Yugi Mutou wins!
The outcome was completely within Kira's expectations. Though the process had looked somewhat winding and even a little perilous, Yugi had ultimately taken the victory, just as expected.
No, it was hard to say whether it had even been perilous at all.
As everyone knew, it was not just Yugi. Ever since the Yu-Gi-Oh! series had begun, every protagonist in history had been the very embodiment of "they can't play unless they're at critical health." Whether against a boss or a minor nobody, even dueling some random passerby in a standalone episode could turn into a back-and-forth battle ending in a clutch comeback.
So for a Duel King, being at low Life Points was not a measure of whether the situation was favorable. Like Ultraman's red light, it was merely a signal that the finishing blow was coming.
For a Seafood Head at critical health, having two hundred Life Points on his side meant he was as steady as Mount Tai, while the opponent having four thousand Life Points meant they were a candle in the wind. They were not the same.

For one thing, if he had put Big Eye and Gishilnodon in Defense Position when he summoned them, he probably would not have died this Turn. But then again, that was not strange in an anime world. When a powerful monster hit the field while things were going well, who would put it in Defense Position?
Especially when the monster's ATK was higher than its DEF. Wouldn't facing the opponent with its backside first naturally make it seem
