But Mai didn\'t suffer(in the anime, anyway) from the same Dark Game and Penalty Game, and Mai is not Yugi and Jou either, so you can\'t really comapre them. About her joke afterwards, it doesn\'t really contridict anything, these things can take time.

As for Yami, what Rafael is to Yami dosen\'t matter, as he attacked a weak point, Yami\'s lack of memories. Remember, Yami didn\'t want to play the card initially, he only did when he was backed into a corner. While it\'s true that Yami\'s relative ruthlessness and arrogance was addressed in his development, it\'s not like it came out of nowhere (even after his duel with Kaiba, he still nearly lost because he was too fixated on Pegasus). It\'s still part of his character, and it took very specific circumstances to get it resurface (his need to prove his lack of dark side, his feelings of obligation towards the DMG, the whole \

To me, this is just the final step in the Yami learn to trust Yugi plot, one final time that he doesn\\\'t do it and this time it really bites him in the ass. BTW, is angsting because he caused Yugi\\\'s soul to be taken really Wangst? What makes it different than Yami nearly giving up after Jou nearly died? That said, even if I disagree, I can see why others wouldn\\\'t like this development, but that doesn\\\'t change the fact that it doesn\\\'t come out of nowhere. Again, even if it is bad character development, bad character development and character derailment are not the same thing.
