Rudy makes the hardest decision of his life when his Uncle Blake offers him a high profile job so Bobby Wasabi sells the dojo to Ty and the Black Dragons. After Ty downgrades the Wasabi Warriors, they quit and go their separate ways.
Plot[]
Part 1[]
When Rudy gets a phone call from his uncle that he is coming to visit him, Rudy is nervous and explains that when he graduated Seaford High, his uncle gave him money to go to business school, but he invested it in the dojo instead. All these years, Rudy has let his uncle think that he is this big successful businessman and he is afraid that when his uncle arrives at the dojo, he will find out that Rudy is a joke. Jack and the others agree that they have to help Rudy and ask Joan if they can borrow the keys to her boss' office, who is out of town.
Later, Rudy's uncle arrives at the office and is proud of the successful man Rudy has become. Later, things take an interesting turn when Rudy tells the others that his uncle offered him a job to work with him. Everyone tells Rudy that it is an amazing opportunity and encourages him to go; however, this means that Rudy must leave the dojo, but not wanting to miss a great opportunity, Rudy makes the decision to go. Bobby Wasabi later reveals that he has sold the dojo to Ty, the only other sensei in Seaford.
Ty turns the dojo into a Black Dragons dojo, which does not settle well with the Wasabi Warriors, but they pretend to be happy for Rudy's sake. However, they later cannot take it anymore and quit, and even though they promise not to, they eventually end up going their separate ways.
Part 2[]
It is now three months later, and things take another interesting turn when Rudy's uncle wants Rudy to run a new park he is opening up in Taiwan. Before Rudy goes, he calls Jack and asks him to gather the group because has some big news to tell them in person. However, when Jack finds and tries to gather everyone, they are all too busy, and along the way, Jack discovers that Kim has a new boyfriend named Brett. However, when Jack is later waiting for Rudy at Falafel Phil's, the others show up, who have realized that they miss things the way they used to be. Rudy arrives, who tells everyone that he got a promotion and is moving to Taiwan; while everyone is sad inside, they act all happy for him and congratulate him and spend the night celebrating. Rudy realizes that he has to get packing, and he and the others share one last "Wasabi!" and hug.
Rudy decides to pay a visit to the Black Dragons Dojo, where he learns from Ty that Jack and the others left three months ago. Rudy gathers everyone together and is upset at them for lying, and Jack explains that they did not want him to miss out on a great opportunity because of them. Rudy then asks if they would come back if he were their sensei in that dojo, to which they all respond yes, so Rudy decides to fight Ty and his students to get his dojo back. However, they must first get back into shape as they are all rusty, and Milton asks his aunt to help them. After some hard work and dedication, everyone is now in shape and ready to take on Ty and his students.
Later, during the matches, Kim is able to defeat her opponent; however, Jack becomes distracted by Kim's boyfriend Brett, and his match ends in a tie. When it is Rudy's turn, Ty reveals that he hired new sensei Kofi Kingston, who Rudy will be taking on instead. Rudy is beaten so bad during the match that the others encourage him to quit because they do not want to see him get injured anymore. However, Rudy refuses to give up and manages to defeat Kofi. Rudy's uncle shows up, who tells Rudy that he has already been told the truth; however, rather than being disappointed, he is proud and tells Rudy that he made a great investment by buying the dojo.
