Seto Kaiba ha no chill. He walked a fine line between being a hero and an outright villain and served every bit the anime's main ant-hero. Arrogant, vain, and powerful, Kaiba always wanted to become his way and spent virtually of his waking time looking after the interests of his mega empire, KaibaCorp, and for new opportunities to defeat his archenemy, Yugi Muto.

Kaiba talked a big game, and most of the time, he had the means to back his words up. He never watched his tongue; on the opposite, he allow it run loose. And he delivered burn after burn at the expense of the main heroes, mocking their wholesomeness, optimistic spirit, and tendency to salvage the world.

10 "My Kickoff Words Were Neutron Blast Attack"

During the anime's last arc, Kaiba travels back to the past and meets the Big Bad, Zork, face to face. Yet, being Kaiba, he doesn't believe the monster is real. Instead, he insists it's just another hologram like the ones his company excels at making.

Kaiba fifty-fifty gets sassy with Zork, telling it he isn't afraid of it. "I've been smacking around virtual monsters like you ever since I could talk!" He fifty-fifty states that his offset words were "Neutron Nail Attack," a moment that ranks equally one of his nigh extra.

9 "Nice Outfit, Dork"

Noah's Virtual Globe is a divisive arc in the series. Some fans enjoyed it, while others, like Kaiba, consider it "a complete waste of time and effort." Nevertheless, Noah was a competent and somewhat threatening villain who even bested Kaiba in a duel.

While watching the home videos that prove Noah is Gozaburo's biological son, Kaiba tin can't stop himself from mocking the other's apparel. The line is spiteful and unnecessary, proving that Kaiba knows he'southward a jerk and loves it.

eight "Give Him A Skillful Seat For The Next Duel"

The KC Grand Championship arc follows Zigfried von Schroeder's attempts to destroy Kaiba'southward reputation. Zigfried is entertaining to sentinel only is a rather incompetent villain who Kaiba easily beats.

During their duel before the Title'southward finals, Zigfried gives it his all while Kaiba barely breaks a sweat. In the end, non even Zigfried's Valkyries can get him the win, and Kaiba comes out on top. He leaves the loonshit, telling his employee, Roland, to become Zigfried a good seat for the final duel. He so laughs at his commentary, finishing the whole thing with a "Ha, funny."

7 "That's The Outset Sensible Thing He's Said All Week"

Leon faces Yugi during the Championship finals, revealing he's Zigfried's younger brother. Yugi, of course, wins, even after Zigfried highjacks the duel, trying to ensure Leon'due south victory.

Realizing in that location is nothing else to exercise, Zigfried falls to his knees and admits defeat, challenge he'll "never beat out Kaiba." Wanting to rub even more than salt in the wound, Kaiba smiles and agrees with him for the first time. More than one fan felt lamentable for the von Schroeder brothers, especially Leon, who deserved a chance to have a proper duel with Yugi.

half-dozen "Stop Saving The World And Get A Hobby"

Kaiba is notoriously cynical almost the many supernatural events that occur around him. He refuses to believe in destiny, no thing how many times he receives proof that it is, in fact, a real thing. He remains unconvinced of his office in the ancient story, even after traveling back to the past and seeing himself in his previous life.

This quote perfectly sums up Kaiba'southward grapheme. He says it to Yugi later the spiky-haired King of Duels tries to explicate the globe-ending stakes. And just like Yugi never gets tired of insisting on the existence and importance of destiny, Kaiba never stops denying it.

5 "And so, Take Whatever Dignity You Have Left And Become Lost!"

Kaiba has no kind words later on beating Zigfried during their duel. On the contrary, he goes out of his fashion to further humiliate his pink-haired enemy. Kaiba seems to particularly bask doing so in front of the hundreds of people around them, who watch Zifgried'due south defeat in shock.

When the older von Schroeder tells him that things aren't over between them, Kaiba tells him that his Life Points hit zero and "that's nigh as over as information technology gets." To end things off, he tells Zigfried to take his remaining dignity and leave, making the audience gasp at his ruthless beliefs.

4 "I Can't Believe The Little Barking Chihuahua Already Has 10 Star Chips"

EveryYu-Gi-Oh fan knows that Kaibahates Joey Wheeler. He goes out of his way to humiliate poor Joey, whom he considers a "third-rate duelist." For his role, Joey dislikes Kaiba'due south pretentious attitude merely doesn't take the immature heir's talent with words.

During the Duelist Kingdom arc, Kaiba travels to the island to recover Mokuba'due south soul. Pegasus instructs him to defeat Yugi if he wants his brother, prompting Kaiba to taunt Yugi until the King of Games accepts his claiming. He also takes the opportunity to mock Joey, suggesting he but got his star fries because Yugi "threw (him) a os."

three "Yugi Can't Duel His Way Out Of A Paper Bag"

During Yugi and Atem's formalism duel, Kaiba gets aroused at the discovery that ii separate entities are living inside the young duelist. He claims it'south unfair and that Yugi is unworthy of his Male monarch of Games title and stays and watches the duel simply to run into who of the two entities is the true duelist.

When Atem seemingly gets the upper hand on Yugi, Kaiba decides to leave, challenge "merely one of the ii Yugi twins inherited the dueling skills, so why fifty-fifty watch?" He, of course, ends up staying and even acknowledges Yugi is the Rex of Games after the young male child defeats all iii of Atem'due south Egyptian Gods.

ii "And Anyone Who'south Belatedly For Registration Will Be Disqualified. Mokuba, Make Certain Wheeler'south Belatedly"

Kaiba's pettiness knows no boundaries. During the One thousand Title arc, he states that the registration process is vital, and anyone belatedly will get disqualified. He and so instructs Mokuba to "make certain Wheeler's tardily," to Joey's visible anger and Mokuba's entertainment.

The abridged series has an even more hilarious take on this line, with Mokuba naming all the things that would be fabricated complicated by "making sure Wheeler'southward tardily" and Kaiba shooting him down, insisting on ensuring Joey's tardiness.

1 "You're A Tertiary-Rate Duelist With a Fourth-Charge per unit Deck"

Perhaps Kaiba's about infamous quote isn't a part of the original dub. Instead, Kaiba says information technology inYu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, a 2017 digital collectible carte du jour game for iOS, Android, and Windows. The quote is part of Kaiba'due south many lines, spoken when he wins a duel.

Many fans call up this quote refers to Joey. Indeed, it seems like the kind of affair Kaiba would say to describe the blonde duelist. Alas, it'due south just a generic line to refer to whatsoever duelist Kaiba beats in the game, just equally far as quotes get, it'southward one of his accented best.
