In this episode of Yu-Gi-Oh, Yugi sends Seto to the unalive realm where Seto faces his toughest foe yet, two punctured lungs! Second channel @Solidusjj Patreon: / solidjj
Fun fact, in the original dub, Kaiba explicitly threatens to kill himself. There was no shockwave or anything like that that would make him fall, Kaiba just straight up said he’d jump if he lost the duel.
@@WeirdWonderful That's completely different, in this version it's like it's Yugi's fault et Kaiba is seen as whiny bitch, in the original he's a man with a resolve so strong he's willing to kill himself to keep moving forward, makes for a less petty antagonist.
@@murlocaggrob2192 I mean you have to overpower 1. Self preservation, 2. Dignity, 3. Protection of family instinct cause Mokuba doesn’t survive if Seto dies, 4. His massive ego. 5. Logic and reason. 6. Empathy. 7. Sportsmanship. 8. Honesty. 9. Respect for the law. That’s nine things I can think of he has to outwill to be that petty and stupid.
According to another commenter, in the original dub, Kaiba actually threatened to jump if he lost the game, absolving Yami/Yugi of the moral guilt as well. All this money, and Kaiba still can't afford to grow up.
Fun Fact! In Kaiba's original manga debut, he was known for literally assaulting people with thugs and stuff to get rare cards. He found out Sugoroku Mutou (Solomon Moto, Yugi's grandpa) owned a Blue-Eyes White Dragon and after being turned away from it, later scammed it out of Yugi by asking to see it and swapping it with a counterfeit. Yugi noticed and when he confronted Kaiba after school, he fucking smacked Yugi upside the head with his metal briefcase. Naturally, Yami came out later and tricked him into a Shadow Game, as he was wont to do pre-Duelist Kingdom. In this shadow game, monsters played would come to life from the card. Eventually, Kaiba lost and Yami inflicted a Penalty Game on him, forcing him into the waking hell of having his soul tossed into an illusory world inhabited by Duel Monsters (a concept that would later be revisited for the Duel Monsters spirit world) to die over and over at the monsters' hands. Here's the thing. *He got out.* After getting out he acquired the other 3 Blue-Eyes cards in existence, by bankrupting 2 owners and driving the third to suicide. He then kidnapped Sugoroku and forced Yugi and co. to go through Death-T, *a literal death trap for which he hired professional hitmen, a torturer, AND A LITERAL SERIAL KILLER* in order to save him. At the end, Yami once again dueled Kaiba, who had taken his traumatizing nightmare experience and created holographic duel monsters to _simulate it._ In the end, Yami performed a new penalty game, Mind Crush, on Kaiba in order to literally force him to be a better person, lest he be trapped in a coma forever. And he _still_ came out of it an asshole. Not a murderous asshole, sure, but still an asshole. Nobody can stop this lunatic. A cliff won't stop him. DEATH CANNOT STOP THIS FUCKING MADMAN.
How much of an asshole, you might ask? During the Marik ark, he saved Jono from drowning by throwing him the key that opened the chains binding Jonouchi... *AFTER* deliberately waiting for Jonouchi to be almost out of air.
@@EverRusting no his body have 2 consciences. Yugi, the original one, and the pharaon who is inside of his collar. When they start a duel the pharaon "possess" the body
@@Rainok Well, the one saying that isn't Yugi, it's Atem. Atem's a pharaoh spirit that got trapped in Yugi's body when the latter finished a Millenium Puzzle his grandpa gave to him.
@@Rainok theres also a degree of reincarnation with them, shown shown by a now older (without atem) Yugi giving Jaden Winged Kuriboh. Along with Yugi's grandpa and Kaiba. It's not a 1:1 time loop thing though. Yeah it's as strange as it sounds
It really was, especially since just plain dying didn't actually make sense when it came to soul stealing and some characters coming back even though they obviously couldn't if they were just dead.
It's so fucking ominous that throughout this entire exchange, there isn't any background music, but just the sound of cold wind blowing as Kaiba came to the realization of how readied Yugi was to murder him in cold-blood.
The best part of all this. Yugi never once lied. He wasn't considering killing Kaiba. He was going to do it. Yugi was just more baffled as to how easy Kaiba was going to make it.
"oh i was planning to kill you as soon as i knew you were alone on this island, brought a shovel and everything but if your just going to hand it to me who am i to look a gift tatsunootoshigo in the mouth"
Kaiba: "Wait so me leaving your grandfather for dead and giving billions of dollars to the man that stole your grandfather's soul justifies you killing me?" Yami and Yugi: "In every conceivable way."
He can't step back until the chain resolves. Kaiba may skirt the law and common decency, but he's not about to break the rules in a children's trading card game
Kaiba’s a lot of things, but he’s not a cheater, he knows once you change positions during a turn, you’re not allowed to change positions again until the NEXT turn. Really, his hands were tied
Something to note is that Yugi's friends are all right there. They're listening to this whole exchange and aren't saying anything. They know what's going to happen and they're keeping quiet. That's some ride or die right there.
look in the manga he put all of them through an amusement park of death (not even joking. One leg involved a horror coaster where if you made ANY noise a mic would pic it up & electric chair your ass). I'm pretty sure they were ALL out of fucks to give
My brain at first: "Wait, dueling is normal in this universe. A murder investigation would absolutely conclude that Kaiba likely fell from the impact of a duel." My brain a second later: "You forget that this duel ISN'T normal and the duel disks are still _Kaiba's_ prototypes at this stage in the story. Normal dueling is done on huge stadium things. The cops would be at a loss. Moreover, Pegasus owns the island (an island near the US owned by an American citizen and, therefore, out of Japan's jurisdiction BTW) and he surely has an incentive to cover up the death of a wealthy businessman _he_ lured to the island in the first place, ESPECIALLY if it's a known business partner. Yugi would have gotten off scot-free if he'd done this"
I like how Yugi, who is suppose to be the soft-spoken main protag is telling his darker half to get a stronger card. Great character development if you ask me
'Did we shake hands and be friends?' Howling at that because it's basically the point Kaiba realises that contrary to what he's being told, Yami _is_ considering killing him so tries to save himself 🤣
I like the little detail of how when Yami first started laying out what all Kaiba did he referred to Sugoroku / Solomon as Yugi's grandfather, but as he got more and more pissed about the situation he started referring to him as HIS grandfather. Shows how much Yami cares about Yugi and his grandfather.
Ya think part of it might be that the pharaoh was likely a child king (not uncommon in ancient Egypt) and likely never had proper parenting? Like, sure, he'll never admit it outright, but yugi's grandpa is probably closest thing he's had to a father figure in his entire existence. Just imagine the combined anger of a hurt child mixed with the devine wrath of an ancient king. kaiba fucked up.
At that point in the story, he didn't know he was a Pharaoh, he didn't knew who he was exactly, and he only started to question it post-Duelist Kingdom. For all he knew, he was Yugi, because those were his only memories.
Nah at this point and most of his early appearances he legit thought he WAS yugi himself and had yugi's memories so to him yugi's grandpa was his grandpa
I just love the idea of the angel and devil on the shoulder talking to the protagonist, but the angel in this case is like “no no, don’t do it with that… use this instead it’s much cleaner!”
“That’s it, she’s going down.” “No, no. From above, the wicked shall receive their just reward.” *both see a spiked chandelier at the same time* “That’ll work.”
Maybe it was designed for military applications originally, but the army was like "why we would we ever buy a helicopter or weapon shaped like a dragon from a children's card game...?"
@@Evilshadow529 but still he never killed, and most of the punishment where illusion created inside of mind(mind crush). And besides the guy who puts on fire was a serial killer. Edit: Alright, alright, I see now that the anime censored many things from the manga, my bad.
@@alextrifan5662 season 0 Yugi in the anime and manga are ruthless. With all that said done to his grandfather, even that would push him that far. Plus, wasn't he messing souls in his games in season 0? 🤔
"And you know, Kaiba, the technology to summon these monsters and cause gusts of wind was created by you. So if you think about it, you created the instrument of your own doom. Would a court of law see that as suicide? Maybe not on it's own, but given your current position atop the ledge, let's say it's possible."
2:06 To be fair to Yugi, Kaiba was also trying to murder his entire friend-group in death games, with one of them seemingly dead, crushed by falling cubes, at the beginning of the duel. The gramps is basically just the start of the reasons Kaiba got his mind fucked with.
@@ugochukwunyere3196 if you're asking about when the death games happened, manga version of the arc of him stealing the blue eyes. The duel in that first episode? Yeah that was the climax of a WHOLE FUCKING ARC in the manga.
For people that only watched the 4Kids dub and never saw Season 0 or read the manga, this is actually an accurate representation of Atem at this point. Homie was very angry vigilante justice kind of thing. Killing people, sending them to never ending mental torment, and all that nonsense. This duel is the one where Yugi and Atem had basically their first big argument and their characters start to develop. Atem learns to be more caring/sympathetic, and Yugi started to learn to stand up for himself and stuff like that. One of the top comments by Zekeram on this video also talk about how fucking insane Kaiba was as well.
@@Miatpi Pharoah calls for the attack, Yugi forces a swap and calls it off at the last second. Yugi spends the next episode or two terrified to duel, in fear of the Pharoah's bloodlust.
@@SpecialInterestShow The ending 2 seconds is a scene of Kirby flying off a cliff, with Kaiba poorly edited on top of him. You can still see Kirby, actually because of it.
God, even more horrifying though. "Did we shake hands and be friends?" Kaiba is still suffering the brain crush effects... and more than that, Yami is h a p p i l y reminding him, of what he is capable of..
Fun fact: If I remember correctly, *He* (Atem) Can *PROBABLY* Control the Probability because of his relic, Meaning two things; First, He *Can* and *Will* Send his enemy to the shadow realm because he can control (?) the Probability of him getting an strong card; Second, If it wasn't for Yugi, Atem Would be Glady to Do it on Both manga and Anime meaning that He can And WILL kill someone on cold blood
@@LuanaMiniZAtem is just real goal oriented. Got to kill someone to save Yugi's grandfather? Oh well, shame, but he was a pharoh once, so sacrifice of life is not new.
Or sees him as his actual grandfather we don’t know much about his family except for his dad even then we don’t see the face of and even then he didn’t remember his dad till like way later in his story and technically he is also his grandfather due to some weird reincarnation thing idk because well yugi looks just like the pharaoh kaiba looks like seto only people we know who haven’t reincarnated was the ones who became duel spirits aka Seto’s girlfriend and mahaad which honestly kinda wish she was a character in the main story it gives kaiba a reason to act so tough along with protecting his brother
@@levievil9220 Also his own father wasn't really there for him growing up while Yugi's grandpa is the best father figure in the series (not a high bar but still), so he might be projecting.
@@levievil9220 Sorta, tho the Items weren't directly the cause of Akhenamkhanen's death nor was Akhenaden. What happened was: Mahad, who held possession of the *Millennium Ring* and so saw thru the Ring how those of Kul Elna had been sacrificed to create the MI, informed Atem's father Akhenamkhanen of the truth behind the Millennium Items' creation, and the sheer anxiety and guilt all but caused the pharaoh to drop dead sometime later I'm not joking xD.
In the manga he not only mugged/kidnapped his grandpa but he put them through a SAW styled tower of death, with assassin’s and a deranged cereal killer, so yeah this checks out
Y'know it's weird how in the Manga, Kaiba considered having Mokuba poison Yugi, and having him kidnapped by a serial killer. But he himself said he wouldn't have Joey and Yugi fight to the death. Did Kaiba really evaluate how messed up he was before all of that?
I mean, I love breakfast and all but I wouldn't really have a nervous breakdown nor extreme fear for my life if someone killed my cereal bowl... apart from that, how exactly do you do that? You get it all soggy with water or wut
In Japanese canon, Atem was willing to do it the whole time, because he never likes losing. Yugi on the other hand was crying afterwards not solely because he lost a children's card game, but because his other "me" was gonna do it.
I believe that was in the dub as well? Started a whole mini-arc where Yugi was too afraid to hand control over to Atem again which caused him and Atem to actually start talking with each other like separate people, instead of just merging entirely like they've been doing up to this point.
It wasn't for such a petty reason, he was willing to do it because otherwise he would lose Duelist Kingdom, and thus both his grandpa's soul and Joey's prize money. But the other Yugi stepped in and stopped him, because "it's the right thing to do", he showed kindness to his enemy, something that Atem would learn from him.
@@seasnaill2589 That was also something the dub really changed. In the original, Yugi is Yugi and Atem is Atem (no Yugi using Atem's body but not using his mind, or whatever that was). The problem was that Atem is so frightened of losing that he felt so pressured by Pegasus that he only had eye for Pegasus, and this pressure caused him to make mistakes in his duel against Mai. Then later, Mai talks about a duelist's courage, that you can't have that unless you're prepared to lose and get hurt, which is tested when a duelist is about to lose. This then makes Atem flash back to the situation with Kaiba, where he realizes that the thought of losing frightened him to the point he was willing to take Kaiba's life, while Yugi on the other hand chose to put himself between Kaiba and Atem to take the loss and suffering rather than take Kaiba's life. Atem then fully realizes he has weaknesses while Yugi has strengths that compensate his weaknesses, something he subconsciously already knew but didn't want to admit to himself before. It's then at that point he takes on Yugi's strength of a duelist's courage, not only alleviating the pressure he felt from Pegasus but also feeling courageous enough to take a very risky bluff vs Mai that eventually leads to his win.
The kids in the early 2000's really had a big surprise when the first tome got released and there was no Card game but a Pharaoh torturing/killing peoples :'D
@@pitioti can only blame him half the time. He set clear rules and their cheating sealed their faith. Then again it much like jigsaw set up a trape cause you know the person going to do something stupid doesnt doesn't make you any less responsible for them dieing. Or worse with yami.
"I found out he's a business partner of yours, Kaiba!" "Yugi, he took my brother's soul, too! This ledge bit was a bluff! I have to save him!" "..." "...please?" "SUMMONED SKULL!"
I love how explaining to Yugi their goals align never once crosses Kaibas mind even when he is already seeing the error of his thought process. True to character lol
Yep, Kaiba even has an argument for why the current situation has little to do with him. Explain that Pegasus betrayed him, that despite past actions he had no part of Pegasus's planning and their connection was just actually legitimate business. That's he's just desperate to save Mokuba. I doubt it would help but he could try an argument that's even honest
@@toawing The only reason that Pegasus is doing any of this is that Kaiba corp's stock price plummeted when Yami sent him into a coma. So, this situation is partially Yami's fault.
@@Sewblon And he only ended up in a coma because he kidnapped Solomon, forced him to duel while having a heart attack, then ripped up his prized card given to him by a man who he nearly died with. It all comes back to Kaiba being an ass.
Love how that's the pharaoh talking when he says "I didn't like that very much Kaiba." Meaning the pharaoh cares about Yugi so much he's willing to kill the man who hurt Yugi
I love how Yugi Moto comes out and stop the pharaohs like don't do things by half measures use the monster strong enough to not only send him to the shadow realm but make it hurt in the process
He did, but Kaiba didn't trust Yugi to save Mokuba for him. If Kaiba lost that duel, then he wouldn't be allowed to challenge Pegasus, which was the deal they made to free Mokuba. So, to Kaiba at that point, losing the duel would be equivalent to dying anyways, since his only reason to live then was Mokuba. For context, Kaiba's been in a coma for 6+ months and only got out of it because he wanted to save Mokuba.
@@marchmelloow we aren’t talking about the anime, we’re talking about the solidjj video. Where kaiba was going to step off the ledge back to safety because he realized Yami was actually ready to kill him.
@@willowthompson9220 Pharoh: "Oh your brother, the one who tried to kill me in a capsual monster battle by cheating, or the brother who stole my chips after losing, then sent me to fight a guy with a flame thrower? Is that the brother I should give a Flounder too???"
This gets better. In the manga before the anime starts, he actually both did not care about his brother being trapped in what is basically a cage full of Scarecrow's fear toxin, all cause he lost to Yugi, but also invited Yugi and co. to a game, gave them non working guns so they couldn't actually beat anyone and gave their opponents ACTUAL GUNS with LIVE AMMUNITION, with the intent of offing Yugi AND all his friends, in cold blood.
Kaiba went out easy I say, yes he did received a penalty that got him fainted for a year, but let's be real, he should have killed Kaiba, and the sole reason I think he didn't was because Mokuba told him about his past.
In the original Japnese version and Manga, the attack wasn't what was going to make Kaiba fall off the tower. He fully intended to jump off himself if he lost.
To be absolutely fair to Kaiba, the only reason he joined the games in the first place was to get his little brother's soul back. He felt there was no point of living if he didn't make it to the finals (at least, that's how I interpreted it) because he would never see Mokuba again. It's kinda heartwarming in a twisted way.
Kaiba: “If you attack me, a person you have ample reason to hate, Yugi, and win this duel, with which I am obstructing you from getting your grandfather’s soul back, you’ll kill me!” Yami: “Curses! I guess I have no choice but to-nah, just kidding. Sic ‘em, Celtic!”
@@LordTyph Koiba: OKAY TIME OUT! Yugi: What?! Koiba: Time out! That clearly didnt work! I am doing this to save my brother from pegasus too okay?! Yugi: Oh...... That..... Kinda changes things a little but.... Instead of facing me, why didnt you just tell me and join forces with me and beat the hell of pegasus?! Koiba: Because I am an egomaniacal asshole who does not take orders from anyone. Yugi: Does that include Pegasus?! Cause you are doing exactly what he wants! Koiba:........ SHUT UP!
@@UchihaFabio Yugi: "And if you can't beat me even once Kaiba, what chances do you have against Pegasus? You're better off fighting Joey at this point seeing his cards are nothing but gambling nonsense. Joey: "You didn't have go there, Yugi. Nyehh."
I mean, let's not forget the original yugioh manga was meant to be a "girl from nowhere" esque horror manga. Yugi just got really addicted to 1 card game and calmed his bloodlust a bit.
I'd love to see the alternate universe version of Yu-Gi-Oh that stayed as a horror manga and what anime would have spawned from that. Probably not nearly as much content but it would be fire based on the early manga and season 0 of the anime.
@@morgantodd3748 from what I gathered. No. The pharaoh was supposed to be a master of games and each game would ve a risk toward his opponent and himself. From Russian Roulette, to the game of knives and poker
@@morgantodd3748 Nope, the manga was originally about the Pharoah taking vengeance on anyone who fucked with Yugi or his friends by putting them through games with Saw-like stakes. Kaiba and the game that would evolve into Duel Monsters were originally a villain/game of the week, until audience interest in seeing the game fleshed out lead to it taking over about half the manga.
This entire skit just made me miss Little Kuriboh's abridged series. I don't think he's dead or anything, I hope, but I haven't gotten anything of his recommended in a looong time. Think I'll head to his channel and check if there's anything new. Thanks for the nostalgia, JJ.
@@valutaatoaofunknownelement197 Yeah, I just checked. Last upload was 4 months ago on his main channel, but hey, I'm all for RU-vidrs taking the time to produce worthwhile, satisfying content rather than trying to pump out stuff every day regardless of quality. I'm not certain if I remember correctly, but if I do recall correctly he also had depression or something similar. In any case, him still being able to entertain and provide after so many years is admirable. I'll gladly wait for the next episode. JonTron got me used to long breaks inbetween uploads. 👍
The funny thing is that in the manga kiba did MUCH worse. It was a series of games called "Death-T" in which yugi had to survive 5 death games, which included a food based Russian roulette game and and a room where there would be countless boxes rainning down to crush them. It was even implied at the time that Tristan died to that room.
@Bubs well the anime i believe only shows the duel monsters battle between kiba and yugi. If they did show it in season 0 i dont think itd be in anything but the original. Nothing redubbed in america
"so Kaiba, what you're telling me is that you, the person who is 100% ready to ruin my life and disgrace my corpse and responsible for 90% of all my problems, are willingly putting yourself in a position where I can easily murder you and get away with it? I didn't think you even knew what generosity was! "
It wasn't even for that reason. He needed to save his Grandpa that, as said in the video, got his fucking soul stolen. In his mind, if he doesn't beat Kaiba here, he can't get into the castle, can't duel Pegasus, can't save Grandpa.
This is why people tend to prepare a parachute or something to catch them as a security measure for the "falling to your death" bluff not working as intended, Kaiba!
Flashback to Season 0 Pharaoh who just went around putting thieves, armed robbers, and bullies into unwinnable shadow games and immediately banishing or torturing them till their minds literally broke. Like the guy he 'set on fire' and made him feel like he was constantly on fire even if it was just in his mind.
I like how a lot of people were surprised to see in the original that Yami almost didn't hesitate at all to kill Kaiba in that scene If we consider the first few manga volumes, that wouldn't even be in the top 5 worst things he's done
It's interesting how the 4Kids dub changes it to the blast from the attack will knock Kaiba off of the ledge, which makes Yami consider murdering Kaiba. However, the original having Kaiba threaten to jump makes Yami not as bad. But apparently having the antagonist threaten suicide is worse than having the antagonist say that "if you attack you'll kill me," which is still basically threatening suicide but also blaming the other person for it. At least in the original, Yami attacking comes off less cold blooded because it could simply be calling Kaiba's bluff and if Kaiba isn't bluffing Yami still wouldn't be responsible although Yugi probably would have held Yami responsible if Kaiba decided to jump after losing.
@@Peelster1 What is funnier is that in the dub, when Kaiba said that him being blown off the edge could 'hurt him' and Yami wouldn't want that, Yami's responses was "Don't tempt me!".
@@Peelster1 well even if the wind wouldn't knock him off, knowing how much Kaiba needs to win and how much he loses if he doesn't, there's no way in hell he's bluffing. Now, whether he would have the strength to follow his threat is another story, but everyone could tell he didn't bluff in the slightest, so I'd say Yami is just as responsible in both cases And again, in his manga debuts he's such a psycho he wouldn't hesitate for one second to beat Kaiba and then say"what are you waiting for? Jump" and punish him if he doesn't
He did hesitated a bit, but ultimately thought about losing the duel would mean his grandpa would be trapped forever, thus he was willing to finish off Kaiba. Before Duelist Kingdom, alright, Yami Yugi did scared the crap out of many enemies with the penalties, but he only killed one, a serial killer that got him at gun-point and then would kill his friends, totally justified.
@@Dexuz how many people did he kill doesn't change how many people he could have killed in a heartbeat. The fact that he was ready to kill Mokuba by poison speaks volumes about how Yami doesn't have the slightest remorse about going dirty
"Gee I hope Yugi is one of those anime good guys that values life over all things." -Yami, from an era where you cut the throats of your apprentices to do cool things in a summoning game-
Kaiba: "I mean, you're like the hero of this situation! You'd actually kill me in cold blood?" Yami Yugi: "Kaiba, I once set a guy on fire back in the pre-card game series. And it wasn't some spur of the moment thing either. I tricked him into a situation where he had no choice but to allow himself to be set on fire. Don't tempt me Kaiba."
@@cosmo1136 Indeed! Guy had it coming! For me it's mostly just thinking how most other shounen protags would settle it by knocking the guy out or something. But early series Yami Yugi did not f*** around!
They always seemed to forget that Yami was a pharaoh, the leader of a nation during a period in time where wars were frequent and bloody, especially wars involving people who could control monsters like yami. “Kaiba, one more rotten soul on the mountain of bodies that form my throne in the afterlife is nothing to me. Good bye kaiba. I wonder how Anubis will judge you, you sniveling coward.”
Kaiba: If you want to win, you are going to have to kill me! Yugi: Kaiba, we interacted twice so far and one of those interactions was you kidnapping my grandfather, sending him to the hospital, taking his most precious card and rip it in front of me. You really think I care whether you live or die? Kaiba: Yeah, but you have no reason to kill me, do you? Yugi: My grandfather's literal soul is on the line here. Kaiba:...I need to save my brother? Yugi: Oh you mean the brother who stole my Star Chips and nearly got me disqualified because he was petty I beat you fair and square? Kaiba:...Uh, I have Dark Magician Girl in my pocket? Yugi: You live for now.
Yugi: Oh, right! You're dear little brother, Mokuba. The same little brother who sent a literal gang of kids armed with live ammo to gun me and my friends down. The same little brother who nearly killed Jounouchi and me with poisoned food out of revenge? Am I right?
Kaiba: Looks like I'm the king of games, Yugi. Hugh Neutron: Well, I wouldn't say that, Kaiba. Kaiba: Now, who are you supposed to be? Hugh Neutron:You're going to find out after after I send you to the shadow realm kaibo.

It's so tragic that Kaiba decided to jump after Yugi won a card game against him. If only Yugi had known he was here to save his little brother! Maybe he could have talked him down from that ledge that Kaiba absolutely *jumped* fro- is that a camera?
@@planetbob6703 Seto Kaiba (海かい馬ば 瀬せ人と Kaiba Seto) is one of the main characters of the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. He is the older brother of Mokuba and the modern-day reincarnation of Priest Seto, himself the original keeper of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Adopted into the Kaiba family as an orphan, Kaiba is at the helm of the world’s largest multi-national gaming conglomerate, KaibaCorp, serving as its majority owner and CEO. An intellectually gifted and innovative computer programmer, engineer, and inventor during his youth, he invented virtual software for playing video games as a young child prodigy. Nonetheless, an estranged relationship with his stepfather and outsmarting him auspiciously led the young Seto towards a seamless corporate takeover of KaibaCorp. With access to vast wealth, technological resources, and a wellspring of scientific and business expertise, Kaiba seeks to expand KaibaCorp's business operations not just across Domino City but the entire world. A competitively astute businessman and cutthroat investor, Kaiba is feared throughout the business world; earning him the hospitality and respect that he needs from his peers and rivals. Kaiba also seeks to become the world's greatest player in Duel Monsters, to accomplish this goal, he must defeat his arch-rival, Yugi Muto. Kaiba is largely considered an anti-hero, as his motives are usually egocentric and his personality traits are selfish and arrogant, but he does sometimes help Yugi and his friends if it’s in his best interest (although there are a few occasions where he helps Yugi when faced with a common enemy). Among one of the recurring plots is Seto Kaiba being forced to deal with either people adversely affected by Gozaburo Kaiba's actions, wanting to take their revenge on Seto himself, or people from within KaibaCorp attempting to take over the company.
i love yugi's inner consciousness telling him to use a better card to guarantee kaiba's death and kaiba just in a state of panic not knowing if he really is about to get banished to the shadow realm was the cherry on top.
