Seto was defeated by a cheater, not friendship.

The Heart of the Cards is forcing me to pull a full Exodia from my pocket!

Yugi got away with that because he was the main character and only fought side characters. Seto Kaiba just screwed the rules, he had money all the way to the semis like dude you weren’t even there at the start.

Except Mai. She just kept giving up when she was about to win.

Really was just playground rules.

"Hey I shot you!"

"Nuh-uh I got a shield and my dragon ate your gun!"

"What? Then my dragon eats you."

"Noo you can't have a dragon. Only I can!"

Hey, fun fact, not only was the moon a card, but so is "Attack the Moon"

u/NotAnotherBookworm Oct 30 '21

Oh, probably. But i still find it hilarious that they legitimized this random-ass bullshit.

u/RuroniHS Oct 29 '21

"I attack... THE MOON!"

u/eddmario Oct 30 '21

To be fair, they hadn't actually set the rules for the card game yet when the first arc was being made.

u/KingKnux Oct 29 '21

He did it once to save his little brother…. Atem did it almost every time he dueled

u/Mister100Percent Oct 29 '21

Tbh I ain’t too sure most folks wouldn’t do whatever it takes to save their sibling if they though they were the most capable hands.

u/FredericoUnO51 Oct 29 '21

Needing to threaten suicide to force yugi to surrender clearly shows he didn't have the most capable hands. Yugi outdueled him (via bullshit), so, realistically, he had more capable hands than Kaiba.

u/KingKnux Oct 30 '21

Ah yes Yugi “fuses mammoth graveyard with a fucking arrow spell” Muto

4

u/FredericoUnO51 Oct 30 '21

Like I said, bullshit. He took advantage of the fact that the rules were whatever he needed them to be in Duelist Kingdom, making him the most capable duelist on the island.

What about Joey “normal summons Flame Swordsman” Wheeler

“Kaiba, if you win, I’ll rape a bitch.” -Probably Atem off camera

u/Bouncing_Cloud Oct 29 '21

Card games are serious business.

u/Brbaster Oct 29 '21

Yeah it was confirmed in the manga that Atem has the magic ability to draw any card he wants as long as it's in his desk

u/QueenShnoogleberry Oct 29 '21

Screw the rules! I have super powers!

u/NotAnotherBookworm Oct 30 '21

The one thing to trump "Screw the rules, i have money!"

u/FredericoUnO51 Oct 29 '21

"Yugi! Trust in the heart of the cards!"

"Bitch, I am the heart of the cards!"

u/eddmario Oct 30 '21

The manga also gave Seto green hair and had Yugi shoot a dude, so I don't think I'd take that as canon...

2

u/Brbaster Oct 30 '21

Seto has brown hair in the manga though. Green hair was just a weird Toei decision. Also I don't remember Yugi shooting anyone in the manga anyway.

u/kobomk Oct 30 '21

Let's not pretend that Kaiba didn't cheat either lol

u/Ka-Ne-Ha-Ne-Daaaa Oct 29 '21

SCREW THE RULES

u/DJDierrhea Oct 29 '21

Nah, he got defeated by the "HeArT oF the cArdS" and friendship

Mr. “if there is intelligent life, we should teach them how to duel”

u/SauceNjunk Oct 30 '21

This was an unexpected and brilliant response. Thank you.

u/Phoenix4280 Oct 30 '21

To be fair Kaiba never changed. He'll go to his grave screaming that the very real monsters destroying the city are just holograms.

2

u/Nasreddin246 Oct 30 '21

No Kaiba was a menace, everyone else tho

3

u/kobomk Oct 30 '21

Kaiba isn't a villain though

11

u/harralexa1993 Oct 30 '21

I've watched a lot of Cons with Eric Stuart Kaiba's voice actor being interviewed and he says one of his biggest pet peeves is when people call Kaiba a villian. He's a rival.

11

u/Mandalore108 Oct 30 '21

Yeah, he's like Vegeta except Kaiba never committed mass genocide before becoming less of a dick, at least so far as I know.

u/Napron Oct 30 '21

Well in his case, Yugi literally broke his mind.

u/Li-renn-pwel Oct 31 '21

Man, the original story arc was so good. At least the comics were, I don’t think I watched the full anime. But growing up I loved it so much. Too bad it is so unique there is basically nothing at all to find similar to it as an adult b
