Hey, all! It's been a while since I've talked about Yu-Gi-Oh, and I've wanted to make another "Why I Like The Thing" video for quite a while (and also a video about Kaiba in general), so...here's this! Hope you enjoy! Oh, and also, just to address something that some folks might bring up -- "But Daniel, Seto Kaiba is way less skeptical about destiny/magic stuff in the Japanese dub!" -- that's true, but this is primarily based on my own experience (and nostalgia) with how I experienced the character in the English dub, 'cause that's what I grew up with, and what 4Kids gave us was the guy who staunchly refused to believe there was any truth to the hocus-pocus nonsense until the tail-end of Season 5, haha.

Why not? Anyone using Brick-Eyes deserves a good mocking.

In universe, he’s arguably the most important character across all of the franchise. The man’s extremely unhealthy obsession led to so many tournaments and dueling technology it virtually cemented the in-universe duel monsters sport. And Kaiba Corp was solely responsible for duel academy and likely the duel runner, the latter which seemed to have influenced dueling formats in later series, too (I never watched past 5D’s, so I don’t know if Kaiba Corp was responsible for those formats, but I do know they had things similar to riding duels in form and function). So just like Tony Stark and Elon Musk, Seto Kaiba’s absurd ness singlehandedly changed the course of history for his universe.

Kaiba has reason to be hardcore. He has the skills to back them up!

In Yu-Gi-Oh GX, there was that lab monkey that was taught to duel named "Wheeler" and I wanna think that Kaiba named him even though the experiment was done in secret so there's no way that a KC owned school would have approved that.

8:47 one of the best parts from the anime of kaiba that I love is when the Noah arc ends and kaiba and mokuba are running to make it onto the blimp and mokuba says he’s not gonna make it, so kaiba throws mokuba onto the blimp with one hand and kaiba is like 6 ft away from the blimp and he jumps onto it.

Also yeah, I only really watched the dub and only know about the changes through the internet recapping them for me.

I recommend this video called SETO KAIBA Character Analysis by Valtuem that explains what Kaiba is like in the original manga. I grew up with the 4Kids dub Kaiba as well, and consider that it's own distinct character, but it's interesting to see where it came from. Eric Stuart's awesome voice work just makes everything that Kaiba says sound so cool. I thought Seto Kaiba was so cool and badass growing up, and I wanted to be like him which probably wasn't entirely a good thing.

I always go back and forth about whether I want to check out the Yu-Gi-Oh anime. On the one hand, I love the art style and the whole Egyptian mythology aesthetic, the monsters look really cool and the duels look like fun to watch. On the other hand, all of the stupid things that got changed in the English dub (and oversights like the movie thing you mention at the very end of this video), plus the constant disrespect the series shows to its most prominent female character, makes me wonder how much I would really enjoy it. There are other anime series that I want to watch first, so it'll be a while before I run out, but so far the advice I've been given about Yu-Gi-Oh ranges from "Japanese dub only" to "Original series only" to "Just watch the Abridged version."

@SuperNerdDaniel

3 жыл бұрын

That's fair -- 4Kids is often derided for how much they changed/censored from the original dub (like they did with so many other series under their corporate umbrella). All you'd have to do is look at all the ways they tried to take the edge off of the life-or-death stakes in many of the Duels. I think one of the most famous examples was in Yugi VS Pandora/Arcana (depending on whether you're watching the sub or the dub) during Battle City, where Arcana (going with the dub name 'cause that's what I'm familiar with, haha) had both of them locked by their ankles, with only the winner getting to use their key to free themselves. In the sub, the idea was that, as each Duelist lost Life Points, a saw blade would get closer and closer to their ankles, with the idea that the loser would have their feet sawed off and presumably die from blood loss, but in the dub, the saw blades were recolored so they were glowing blue, and were called something like "dark energy discs", and contact with them would just poof your soul to the Shadow Realm. And that's just ONE example, haha.

Truly the S-Tier "rival" character in the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise, tbh.

Yup i agree

It should also be noted that Kaiba and his corporation essentially created the Synchro Mechanic and the perpetual motion machine. Which leads to the apocalypse and the actions of Z-0NE.

Kaiba later followed yami to the afterlife he was many things but more so dedicated lol

7:23 technically they’re all the same age so i wouldn’t call Atem or Yugi “children” they’re all roughly 16 or 16+

I mean, putting aside the fact that, even at 16-ish, you'd still be considered a child in the eyes of the law in most places, I wasn't calling Atem a child either way when I said that -- I was saying Yugi was the kid, whereas Atem was the "walking deus ex machina".

The best Kaiba Quote: Screw the rules I have money!!

0:55-2:10 The Blue Eyes is pretty dope.😌👌

Fantastic video, by the way..! ✌️👽

Hey, that's totally valid! You're completely allowed to like a story arc even if other people didn't.

I liked it to

dont forget when he pulled a card that no longer exists out of nowhere, summoning Obilisk the tormentor despite them leaving with the phearo

Enjoyed the video. Kaiba is awesome

"Fire whoever designed that bottle. KaibaCorp products shouldn't bend that easily."

I agree with you and hes the only character that does not cheat so in my eyes is the king of games

Jesus Christ is lord. Please take your salvation seriously. Read three books of the Bible in your life. Please, it is important. Genesis Mathew and one you chose yourself. As you do genuinely open your heart to the possibility and do the inner healing Jesus Christ taught. Be genuine, forgive others, break down before Jesus Christ, ask for forgiveness, please. I’m serious. The Bible is truth. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life

@@SuperNerdDaniel it was entertaining

He deadass my favourite anime character

I mean technically Kaiba did teach aliens how to duel with the Neo spa Ian’s and the Zexal aliens and Baryons he really did fulfill that statement

my favorite character is Bakura, but the more I re-watch yugioh, and the older I get... Kaiba is the most relatable character for me.

It's all fun and games until Kaiba sees them aliens over Kaiba Corporation's main office, and one of them steps out all like "Challenge Accepted."

Kaiba and Yami are Materialism and Spiritualism made manifest..! 😂

You know that Kaiba is the GOAT when you don't know if his quotes are from the abridged series

great video

I think Kaiba's stubborn skepticism is more a dub thing. In the original Japanese dub he doens't deny it, he just doesn't really care.

Yeah, I'm aware of that difference, I usually just do these videos based on the version I'm more familiar with since I have more of an attachment to it. Not that I never mention the sub stuff in Yu-Gi-Oh videos, but just saying, haha.

Kaiba and Jack Atlas are my too 2 favorite characters in YGO

That’s funny to know. Kaiba is my favorite from the original DM and of all time in the franchise and Jack is my hands down favorite from 5Ds

I Think Not! No one orders around Seto Kaiba! NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - DSOD Kaiba (Best Kaiba EVER. you can never change my mind on this.)

UPDATE 10/12/21: Hey, looks like this video has hit 10,000 views! Thanks for the support, y'all! Really appreciate everyone who decided to sit there for 9 minutes and listen to me talk about a self-absorbed billionaire who takes children's card games more seriously than anyone else in the universe and has an unhealthy obsession with one very specific dragon, haha.

Regarding the story of Kaiba's inspiration, as well as how Kaiba actually gets treated all the time in the anime (Worf Effect was in full swing), I think the inspiration was more than just "this would be an interesting character". I think Kazuki Takahashi might have actually had a bit of resentment, and wanted to try and show how being a competitive player was "wrong and bad".

I liked your video so much special the part about sending wheeler to jupiter 🤣🤣🤣 . Anyways I actually love kaiba so much he is my favorite character in yugioh not only duel monsters but the show itself . And I have so many favorite quote but the most is his quote in the tag fourth duel between him , yugi , joey and marik when he used shrink on Joey's monster he said " NOW HE'S MONSTER BECAME PUNE AS HIS MIND " 😂🤣🤣🤣 and when he said " I AM FUNNY " I am absolutely done with this man. For the pyramid of light part he should have won but any show must make the protagonist win in the movie 😅😣😣
