I love this because it’s also a huge sign of how much Yuya has grown! In his first duel with Sora, he lost Odd-Eyes to an attack and it almost broke him. Odd-Eyes was so important to him, and his own mental state was so easily shaken by things not going to plan back then, that losing Odd-Eyes in a battle made him totally freak out.

But now, he loses Odd-Eyes, and not only does he know that he can bring Odd-Eyes back easily, he’s grown a lot and learned to take mistakes and things he didn’t plan for in stride, as part of the duel and the show. He’s grown up and learned how to handle the unexpected, and it’s so good to see ;w;
