It is no secret within theYu - Gb - Oh!anime fandom that Seto Kaiba is the coolest fiber in the enfranchisement . From his style and acquisition to his intellect and attitude , Kaiba is unarguably a top - tier duelist . However , as test by one impressive accomplishment in the anime , Kaiba is really even cooler without Duel Monsters .

Seto Kaiba made his debut in the first installment ofYu - Gi - Oh ! , and initially , he was a villain . Kaiba challenge Yugi ’s grandfather , Solomon , to a affaire d’honneur and ticktack him , thereby winning the erstwhile military man ’s Blue - Eyes White Dragon identity card , and fight him to suffer a heart onset due to the stress of the situation . Not only was Kaiba an repulsive homo for terrorizing an old man like this , but he took thing one step further by tear up Solomon ’s posting right in front of him , even after knowinghow important the Blue - Eyes White Dragon is to Yugiand his kin . So , Yugi ( more accurately , Yami Yugi ) taught Kaiba a deterrent example by challenge him to a duel , where Yami Yugi playedall five Exodia cardsand obliterated Kaiba ’s Blue - Eyes White Dragons , kill him with a single move . After this defeat , Kaiba was deflate , but also a better man . Not only did Yami Yugi literally send off the iniquity within Kaiba to the Shadow Realm during their affaire d’honneur , but Kaiba experiencing defeat after such a dishonorable winnings was ripe for him , and that upshot led directly into his most redemptional ( and easy his cool ) mission inYu - Gi - Oh ! .

Kaiba is a World-Class Hacker in Yu-Gi-Oh!

InYu - Gi - Oh!episode 9 ( write by Junki Takegami , Masashi Sogo , and Shin Yoshida , and direct by Kunihisa Sugishima ) , Yugi is facing off against Ghost Kaiba ( the manifested evil that was cast into the Shadow Realm by Yami Yugi ) . Pegasus retrieved Ghost Kaiba to duel Yugi , and he knew he could do so convincingly because the genuine Kaiba was dead – or so Pegasus thought . Pegasus sent a few hitmen to drink down Kaiba , and when Kaiba seemingly jump to his death to deflect his luck , the hitman believed their job was done . However , Kaiba merely faked his own death before retreating to his underground bunker , where a sentient supercomputer was there waiting for him . With it , Kaiba manages to do a pile of price to the enemy that tried to pop him , while simultaneously help his newfound ally / rival , Yugi – all without playing a single carte .

Using his hacking skill , Kaiba is able to break down the reckoner organization on Pegasus ’ island , Duelist Kingdom , both in the real world and in cyberspace . Kaiba takes over one of Pegasus ’ satellites in outer space and physically doss down it into his servers on Earth , weakening Pegasus ’ systems on the island . This left Pegasus without any cybersecurity , allowing Kaiba to virtually saunter through Pegasus ’ mainframe unencumbered . Once there , Kaiba manipulated Ghost Kaiba ’s holo computer during his affaire d’honneur with Yugi , thereby weaken his monsters and helping Yugi defeat his malevolent alter - ego .

Kaiba read down one of the most knock-down duelists in the cosmos from his computer , and he did so in unfeigned early-2000s hacker vogue . Plus , throughout all that badassery , Kaiba did n’t pick up a single Duel Monsters card , and alternatively relied on his skills and understanding to combat a dangerous foe . Before this , fans have only learn Kaiba miss to Yugi while being a Brobdingnagian jerk to his grandpa . But here , Kaiba is shew that he ’s really a really coolYu - gilbert - Oh!character , and he proved it without Duel Monsters .
