We all know the story, but what we finally learn is that our Mr. Larusso is a bit of an underachiever. It's obvious that Daniel Larusso doesn't want to go to college. I mean, he takes his winnings from the all valley championship and buys a very expensive plane ticket to Okinawa. Then he takes the rest of his savings that he won from breaking the ice and opens a nursery? He doesn't understand a thing about running a business, and not a f-ing thing about plants. No porters five forces? Didn't see if the market was saturated with other nurseries. Opening it in the San Fernando valley? They've been under a drought since the mid-80s. How these plants getting watered? Nah nah... There's way too many red flags.
The real problem I had with the story is that Cobra Kai would have succeeded regardless. They didn't need mike "bad boy" Barnes and his best bud Snake to vandalize the shop. Kicking a girl in the stomach while she's having a delicious Mac 'n Cheese dinner? That's just unAmerican. If Daniel doesn't fight, Mike wins the tournament and Mr. Silver throws out his mustard colored cobra Kai shirts, drawing kids into his dojos.
Mr. Myagi refuses to train Daniel for the tournament, leaving everyone scratching their heads, since he got Daniel into this mess in the first place. But could you really blame him? He recently lost his father, and is most likely looking forward to retirement, when Danny comes along with this wild idea to open a bonsai tree shop. Now he's forced to run this shop by himself, when all he really wants to do is add on to his house and watch Maury.
