Losing a battle (which was only due to Lightning cheating TWICE, even) is not an example of this trope. It was well-established that Lightning was a threat already.

* LoopholeAbuse: Lightning was thought to have gone down with Revolver after using the co-linked "Eques Flamma's" effect... except he barely hung on with only 1 LP because he didn't give all of his Origin's consciousness data, which he used to convert to extra LP to keep himself in the game, to Bohman.

* VillainsWantMercy: A weakened Lightning helplessly crawls over to Bohman and begs for mercy, to the point of offering to be assimilated within him; despite Lightning's actions up to this point, Bohman accepts. With the last of his strength, Lightning reaches out to Bohman, who then assimilates Lightning within himself.

* TheUnfettered: Zigzagged. Revolver is initially unfazed by Lightning's attempts to invoke a SadisticChoice on him after revealing that Spectre, too, will have his consciousness data completely erased should Revolver deliver the final blow to win him the Duel. However, Playmaker dissuades him from going through with the attack so as to not just create more Lost Incident victims, but also because he'll go back to the way he was during the events of the Tower of Hanoi incident. Ultimately, Revolver restrains himself and instead sets a single card to end his turn.

Revolver, however, has none of it and proceeds to counterattack his opponent without mercy.
