the worst part is i can't even say he's wrong. they certainly did figure out how to contribute the city by joining the wrgp. but like. this is one of those things where it literally does not make sense. this is insane levels of logic. "we're not sure how to contribute to the city. we think entering a magic the gathering tournament will help." like. imagine saying that fr when your parents ask what you're going to do after you graduate college. "idk. thought i'd play card games and figure it out, man"

#yugioh 5ds #yusei fudo #anya rewatches yugioh 5ds sub #i'm cackling over this #like dude you FUCKIN SAVED THE CITY #ushio calling this out too with like ''uhm. you guys kinda saved the city? you don't have to prove anything?''#and they never fully answer why they feel they have to prove something #they just do #arguably this implies an insane level of overachieving from yusei crow and jack #since they're not satisfied with JUST saving the city #but like. it does kinda suck that neither crow nor jack got to move on from playing card games with this set up?#yusei moves on to working on the moment - that works SO MUCH with this statement #and their statements made here #i suppose if you take jack's ''the team that wins will have glory'' statement at face value him continuing to do dueling also makes sense #but it also DOESN'T because like. he ALREADY HAD glory. he's the fuckin former king #this tournament changes nothing. he continues on as if he's still trying to reach it #and it just. there's a lot with jack's writing this season i WILL NOT get into #but oh my god jack atlas is a woman to me the way she was mishandled #and crow's... a lot of it falls so fuckin flat #the three boys were ROBBED but also yusei fully never gets to ever reclaim being a teenager #he ends the series forced into a role he never once indicated he wanted #following the footsteps of his father who he never once indicated he wanted to follow the footsteps of #yusei's character suffers because the show never bothers to address this constant hero complex he has #it's never confronted in any MEANINGFUL way like atem and judai's were #atem's hero complex cost him everything in the waking the dragons arc for example #and judai's led him straight down the path of becoming the supreme king #but for yusei? it's never like. deconstructed. ever.#and it feels like suuuuch a missed moment to go hey yusei. you do not have to be the hero of the city. you are a teenage boy.#what you have done for the city IS ENOUGH you do not owe your life to everyone
