Very risky, but not a bad plan to have Joe fight gearless. Attracts a lot of attention and admiration from the public and makes potential opponents underestimate him and therefore more likely to accept fighting him. However, won't the public feel cheated if he shows up with a gear for the actual tournament? I mean, he's not going to spend the whole anime gearless. That was just a plan to enable him to rank high enough to qualify in time. No matter how gifted he is, I doubt he stands a chance against Yuri without a gear and only three months of training.
