* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Ren and Logan tend to get on each other's case over how they've been living in the GX world, and tend to be right regardless of who is on the giving and receiving ends. Ren is right when he points out that Logan acts selfishly and is more concerned about living out his personal power fantasy with no regards for how it impacts others. Logan is right when he points out how that if Ren didn't want to be involved in canon, he shouldn't have applied to Duel Academy in the first place. He's also more willing to accept the fact that things are different from the anime's canon, and that it's futile to try and railroad the plot back to what they remember from the anime.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Logan starts out an arrogant snob focused on living out his power fantasy. But he is right when he points out that if Ren didn't want to be involved in the events of canon like he claims, then he shouldn't have applied to Duel Academy in the first place. Ren even admits in his narration that he has no excuse for this.

** Part of the problem with Dimitri emulating the strategies of other duelists is that people know how to counter them, especially famous duelists like Yugi. Ren even points out that Yugi himself had to change up his strategies throughout the years because people knew what to expect and developed counters to his old strategies.

However, he's also aware of the possibility that she could be a person from this world whose life changed thanks to [[ForWantOfANail his and Logan's existence changing things]]. The fact that she has amnesia means he's not going to get answers about her right away.
