved on from a romance she had for a week when she was 18. Daniel sure moved on. Is it a Japanese female thing? Cuz Miyagi's first love didn't move on either.
I enjoyed the season, but one thing that bugged me was Miguel acting like Johnny never mentioned his upbringing and how he was wealthy younger. This is a lie. In the first season when Miguel invites Johnny for dinner and Johnny tells his mom where he grew up she even comments on it and Miguel is sitting right there. It just felt like they wanted to make Johnny seem like even more of an a-hole, when that could have been accomplished merely with Miguel finding out Johnny lied about his feud with Daniel.

I think this season was trying to be more grey or ambiguous compared to the last two. You see that through-out the season, and not just through it's messages. Tory is portrayed as exceptionally brutal, watched and cheered Hawk on as he broke Demitri's arm, yet when Hawk laid a beatdown on Brucks, she could barely watch.
I think they're trying to make things more "human". People change, and morality is kind of fragile, especially as a teen.
I like how the teens are starting to learn that they can't always entirely rely on their role models for the answers, sometimes they just need to figure shit out on their own. It's okay to push them in the right DIRECTION, but in the end, only they can make their own choices.

Also lets face it, Striking First was the only way for Robbie to get by in prison. So was actually good advice Kreese gave him. But of course it was his way of swaying Robbie to his team.
It's not like the kid was in Riker's island. He *could* have reached out to Daniel to tell about his treatment.
