i feel like joey should have won against marik, taken ra, then during the yugi vs kaiba semifinals a weakened joey gets ambushed by marik who just straight-up steals ra back. yugi wins vs kaiba only to find out joey is in the hospital, so the finals can't proceed. in the meantime yugi challenges marik, which plays out exactly as it did in canon. yugi now has all three god cards, faces off against joey in the finals, and loses. yugi offers joey his pick out of the god cards and joey picks red-eyes instead. kaiba ends up the saltiest mfer ever because his tournament ended in his rival getting all the god cards, and the title of "king of games" goes to joey of all people. he flies away to build kaibaland, everyone else goes off to millennium world
