@@mako8091 cleaned what up. CLEAN UP HAHAHAH. More like butcher every part of it. The 4kids dub of Yu-gi-oh is trash, ask anyone. Btw this clip was taken out of the fan sub so its an incorrect translation, so why don't ya just sit down and shut up. Watch Yu-Gi-Oh subbed it's 100% better. 4kids turned a show that was aimed at teens in Japan to a show that was aimed at kids. It's butchered and censored af. They turned the guns invisible, that show's how trash it really is.
@@connorclifton45 I'm not going to pretend like 4kids isn't guilty of heavy censorship I'll give you that, but aside from that yeah no. The sub translations aren't that great. Dub vs sub animation. Yeah they cleaned it up a bit.
@@mako8091 you mustn't undertand subs well my friend. Everyone knows when watching an anime that the sub is usually 95% percent better then the dub as it includes the official translations. This is a fan sub so of cause it has mistranslations. Cleaning up XD, you know a dub is more likely to have mistranslations than a subbed version of an anime.
@@gabrielgarcia579 Just look at any recent Yugioh gameplay. Turns take like 10 minutes with two hundred special summons per turn. It's freaking annoying.
@@DarkSymphony777 I get your point but I don't think Kaiba as a anti hero, he does not take the front in order to beat the villains, he does much more for he's selfish reasons. That being said, although he does not confront Atem anymore from this point forward in the series, he still sees himself as the pharaoh's rival, so I think he would fit better as a antagonist than an anti hero.
@@DarkSymphony777 You have a good point. In many non heroic ways he came in contact with the villains, trying to sabe Mokuba from Pegasus (while righteous, he did not care for the others), wanting to fight Marik, just to prove he was the best, fighting Dartz for the sake of his company, as for Siegfried as well and finally fighting Zork because he killed two siblings. While he is righteous in his own way(in some aspects) he does not think for others well being, so to me atleast, he is not an antihero, but an antagonist, but I can agree that he is awesome, trusting yourself, rather than Destiny, believing he can alter it, staying true to his objectives, that's a man to admire, in some respects.
I love how they give Zigfried an extra 300 life points just for the final attack to do the exact amount of damage that Blue eyes has Edit after over three years: I just got a notification and see this comment at over three thousand likes, thank you everyone who gave it a like
It could be dumb luck, like 90% of the anime victories were about, but I'd like to think it's more than that, at least for this particular scene. For starters, Kaiba isn't the kind of duelist to rely on luck/the "heart of the cards". He's always been an amazing strategist, always in sync with his decks and never being put in a situation where he doesn't know what to do. He reveals that he often duels himself (through holograms and his dueling machines) in order to test and improve his numerous strategies, so I guess it's safe to conclude that his achievements are all thanks to his dedication as a duelist. Notice how he makes his declaration of victory the moment he saw the card he drawed. Most likely, at that very moment, he pictured numerous scenarios and came up with many different strategies to deal with that situation, being prepared no matter what he drawed next. What we saw in the video might not even be what he originally planned. It could have simply been a line of action he came up with after studying the field and his hand, and he did so in seconds. His knowledge of his own deck, his ability to improvise and adapt, his talent to create strategies are what made him win that duel. At least, that's what I think.
Deus Gustavo If what he did here wasn't the "Heart of the Cards", I don't know what is. The Heart of the Cards allows you to draw your way to victory from near defeat, which is what Kaiba did here. Heck, he bargained for 4 Spell Cards, but had a hand full of them.
There's always luck involved in this game, that's a fact. But did Kaiba really win that match just because of it? Sure, he made an extremely lucky draw, and the whole statement thing was BS, we all know that. But there was also a strategy involved. He went through all the trouble to banish his powerful monsters, to then invest more than half of his life points to bring them all back and then obliterate a monster that is pretty much the natural enemy of his deck. Rookie players would surely freeze at those 3300 ATK points and be unsure about how to proceed, but Kaiba had the boldness to attack, sacrifice his monster and leave himself with 50 LP just to weaken it. These little things aren't simply lucky plays: They're proof of his skill and talent as a duelist.
I have to be honest, the voice acting alone is pretty epic. Especially when you compare it to, “I activate mind control, with mind control I will be able to control their mind”

That moment when you realize Emerald Dragon and Chaos Emperor were summoned purely so Kaiba could flex and end the duel with Blue-Eyes. EDIT: Since apparently some people still don't understand, I said Kaiba summoned Emerald Dragon and Chaos Emperor so Kaiba could end the duel with Blue-Eyes, but he could've won by calling back his banished X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, or Z-Metal Tank. With just the three Blue-Eyes on the field, Brunhilde would only have 2700 attack points, less than Blue-Eyes. First Blue-Eyes attacks, Valkyrie loses 1k defense to stop destruction, Zigfried drops to 3300 life points. Second Blue-Eyes attacks, Valkyrie's defense drops to 0, Zigfried drops to 3k life. Third Blue-Eyes attacks and destroys Brunhilde, Zigfried drops to 2700 life points, then any combo of X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, or Z-Metal Tank attacks directly to deal enough damage to end the duel. Like I said, he summoned Emerald Dragon and Chaos Emperor PURELY so he could end the duel with Blue-Eyes.
@@pidgeyottot3527 I meant it was a flex because he could've summoned X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, or Z-Metal Tank in place of Chaos Emperor and Emerald Dragon and ended the duel by attacking with them after Brunhilde was destroyed by his 3 Blue-Eyes' attacks.
He actually needed Chaos King Dragon to sacrifice itself to cut Valkyrie Brunhilde’s defense to open the door for the three Blue Eyes White Dragons to destroy the last 1000 defense points, destroy Brunhilde herself, and deliver a lethal direct “Burst Stream of Destruction” attack. HORIBI no BASUTO SUTORIMU!!
Not really. With only 3 dragons out, Brunhilde would only have 2700 attack. First Blue-Eyes attacks, Valkyrie loses 1k defense to stop destruction, Zigfried drops to 3300 life points. Second Blue-Eyes attacks, Valkyrie's defense drops to 0, Zigfried drops to 3k life. Third Blue-Eyes attacks and destroys Brunhilde, Zigfried drops to 2700 life points, then any combo of X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head, or Z-Metal Tank attacks directly to deal enough damage to end the duel. Like I said, he summoned Emerald Dragon and Chaos Emperor PURELY so he could end the duel with Blue-Eyes.
@@firewolf950tfwgaming7 I believe that Kaiba was required to summon as many monsters as he could from the ones that were removed from play. Thus, five dragons.
@@firewolf950tfwgaming7 He needed all 5 I'm pretty sure. One to lower Valks atk, the second to tie and force the block effect, the third to use the last block, the fourth to destroy the monster and the fifth to finish the duel.
Dylan Reasor yes but A. He could have banished another non dragon type monster to fit the requirements of 5 monsters and B if he had only 4 Valk’s ATK would be only 3000 still allowing for the same combo Kaiba did subtracted the first attack as Zeigfried would have no need for it as it doesn’t result in his monster’s attack to be destroyed.
@@konrad8541i might get whooshed for this bcs i haven't watched abridged yugioh, but Ziegfried did use pof of greed(pot of strong desire according to the messy sub) before this part to resurrect Walkuran Hilton.
@@ledah1363 Actually it's really normal to know which card left in the deck when there is half of the deck in the cementery, so he did a gamble and that works, the gamble rely on the card "newborn magic" because without that all should go to hell.
To be fair to Kaiba enough time passed between the scene you describe and Kaiba duelling Siegfried that its possible that by the time Kaiba duels Siegfried its possible that he believes in The Heart of The Cards but no one has realized
Ok so in Japanese there is a word for blue a word for green and a shared word that is used for describing things based on context like "blue sky" or "green grass" and to a novice Japanese speaker may sound like someone just said the grass was blue
RytimusPrimeReviews Oh, well, my host family just told me it's just a weird culture thing. Lol my host brother was like "it's stupid.", but you might very well be right. Haha
It’s because it was translated to Chinese where green was the correct character then translated from Chinese to English and thus getting the wrong word
MyWaifuIsMine No the subtitles were translated to from kanji (Japanese) to Chinese characters. The character for blue in Japanese is the same character for green in Chinese. So when the subtitles were translated to English it said green instead of blue
Depends if you are talking about show or the movies cos his battle with Diva just tops it off... man don't care about living or his brother or his company no. He goes into boss mode because he absolutely must face the pharaoh again. Like he didn't even care about Diva he's just like I must win to face the pharaoh, meanwhile Diva has a face like Alain right before mega charizard x is about to take a giant gold shuriken to the face
What's pretty awesome in this scene, is that Kaiba specifically called out 4 cards. In some Asian cultures, the number 4 is closely related to death due to the similar pronunciation of them. So Kaiba's prediction was literally death for Siegfreid.
Fang of Critias - the theme played in this scene - is one of Yugi's signature track for when reverses fortunes or initiates a counter-attack. With Kaiba on screen, I think it was only used outside of duels (like when he crashlanded a plane after duelling Amelda in Season 4 of Duel Monsters). It's my favourite track and it comes with this "heart of cards" vibe. Absolutely love it that Kaiba gets his proper moment with passionate duelist! He grew as a character throughout the series
@@harciongaming9122 I think he only has like 9 cards left. The new Valkyries make sense since there were 8 other Valkyries in Wagner's opera cycle besides the protagonist Brunhilde. Though I don't really get the new named (instead of numbered) Valkyrie as that named character did appear in Wagner's opera but as a mother Goddess and not one of the Valkeries. I believe she was the mother of the Norns (the Goddess spell cards), in fact one of Ziegfried's unreleased cards is a Goddess spell with her name. I expect we end up getting a tie-in monster named 'Siegfried', hero of Wagner's opera with artwork that resembles Ziegfried since he was named after that character.
Oh the Hong Kong subs, the worst kind of subtitles created ever. The good thing is now we have better subs and we can laugh at this instead of suffering for trying to understand wth is going on.
A long time ago, when the internet was limited, and Japan didn't have good quality subs, they were outsourced to Hong Kong, and translated from Japanese to Chinese, and then to English.
I can see how this happened though lol. In an Asian expression, usually used by old timers without seperating the meaning, there is a word that can mean both blue and green. Like, it can be used to indicate the 'fresh' blue sky or the 'lush' green grass (you get the point). Basically lost in traslation stuff because the one who traslated probably didn't really watched the show.
Kaiba just said, fuck it Yugi I'll do your job for you because this guy annoys me. And then did it while a large crowd including the main group watched.
@@DaemonRayge Siegfried is the big bad of that arc, his brother is the final duel but he wasn't a bad person Is Siegfried who manipulate things from behind.
I always enjoyed the look of surprise and confusion on the opponent's face when the card with x number of points is hit with an attack with the same or greater number of points
This is one of Kaiba's best scenes, and maybe his best fight, but his true best scene is when he's telling Pink hair Boi he will always be a failure in life, and everyone's like "Damn that was brutal, but Kaiba's right." It's when Yugi is vsing the younger brother and they discovered Pink Hair Boi cheated for him.
It is in fact absolutely, completely insane how Kaiba calculated his move so that he would have exactly 50 Life Points left and his opponent would loose the exact amount of life points which he actually had. I guess Kaiba must be the Magnus Carlsen of YU GI OH! ^_^
Some people do count, while some others are just winging it. Some very good players count all those stuffs up before hand (during their opponent’s turn), even before they get all the cards in their hands, since decks today are very consistent. It’s risky, yes, but hey, no pain, no gain.
@@OffTheRailGaming no, I don’t mean card counting like they do in poker, what I meant was, what I meant was counting the atk and cost numbers in their head. I’m sorry for any confusion 😅 my bad
It is pretty epic to draw one card, declare he'll cast 4 spells, and gain the exact amount of life he needs to use the spell he needs, leaving just enough leftover to finish Siegfried off.
It's hard to predict what LK will do, but I imagine one option would be Kaiba playing this turn relatively straight, but as the scene goes on, he replaces certain words with dragon, so it devolves into "I attack your dragon with my dragon and lower your dragon by dragon points, now dragon, dragon blast his dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon dragon I WIN!"
@@citrusorange794 "Yes, but under these circumstances it's perfectly within the rules" "Wait, but that means-" "That's right, Zigfried, screw YOU, I have the rules"
@Géza Zsigmond Yeah pretty hard to mess that up. But if the translator was native Japanese translating to English then that's how it could of happened. (Translating the English word "blue" into their Japanese word that means both blue and green, then back into English as "green". Just a guess.)
We apologise for the fault in the subtitles . Those responsible have been eaten by the Green-Eyes Colorblind Dragon. Also, some of us have these things called "ears." We can hear Kaiba saying "Blue-Eyes White Dragon." In English. His Japanese accent isn't remotely enough to make "blue" sound like "green."
In Japanese, it is common for blue to be mistranslated as green since at one point in their history the 2 colors were considered one and the same, buuut Kaiba clearly said "blue", so yeah the subber was deaf or somethin'🤷♂️😂
This scene was even better when you think Kaiba might actually lose like he usually does to every season’s main antagonist. Then, nope, he goes ahead and proves why he’s the 2nd top duelist ever.
Yeah it really is and it actually fits seeing as how in both scenes the protagonist (yeah I know, but I see Kaiba as a protagonist after Season 1) mops the floor with the antagonist, just a pity that the track didn't play for the whole scene because that would be sweet
No the valkyrie thing's stats dropped not life points. Cuz I guess it gets atk based on opponents field so when luster dragon died it dropped, then dropped again when CED died
So what, I have pink eyed purple dragon. I'm infesting your monster with pink eyes now. Go now pink eyes dragon, mesmerizing him with your pink light, may he be gay for the rest of his life. Bwahahahahaha!!!!
I know everyone is talking about “Green Eyes White Dragon” but can we talk about how he said “from my DECK” when he clearly activated cards from his hand?
I hate when they make a big deal of the character having 1 card in hand like they're gonna have to make a play with limited resources but actually they just topdeck more draw power; Yugi vs Noah is another offender.
@@MobiusLeader007 I draw! I special summon Elemental Hero Bubbleman! This lets me draw two more cards! *topdecks poly/miracle and the perfect hero needed for this exact situation*
I like how one of the very best duelists in the entire world somehow didn't realize that Kaiba obviously had lethal on the board after summoning those dragons. At the very least after he sacrificed one it should have been instantly obvious that he would win by attacking with the rest.
The real king of games doesn't need magic to win! EDIT: in canon, Kaiba hasn't cheated since duelist kingdom, when he was fighting to get his brother back. And since the rules are often very different in the show from the card game, to say he pulls rules out of various orifices would be like saying that to someone playing poker when you're playing Pokemon; different game, different rules. Were Kaiba to play with our rules, he'd also be playing against other people who use them, meaning every case where Yami and other duelists have bullshat Kaiba would be null and void, i.e. Kaiba would still be a world champion duelist.
Consider also that Duelist Kingdom has a very different ruleset from anything that came after, which allowed Eliminators like Para and Dox, and Panic to exist, and don't even get me started on Pegasus's Millenium Eye. Granted, exceptions could have been written in just for them, but this gives the impression (along with all of Yugi's shenanigans) that there effectively *were no rules* in Duelist Kingdom and it's therefore impossible to cheat.
95% of the comments are just talking about green eyes white dragon 😂 But this scene really shows how smart kaiba is. I feel like they ignored how smart he was in the first couple of seasons. They just sort of said he built a couple of machines off screen-and that’s about it.
You're forgetting he's the only person smart enough to use Card of Demise, which has an effect so convoluted and context dependant that I think it has never had quote the same effect twice.
@@InkubozuNikki blues white dragon vs dark magician 2 dark magician to 1 for blues and really it should be 3 to 0 as Kaiba only wins cause he threatened to jump off the side of the castle if yugi didn't let him win so. Blues a little overrated haha
Ah yes. My favorite cards Death Badge Chaos King Dragon (this one’s actually pretty cool) Sub-Fusion Green Gem Dragon Walkuran Hilton Green Eyes White Dragon (destroy the firing shot?)
Ok so what are the cards in the real game? Death Badge I’m assuming is Card Of Demise Chaos King Dragon is Chaos Emperor Dragon, Envoy of the End Sub Fusion is Return from the Different Dimension Green Gem Dragon is Luster Dragon I’m assuming? Not sure of that one Not sure of Walkuran Hilton Wonder what Green Eyes White Dragon is?
@@thunderfirex335 Luster Dragon #2 TCG, Emerald Dragon OCG are Green Gem Dragon. Walkuran Hilton is Valkyrie Brunhilde Green Eyes White Dragon is Pot of Greed the monster. Too bad nobody knows what it does.
I love Kaiba duels because they never rely on the heart of the cards. Kaiba is just a amazing strategist, obv is a show so Kaiba was meant to win but I love how the show displays Kaibas strategies since the beginning of the duel up to the end. Kaiba never relies on one single draw, he always has a plan. He never even faced a deck like zigs previously but still had a way to counter (although in this case barely won, but a win nonetheless)
Narosan Aziz It’s even more confusing when you realize that, if you listen closely, Kaiba is clearly saying *Blue* Eyes White Dragon, leaving us to wonder how the subtitles could’ve gotten that part so blatantly wrong.
So... what does Card of Demise actually do? It seems to behave differently every time it gets played. Does it have some crazy technical rules about what it does and when?
@@aprinnyonbreak1290 It always draws until you have six cards in hand in the anime. Then you discard your hand on the fifth standby phase after activation. As you can see, not a drawback at all. IRL it only draws until you have 3 in hand, you cant deal damage afterwards, you cant special summon the same turn and you discard your entire hand at the end of the turn.
This probably served as an inspiration for pendulum and link monsters. Someone doing a 5 minute move and the other waiting for him and bored out of his mind...
