Was Joey About To Defeat Marik? [The Darkness Return...
look joey/jonouchi was the best character in the anime
raspberrydrink
I say as someone that watched only a handful of the dub
raspberrydrink
but also I'm right
Phas
just based on the title... yes, this was literally textual in the episode
pixie lovemail
you are correct yeah
pixie lovemail
the only reason why marik went to the finals is because jou literally fell into a coma ONE SYLLABLE AWAY from completing his final attack
pixie lovemail
after taking his SECOND DIRECT HIT from a FUCKING GOD
Phas
and spending the duel being magically tortured
Phas
...man, Joey really went through it in Battle City
Levi
ye it's not really a question up for debate, Marik only won based off a technicality
Phas
-beat up and robbed by the Rare Hunters
-kidnapped
-mind controlled
-nearly drowned
-hit by magic lightning
-tortured into basically a coma
raspberrydrink
having watched the video it's more him talking about moves Joey coulda done to win earlier and generally analyzing the duel
raspberrydrink
apparently this is a series that does this with all the big plot duels, I might have to watch more
Phas
oh, interesting
Levi
I am like tangentially aware of this series and figured it was something like that, but in this case the title doesn't do it any favors (I know all the videos are titled like that)
raspberrydrink
he legit says if Joey had played in hus usual aggressive style he woulda swept
raspberrydrink
cuz Marik was 100% not taking it seriously
raspberrydrink
but I can't really blame him for playing nervously since, all that
Levi
most likely, yes, Marik's deck also requires a lot of setup
Phas
...also yes Joey is great if only because he has an objectively terrible deck that is almost entirely based on luck and is not actually adversely affected by shoving in all the random cards he wins in BC
Phas
but he has heeeeeeeeeart
raspberrydrink
he's doing his Best
Levi
Joey please don't play Inset Queen
Levi
it's legitimately awful besides who wants to play a card Weevil touched
Phas
Jinzo is the only card he wins that you could even begin to toss into a random deck like that
Levi
ye, because Jinzo is a generic card that can fit into basically any deck that isn't trap focused
Phas
and even then you're risking your own traps
Phas
but it's at least not as specialized and in need of support as Insect Queen or Legendary Fisherman
Levi
it's usually a tradeoff worth making at least, because in that era of YGO, it's hard to out a Jinzo, having a 2400 beater immune to traps still has niche use even in the modern day
Levi
Jinzo was legitimately overpowered back in DM, and and its anime counterpart is even stronger since it actively destroyed traps instead of just preventing your opponent from using them
Levi
though of course, like 80% of anime duels could've been easily beaten by "please just play spell/trap removal"

i agree tbh even today jou is still my favorite that i think of fondly from the yugioh series
ChoHakkaiFan
he was my and literally was one of the few characters relying off of pure skill and capability alone and i loved that about him
ChoHakkaiFan
joey was a force to reckoned with
