So I feel like its often overlooked that Johnny and friends ganged up 5 against 1 and BEAT DANIEL UNCONSCIOUS... If Mr. Miyagi hadn't come along theres a possibility Johnny could have killed him.
I feel like... Even after 35 years and a love-romantic relationship forming, this would cause trust/intimacy issues related to past violence for Daniel. Even if they were subconscious.
Particularly if Johnny was a Top: I'm thinking maybe he'd equate sex with Johnny (Or maybe with men in general) with violence and would assume it would be rough or painful. So maybe he's really caught off guard when Johnny is a real softie in bed and gets emotional? Or maybe he has a flashback when Johnny does get a bit spirited in the sack?
CK era Johnny/Daniel Sexual Trust issues related to the Haloween dance beatdown.

Either way I want that trauma explored.
