Except Ex is luckier than Akeno since he has a loving family to accompany him while Akeno was thrown out and had to travel Japan to avoid getting killed.

This is why Ex's anger feels slightly misdirected. He has good mentors, good siblings and loving parents (rarely accompanying him doesn't mean they don't love him) but he doesn't realize how blessed he is compared to his elders.
