Episode 58. Jonouchi is dueling that “psychic” prick. Why does the anime have to make him so retarded? They first hype him up by announcing he was second place in Duelist Kingdom.. but then on his first turn he plays a level 5 monster without using a tribute. Like why does he always have to be an idiot and then win by luck/retardation lol

Technically in the manga he has the excuse that Duel Disks were using Kingdom rules until the tournament itself started. In the anime they just kept his oversight of 5+ level monsters needing Tributes (which wasn't in effect when he dueled that Exodia Rare Hunter and lost after summoning Red-Eyes)... because they're more interested in selling TCG/OCG cards than respecting character integrity.

Although to be fair, nothing can beat the fact that he summoned like 5 monsters in a row against Battle Ox that have LOWER attack power instead of just summoning them in defense mode until he could lucksack Red-Eyes 
The fact that this dude managed to nearly out-duel Marik is plot shield in of itself

Finished episode 62. What a shame. Yugi vs Pandora was one of the best duels yet up until Dark Magician magically sacrificed itself to save Yugi’s ass. The creativity required in the duel was as good as it gets considering both players relied on the same card to win.

In the manga it was just a literal heart of the cards moment where it coincided with Kaiba waking up from the coma induced by Atem's Mind Crush. His "bond" with his archenemy Yugi caused a hologram of his Blue Eyes card to somehow stop attacking, lol. One of the reasons why the Duelist Kingdom arc in the manga may have been slightly better written in terms of character development for Atem (where he decided to stop using Penalty Games upon hearing Pegasus mention that there's an evil will inside the Millennium Items), I consider the anime version to be easier to sit through. Less heart of the cards PIS.
