The Karate KidandRockyare franchises of the same general breed.

Additionally,The Karate Kidmoviesare directed by John G. Avildsen, who also directed the first and fourthRockymovies.

Of course, this didn’t stop Johnny from wanting to beatSensei Wolf inCobra Kaiseason 6.

In a way, this, too, is a reference toRocky.

The fact thatCobra Kaiused this song to showcase Johnny and Daniel’s newfound teamwork is both ironic and heartwarming.

However,“You’re the Best” also had significance following Daniel’sRockyreference.
