Why do you like seto kaiba

The kid was an exceedingly bright student and heir to KaibaCorp until he experienced a horrible car accident at the age of 12, which resulted in his mind being programmed into a computer. In a supposed effort to make him more intimidating and reminiscent of the story's anti-villain Seto Kaiba, the writers gave him a green-haired look inspired by Kaiba in the original show. If you think about it, Seto Kaiba never lost a fair duel, making him legitimately the best duelist in the series.

From the start of the series, he is introduced as a self-proclaimed top-ranking duelist; at least, until Yugi teaches him a lesson and Pegasus embarrasses Seto even further. However, these are the only two individuals who beat Kaiba in a legitimate duel, and what do they have in common? That's right, the millennium items. Pegasus' Millennium Eye allows him to read other people's minds, making him virtually unbeatable, while Yugi invokes a spirit of a year old Pharaoh to assist him, making it two against one.

Seto's other two losses were included in the anime's filler episodes, so they are not legitimate. In a duel against Noah, Kaiba decides to lose on purpose to save Mokuba, while in his duel with Yugi against Dartz, he sacrifices himself so Yugi could gain more life points and finish Dartz off. Seto's stepfather Gozaburo raised Seto on the belief that he'll eventually inherit their massive Family enterprise dubbed KaibaCorp. If he failed, both Seto and Mokuba would be sent back to the orphanage.

Seto, being a cunning and brilliant strategist, managed to do so in one single day. He allegedly did this by finding a smaller company that deeply cares about its employees and buying it out. He then used the owner's sentiment against him and threatened to shut down the company leaving the employees on the streets unless he would buy it back from him a hundred times the price.

In the English dub, the amount Seto was to return was toned down from to 10 times, making the whole situation a tad more realistic. After Seto proved he was more apt at leading KaibaCorp than his stepfather, Seto decided to overthrow him. Seto used the fact that his stepfather treated his subordinates, also known as the Big Five, poorly and promised to be kinder. In the events of the original manga, Gozaburo committed suicide by throwing himself out of the window.

This goes for the 4Kids TV adaptations dubbed in English. The guy also voiced a ton of other high-profile anime characters, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! In season four, Alister holds a grudge against him for Gozaburo's supposed involvement in the disappearance of Alister's younger brother.

And in season five, Zigfried von Schroeder , one of his main business rivals, also wants to bring him down. In short, Kaiba is surrounded by enemies, which makes it hard for him to know who he can trust. Because of his fearsome and intimidating reputation, people often make assumptions about Kaiba without really knowing him.

Sure, they are often right in thinking that Kaiba is a pampered, egotistical rich boy with a God complex, but there's so much more to him than meets the eye. Pegasus Vs. Alister, for example, judges and blames Kaiba for his stepfather's mistakes without even taking the time to consider that Seto might also be a victim of Gozaburo.

It's true that Kaiba does a lot to actually confirm people's suspicions of him but that doesn't mean it's okay for others to make unfounded assumptions. Kaiba's main goal during most of the anime is to beat Yugi Muto and reclaim his title as the King of Games. He's obsessed with power and building the best deck in the game, which is why he shameless and passionately pursues the Egyptian God Cards in his blind quest for dominance.

Kaiba sees life as a game, a huge chessboard where people are chess pieces to move and manipulate. This cold way of seeing the world contributors to his success in the business world but also leaves him completely vulnerable when he loses one of his challenges. There is no middle ground with Kaiba. He either wins everything or doesn't win at all.

Kaiba's cynical view of the world prevents him from having any real friends. And while he states that he neither wants nor needs them, he often shows a slight degree of jealousy at Yugi's strong support system which might explain why he always goes against the group, especially Joey. In a way, it wouldn't be crazy to say that Kaiba considers Yugi to be both his closest friend and biggest rival.

Kaiba's lack of friendly connection certainly makes his life a lot sadder and empty. He may have a fortune at his disposal, but with no one to share it with, things must get really lonely for the CEO and owner of Kaiba Corp. Gozaburo Kaiba resents Seto so much that he escaped into the virtual world where he hoped to launch an attack against his former stepson. Gozaburo is a cruel and truly evil man who cares about nothing and no one but himself.

And Seto, knowing full-well what kind of man his stepfather is, grows up resenting him. It's rather sad that Kaiba is adopted by someone who wants to give him neither respect nor love. He also remains punctilious in the Duel Disks he developed as he would use them even when Duel Rings are nearby by plugging it into the Duel Ring's hologram projector so any card he plays on his Duel Disk is displayed on the Duel Ring instead of just using the Duel Ring.

However, when he lost, he decided on a new path, rather an old one, of building Kaiba Land all around the world. However, he vowed his rivalry with Yugi is far from over, even though they never had an on-screen Duel after this. At some point, Kaiba through his philanthropic hospitality and passion for Duel Monsters established the Central Duel Academy , a private educational institution to train the next generation of up and coming duelists to accomplish this goal.

Throughout the series, Kaiba has proven himself one of the most astute, accomplished, and formidable businessmen and investors in the world. A child prodigy and polymorphic genius, he excels at virtually any skill or area of study he applies himself to.

With natural aptitude and raw talent, since his teenage years, he has both successful reinvented and ran his world-wide cooperation while also pursued his passion for games, having spent years as an undefeated world champion in various games including Duel Monsters and chess. In addition to his shrewd business acumen and gaming aptitude, while having no known university degrees, Kaiba is incredibly skilled with science and technology, most noticeably programming and engineering.

He specializes mainly in computer software programming and building cutting edge technological software and hardware such as the development of KaibaCorp's high-tech Duel Disks and advanced Solid Vision technology. He is very advanced hacker, skillfully making his way through the Duelist Kingdom network. He is also very athletic, able to nimbly land from high jumps and a proficient hand-to-hand combat, easily defeating some of Pegasus' elite guards while showing deceptive raw strength.

At a young age, Seto and his younger brother Mokuba 's parents both died. Their relatives took everything from their will and sent Seto and Mokuba to the orphanage. In the dub, it simply said that their parents died and there was no mention of their relatives. Seto and Mokuba playing chess at the orphanage. On their first day at the orphanage, Seto comforted Mokuba, who was crying.

He told him that he will be his father from there on and vowed to protect him no matter what. He advised Mokuba to always stay on his guard, as he will be finished if he shows any weakness. Together at the orphanage, Seto and Mokuba would often play games, including chess , which Seto always won, but still encouraged Mokuba. One day they made a model theme park in the sandpit. Seto said that one day they would open real theme parks around the world, that everyone would want to visit [9] and orphans would be allowed in free of charge.

The former head of KaibaCorp, Gozaburo Kaiba , arrived at the orphanage to perform a publicity stunt. Seto, who was 12 at the time, saw the chance to challenge him to a game of chess, with the stakes being that Gozaburo was to adopt Seto and Mokuba together, if Seto wins.

Gozaburo refused at first, but when Seto threatened to tell everyone he backed down from a challenge with a child, he submits. Seto won since he had already studied Gozaburo's chess methods. Gozaburo then reluctantly adopted both brothers. When he adopted Seto, Gozaburo planned to only use his body as a shell for his son, Noah. Noah had been injured in an accident and had his mind uploaded into a virtual world, as he was unable to survive in his real body.

Gozaburo also wanted to use Seto to motivate Noah to work harder so he could head a company of that magnitude. Gozaburo abandoned his idea to transfer Noah's mind into Seto's body and focused his energies in training Seto through a rigorously accelerated education program to hone his business acumen and corporate management proficiency.

True to the terms of the bet, life with Gozaburo was the complete opposite of the luxury that Seto and Mokuba envisioned after their adoption, as Gozaburo forced Seto into a rigorously accelerated school program, forcing him to study several subjects including economics, social studies, foreign languages, and game theory.

Nonetheless, a naive Gozaburo also did not realize that he was not merely raising an heir, but a powerful apprentice that would ultimately outsmart him and take over his company. When Gozaburo asked Seto what he planned to do with KaibaCorp after he inherited it, he said that he planned to build a Kaiba Land theme park for underprivileged children.

Gozaburo called this boring, but Seto protested that games purify the soul. Gozaburo was not interested as games cannot be used to rule and ordered Hobson to confiscate all of Seto's toys, refusing to let Seto touch toys until he knew how to rule. In the dub, Seto couldn't keep up with the pace Gozaburo wanted him to study at. Gozaburo disallowed him from having weekends off. As Gozaburo said that discipline is the only way to crush your enemies, Seto protested that he has no enemies.

Gozaburo insisted that he does and he must learn that he can't even trust Gozaburo. He ordered Hobson to confiscate all of Seto's toys, so that they won't distract him from his studies. He also left a note saying that their new family couldn't take everything away from them. Kaiba stepped out onto a balcony and vowed to get a real "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", one day.

Seto meets Zigfried. Gozaburo brought Seto and Mokuba to a party he threw. Seto had achieved a name for himself as a prodigy. A German man introduced his son as a prodigy too. His son, Zigfried von Schroeder , whispered to Seto asking if they should spice things up. Then the lights began to flicker on and off.

Gozaburo was astonished as the system was protected by a fail safe system. Zigfried whispered to Kaiba that he dabbles in technology. He said that spending all your time alone causes you to tinker in your own projects and that Seto must understand.

Seto returned all the money within a single day. Seto invented a virtual software for playing video games. However, Gozaburo intended to use it for war. Seto confronted him over this, but Gozaburo scolded him again for wanting to play games.

Seto was to inherit the company one day, Gozaburo said, and the company is about beating enemies and rising to power, not making toys. Seto called him insane and Gozaburo had his guards take Seto away.

Seto called out "Father" as he was dragged away. That was the last time he called Gozaburo "Father". Not wanting his virtual system to be used by Gozaburo to kill countless people and make a fortune, Seto refused to let himself hand his system over to the evil man. He lost his respect for Gozaburo, and decided that he would take over KaibaCorp. Seto made a deal with The Big Five , where they would try to overthrow Gozaburo.

He told the Big Five that Gozaburo didn't give them the respect they deserved and he would treat them better once he becomes in charge. Seto made sure Gozaburo came to know of their plan and accused Mokuba of snitching on them. Seto and Mokuba were briefly turned against each other and Mokuba was given comfort by Gozaburo.

Unable to live with the defeat, Gozaburo committed suicide, [18] but not before he uploaded his mind into Noah 's virtual world in the dub, Gozaburo left in disgrace after the takeover, never to be seen or heard from again until the Virtual World arc.

After taking control of KaibaCorp, Seto shifted its economic interest from manufacturing weapons of mass destruction to game-oriented equipment. Kaiba didn't give The Big Five the respect or power they had been expecting when they made the deal to overthrow Gozaburo. He refused to provide finance to Crump to build his dream penguin theme park. He demoted Nezbitt to dispatching material for building the tower [21] In the dub Kaiba took Lector's title of heir to company president and made Lector little more than company figurehead.

Kaiba started building an amusement park for orphaned and underprivileged children called Kaiba Land. At the start of the series, only one Kaiba Land had been built, in Domino in the dub, none of the parks had been built, and Kaiba Land was touted as the KaibaCorp headquarters.

Kaiba began work on creating holographic technology to heighten the experience of playing Duel Monsters. Kaiba demonstrates the holographic technology and makes a partnership with Pegasus. Kaiba witnesses Pegasus face Bandit Keith in the finals.

At the Duel, Pegasus simply sat in front of Keith for a few seconds, then wrote down some instructions on a piece of paper, which he gave to a beginner, Sam , from the audience to use against Keith. He hoped Kaiba was "enjoying the tournament so far, even though it must seem so crude to him, unlike the holographic Dueling stations KaibaCorp is developing. Kaiba met with Pegasus to demonstrate a miniature Dueling Arena to a group of businessmen. Zigfried von Schroeder then entered the room disgusted, as he had developed something similar and believed Kaiba's idea belonged to him.

Kaiba inferred that Pegasus must have read Keith's mind in the Duel, so later he began making Duel Disks to combat Pegasus' mind reading strategy. With Duel Disks, players would be able to stand further apart and avoid face-to-face contact, which he hoped would be enough to avoid having his mind read. Suspecting it might be the 4th "Blue-Eyes", Kaiba visited Solomon's shop and saw the card. He tried to trade for the card and buy it, but Solomon refused, since the card is of high sentimental value to him.

Still determined and sickened by Solomon's attitude, Kaiba kidnapped him and challenged him to a Duel. Kaiba defeated Solomon and overwhelmed him with the holographic technology used in the Duel. As a prize, he took Solomon's "Blue-Eyes". He then called Yugi over to collect his grandfather. After winning, Yami inflicted a Mind Crush on Kaiba dispelling his evil half.

Despite not being an official match, meaning Yugi's victory didn't topple Kaiba from his pedestal as World Champion, Kaiba's reputation was still somewhat tarnished as Yugi became widely known as the duelist who defeated Kaiba. After his defeat, Kaiba dropped out of playing Duel Monsters as a result of being confused about how power lost to heart and began rebuilding himself. They sent two men to Kaiba's office to capture him. Kaiba refused to cooperate, so the henchmen prepared to open fire.

However, Kaiba knocked them back with a chair and deflected their gunshots with his briefcase. He jumped out the window of his office, leading them to believe he died. In the dub, the guns are removed and Kaiba jumped out after refusing to cooperate. In the meantime his Deck was stolen and Mokuba was kidnapped. Later Kaiba snuck back into his mansion through a hidden passageway. He entered a hidden computer lab, where he got an update on what Pegasus had done to KaibaCorp.

He learned that Mokuba was held prisoner on the Duelist Kingdom island and Pegasus will be given shares of KaibaCorp once Yugi is defeated in the Duelist Kingdom tournament. Kaiba flew to the Duelist Kingdom to confront Pegasus. He brought his Duel Disks with him to combat Pegasus' mind reading. As soon as he arrived on the island, he bumped into Yugi and his friends.

Yugi returned Kaiba's Deck to him and suggested that they stick together as they are all going to Pegasus' castle, but Kaiba declined. Joey Wheeler , who was disgusted by Kaiba's attitude, confronted him, and the two wound-up Dueling. Kaiba used the Duel as a chance to test his Duel Disks. Kaiba cruelly mocked Joey and called him a loser. Before leaving, he told the group about Pegasus' Duel with Keith, so Yugi and Joey know what they are up against.

Kaiba jams Kemo's gun. This scene was removed in the dub. The next day, Kemo found Kaiba on the island and pointed a gun to his head. However Kaiba jammed the gun with a " Gyakutenno Megami " card. Kaiba pulled the gun from Kemo, injuring his hand. This scene is removed from the dub.

Kemo lunged at Kaiba, but Kaiba subdued him and ordered him to take them to Mokuba. Kemo took Kaiba to Pegasus' dungeons, but triggered a security alarm, calling for backup. Kaiba hid on one of the walls and listened-in on a group of Pegasus' guards, who had been unable to find him. The guards decided to go to Mokuba's cell, believing Kaiba will show up there soon. Kaiba leaped down and followed them.

Once they arrived at the cell, Kaiba sneaked-up on them and knocked them out. Kaiba was briefly reunited with Mokuba, but was confronted by Pegasus before he could release him. Pegasus used the Millennium Eye to strip Mokuba of his soul, which he trapped in a " Soul Prison " card. Pegasus said that Kaiba must defeat him in a Duel if he wished to free Mokuba.

Kaiba was willing to Duel on the spot, but Pegasus refused telling Kaiba that he must defeat Yugi in a Duel, before he can do that. Kaiba confronted Yugi outside the castle and imposed a Duel.

Initially Yugi refuses, but he switched to Yami Yugi and accepted. Kaiba sees Mokuba, begging Seto to help him. A younger version of Seto tries to run to Mokuba's aid but unfortunately, it is too late. Kaiba refuses to lose his only chance at saving his brother. As Yami was about to win, Kaiba stood-up on the edge of the castle, such that if Yami made another attack, he would fall to his death.

Although Yami tried to attack, Yugi took-over and called it off. Kaiba won on the next turn, taking five of Yugi's Star Chips. Combined with the five Pegasus gave him earlier, Kaiba had enough to enter the castle and face Pegasus. Kaiba got ready to Duel Pegasus.

He insisted on using the Duel Disks, but Pegasus wasn't too keen. Pegasus accepted under the condition, that Mokuba who is stripped of his soul, held the Duel Disk for him. Kaiba refused to face his brother in such a way and agreed to Duel without the Disks. Kaiba privately asked Mokuba to forgive him as Pegasus trapped his soul in another "Soul Prison" card. Kaiba thanked Yugi for saving Mokuba and insisted that they should have a fair Duel someday to determine who is the better Duelist.

He gave Yugi and his friends a lift home from the island afterwards. Kaiba prepared to fire The Big Five for trying to take over KaibaCorp, as well as payment for the suffering through which they had forced him and Mokuba.

But the Big Five plead with Kaiba, and gave him the complete virtual reality game as a peace offering. Eager to try out the virtual reality game, Kaiba refrained from immediately firing them and decided to test the system. Mokuba advised against it, harboring doubt.

Kaiba however assured him otherwise, and continued to experiment with the game. However an Armed Ninja ambushed him, taking him by surprise as he had no recollection of programming it. Kaiba attempted to attack it with Blue-Eyes, but a Dragon Capture Jar appeared and trapped the dragon. The Armed Ninja threw a net on Kaiba, capturing him. Kaiba was taken to the Castle of Dark Illusions " and chained to a pillar, where he is held captive by the Witty Phantom.

In an attempt to escape, Kaiba tried to end the simulation, but learned that that function had been disabled. Mokuba recruited Yugi and Joey to help him in his efforts to rescue Kaiba. Together they go to the castle and Mokuba managed to free Kaiba. Kaiba Summoned a second "Blue-Eyes", which destroyed the phantom. The two "Blue-Eyes" easily defeated Armed Ninja. The Big Five congratulated the players on making it to the final level, but Kaiba protested that they stopped the "Mythic Dragon" from being Summoned, so they have already beaten the game.

However the Big Five had reprogrammed the game making them have to face the "Mythic Dragon". The group were sent to a room, where only Dragon-Type monsters are of use. The group had their dragons attack the "Mythic Dragon" to no avail. The Mythic Dragon started to take out the players and their dragons one by one. Mokuba pushed Kaiba out of the way of one of its blasts, saving Kaiba, but letting himself be taken out. With the loss of Mokuba taking a great toll on Kaiba, Yugi's persuasion finally got through to Kaiba, who fused his dragons into " Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ".

Kaiba and Yugi woke-up in the courtyard of the Edina 's palace. The crowds cheered for them for defeating the "Mythic Dragon". Kaiba and his rescuers returned to the real world, [38] while the Big Five were left trapped in the virtual world. Kaiba receives " Obelisk the Tormentor " from Ishizu Ishtar.

Ishizu Ishtar invited Kaiba to an Ancient Egypt exhibition. Here she used her Millennium Necklace to show him visions from the past, where a sorcerer , who looks like Kaiba, battled the Nameless Pharaoh , who looks like Yugi, using Duel Monster Spirits.

She told him about their most powerful monsters, the Egyptian Gods , which Pegasus made Duel Monsters cards of, but was unable to control their power. She had come into possession of one of the Gods, " Obelisk the Tormentor ", while the others were stolen by thieves. She gave Kaiba the card, in exchange for him starting a Duel Monsters tournament to attract the thieves so they may gather the three Gods.

Kaiba laughed at the idea of him returning the "Obelisk" card, but Ishizu insisted that he will, as she has foreseen it. Kaiba agreed to host the tournament in the hopes of gathering the three God cards for himself through an ante rule [39] and so he can defeat Yugi, reclaiming his title as World Champion. The computer Summoned " Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ", but Kaiba defeated it with "Obelisk the Tormentor", whose strength proved too much for the computer, causing it to catch fire.

Kaiba invited Duelists he thought to be good enough to participate in the tournament. All players were given the newest version of his Duel Disks. Mokuba suggested that they disqualify them, but Kaiba allowed for it. In the dub, Kaiba had planned to have them hack in all along, so the holders of the Egyptian Gods would enter the tournament.

The first Rare Hunter Dueled Yugi. Kaiba found out the Rare Hunter was using fake cards, but still didn't disqualify him, as he needed to learn more about the Rare Hunters. Kaiba took part in the tournament himself, leaving his employees monitor other Duels to find the Egyptian God cards. Kaiba found Koji Nagumo bullying a Duelist he just defeated into giving him a second card through the ante rule. Kaiba challenged Koji to a Duel and gave him rare cards to improve his Deck beforehand.

Despite this, Kaiba quickly defeated him using "Obelisk the Tormentor". Kaiba encourages Yugi in his Duel against Strings.

He spent much of the preliminaries trying to find and defeat Yugi. He bumped into Joey Wheeler in his search, surprised to see him wearing a Duel Disk as he hadn't been invited. Joey challenged Kaiba to a Duel on the spot, but Kaiba received word of a God Card being played and took-off.

Seeing Yugi drops to his knees, doubting he can win, Kaiba called down to him, ordering him live up to his reputation and thinking he is the only one who should defeat Yugi. After Yugi won, Kaiba congratulated him, but said it's a shame Yugi won't have "Slifer the Sky Dragon" for long and challenged him to a Duel.

However Marik informed Yugi that his friends had been kidnapped. Yugi postponed the Duel as he must find his friends. Kaiba followed Yugi and caught-up when Yugi was challenged to a Duel by two Rare Hunters, who couldn't decide which of them should face Yugi first. Kaiba appeared and told them to both Duel at once in a Tag Duel against him and Yugi. They agree and Kaiba easily defeated both of them at once using "Obelisk the Tormentor". Kaiba took their Locator Cards and handed one to Yugi.

As they searched for Yugi's friends, the guys were confronted by Lumis , who showed them that they have kidnapped Mokuba. The Duel was setup such that when a player loses, the glass roof below them shatters sending them to their death in the dub, there was a vortex to the Shadow Realm under the glass.

However Kaiba eventually accepted that they must work as a team. Yugi and Kaiba worked together to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor", which defeated Umbra, who used a parachute to save himself. Marik took control of Lumis' mind after he surrendered. Kaiba seized him demanding they release Mokuba. However Marik didn't keep his promise and left Lumis fall unconscious.

He handed Yugi one of the Locator Cards, qualifying them both for the finals. Seeing the Duel had been set-up to kill the loser, Kaiba tried to call it off, but Marik disregarded his authority. Once the Duel concluded with everyone alive, Kaiba parted and told Yugi that he'll see him at the finals. Kaiba took his helicopter to the KaibaCorp Stadium , where he waited for the other finalists. After six of the other seven finalists arrived, the true location of the finals, the Kaiba Craft 3 landed.

Kaiba's men tried to prevent Yugi and Joey's friends from boarding as they were not finalists, but Kaiba nonchalantly allowed it. On board Kaiba insulted Joey about making it this far by luck and advised Yugi to start using "Slifer". Bakura Ryou was greatly injured after his Duel with Yugi.

His friends tried talking Kaiba into making an emergency stop to take him to the hospital, but Kaiba refused until Serenity begged for him to show some compassion. He still tried to remain cold, but let Bakura have some medical attention anyway. Kaiba declared that the first player to stand up will be the winner and if neither stand within five minutes they will both be disqualified. When Mai tried Summoning Ra, which she managed to add to her own hand, hieratic text appeared on the card, which Mai needed to recite in order to Summon it.

Kaiba had his satellites photograph the card, so he can have the text translated later, although Marik suggested that Kaiba is already able to read them. In the last of the quarterfinals Kaiba found out the eight finalist is Ishizu Ishtar , as the two of them Dueled. In the meantime, Kaiba had Mokuba work on translating Ra's text. Ishizu had already predicted Kaiba's moves for the Duel using her Millennium Necklace and foresaw her own victory. Ishizu used " Exchange of the Spirit ", causing both players to swap the contents of their Decks with their Graveyards, leaving Kaiba with very few cards.

Almost finished the translation, Mokuba came out to support Seto in the Duel. Ishizu deliberately allowed Kaiba to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor", so that she may win using " Sacrifice's Blast ", as predicted. Kaiba followed the instinct, claiming he makes his own future and Tributed "Obelisk the Tormentor" to play "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", which he used to attack and defeat Ishizu. Kaiba checked on the progress in translating "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" text.

Mokuba told him that they're having trouble with the last few words, but Kaiba looked at the text in astonishment, finding that he's able to read it himself.

Remembering what Marik said about only chosen people being able to read the text, what Ishizu said about him being connected to an ancient sorcerer and the instinct that told him to play "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in the last Duel, Kaiba wondered what was happening to him. While traveling to the finals, the Battle City blimp went out of control and was guided into a mechanical fortress in the sea by Noah. For that they hate Yugi and his friends for helping Kaiba.

Having Kaiba as a common enemy, Noah uploaded their minds into his computer system. Using an altered form of Duel Monsters , they planned to face the gang in order to claim possession of their bodies, so that they may exist in the real world. The group were then transported to a virtual jungle. Kaiba wasn't fooled into thinking the place was real and allowed himself to be struck by a dinosaur, whose claw simply passed through Kaiba, leaving him unharmed.

A virtual copy of Kaiba appeared and Duels a " Total Defense Shogun " in a demonstration of the Deck Master rules, used in this virtual world.

Seto and Mokuba see their past selves as they are made to witness many of their memories. Seto and Mokuba ended up together in a forest. The two of them came to a door, which transported them to a virtual reconstruction of the orphanage that they used to live in.

Mokuba ran away from Seto over to the door, telling Seto that he had liked things the way they were before they got adopted; at least back then, Mokuba said, Seto actually smiled once in a while.

Seto reminded him that they can't change the past and assured him that it's just an illusion created by Noah. However Mokuba opened the door, causing him to slip over the side of a cliff. Seto reached in on time, catching Mokuba's arm before he fell any further. The virtual world Seto designed had safeguards to prevent such harm befalling on people, but this place, they realized, is different.

Seto told Mokuba that no matter what they see, he must realize that the past is over. He said that he is not proud of every decision he has made, but they were all made in favor of getting the two of them a better life. Seto and Mokuba made their way to a log cabin in a forest.

Inside they witnessed projections of when they started living with Gozaburo, including Seto being forced to study and having his toys confiscated. The projection faded away and Noah appeared before Seto and Mokuba. Seto asked Noah why he's making them watch this stuff.

Noah replied that it's to refresh Seto's memory of how he forced Gozaburo to a dead end and one day Seto shall be punished. Shortly afterwards, Noah sent them to another recreation of Seto's past, where he argued with Gozaburo over the use the virtual software that Seto had invented. Present day Seto accused Noah of using the virtual software that Gozaburo stole from him. Seto and Mokuba were then sent to a beach, where they found a TV half-buried.

Having lived in Seto's shadow, Noah needed to prove that he is more deserving of the position of president of KaibaCorp and cannot do that through cheating. Seto wondered why Noah is putting the two of them in competition. Seto suspected, but can't believe it's to do with Gozaburo, since he is dead. Kaiba started to wonder who Noah really is. Kaiba and Mokuba traveled through a desert, where they saw the ruins of KaibaCorp's old military center. Kaiba faces Nezbitt , who is inside Tristan's body.

The two finally made their way to a city. Here, Nezbitt, inside Tristan 's body, attacked them with a kendo stick. Kaiba tried throwing a card at Nezbitt, but he blocked. He then grabbed a pipe, which Nezbitt easily knocked out of his hand.

The real Tristan, in the body of a robot monkey, jumped at the impostor, saving Kaiba. Yugi and his friends arrived and caught the action. Joey punched Nezbitt, smashing him through a warehouse door. However Nezbitt emerged on a motorbike and snatched Mokuba, before driving off. Kaiba grabbed another motorbike and took off after Nezbitt. The chase led Kaiba to a bridge, where he was stopped by Leichter. Leichter had taken the form of Jinzo , but this was hidden by his trenchcoat.

In order to get Mokuba back, Kaiba had to first defeat Leichter in a Duel. Kaiba chose " Lord of Dragons " as his Deck Master. He was initially unable to see Leichter's Deck Master, nor does he care, until one of his Trap Cards was destroyed, revealing Jinzo to be the Deck Master.

Leichter's Deck was weapon-themed and Kaiba had worked to remove such aspects from KaibaCorp. Refusing to lose his dream to a weapon of death, Kaiba Summoned " Blue-Eyes White Dragon ", which took out Leichter's " Satellite Cannon ", before it could launch an attack, winning the Duel for Kaiba. After the Duel, Noah formed a tunnel and told Kaiba that he must come this way to find Mokuba.

Inside he found Noah, disguised as Mokuba, who transported Kaiba to a living room, containing the real Mokuba. Noah insisted that it was Kaiba's former employee that kidnapped Mokuba and that he was the one who rescued him.

Kaiba tried to leave with Mokuba. However Mokuba had been brainwashed against him by Noah. Noah showed Seto a clip from is own past.
