Actually it’s implied in the anime that the anime god cards are immune to traps and spell cards. They’d be OP in the TCG if they had the anime effects with Ra being so OP it’d damn near make a new tier for the ban list. So if that movie ran on the version of the god cards we have then well... They wouldn’t be a threat. Trap and spells would work so a simple Raigeki or Dark Hole would clear the field of them. Not to mention monster effects would work on them.

It was when Kaiba first stole Sugoroku's Blue Eyes and Dark Yugi challenged him to a game of darkness and the monsters were brought to life with magic, giving Kaiba the inspiration to create holographic projectors for the game. It also happened in Season 0, but the difference was that Kaiba pulled one last move, ending the duel in draw and making his escape vowing revenge on Yugi. But in the manga, Dark Yugi actually crushed Kaiba after Kaiba attempted to cheat and punished him by turning him into a card and having him feel the sensation of death by being torn apart by the monsters. That was the first win for Yugi. Then came the duel with Exodia, then the Duelist Kingdom one which clearly was Yugi's (or more specifically Atem)if it hadn't for Kaiba's suicide attempt, and lastly Battle City.

Even Kaiba doesn't read his cards... We welcome you brethren 🤘 Edit: (around 16 min mark, return from the different dimension says *your* monsters.) Could be different in the anime effect but i think he used R.D.D. against Zigfried Von Schroeder.

[@Ahloveyafuhso]

it was dimension fusion not Return from the different dimension.

[@RobertBrown-qo8rj]

You forgot one more detail on return from a different dimension. It’s effect only lasts until the end phase of the turn it’s played.

[@northernskow3443]

And even if that were not the case, god cards can only be brought back for one turn at a time.

[@amberknight7301]

Either way, Kaiba would just use Obelisk's effect or Ra's effect, which can get him the win in that one turn.

[@timtam2400]

There's another mistake that I've kind of known about which I imagine most people already know. Deck Destruction Virus can only be activated when a Fiend is destroyed. And Peten is a Spellcaster. So Kaiba could not technically activate it.

[@GAMEFAN27]

The card only says fiend in the English version. In the Japanese version you only need a dark monster.

Technicly Kaiba could also just activate Ra effect and Burn Atems Monsters Down. Even tho I am not sure how many Life points he had left... So there are one, maybe 2 duels total. Kaiba legit won against the real Pharao. Edit: About how Kaiba wanted to win... Well.. Its just fitting for him... IT is how this charakter is made.

Actually, Kaiba's opening play is a move of pure genius and very Kaiba, worthy of his - let us not forget - immense intellect! He is a Grade A genius, remember! He invented the Duel Hologram System after his first Duel with Yugi, which was a Shadow Game of Duel Monsters (albeit known as Magic and Monsters back then)! Plus, you've got to love Eric Stuart's performance, on point as usual!

[@kidkatanatv]

I will always like the fact the cards are so detailed. I respect it.

[@YumiSparkles]

I do like this analysis, but I do think there's one thing that wasn't considered: With all of Yugi's cards in the Graveyard, he could potentially have some Graveyard effects that could let him win the duel I know in at least one instance he used the card Electromagnetic Turtle, so there's a small precedence for it, not that Turtle would have won him the duel, but it's possible he has something else that could have But either way, Kaiba was totally in control that entire duel, and it is hard to see how Yugi would have won without some powerful new card he had never used before showing up (Also I'm disappointed he tributes the 3 Knights for Slifer, it would have been way more hype to see Arcana Knight Joker)

[@Defi4nc3s1]

I think, he didn't have electromagnetic turtle in, since at that time his deck matches to Atem's playstyle. Remember whenever they show Yugi on his own, the playstyle is different because he has different types of cards. (ex: Final Duel). The Arcana Joker might not even be made at this point of events. But wishful to be used.

[@PURPLE_G0J0]

I remember trading one of my friends for Sorcerer of Dark Magic way back in the mid 2000s because I thought it was so cool.

[@brandongreen4439]

Something I see overlooked in this duel analasys is precisely the Dark Clowns. Even if Kaiba didn't want to use them to attack, using them as tributes to Obelisk's effect and ensuring he had all 3 gods on the field staring down Yugi for game is a Kaiba move. EDIT: This qwould be AFTER he uses the card he'd summon the gods with, of course, which has all banished monsters. Because this is not Duel Links or Duel Terminal, we have 5 monster slots to use, 3 for the gods, 2 for the clown, 1 Obelisk effect for game.

@@willfanofmanyii3751 That's in the dubbed version, which altered the original dialogue. In the japanese version Kaiba went to Pegasus to find a way to give his Blue-Eyes more power. Kaiba knew about the new card because he was observing Pegasus via his information network. Pegasus admits that the card is indeed completed, but wouldn't give it to Kaiba because he doesn't have enough heart. To prove him wrong, Kaiba bets his three Blue-Eyes by ante rule in a duel.

Honestly if kiaba wanted to really win (and had a stacked hand) Turn 1: summon familiar knight. Set the 3 virus cards he has in the deck. Turn 1y: when yugi attacks familiar knight use crush card, virus cannon, and deck destruction virus (chain in reverse order i listed) destroying all the spells and monsters with more then 1500 (i think) attack points. Thats 2/3 then deck destruction triggers taking another 10 cards. Yugi has drawn 6 cards. 7 if he wants until after jacks knight which means. Turn 2: activate graceful charity forcing yugi to draw to 6. Duel.

[@nightruler666]

And deck destruction only works with fiend monsters peten the dark clown is a spellcaster

[@jpopaldana]

We have to keep in mind that the problem with dueling against Yugi (Atem) is that he plays with his millennium item, the Millennium Puzzle. In addition to hosting the spirit of the pharaoh, it has the power to change destiny in his favor one way or the other. This is what allows him to win duels with almost impossible odds. This is probably why neither Kaiba nor the duel system accounted the extra dragon card in Kaiba's graveyard, and if Yugi survived with just one card, it would've been the one to turn the entire duel around and win.

[@epicmike2055]

6:40 The correct words to follow those 2 statements were "but he's Seto Kaiba." Those words perfectly describe his character! As a side note, I think it would have been cool for them to have Kaiba actually beat Yugi, only to have Anubis say that is was because of him or with his help. It would still be a canon win for Kaiba, but not one that his ego would accept. So he'd still pine after another clean win.

Kaiba. could’ve won if he had been able to summon Spear Dragon, but the effect of Card of Demise discarded it during the Standby Phase. Also, you forgot the god cards go to the graveyard at the end of the turn they were special summoned, so Kaiba could’ve gotten rid of Yugi’s monsters but he would’ve had no cards left. Yugi would’ve drawn Reverse of Reverse but we have no clue what Kaiba would’ve drawn. If Kaiba didn’t draw a monster he would’ve passed and Yugi would’ve drawn Double Spell, bring back his sorcerer and attack for game. The whole not counting Paladin is pure shenanigans, maybe when being developed Paladin was supposed to be a warrior but ended up becoming a dragon in the end, which would explain them not counting.
