Yes, Sensei

Yes, Sensei

Halo: Reach

Yes, Sensei is a Multiplayer achievement in Halo: Reach. It was awarded when a player earned a First Strike in a matchmaking game.^[1]

Following the shutdown of Xbox 360 Halo online services on January 13, 2022, this achievement is no longer attainable.^[2]^[3]

Trivia[edit]

The achievement's name is a reference to the 1984 film The Karate Kid, in which the antagonistic Cobra Kai dojo advocates striking first, and striking without mercy.^[4] Sensei means both "teacher" and "first strike" in Japanese.^[5]
