#seto kaiba's school of duel

[kujakumai]

Switching to subtitled version of GX for S2, excited to realize I have no idea what anyone's names are! TY to @thebuildlady for suggesting the tag, since I do not know enough about GX to make a funny one.

#seto kaiba's school of duel -> #cults space and dino dna

Duel! Standby!

[ap-kinda-lit]

Seto: The world of dueling is pretty cutthroat, and it seems like I have the sharpest knife.

Yami Bakura, holding knife: Really? I thought this was the sharpest knife.

[vanilla-poisons]

It’s a card game school with stupid kids what more could you want out of a school? It was also created by Seto Kaiba. Need I say more?

Round Four, Bracket 1

Thanks for reading!!!

All of Me; All of You:

Seven years after the tragedy that ended the game of Duel Monsters forever and destroyed nearly everything he'd worked for, Kaiba is trying to put his life back together. For the most part, he'd say he's doing okay: staying sober, rebuilding his company, being frugal (the new Porsche was EARNED, thank you very much). He doesn't even realize he's lonely until Mokuba, now enrolled in med school in the US with a partner and life of his own, hires a house cleaner for him: a silver-haired, blue-eyed American woman named Kisara. Between her looks, her name and her smile, she manages to throw everything he thought he knew about what happened all those years ago into question (because really it was all the cocaine talking, right? Right??).

Be it fate or coincidence, he's inevitably drawn to her and the two become friends. But if he falls for this smart, funny, practical-to-a-fault woman who's face has haunted his dreams for decades, would she love him back? And if she does, can he keep her safe from the monsters of his past?

[retributory]

gx is so crazy how do you explain to someone with a surface-level understanding of what yugioh is that the series after dm features a hermaphroditic dragon-demon card spirit fusing their soul with the main character, who also has apparently been continually reincarnating for 100s of years with the card spirit's primary goal being to protect him, and when they embrace to fuse he says they shall never part again because they will forever and always from that point on be one jointed soul and body, and also he commits a borderline genocide against the card spirit race (???) and straight up kills some of his friends (they get better), and also there's a character who got his leg broken during an archeological dig and they replaced the broken bone with a dinosaur bone (???) and now he's like part dino and has fucking dino dna (?????????) and they send him to space as his dinosona to destroy a satellite that is about to destroy the earth (????????????), and also one of the teachers in the school (seto kaiba's duel school for dueling) is a homunculus and when he dies his soul (???) gets eaten by his cat and for the rest of the series he is living (?) inside of the cat's body, and also on top of all that theres a cool rival character as expected of a show targeted towards young boys who looks cool but in actuality he's lame as hell like he canonically stinks like shit cause he doesn't wash his clothes and he joins a cult and they get him out of the cult by reminding him that his real personality is being a rancid little stinky smelly bastard loser and no one likes him and he spends the entire series getting completely dunked on and also his main archetype is these things:

and then you have to concede that at the end of the day it is still an anime for a children's card game designed to sell the cards so if you ever try to explain the impact this had on your developing mind at 7 years old you'll sound sick

[romanceddawn]

i talk about yandere seto sometimes but in season 0 it is pretty much canon, like he is actively stalking yugi throughout the show and i think its really funny so heres a bunch of evidence of that:

the first time we see it is when he sends that first game master out, he's not only hiding to listen to the duel in the nurses office but its heavily implied that he's been stalking yugi for a little bit before that too

like at the end of the day anzu tells yugi not to go to the arcade and yugi kind of rushes off despite knowing he doesnt have the money, meaning this is a frequent thing he does, but whats more is that he's going specifically that day because someones told him theres a new game being unveiled. when he gets there he cant find it and has to ask about it, which is when we see a disguised kaiba lead him to the back alley to kidnap him (this killed me to watch btw, yugi has no self preservation, but it was cute that kaiba seemed to stutter when talking to him)

but this all means that he was watching yugi long enough to know he always goes to the arcade after school and that yugi wouldnt be able to resist coming, even if he didnt have the money, as long as there was something new to play. it also means he had someone plant the information that thered be a new game OR that kaiba just disguised himself and told yugi this which is what im choosing to believe

of course, then we get to see him actually stalking him in the triplets episode, literally driving by and watching him (which is so funny to think about cuz his driver must be so tired of him lol)

at first i honestly thought he was stalking the triplets but at the end of the episode there is no reveal that he wanted them out of the dueling scene or that he was even worried about them getting the card they wanted at all, he beat them extremely easily. his only reason for doing the duel is because he couldnt stand the thought of someone (that he hadnt sent himself) beating yugi before he could, so i think he was watching yugi, recognized the triplet, and got bothered by them trying to encroach in on his rival

he also apparently records yugi? this recording is just the first game master playing him that he shows to aileen, but who knows how many other times he's recorded him just in case he 'needed' the footage

this moment of him lamenting about being connected by fate is ooc for him and not really stalking but it is very yandere of him so im throwing it in here anyways

and of course i have to add the death t invitation because you know he was watching yugi and his friends that whole day just waiting for the perfect moment to hack into something and invite him as dramatically as possible (however i wont add any of the death t stuff cuz like. we know what happens and how obsessive he is there)

since having this in my drafts, the season 0 movie has been restored and posted to youtube and in it kaiba is technically looking out for rare cards but even then he's managing to get in some time to stalk yugi (also the way his employee says "i know sir" i just know they're so tired of his obsessive ass)

TDLR: yandere seto is canon thank you for your time

[seekerbr]

One thing I was thinking about today after reading a few fanfics is Seto Kaiba and school, and how that is portrayed in fanfics.

In canon, we have very little of Kaiba in school: in the manga we have his introduction chapter, and then the first episode of DM and his introduction on Season 0 adapting it, but after these he kinda just… never goes to school again. We don’t even have him graduating on DSOD, so I guess we are supposed to assume that he dropped out of it sometime after losing to Yugi (or ending their game on a draw in Season 0’s case). 

But honestly, I think what i find interesting is how he’s portrayed as in fanfics: obviously I haven’t read every single YGO fanfic in existence, and sometimes different people will have different takes on it, but what i’ve seen on a lot of them is he still going to school after his first duel with Yugi, where he’s a pretty popular guy who’s known as the owner of a big company; also, he usually either works from school or skips classes a lot to work. The minor details then are kinda muddled, like if he’s considered a good student or not.

I put the detail of people knowing that he’s the owner of a big company because that isn’t actually the case originally? In his first chapter there’s nothing really implying that he’s even rich (though he does have that briefcase full of cards) and in the beginning of Death-T both Yugi and Joey are surprised that he’s the owner of Kaibacorp, so that’s obviously not common knowledge.

I guess you could just say that this is a retcon or use the meta excuse that Takahashi hadn’t thought about him being the owner of Kaibacorp yet, but I find interesting how that implies that he isn’t the big rich popular kid in school, seeing how the average person doesn’t know that he’s the son of the owner of a big company. Maybe he was really antisocial? Also, Kaibacorp still hasn’t created the Duel Boxes and Duel Disks at this point, so they might not be as popular at this point.

Both of the anime adaptations change this when they adapt his introduction: Duel Monsters has Joey asking why he is visiting grandpa’s shop since he’s the owner of a big company, so that’s common knowledge there, and Season 0 has him everyone immediately knowing who he is after first hearing his name, having the other student see his fancy car, letting people visit his mansion… Funny enough, his fandom self is closer to this version in a way, with him making it obvious how rich he is (though this version of him also still has Gozaburo being alive, so I imagine it changes his deal a little… Season 0 is weird sometimes)

BTW, I’m not complaining about how he’s treated in fanfics: it does make some sense seeing how boisterous he acts in later story arcs, and most people know the animes better; this is just an interesting detail i was thinking about

Backstory

Sora Muto is the sister of Yugi Muto. Ever since he completed the Puzzle, she has sometimes joined her brother and friends on their adventures. Other times, she chooses to stay home or stay on the sidelines. But she is fiercely loyal and protective of her family and friends. If anyone threatens them, she is not afraid to fight. Sometimes her bravery can get her into trouble but she bounces back every time. It was weird at first learning that a the spirit of a 5,000 year old Pharaoh was in the Puzzle but she got used to it over time. He had become a good friend and she was saddened to see him go but understood why he had to. She did her best to help her brother get through that. Currently, she is content with helping her family with the game shop while she decides what to do with her life. She still duels from time to time with her Synchro/Spellcaster deck.

(I don't know what else to put. If I'm missing anything, let me know please. Or if I think of something, I'll add it.)

[lexcellence]

For the most part, I don't question the crazy shit in GX, and specifically the crazy shit in Duel Academy, but if you stop and think about it for a few seconds you realize that not only did Seto Kaiba found and fund Queer Card Game Hogwarts (entirely in character) with a merit system based entirely on his own petty grudges (entirely in character)...

This nigga hired someone to teach alchemy at his card game school

[aberooski]

The fact that Slade and Jagger are so fucking petty that they went through all the trouble of going to SETO KAIBA and set up this whole match to try and buy out the school to then destroy it to take away Chazz's safe space and derail his entire education and potentially his whole future in the process just because Chazz didn't do exactly what they wanted during the school duel really just speaks to their character as people. Also let's not forget they're grown ass adults and he's a child.

Awful. They're awful.

[ap-kinda-lit]

Seto: Well good. I’m glad this will be a fair fight, like Rocky vs Apollo Creed.

Atem: Newsflash, Kaiba, Apollo beat Rocky.

Seto: Who said that I was Rocky, you fucking racist?

[alectoperdita]

@millenniumblog, I hope you don't mind me putting this into a new posts but I figured it will be easier since links are not converted in tumblr replies and you can't click through them. (Also tagging your YGO sideblog since you mentioned it).

Based on the preferences you expressed, I suggest the following fics as an entryway into my kaijou catalog.

First, the non-smut ones:

what follows us in the dark (Rated T/Complete/3,046 words) - Post-DSOD fic where an amnesic Kaiba returns to a post-apocalyptic Domino and runs into Jounouchi. Jounouchi is not happy to see him still alive.

Meeting upon the threshold (Rated T/Complete/2,691 words) - An alienated post-DSOD Kaiba hops into the wrong dimension and inadvertently meets a version of himself in an established relationship with Jounouchi.

Paper Tigers (Rated T/Complete/36,155 words) - Not technically shippy, but also not entirely gen as it's labeled. This is a murder mystery where Jounouchi investigates Kaiba as the main suspect. Manga-only characterization so they are extra prickly toward each other. Tensions aplenty.

Stay With Me (Series Rated T/Complete/71,320 words) - Okay, bear with me here, but this is a super old series of mine. It's, in fact, one of the first things I ever wrote and finished. "Dark," modern no Millennium Items AU, that starts with Seto having lost to Noa, who rules the company and the Kaiba family as a tyrant. Again, this is 2003 fandom dark, so there's character deaths and suicide (not of the boys, though).

The smutty morsels:

Caged (Rated E/Complete/6,025 words) - This is an AU of Lure, namely they're older and Kaiba doesn't have direct power over Jounouchi in the same way as he does in Lure. He is still awful and emotionally manipulative. I think this could be a good way of testing if Lure itself is to your taste. If after reading this, you find you crave more and wouldn't mind a very heavy master/pet relationship between an initially coercive Kaiba and semi-reluctant Jounouchi, then you might like Lure.

(IMPORTANT: Breathplay is a reoccurring kink that shows up throughout Lure. I've always done my best to tag it, and it's on five of the 22 fics in the series. The most egregious and heavy use of it appears in Karma's gonna come collect your debts (it's Kaiba asking to be choked out specifically). Hopefully, that means you can skip those specific fics if you give the series a try.)

Duelist's Pride (Rated E/Complete/16,146 words)- Consensual non-consent/rape roleplay with Kaiba as the "victim" and Jounouchi the "aggressor." Their scenarios are pre-negotiated outside the story, so it dives right into the fantasy and Kaiba's headspace on the receiving in. There are occasional consent check-ins, and aftercare is depicted. I think of this as "have your cake and eat it" fic because I've written much of the internal character POV/dialogue as if it's a non-con story, but you know going in that everything is consensual kinky fun.

Maybe it's more than skin-deep (Series Rated E/Complete/104,568 words) - The spiritual predecessor to Lure lol. Post-DSOD Kaiba and Jounouchi start hooking up after seeing each other for the first time in a decade. Their encounters get progressively kinkier, and Kaiba can't help but be a bit of his unhinged possessive self. Nothing too heavy in this series, as Kaiba is aware of some of his more intense qualities, but he still can't turn them off completely.

How I think most people actually got/get into my fics:

Side Deck (Rated M/Complete/146,641 words) - A post Duel Monsters anime getting-together fic that covers their last year of high school together. A slowly budding romance within a more slice-of-life context. Not-DSOD compliant, but heavy on the canon foundation. If nothing else, I think it's my most popular fic?

Mokuba's Future Possibilities

If there is one word I can use to describe Mokuba it would be potential. The kid in both anime and manga storylines is so full of it that the possibilities for what his future will be are pretty much endless. That being said, I'm going to go into some general concepts for that future, with concepts for the anime storyline, the manga storyline, or ones that work for both. These are ideas that either can be solo ones or can be combined together depending on plotting.

I also want to take a second to thank some of the folks who participated in discussions or plotting sessions in relation to some of these possibilities. Talking with mutuals is where a lot of the best ideas come out, so I have to send out thanks to everyone for doing that with me! So thank you @shachou @ofhardknoxxx @relevc @cyberends @apricotheart and anyone else I might have forgotten (Because my memory is horrible, forgive me.)! I appreciate all of you for discussing some of these with me! <3

Alright, let's get started!

The Capsule King (Manga mainly but could be for the Anime)

Mokuba has always been known as a champion of Capsule Monsters Chess. So, naturally, and similar to his bro, he'd strive to be at the very top of the game, to be the 'King of the Capsule Monsters' (also known as the Capsule King). This is one of the goals that Mokuba sets for himself during his high school, and he works very hard on his skills constantly. He has resorted to cheating in the past (especially in the manga verse). It's something he was not proud of and wants to rectify. It's why he starts at the local competition level, building to a regional, national, and then worldwide level. I imagine he meets many friends and rivals during his climb to the top (things I'd love to explore btw. Capsule Monsters OCs anyone?). Eventually he wins the world championship tournament (that I imagine KC-sponsored) and gains the title of Capsule King that he defends fiercely for years to come.

Game Tech Developer (Anime / Manga)

Considering his own gaming love and having his brother as a role model / inspiration, it's only natural Mokuba would want to try a hand at his own projects. The three ideas I currently have for projects he'd work on would have to do with something with Capsule Monsters Chess, a VR game similar to the Legendary Hero’s one from that arc, and a sorta triple hybrid game combining elements from Capsule Monsters Chess, Duel Monsters, and Buddyfight (his top 3 favs). These would be ideas he cooks up or makes prototypes or blueprints for all on his own without any help from anyone.

It would be a testament of Mokuba's growth in his own skills, and that he truly is capable of doing something on his own, proving assumptions or insults people (such as his stepfather) have made about him over the years were wrong. And it could become his full time role at Kaiba Corp depending on how things go as well.

Head Of Kaibaland (Anime / Manga)

Kaibaland is just as much Mokuba's dream as it is Seto’s, and he's had a big hand in it since its creation. Not only in terms of proposing ideas but also creating ride and merch concepts, testing rides, and reviewing guest satisfaction and feedback surveys. So it’s only fitting he’d move up as the leading figure for Kaiba Land when he’s old enough and ready. He takes the position very seriously, more so than anything he’s ever done. This is his and Seto’s dream. He can’t mess it up.

Such a change in role might require either frequent business trips overseas or relocation altogether, depending on things (anime or manga storyline, other plotting details, etc.). Whatever the case may be, I imagine in his role he’d be a very hands on figure. He’d want to oversee every aspect, from the big picture to the finest details. His creativity I can see leading the brand to new places and directions, perhaps even expanding into other related hospitality or destination realms such as cruising. He’d also add more variety of content into the parks with collaborations from other places and IP, such as perhaps collabing with Suzuha on a Buddyfight related attraction.

Mokuba would also definitely still collaborate with his bro or seek his opinion on things. This is still their dream, after all. Being in charge wouldn’t change that for him I think. Besides, if there if one thing Mokuba loves, it’s working with his bro on something they both care about.

Duel Academia Inspector (Anime)

Considering Duel Academia is one of his brother's most important post-anime verse developments, it's only fitting that Mokuba would have a part to play. While he would be too old to attend as a student or too busy / not qualified to be a faculty member, I like to imagine he plays the role of an inspector, coming to the school on occasion to see how things are running and report back to his bro.

He certainly has his own opinions about certain things he sees (like the school having no prom is an outrage) and he’ll make them known to the staff and the students. He’ll even pitch in to incorporate changes if needed. Like the Slifer Red Dorm? He’d so want that to be upgraded.

During these visits Mokuba will also be on the lookout for potential candidates both for KC but also to sponsor for the pro league. He has a good eye for talent so he def takes the chance to try and scout when he can.

Creator of Riding Duels As A Concept (Anime)

It was never stated who was the specific creative mind behind Riding Duels creation. We only know it was Kaiba Corp’s doing. The idea of ‘card games on motorcycles’ seems like something to me a creative genius like Mokuba would come up, combining two types of popular competitive sports (dueling and racing) into one experience.

Do I think it was realized in his lifetime? Probably not since I bet by 5D’s Mokuba is either retired or has passed on. But I do think it’s an idea that he has made and possibly would share with his bro that probably wasn’t fit for the current market but was revisited down the line.

So while he probably didn’t design the mechanics or the way the tech works, I do think the core idea was his that was later expanded upon. Like the image of his big bro riding a motorcycle with Blue-Eyes flying above is something he’d totally imagine and think: “Huh. I could be onto something.”

Family Man / Best Uncle Ever (Anime / Manga)

Now, while I currently do not have any romantic ships for my Mokuba (something I am open to discussing, as I am with romantic ships in general), I am 1000% convinced he will one day find a partner and get married, much more likely than his brother. Whether he would have kids (or adopt a kid) is something I don't know yet (but I say it's more likely than not tbh), but regardless, he'd be the best uncle to both Seto's kids (if he ever had any) or any of his friend's kids. One for sure example is with his friend Gao's two sons: Yuga and Haru. He spoils those kids rotten and does all he can to be there for him. Same would go for any other kids of his friends or brother. He's so family-oriented that this makes natural sense for him.

So if you all got any next gen YGO babies (like the lovely @aorigashi, who Mokuba adores already just from our plotting sessions ), throw them at Mokuba cause this man was built to be an uncle, okay.

LET HIM LOVE YOUR BABIES!!!

Bonus: CEO of Kaiba Corp (Manga mainly but could be for anime)

This is a future possibility I’ll tell you all Mokuba doesn’t want (he was not happy I decided to put this on this post I'm just saying). He wouldn’t ever want to take his brother’s position. He knows how much he’s built his life around it and how important it is to him. The only way he’d ever take it is if he had no choice…which would only be one thing really: If Seto died.

If his brother died before his time, such as because of his actions in DSOD for example, he’d of course take the role in his brother’s stead. And by that I mean he’d make it his whole life. He’d do all he could to be a stand-in for his brother. He would start to talk like him, dress like him, and adopt any of his habits. He would, in this essence, cease being himself, which is a future that I’d argue would be the worst for him out of any possibility. After all, what’s the point of being ‘Mokuba’ without Seto around.

This concept is the basis for an au idea I have, actually, and I’d be down to explore it if anyone’s down despite the angst fest it be.
