It goes to show how you can have a comfortable lifestyle with a nice family, a profitable business, in a beautiful part of the world, and *still* peak in high school.
I feel the real problem here is Daniel ceases to be a functional adult during times he feels he needs Miiyagi. That level of dependence just isn't healthy. It's been 7 years since Miyagi died when the series starts. Daniel must have coped with it somehow.
