damn

I hope this makes it apparent why I’m so pissed at the anime for cutting this out

It’s so real

It escalates so quickly after Yuugi was the first to freak out, and suddenly after being blank for so long Jounouchi’s letting it all out

This is the most honest he’s probably been with himself in years

and Honda… his little ‘You’re not a bully anymore’ with that little wink

then that smile he has right after

it’s so bitter, and yet it’s got this pride to it

they’re not those guys anymore, sure for a while there they were pretty shitty (in their view point) but now

they’ve got something that made want to be better people… and dear god if Jounouchi isn’t beautiful in that last panel then I don’t know what else is
