Lol, well that’s certainly true. Judai could make it to the top if he really wanted to but that’s never been something that’s interested him at all. He doesn’t care about racking up points but he will duel just to have some fun with it while he can. :)
Of course he is, Kenzan. He barely ever actually went to class even before this year. ^^;; He just has even more of an excuse now to cut depending on how he feels.
Awww, Judai’s face there… He kind of looks like he’s about to cry that they’re still willing to trust him and want to help.
He was certainly trying to stay away in order to keep them safe but I think another part of it probably was that he still feels guilty over what happened to them last season and that he thought they wouldn’t really want anything to do with him anymore after all of that. But the others have chosen to forgive him and still do want to help him because they care. And of course they all want to be able to protect their school as well.
LOL! The fansub translation of this moment is far more hilarious out of context than the Crunchyroll version, especially with the faces they’re making. XD
