And that, my friends, is what's called "Overselling a series."

No. Just no.
And what the hell was up with Kaito? That guy is completely nuts and NEVER makes sense.

*Nods*

Tendou didn't actually do that.
The reason the universe bent over backwards for Tendou is because he simply never doubted himself. He turned a bad situation into a good one because instead of falling to his knees and contemplating why he lost, he simply kept moving forward. He never broke down, he never cried, and he never panicked (Except for the one occasion where he did. And what happened? He was decisively curbstomped).

Tsukasa could lose, spend half the episode brooding, be a complete douche to Yusuke and co, and then win because the plot needed Tsukasa to win so it could move to the next world.
