It essentially all kicked off because of Sensei Niamh's offensively-stereotypical drunken-brawling "Dublin Dojo" .
The accents!
Also if they continue the competition now... and I know it's not a show full of realism, but that would be utterly ridiculous. I mean come on. That thing is getting shut down permanently.
Totally thought of TiBB Niamh - and what she would think - when I saw the Dublin Thunder dojo, yeah.
Spoiler:
I want to know what effect it will have on the characters, including Kreese and Silver. Will they now put their vengeance aside?
