I do understand people have genuine reason to dislike the manga's mind-crush and there's a pretty fair discussion and critique to be had if people want. I also know there are fans who enjoy the drama of the manga's mind-crush and explore the anguish of aspects of it from varied sides. Forgive my spiel.

My personal hot take that others don't need to share is: I feel like, when Seto awoke from that catatonic state, he was kind of at peace with having gone through it and isn't angry over it really. Like awaking from a deep depression after a manic emotional spiral into the ground, like waking up and deciding it's time to get back to life. Like he'd been so very tired for so long and it was almost like a break for him, a rest, to reconfigure himself. This is me reading it more symbolically and as expressionistic, so I understand why coming from other viewpoints, this read wouldn't be for everyone. I also find the way family struggles though these tumultuous events and how support and connection fractures and yet lives, fractured and brittle and living on all at once, to be true within the manga's portrayal in a certain kind of sense, but again I understand how this requires a certain mindset and my mindset isn't everyone's by any stretch. I think Mokuba having really complicated feelings and struggling hard remains canon either way.

"The mind-crush coma is bad."

Yeah, okay, you can feel that way. That's fair. But you can't understand the potency and expressionist emotion and power of this moment:

You should consider watching a Lets Play of Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy because this game's plot is so goofy and melodramatic it could be a Yu-Gi-Oh filler arc but with more sex scenes.

Obligatory note that fiction is up to the reader and all that. Personal readings, yadda. But I suppose when it comes to mental health conditions (illness, disability, disorder, whatever), most of the time it's not that it "goes away" but rather that one adapts to live with it. Which is why the relationships Seto Kaiba fumbles around with in canon (badly or not) mean something to me and I find them worth exploring, even if they aren't "neurotypical" and have gaps as there may be gaps of understanding for someone with mental health conditions. But that doesn't mean the feelings are something less.

(Although I concede that I don't personally feel Seto is at a place of being stable enough for a committed romantic relationship in canon and that he needs to work on himself. But it's not about romance when I say the above.)
