Happy Birthday, Kaiba Seto!!

🎲Happy Birthday, Kaiba Seto!🎲



Now is Kaiba Seto's turn for a little analysis, I have always intended it but kept delaying it, last year I was still in the dumps about the loss of Kazuki Takahashi.

I will summarize, Kaiba Seto to me was and is a character went from one my favourites to feel pretty neutral, I don't dislike him and his writing is great, however I will say that I think he is one of the most important and influencial characters in the series as well in the franchise itself.

 
 
Kaiba's character introduction is very interesting, I do like these kind of introductions in a story to be honest, when you read the two chapter when he was introduced (volume 2, chapter 9-10), when you think through about this scene in particular, it sounded like he came to the store with a different purpose since it seemed like it was the first time, also Kaiba initiated talking with Yugi first and treated as if the others didn't exist...

And later with Mokuba introduction, Death-T arc, the lengths that he goes to get BEWD as well to be the best gamer, to prove himself as such, he must have heard rumors of Yugi and Dark Yugi, as well tracking down the other BEWD, by this time I would say Kaiba already saw Yugi as a rival even before meeting Dark Yugi.



Before getting to the highlights of his character development and particular details about his character, this one of those, Kaiba's character bases on a real person, a random person that the mangaka's friend met behaved in similar manner as seen in this panel above, said something along the lines "we'll talk once you get 1000 cards", Kaiba still has an elitist atitude and kept at it for a long time, even in Dark Side of Dimension, it still hadn't toned down much...
