im a SUCKER for Kaiba's 5 millennia accumulated guilt manifest into overprotective behavior over Kisara. the strongest moments hes tied to his past as Seth, remembering, feeling etc would be because of her or BEWD, those moments are when Set and Seto feel like 1 very long life, like when youre reminded of kindergarten friends, or the air of your elementary school winters. heavy heart until you shake it off

Snippet
“I am also able to report on the status of the wagers. The two cards that have been entered into the betting pool are Blue Eyes White Dragon–” the Commissioner’s eyes swung to Kaiba, “–and Red Eyes Black Dragon–” and then to Jonouchi. “I certify that both cards meet the requirements for the wager.” 
“Ey!” Jonouchi grinned, jabbing him with his elbow. “Matchy, matchy.” 
“Don’t touch me,” Kaiba quipped. 
“Both duelists are aware that a loss will result in the forfeit and ownership transfer of their wager. I would now like to invite Jonouchi Katsuya to call the coin toss. At your ready, sir.” And then the Commissioner stood still before them with a golden KaibaCorp token balanced atop his thumbnail: an embossed KC logo for heads and an engraved king chess piece as tails. 
“Fuck, I’ve been nailing these toss calls all day,” Jonouchi said with a grin. “What do you think it’ll be this time, Commish?”
“Your decision, sir.” 
Jonouchi threw back his head and laughed. “Alright, fair, I walked into that one.” His tongue darted over his lips for a moment before he worried his bottom lip in between his teeth. He squinted at the coin as though he was concentrating very hard, and then nodded. 
The coin sailed upwards and flipped, gold and pretty, within the air. Jonouchi craned the long column of his neck so his face was upturned, open and hopeful under the coin’s countless rotations. He looked star-struck, mouth barely parted, eyes trailing the turns as gravity bore it down. And then he must have spied something– Jonouchi looked completely convinced of something, for just a split second– and his eyes narrowed in triumph and he smiled, turning his gaze to Kaiba. “Heads I go first.” And then his hand darted out to snatch the coin from the air. 
Jonouchi hid the coin in his clenched fist, held between their faces. His dark eyes were daring him to something. Everything in Kaiba stirred as if to meet it, but then he tore his gaze away to give the Commissioner a questioning look. “Surely this is breaking some kind of rule.”
The Commissioner looked to Kaiba, and then Jonouchi. “No, this is unusual… but not in breach.” Jonouchi’s smile, wolfish now, only widened. 
“Whaddaya say, Kaiba?” Kaiba’s eyes trailed over Jonouchi’s face as he continued taunting him. “Think I’ll win again?” 
“I don’t care.” 
Jonouchi gave him that lopsided grin again and made a fist with his other hand as well, drawing the skin on the back of the hand taught and flat. He rested the coin on it. 
KC face-up, the king buried and resting against his skin, below.
Jonouchi’s eyebrows flashed. “I win.”

Serenity and Kisara are may the same person?
Tumblr media
Some Silentshippers speculate that Serenity and Kisara could be the same person. And the artist Setsunakou has also taken up this idea in her artworks. Among others in this picture. ~*~ L O O K: Both have those trademark eyes that Kishimoto uses for most of his female characters. Mai and Ishizu, for example, have different eye shapes that make them look a little more grown-up. Important to note: Serenity's previous design even had blue eyes, like Kisara.
Tumblr media
Now let's get to the hair. As you can see from Seto and Mahad, the incarnated people do not necessarily to have exactly the same appearance. Seto's Egyptian version has longer hair and Mahad, as a magician, has a different hair color. So Kisara's incarnation may have shorter hair and a different hair color. The fact that Serenity doesn't have her hair on her face isn't a sign that she couldn't be Kisara. Look here:
Tumblr media
The old version of Joey Wheeler had the same parted hair as Serenity. In the new version they fall in his face. When Akiza from 5D's opens her hair, it looks almost exactly like Kisara's. So if Serenity put her hair over her face, she would look almost exactly like Kisara. C H A R A K T E R: Let's try to assign character traits to the two. Serenity: Good-natured, gentle, a little naive, compassionate, shy, vulnerable, have her inner strength, optimistic, fragile. Kisara: Mysterious, lonely, shy, calm, sometimes a little self-confident. Ine the manga more passive, lonly and tired of life.
I looked for the characteristics from the relevant wikis. So they are not mine. Kisara and Serenity seem pretty weak at first glance. Seto even had to save Kisara twice, because she didn't know how to help herself. Serenity, on the other hand, is very attached to her big brother and lets him protect her. Tristan also sacrificed himself for her in the duel against Nezwitt in the virtual world. Both are quite shy and reserved, even seem a little fragile. Both are very gentle and have their inner strength that comes out in crucial moments. The differences Serenity seems to be cheerful, naive and a little more dependent than Kisara. On the other hand, Kisara makes a rather mysterious and lonely impression. But that also has to do with how they grew up. Serenity always had the protection and love of her mother and brother. Kisara, on the other hand, seemed to have had no one. Especially since she was captured by slave traders, stoned and had to fight alone against monsters. If Kisara had grown up as sheltered as Serenity, her character would not have been any different. S E T O ` S R E A C T I O N: I'm talking about Seto Kaiba here, not Priest Seto. Just to be able to classify it. When he met Kisara, he was extremely shocked because he recognized her from a vision of himself. He had this vision after Battle City and the Virtual World. When he meets Serenty, he reacts quite calmly, indirectly fulfills his request and his gaze rests on her for quite a long time. So it could be that he subconsciously recognized her but couldn't place her. As I said, he only knew Kisara from one of the visions he had after his meeting with Serenity. ~*~ It will probably remain just a theory. But to me it makes perfect sense. What do you think about that?

The full post, everyone!
In ancient Egypt, the color green was considered a sacred color. It was associated with life, death, the natural world, religion, and rebirth. These themes are also very relevant to the two green-haired characters in Yugioh, Noa Kaiba and Seto Kaiba (in his season zero/early manga iteration)
Life and death are fairly straightforward. Both Noah and Seto experienced death, and yet did not die. Noah died physically and yet lived on in the DIGITALWORLD, and Seto died mentally due to his penalty game, though his physical body was mostly unharmed. Both associate winning with life and freedom, and losing with death. In the end, Seto transcends reality to enter the afterlife, and Noah accepts death as it was always meant to happen. They also both see violence as a survival strategy, which leads into the natural world.
Both Kaiba brothers, for their talk about ascending and computerlike minds, operate on very animalistic instincts. Both have an incredible survival drive, and are willing to do anything to protect themselves or the ones they care about. For instance, Noah beliving if he were to kill Seto and the others he would be able to escape and live as a human again, or Seto in the rooftop scene, desperately gambling with his last chance, as he saw it was the only option to save the brother who kept him going. However, they both also show a distinct leaning away from said natural world, either by choice or by circumstance. Noah is trapped inside a computer that slowly degrades his humanity, and Seto engrossed himself inside of fantasy games and technology that rivals any great miracle (he even bragged so himself).
Religion is another theme they share. Noah's more direct symbolism pulling from many cultures, including the tree of life he was shown with, Noah's Ark, angels, but most importantly, Noah shows religious guilt and religious trauma, in an indirect way. Pleading to a face in the sky, asking "Why wasn't I good enough to go with you". Seto is the opposite. Seto killed his "god" and would happily do it again. He even told Yami/Atem that "if God stands in you way, bring God down!" Seto denies all possibilities of magic and faith, until the bitter end, even though he becomes a godlike figure in his own right (making things from nothing, connecting almost all of mankind, TRANSCENDING DEATH and/or TIME), and worshipping Atem as a distant God he can never "knock down" (his hologram of him is IN A CHURCH, it isn't stuble)
Rebirth, likewise, isn't stuble. Noah found rebirth in the DIGITALWORLD, a parody purgatory of life after death. And he also found a rebirth of the soul, as his interactions with Mokuba sparked a return of his dead and dormant humanity again. Seto…Firstly Seto rose from poverty and cast aside his name to become a powerful figure with a new life, in a metaphorical rebirth. He also has died multiple times due to various shadow penalties (the illusion of death where he died and was resurrected ad nauseum for eight hours comes to mind specifically), and always bounced back. And of course, he ventured to the paradise of the dead to return his lost Atem to life. He was the Orpheus who didn't look back, because he refused to look back all his life, and it was all building up to something in the end.
Both of these characters have or have had at some point, green hair. However, it's more complex than that. Noah's hair is closer to teal, a mix of blue (which is the color of the ocean and also associated with technology) and green, symbolising how he's slightly to the left of those things, a perversion of the natural cycle, even, a rather unsettling interruption of nature. Noah's teal symbolises the blending of technology into something supposed to be natural, and taking over it, as the color leans much closer to blue. Seto's hair is commonly interpreted as dyed, as in that he created his own versions of these cycles with man-made materials, as he always had a tendency to do. Both green haired Kaiba brothers show different variations on a theme, different formats of a line. Perhaps, even, different shades of a color.

Alright, okay, playing Secret World Legends, picked up the "Dear Reader" side mission to collect scattered pages from an upcoming Sam Krieg novel. Got knocked back in a shadowy flutter of wings, as ya do. Clearly something did not want me to have those pages yet...but maybe the something is friend-shaped! So I said aloud, "Hello?" And not two seconds later, from the hella-haunted building the pages were next to (which is emanating old radio and nigh-indiscernible vocalizations), a clear voice in the exact same
"Hello?"
Echoes back to me.
And look, I've got a pretty solid grasp on reality, I know the game is fictional. But sometimes...

I noticed something interesting...
Tumblr media
Although fact that name is clearly inspired by Egyptian mythology.... god Seth. However, should I translate Kaiba's name as "shallow human"?
Another issue is that the name can be written in 3 other ways:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
My theory: I think the choice of characters wasn't accidental. After all, Seto is a character inspired by a person who annoyed KT. Why didn't they have a reason to choose just such characters for his name for a kind of "revenge"? (I would probably do that myself XD)
I don't think anyone can deny that he is a character with a very complex personality. If it's the master's Takahashi sense of humor, I appreciate it very much (:
On the other hand, the use of the character 人(human), along with a name overtly applicable to a deity gives one pause for thought....
●Seto Kaiba despite the fact that he tries to portray himself as a God, Messiah, who saves and rules the entire world of duelists. A person who has power over the souls of the inhabitants of Domino City... is still just a man who has both advantages, disadvantages, weaknesses and fragile body.
I hope you will find it interesting. I'd love to hear what you guys think about it.
On the subject of writing the name, I used this source
I'm aware that Japanese names aren't as easy to explain as European names. In the case of Japanese names, I have encountered the claim that only the parent who gave the name has full knowledge of why them chose it.

sometimes I think about mokuba carrying seto's briefcase in battle city like seto gives his baby brother a) a job so he feels important and valued and b) three weeks after mokuba was kidnapped and held hostage he is tasked with holding arguably seto's most valuable items ensuring that he won't ever be far from seto and seto is guaranteeing in a real physical sense that he'll always be aware of where mokie is and that's how you know I think too much about this damn show

Yu -Gi-Oh! Theory: Seto Kaiba Invented Synchro Summoning youtube comments 
The ending of the movie is left intentionally ambiguous and Takahashi has not confirmed either possibility. He specifically said that his illustration represents, "...just one possible future story." There is no canonical answer to whether or not Kaiba lived or died at the end of the film and likely will not be unless NAS, Konami, and Studio Bridge ever decide to use the character again in a future movie or series. This theory video is based on one interpretation of the film's ending. If Kaiba lived in your head canon, enjoy! I hope he Blue-Eyes'd the hell out of some people. But anyone leaving profane tirades in response to someone else's interpretation will be deleted.   Kaiba didn't die, that pod simulates a near death experience by forcing insane G forces on him so that he can enter the afterlife.  But since he isn't truly dead he's slowly fading back into the mortal world that's why he has that ash floating off him

KaibaCorp Dreams of Another World
May 28 
“It’s not a question of what’s next. It’s what’s happening right now. Right in front of you.”
These are the words from the seventeen-year old visionary Seto Kaiba, known worldwide as the reigning Duel Monsters champion and CEO of KaibaCorp (TSE:KBA). His advice seems perfect for this moment: he is standing right in front of a gigantic dragon. It is screaming and ready to attack and he is fearless. 
The creature in question is one of three in the world that belong to the young CEO: Blue Eyes White Dragon, a rare Duel Monsters card and the star of KaibaCorp’s impromptu demonstration of its latest project: Scheherazade.
Named after the fabled storyteller of “One Thousand and One Nights,” Scheherazade is as much a technological marvel as it is a philosophical leap forward. The platform creates immersive worlds drawn from both written stories and players’ own memories, merging fiction and reality into a seamless experience. A combination of machine learning, memory recall, and advanced simulation technology allows the system to respond and adapt for real-time, constant immersion. While virtual reality has been evolving steadily over the past decade, Scheherazade’s memory integration takes it to another level, with unprecedented possibilities for storytelling, education, and, of course, gaming. 
Its most immediate application will be for duelists, offering fully interactive Duel Monsters matches in an arena where the creatures seem to step out of the cards and into life. Industry insiders speculate that this move could put KaibaCorp at the forefront of both gaming and virtual reality, potentially outpacing rivals like Industrial Illusions (NYSE:ILL) and Meta (NASDAQ: META).
This is the latest in the bold new direction forged under young Kaiba’s leadership, which transformed KaibaCorp from an arms contractor to a tech powerhouse, pioneering innovations at the intersection of telecommunications, augmented reality and entertainment. KaibaCorp’s origins date back to the post-World War II era when it rose to prominence as a leading arms manufacturer, standing just behind global defence giants like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: NOC). The company’s previous success in the defence sector is often credited to the founding family’s deeply personal experience with war: Ryu Kaiba, KaibaCorp’s founder, served in Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service during Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbour. The war also impacted his son, the late Gozaburo Kaiba, who was one of the 650,000 survivors of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. 
The latter half of the twentieth-century saw KaibaCorp as a bastion of military technology, supplying weapons to governments around the world. Yet the company was perpetually mired in controversy, and a frequent target of political outcry for its contributions to war and conflict. Protests frequently accompanied its business dealings, which placed it at the centre of public debate about the ethics of arms dealership. It is speculated that mounting pressure and dwindling public support factored into the shocking suicide of Gozaburo Kaiba, who jumped to his death from the KaibaCorp headquarters during a meeting with the company’s board of directors. 
This tragedy would make it the third time Seto Kaiba had lost a parent. Gozaburo Kaiba adopted both the current KaibaCorp CEO and his younger brother, KaibaCorp’s Senior Manager of Technology Operations, Mokuba Kaiba, following the deaths of their parents. Their mother died of eclampsia while giving birth to Mokuba, and their father was killed in a car accident in the infamous Izumo Earthquake Disaster.
Seto Kaiba succeeded Gozaburo as CEO of KaibaCorp at fifteen, making him the youngest person to ever lead a billion-dollar company. His youth left him no shortage of ideas, and he set the company on course for a seismic shift in focus. He went on a buying spree, absorbing a staggering number of promising computer technology companies in his first quarter as CEO. He also terminated operations at KaibaCorp’s global weapons testing centres and completely divested the company from projects supporting armed conflict. These actions led KaibaCorp to several high-profile lawsuits for defaulting on its contracts and sales agreements. These disputes were settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.     
Between the payouts, acquisitions and lack of customers, KaibaCorp was teetering on financial ruin. The company was saved with Kaiba’s most notable innovation: SolidVision, the holographic projection technology that brought Duel Monsters to life. This was followed by the Duel Disk, a revolutionary p2p interface that allowed duelists to compete in real-time holographic battles, becoming a staple for competitive players across the world. These commercial successes catapulted KaibaCorp into global fame and made Duel Monsters a cultural phenomenon, while signalling KaibaCorp’s new mission: to create, not destroy.
This pursuit has now brought KaibaCorp to the verge of another groundbreaking moment. Scheherazade, set to roll out this summer, will first be available at stadiums and theme parks before making its way into homes through a specialised hardware release. Duelists and VR enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the chance to immerse themselves in the fully realised worlds this technology promises to deliver.
In many ways, KaibaCorp’s evolution is as poetic as it is fascinating. What was once a company defined by its contribution to destruction is now positioned to offer the world a new way of seeing itself, through stories, memories, and duels. 
“This is just the beginning. Scheherazade isn’t just a virtual space—it’s a new frontier for human imagination. It’s the bridge between what we can dream and what we can live.”
And in that, perhaps, lies Kaiba’s greatest victory: transforming a company of war into one that makes dreams reality.
______
The article featured two captioned pictures. Duel Monster Blue Eyes White Dragon, rendered in Scheherazade: a still of him pulled from the testing zone broadcast, looking up at Blue Eyes White Dragon. He was surprised at the lack of fear on his face– the light from the White Lightning Attack had washed every emotion into brightness. He was just vacant, ready, waiting.  He was more expressive in the second photograph: Father and son. One of the last before Gozaburo’s death. The man had a hand on his shoulder and was sneering down at him. Kaiba, fifteen, slanted his face to return his contempt, the corner of his mouth barely lifted in a matching, cruel smirk.

Some of the songs on the DP & Wolvie movie OST won’t be making it to my music playlist. Promo videos for the film had songs that SHOULDA been on the OST. “Like A Prayer” was the only one that was heard from Promo Video to Film.
