PlotEdit

SpongeBob is waxing Gary when the local mailfish shows up hand and hands SpongeBob a videotape. SpongeBob plays the tape, which says that he has been crowned "King of Karate" and tells him to go to "Karate Island" to be crowned.

SpongeBob is about to leave when he encounters Sandy, to whom he happily explains that he is the King of Karate. Sandy is suspicious of this, so she accompanies SpongeBob on the boat ride. The boat stops at Karate Island, where the guru, Master Udon, greets SpongeBob but ignores Sandy. SpongeBob, to prove his Karate skills, asks to fight Master Udon's best guards. Three guards arrive, who SpongeBob defeats with unusual ease.

Sandy notices this, adding to her suspicion. SpongeBob is officially crowned "King of Karate" and sits on his

throne and requests Sandy to sit beside him in a lounge chair. Sandy leaves when SpongeBob becomes arrogantly proud and accuses her of being jealous of him. After she leaves, SpongeBob is suddenly locked into his throne. Just as Sandy steps into the water, she hears SpongeBob's cries for help, and reluctantly goes back to save him.

Sandy fights through Udon's castle, fighting an opponent on each floor until she reaches the top floor, where SpongeBob is being held hostage by Master Udon. Udon reveals that he is a real estate agent, and won't let SpongeBob go until he agrees to buy a time-share condo on the island. He then tells SpongeBob he is not king of karate, but could be king of condos. Sandy attempts to fight Udon, but he drops a cage on her, which she quickly breaks out of. Master Udon rips off his robs while Sandy rips off her jumpsuit and after a brief muscle growth in their swimsuits the two begin fighting, and Sandy defeats Udon by kicking him out of the window into the water below. She frees SpongeBob, and the two leave the island.

The episode ends with Squidward arriving on "Clarinet Island" to be crowned "King of Clarinets", and being greeted by Master Udon.

The episode originally ended with a dedication to Noriyuki "Pat" Morita (1932–2005), also known as Mr. Miyagi from The Karate Kid series, who voiced Master Udon in this episode and died on November 24, 2005. The online version still has his dedication.

Quotes Edit

• Udon: He is forbidden to leave until he signs this contract.
• Mailfish: Special delivery for SpongeBob SquarePants.

SpongeBob: (Crying) Special delivery just for me...you think I'm..special?

Mailfish: All right, do we have to go through this every time I deliver your mail? SHEESH!!

• Sandy: (To Lip Service) That's enough lip outta you!
• Squidward: (Rides on a boat after SpongeBob and Sandy left) I'm here! The king of clarinets has arrived!
• SpongeBob: (to Sandy) What makes you think that's Karate Island? (A sign is pointing to the island, reading Karate Island)
• Sandy: You're in the soup now, Udon!

TriviaEdit

• This episode was voted number 1 and the best on the Best Day Ever Marathon.
• This episode is dedicated to Pat Morita (voice of Master Udon) who died on November 24, 2005 due to kidney failure.
• The painting of a boat inside Gary's shell is a replica of the painting over The Simpsons' family couch.
• 42nd time Patrick doesn't appear.
• Udon is named after a Japanese/Korean noodle soup. Ironically, When Sandy defeats Master Udon, she says "You're in the soup now, Udon!".
• In Germany, this episode is called "Der König des Karate" (The King of Karate).
• When Sandy throws jelly filled donuts at The Tickler , the first shot of the plate shows that there are barely any left, but the second shot shows the plate full of donuts again.
• The Tickler's mouth full of jelly filled donuts that Sandy used to attack is similar to Patrick's mouth full of snowballs that SpongeBob used in "Snowball Effect".
• In the scene where Sandy fights the enemies on each floor, the dialogue is dubbed, similar to old style Kung-Fu films.
• Sandy's helmet protects Sandy from Filthy Phil's body odor, but in other episodes, Sandy's helmet doesn't protect Sandy from any smell at all.
• The scene in which Master Udon falls through the wall and lands in the water is a redo of the last scene of Game of Death, where through an aerial view, the villain is seen falling down to the streets, after being kicked off a balcony by Bruce Lee.
• This episode contains many references to films Game of Death and Kill Bill:
• Sandy's yellow jumpsuit is a reference to the jumpsuit that both Bruce Lee and Uma Thurman wore in their respective films.
• Also, the concept of fighting an opponent on each floor is also present in both of these films.
• When Lip Service says "Dance, Squirrel, dance", it is a possible parody of The Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons where Natasha Fatale says "squirrel" in the same accent.
• This is one of the few episodes where the title card is animated.
• When Sandy kicks Master Udon in the face, she has five toes, instead of 3 or 4 like the rest of the characters in the show.
• This is the first episode to have sound effects on title cards.
• When Lip Service's lips break, her teeth are still shown in her mouth.
