The New Hero is a Zero?

Yeah, you heard me right, folks. He's a Grade A amateur in Duel Monsters, he can't duel to save his life, or the world for that matter because that's usually what these heroes wind up doing, he's the number one bad boy at his school, whatever that be interpreted as, and when he first meets this Astral spirit, he refuses to listen to his request for help. He's Yuma Tsukumo, and he's made his official debut in the newest Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, which aired its first episode in Japan today. But unlike Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei, this guy is just more of an immature kid than any of them. And even though it's assumed that a new series was aiming for something totally different, it shouldn't have to be like this! I mean, why does Yuma suck at dueling anyway? His first duel doesn't even resolve by the time the first episode ends for crying out loud! The first three series did that, so tradition is shattered once again. Come on, people, why make our new Duel Monsters so-called hero a stinking amateur who can't duel for jack crap? Dang, this new series is gonna suck...
