Goes Poorly As Expected - Tumblr Posts
Y'know rewatching Yugioh GX has made realize how well Yugi took the whole deal during his entire season. Jaden/Judai like the dub theme implies just wanted to go to duel academy to play card games, make friends, and have fun. Bro did not sign up for all these duels to the death/ for the fate of the world.
Then the characters and some people are surprised he's not immediately super heroic and serious about this. This isn't a Spiderman situation, he's literally just going to school.
Now the whole Yubel debacle is his fault. Granted when he sent them to space I imagine he thought he was sending to space timeout, not space Detroit. But when Yubel kept trying to say I love you and imply he knew Jaden he probably should've caught on that something was up. He did get there eventually after a flashback, but the lead up to it was an issue that it turns out a kid shouldn't be responsible for saving the world. At least not without a therapist.
