Later on, he develops an interest in the Duel Monsters game, the latest fad at the time. Though not exactly the best gamer in Domino, he develops a better liking to them thanks to Yugi, and he's managed to use his strong points to help Yugi come through in earlier story lines. Jonouchi is touched by Yugi's behavior towards him and they become loyal friends, forming his own "treasure." Jonouchi is good at fist fighting and is usually able to take on people bigger than him, such as Bandit Keith (in the second anime, this quality is underplayed). Later on that night, he retrieves the last Millennium Puzzle piece and brings it back to Yugi's house, where Yugi completes it and challenges Ushio to the first Shadow Game of the series. When Ushio beats up Jonouchi and Honda, Yugi stands up for them, and it's then that Jonouchi realizes that he was jealous of Yugi's "treasure" all along. Jonouchi is loyal, heroic, good-natured, brave, funny, friendly, kind-hearted, and loving.
