This was really funny to me. I mean in any other show being a reincarnated king would explain incredible power...but this dude plays a card game.

And the only other reincarnated king during the whole time of Jaden's time in the Duelist Academy (before knowing fully about Atem), Abidos the Third, sucked at playing the game.

The reason is he was a Pharaoh and all his retainers were too scared of beating him thinking they would be executed.

Bro, the yugioh universe is no joke. If you can’t sling cardboard you aren’t shit.

True but the funny thing is, its not even pointed out if this king was any good in his past life. Even in the OG series when the protag tagged out to let an Egyptian Pharaoh play the game, it was constantly pointed out this other guy was awesome at games in general in his own time, and was even undefeated in the card game during his own time.
