Suggested correction: The mohawk was not a prop, but the actual hair of the actor they shaved off and mended together for him.

That is true, it was the actor's actual hair, but in the realm of the show, Eli's hair was not long enough to style that large of a mohawk out of it.

Suggested correction: Daniel lives far away. Johnny must have driven all night.

That implies that Daniel lives like 5-6 hours from his job.

I actually assumed that it was already like 6am or something like that and knowing how sprawled our everything is there figured maybe it was like a 40 min drive. But then Daniel's wife also says it's Saturday morning yet Miguel and Sam are in school.

Season 6 generally

Other mistake: During the Sekai Taikai tournament, all of the characters and extras wear new, pristine gis (karate uniforms) that never seem to get dirty. As they use their own gear, you would expect at least some wear and tear from previous use, or some marks from the fights, training, sweating, etc., to show occasionally, but the uniforms all seem brand-new all the time.

Suggested correction: It's not uncommon for competitors to bring multiple gis to a tournament; perhaps the participants were told to always have a fresh uniform for the cameras.

Even if they brought multiple gis, you would expect to see some wear and tear, or marks from previous contests. Also, several of the contestants are high school students from low- or middle-income families; they would not be able to afford buying several brand new uniforms for a single contest.

Maybe the tournament organisers supplied the uniforms?

Suggested correction: It's not uncommon for people wearing sandals to slip them on and off, wasn't she getting ready to leave anyway at that point?

No, this was before she decided to leave, she was just sitting in the chair still reading.

Samantha LaRusso: Aren't we supposed to avoid fighting?
Daniel LaRusso: Sometimes you can't. Someday the fight may come to you. And I want to make sure you're ready. So today we're going to see what Miyagi-Do is made of.

Show generally

Question: I've never seen the show so an explanation would really help. Why would Johnny open up his own Cobra Kai dojo? Since there was probably a lot of negative publicity due to how Kreese taught his students and how he attacked Johnny, a lot of people probably wouldn't go to a dojo synonymous with brutality but maybe to a dojo that taught karate the way it should be learned.

Answer: Just like in the original film, some guys want that brutality. Johnny in part opens the dojo because of his past rivalry with Daniel and to train a kid that's being bullied. But also, other kids that are being bullied want to join in order to learn to fight back. Johnny is also teaching the Cobra Kai creed (Strike First. Strike hard. No Mercy.") so that's why he opens his dojo with that name and the old Cobra Kai dojo's past reputation is exactly what he wants to elicit.
