Kaiba quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh!

[thinking] I can't believe my associates would turn on me after a single defeat. Then again losing to Yugi since he had lost myself too.

[thinking] Looks like Wheeler's dumb luck saved him again. And I empathize dumb. But what happened to Marik's Egyptian God card? Why didn't it attack? I know there wasn't a glitch in his duel disk because I've spared no expense to make sure my equipment is problem-free. That card should have worked unless… his card was a fake!

WHERE ARE YOU! MOKUBA! I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! CAN YOU HEAR ME! MOKUBA! [his echoes shouted]

You lose, stepfather!

[thinking] I must admit, Wheeler's performance today was quite impressive. Perhaps he's not the third rate amateur I thought he was.

Joey

Hey, Seto Kaiba, maybe we should duel sometime.

No thanks, I think I'll have much more of a challenge playing solitaire.

Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi!

My Grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba. But it does contain... the unstoppable Exodia!

Argh! Impossible!

I've assembled all five special cards... all five pieces of the puzzle!

Exodia? It-it's not possible! No one's ever been able to call him!

Exodia, obliterate!

I'm warning you, Kaiba. Don't push me too far. I must win to rescue my grandfather.

And I must win this duel to rescue Mokuba. The difference is, I'm willing to risk anything to do it. You know I can stand up here all day, Yugi. And I'm certain that you won't make any attack for fear that you might knock me off. Even though you know by not attacking, you give up the only chance you have to save your grandpa. Which means I have the advantage over you, for in my case there's nothing holding me back.

Ishizu

Kaiba, do you believe in destiny?

Does it matter?

Ishizu

Ancient Egyptians thought that the true path of one's life is predetermined because history repeats itself throughout the ages in a neverending circle. They would say it was not your choice to come here for it was destined for the two of us would meet.

Look, all that nonsense may interest you, but I didn't come here for Egyptian history 101. I came here because you said it will be worth my while, but it looks like you're wasting my time. If there's a point to all of this, let's get to it already, I have a company to run. You said you have a exclusive offer for me.

I know everything about Duel Monsters and there is nothing like Exodia. So quit the charade and tell me what's going on.

Ishizu

All in good time, Kaiba. Duel Monsters is based upon a 5000-year-old game, it was played by Ancient Egyptians for power and was extremely dangerous.

Who cares?

Ishizu

Maximillion Pegasus did, he fell in love with the game and decided to reinvented for modern times.

What's your point?

Ishizu

I get it, unbeknownst to most duelists. Pegasus created a series of all powerful cards that were never released to the public. It was no surprise that he kept the best monsters for himself.

Ishizu

I've secured the most precious artifacts here. We've recovered stone carvings that depict the earliest known games played in Egypt. I'm sure you'll find it most familiar. Kaiba, behold the origin of Duel Monsters!

It can't be... These carvings look like Duel Monsters Cards! Then that means your story is true!

Ishizu

I see you've come to your senses. Furthermore there's a theory that in ancient times these monsters were real. Egyptian sorcerers summoned monsters to earth to do their bidding, but they soon realized that the monsters could not be control. They destroyed villages and brought earth to the brink of destruction. The citizens turned to the pharaoh for help, though he could not defeat the monsters. He managed to use his magic to seal them away in stone tablets and brought peace to the world. However, overtime evil sorcerers learned how to control the monsters and released them from the tablets. With their army of powerful monsters, the sorcerers were confident that no one could stand in their way. They betrayed the pharaoh and wage an all-out war against him. This is the one you must look at.

Hm?

Ishizu

This carving is the reason I called you here tonight. It depicts one of the main conflicts in the war between the pharaoh and his greatest opponent, closely examine this artifact. After this moment, Kaiba, your life will never be the same.

[sees the Pharaoh figure that looks like Yugi] That's the Pharaoh?! But, that's Yugi! And the monster carved above him is the Dark Magician!

Ishizu

On the left is the sorcerer fighting against him. [Kaiba is shocked to see that the pharaoh's greatest opponent is none other than an ancient Egyptian version of himself] That's you, Kaiba! If you still have any doubt, look at his monster. It's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Ishizu

The hieroglyphics read that the mighty sorcerer marched into the Pharaoh's chambers and challenged him and his legion of loyal magicians to a legendary duel with the fate of the world at stake. The Pharaoh accepted the sorcerer's challenge, and their epic battle began. Today, five thousand years later, the this epic battle is played out once again. Do you see? Now do you believe in destiny, Kaiba?

This is ridiculous! This piece of rock has got to be a fake!

Ishizu

If you won't trust my word, then you must see into the past and glimpse a part of the battle firsthand, which I can help you do with my Millennium Necklace. Now, open your mind and see into the past!

Ishizu

The duel raged on with neither side showing any mercy. They summoned monsters that were increasingly more powerful and dangerous. The winner of the duel is written here, but as you can see, the hieroglyphics have been worn away.

I see.

Ishizu

But although we do not know the outcome, we can deduce who was victorious.

Mokuba

That's weird. Seto.

Hmm?

Mokuba

The tournament surveillance system just lost track of Yugi Muto! He's disappeared!

He's disappeared? Impossible! Make sure the satellite link is working, now. [thinking] Yugi's duel disk sends out a constant ID signal, so wherever he is, his signal's being blocked somehow. But I'll find him.

Looks like we have no choice.

That's right.

Our enemies are one and the same!

Mm-hmm.

But make no mistake. I'm in this for Mokuba. When it comes to rescuing your friends, you're on your own now, Yugi.

Fine, Kaiba.

Before the fun begins, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Lumis!

I am Umbra!

You defeated us once before, but I assure you, you won't be so lucky in this duel.

And if we do, then you'll release our friends and family?

Perhaps. But there is no way you'll win! Now let me explain the rules of this match. It will be a double duel. Us against you two. Each duelist will receive 4000 Life Points. You must defeat both of the other team's duelists in order to win. And as for the losers? They'll pay a very hefty price… A trip to the Shadow Realm! [Yami Yugi and Kaiba both gasp] You'll be delivered to the dark world in the most ingenious of ways. Notice where you're standing-- on a thin surface above a 50-story light shaft that runs all the way to the ground floor… but if you fall, you'll never reach the bottom! That's because the very surface on which we stand is a divider between our world… [laughs] and the dreaded Shadow Realm. Each duelist's Life Points will be displayed in the magic shadowbox on the floor beside you. When your Life Points reach zero, the surface below you will be destroyed, opening up a vortex that leads directly to the Shadow Realm! And according to Battle City rules, your rules, when we take your Egyptian God cards! Ready? [laughs wickedly] Looks like I've left you speechless.

I was just waiting for you to finish. Do you have your guarantee that my brother's alright?

Yes, but I wouldn't count on seeing him again.

Once you're in the Shadow Realm, there are no visitors!

It looks as if you've just made your second mistake today, Rare Hunter. The first was kidnapping my brother and the second was challenging me!

We'll see about that, Kaiba!

[as he and Kaiba both activate their duel disks] And I will rescue my friends!

Very touching. But we duel for our master, Marik, and losing is not an option! Our decks were specially assembled to take down your Egyptian God cards and that's just what we'll do!

And once we deliver them to Master Marik, he'll possess all three Egyptian God cards! In the meantime, you'll be spending all of eternity in the Shadow Realm! So if you're ready, let's duel!
