Yu -Gi-Oh! Theory: Seto Kaiba Invented Synchro Summoning

[@SpellCommander91]

I just want to respond to everyone commenting that Kaiba definitely survived Dark Side of Dimensions and that Takahashi confirmed it with the art piece featured here: yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Spherium?file=Kaiba_VS_Yugi_-_Spherium.png First off, thank you for watching the video and I hope you enjoyed. 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. -SpellCommander

[@guilhermevieira5035]

I've seen somewhere that Kaiba came back and, together with Yugi, created the Duel Links

[@luxtenax9175]

I don't want to come off as obnoxious, but whilst it's true that Takahashi hasn't given the movie a canon ending, it's still a fact that Kaiba did NOT die at the end. Why? because he had the Quantum Cube. See, in the prequel manga (TRANSCEND GAME) Kaiba had already figured out a way to reach the afterlife using not magic, but pure science; His Neurons project allowed him to focus the collective consciousness of people and use it to bridge our reality with that of the afterlife, but it was flawed and incomplete. Had Kaiba tried to reach Atem right there and then, he *would* have died. That's where the Quantum Cube comes in, that magical artifact allows Kaiba's science project to be stabilised and go from one reality to another without first killing him on the spot. And this is *very* relevant because it shows how much Kaiba has grown as a person. He no longer wants to depend on his technology and maths alone to do things, he is now open to the idea of using magic and taking leaps of faith in order to achieve things. It's something that is practically at the end of the movie when everyone is shocked when they realised Kaiba was right and Atem could come back once more. I'm just pointing this out because I'm getting tired of hearing people say that "omg Kaiba just killed himself to see the pharaoh!" when that's not at all what happened. It's true that Takahashi hasn't given a canon ending to the movie, yes, but if we go with the evidence presented in it, the least likely scenario would have been that Kaiba would deliberately kill himself just to see Atem when he had already rejected that option prior to the events of the movie.

[@thomas777803]

I choose to believe that Kaiba created one of the greatest breakthroughs in science and energy production just so he could add some new blue-eyes white dragons to his deck. It's just too funny, that I can't accept any alternate motivation.

@@krampusklaws2238 You are absolutely right. Not only in the show is it absolutely not for kids, it’s not for children. That’s just something really stupid a lot of people repeat because I think it’s funny. Dora the Explorer is a children’s show. Toy story and finding Nemo our family friendly shows. Just because children are capable of enjoying something it doesn’t mean it’s a children’s show or a children’s game. If this guy is interested in things for children he’s a weirdo. I’ve never seen children win nationals. I’ve never seen children drop $60,000 on a PSA 10 crush card virus lol it’s not insulting to me and I’m not offended or being defensive but I just think that’s incredibly stupid when people say that. It’s like when people say someone spending $2000 on a piece of cardboard. That’s like saying someone spent $100,000 on a rock because somebody bought a diamond. People just intentionally make something sound stupid or insignificant or childish but it just makes them sound dumb I think. It’s basically a strawman.

That all checks out. In the manga he created solid vision all so he could recreate the first shadow game he had with Yugi at the school and take revenge by giving him a penalty game. Even the duel disk system was only invented in the first place because he thought it'd somehow make Pegasus unable to use his mind reading.

[@PapaPodo]

I actually have a theory that 5Ds and Zexal happen simultaneously, additionally, I believe that while New Domino City is a Kaiba-controlled city, I believe that Heartland is a city founded and run by Pegasus until his eventual death, and that he invented Xyz summoning, because Heartland's aesthetic and the fun simplicity of xyz fit him so perfectly. And given the relationship between Kaiba and Pegasus, I think you can imagine why each of them would not allow the summoning method invented by the other into their own cities.

[@Goblin_Hands]

Yeah, I like the effort put into the video, but I think it is a bit optimistic. I don't think we have enough information to make these claims, it has nothing to do with the science, it's just that we don't even know if this is the same dimension seeing as they started to introduce others, like Zexal doesn't have Synchros for the real reason of Konami pushing product, and other than Pegasus existing in the Bonds Between Time movie, 5D's has little connection to the rest, we have no idea whether it is 50, 200, or 2000 years into the future, and it's funny that GX is only 10 years past the original DM series but has all of the cards before Synchros existed, so I guess card production basically became nonexisitant for 190 years. Kaiba was attacked in Season 4 of GX, we have no idea if he was killed, though Malefic Blue-Eyes is in the Bond Before Time, so somehow Kaiba lost only 1 of his dragons, but that is kinda strange because it is before Atem's ceremony, which makes it either non canon or ignorant of the DSOD movie. I'm used to none of the series or movies fitting in place, because Dragonball does this all the time. The video is well edited for the sake of arguing a point, I just don't think Konami really ever cared as much as its fans, which I am used to as well; The TCG rips off its player base compared to the OCG, in the end, we just want to play with cardboard.

[@quisetell]

@@Goblin_Hands 5D's has a decent connection to the original series and GX in the form of Trudge who appears in both the original and 5Ds while also being mentioned in GX, giving a relative time frame between YGO and 5Ds since he goes from being a teenager to being middle aged. DSOD is also only canon to the manga timeline of the first three series where Pegasus dies and Kaiba is less sane in general while anime GX and 5Ds continuation of the anime where Pegasus doesn't die when he does in the manga.

I feel like when it comes to Kaiba, he did both. He was originally just trying to figure out how to add new blue eyes to his deck, but he ends up discovering this unlimited power source by accident while doing so. That or vice versa. He could've been trying to just make this powerful source of energy in order to help Domino City, and the new blue eyes cards could just very well be a bi product that just so happened to be linked to said source of power.

[@uaeoaeoeoi]

Something that wouldn't surprise me is if Kaiba knew about inversion and that he designed the system to run on several overlapping systems so they could be powered down in rotation and restarted before the tipping point where the inversion becomes a problem and people later decided to just keep them running nonstop because it would be a cheaper way to get more energy out of them rather than building more of them as energy requirements in running cities grew.

[@dudebladeX]

I just kinda realized that all Extra Deck summoning methods reference some kind of energy. There's what you mentioned about Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz here, but Link monsters are basically the circuit that lets them connect to one another. Which I think is really interesting.

[@TheoJay615]

You can actually tie in the fusion mechanic with Duel Terminal as well. The Shadoll Fusion broke the physics of the world (with the result being greater than the sum of its parts)... This resulted in the "system" responding very badly. Unleashing Qlis and Infernoids to attempt a hard reset on the DT world.

[@ryank6160]

Yugioh 5ds had so many interesting scientific stuff lol, I also recently saw a history channel episode recently where they were talking about the carvings on the ground (Nazca Lines) that looked like the earthbound immortal outlines in the show, interesting stuff

[@SuperPuzzler]

As far as Yusei's name, it's actualy the other way around. You see, "yusei" is actually the Japanese word for "planetary". The Planetary Particle, or "Yusei Gear" in the Japanese anime, is the Synchro that gets things going, and Dr. Fudo named his son after this gear in the hopes that he would bring people together in much the same way.

[@VestedUTuber]

I want to one up one thing you've mentioned. Solidlight, or hardlight, isn't just in the realm of the theoretical. MIT has done multiple experiments using lasers to shoot photons into a highly dense cloud of gaseous rubidium at near absolute zero where the speed of light through the gas is 1/100000 of the speed of light in a vacuum. Doing so causes the photons to slow down to non-relativistic speeds, acquire mass (likely through interactions with the Higg's Boson), and even bond to each other. These experiments are effectively the "Chicago Pile" equivalent for solidlight technology - no practical use, but it proves the base concept. Based on naming conventions of exotic molecules made of subatomic particles, the scientific name for solidlight would be "photonium", similar to how molecules of bound neutrons are called "neutronium".

Just want to correct a few things regarding DsOD. First, Takahashi did confirm that Kaiba does return from the land of the dead and even drew art of him helping yugi playtest his new game. Also, his motive for dueling Atem was not "You beat me in a card game!" That was invented by the dub. Japanese Seto outright says: "I'm not doing this for something as petty as revenge." The reason he wanted to duel Atem is that they never got closure on their idealogical conflict of past vs future, and Kaiba in particular never got to truly say goodbye to his old rival and friend, as DSoD follows the manga timeline where Kaiba was NOT present for the ceremonial duel.

[@tigeriousseizer991]

Wow, this video is just, *chef’s kiss*, never thought i’d learn physics from a yugioh video. I did notice that you never talked about tuner monsters, and then got curious. I found that the definition of tuner is ‘something that receives and adjusts or configures (musical or electromagnetic) waves, or mechanical devices’, such as tuning into a radio station, tuning a musical instruments, or a cars. Both definitions could apply to synchro monsters. What if synchro summoning is one monster improving the other, ‘tuning it’ via the other kind of tuning, aligning and amplifying the energy of it via constructive interference when fusing with them? It would be overcoming the inefficiencies of fusion by combining them like waves instead of particles, which could be a clever way of exploiting the fact that particles and waves are two sides of the same coin on the quantum level, like how a ray of light is both a stream of particles and a wave. Particles of matter can also resonate with waves, like how sound can shatter glass! It even fits with the neo spacian experiments, since contact fusion is something they can do. That could be the prototype of synchro summoning. That would make synchro summoning still be fusion, even if exploiting the particle/wave duality and resonance, and since fusion emits particles and radiation as much as fission does, the conclusions you made based on it being fission aren’t changed by this alternate theory.
