Title: The Gamble of Passion: Deconstructing Joey Wheeler’s “Passion” Decks in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Abstract

Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi) is often overshadowed by the supernatural protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh!, yet his decks—collectively referred to as “Passion Decks” by fans—represent a unique intersection of luck, resourcefulness, and emotional resilience. This paper analyzes the structural and thematic components of Joey’s archetypes (Warriors, Red-Eyes, and Gamblers), arguing that his “passion” is not a weakness but a deliberate mechanical philosophy favoring high-risk, high-reward synergy over consistent control.

As the flagship monster of the game, Red-Eyes Black Dragon is the centerpiece of a high-pressure offensive build. yugioh joey the passion decks
