I don't recall the exact details of the Mahabharata all that well, but somehow I'm pretty sure Arjuna didn't lose the big showdown. Actually, he was pretty much the MVP for the Pandavas' victory, if my weak memory serves me right. The guy was a phenomenal warrior and archer, taking down a bunch of heavy hitters left and right. Sure, he had that classic moral dilemma heating up his mind, but in the end, he just did what he was meant to do — no fuss, no drama.
