Made me so mad I threw my juice box at the tv.
Has a chance to completely subvert expectations and allow the lovable side-character to defeat the big bad

Lucas Adams
At least Joey legit won, he just fainted before declaring the finishing blow. That's miles over what other YGO side characters tried to do.
Hunter Sanchez
Let it go user, let it go.
Gavin Thompson
Yeah, I'm pretty sure a rival battle between Joey and Yugi would've made for a more fun premise for the final battle in this and would've made this battle a mark in story.
It's difficult to take such a risky route, though, so I get why they went the easy way.
Chase Thompson
Joey beat Yugi afterwards anyway.
Marik being beaten by Joey would've solved nothing.
Gavin Walker
>subvert expectations
This isn't inherently a good thing though.
Nathaniel Foster
A side character underdog beating the arc villain is not the same thing as Luke Skywalker giving up. Not all subversions are bad.
Matthew Sanders
It's not like he deserved to get there in the first place.

>Red Eyes is the dragon of potential
>20 years later Red Eyes support is still shittier than blue eyes support, like intentionally gimped to be worse.
>Red eyes gets a fucking Gemini monster while Blue eyes gets a monster that counts as a normal monster in hand and GY while also having a good effect
Yes i'm mad. still waiting on that "potential" konami.
