With all due respect, Jonouchi lost the battle. He lost thanks to the powerful Ra that Yami Marik used.

Who cares if his Gearfried should have defeated him; he lost, and that is.

You all need to accept that life is unfair as I did, as this was the most heartbreaking defeat seen. And if you ask me, the plot armor was necessary. I think Takahashi wanted that too, so why complain about it.

I wanted a complete and perfect defeat of both Ra and Yami Marik.

The chosen heroes, Yugi and Atem were able to avenge his defeat with the Osiris and Obelisk and then invoking Ragnarok to truly destroy Ra.

And then, Marik destroyed him personally by surrendering.

So why the hell are these fans always making fun of this moment and choose to not accept it and mark it as “non-canon”?

That’s a stupid decision because in life, we all need to take the L no matter how unfair it is.

Jonouchi was defeated by Ra and that’s it. There was no way to continue even after withstanding the hit. Even with Gearfried, he still lost.

He lost and Yami Marik won. If there was one lesson, it would be that no ordinary human can go against him.

And this “plot armor” is just seeing the legendary Yugi and Atem take charge as their God Cards are the only things to match Ra. That and “Ragnarok”.

So why hate plot armor instead of accepting it and not being a critic for good? Weren’t you all satisfied enough with Yami Marik being destoryed for good by the original Mario himself?

It’s like not accepting Vector’s delicious evil actions like deceiving Yuma as Shingetsu and his onslaught against the six of the Seven Barian Emperors while also calling both a “retcon”.

Also, Jonouchi’s defeat was meant to be a loss for something scary; whether or not he was dead or not.

Because the name of the next episode that continued after his defeat was dark! It said there “Jonouchi Dies”, making it sound heartbreaking.

That goes to show how legendary Kazuki Takahashi was in making the story for Yu-Gi-Oh!

So I am saying here is stop whining and accept reality already.

Jonouchi lost, fair and square by Yami Marik and his Ra.

The end; that’s all.
