Y-yes. [He's a little embarrassed by that mess-up, but he's bound to make mistakes when he's just learning how to wield Yuugi so he's glad that Yuugi doesn't seem to fazed by it.
He pulls the edge of the blade from the dummy, and then tries again, this time getting the tip slicing perfectly across the throat. His grin returns and he finishes the move with a spin and then a downward slice against the dummy's legs. This time he purposefully hits the leg squarely, pulling the hit's strength only slightly because he doesn't want to actually damage the dummy and he also doesn't want to be slamming Yuugi into everything at full strength.]
it's actually canon for him to never make a mistake twice
