Kaiba quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh!

The next duel will begin in one hour! Yugi Muto will face Mr. Kaiba! The winner will duel Marik in the final round!

I've been waiting for this moment, Yugi! Victory will be mine!

Right now, Joey needs me. Once I know he's alright, I'll deal with you, Kaiba.

I'll see you in one hour. [thinking] And I'll take you down, once and for all.

Well, well. Yugi. So, you decided to show up after all.

Of course. To miss this duel is to deny my destiny.

Spare me the drama.

The second duel of the semifinals will now begin!

So, why didn't the nerd herd show up to cheer you on? Are they too busy trying to wake Wheeler up from his nap? [laughs]

Joey is in a great deal of danger now. More than you could ever know.

Wheeler shouldn't have been here in the first place. I warned him not to play with the big boys, and if you ask me, he got just what he deserved… A slap in the face by Ra! And if getting attacked by an Egyptian God card didn't knock any sense into that kid, then nothing will.

That's enough, Kaiba! You have no idea how dangerous this Duel Monsters tournament of yours has become! The outcome of the Battle City finals could put the whole world at risk!

The only one at risk is you! For once I win, you won't be number one!

Kaiba… It's not always about being number one. It's about dueling with bravery, honor and respect! And most importantly, putting the needs of others ahead of your own! And that's something Joey Wheeler did every day of his life. The reason he's in that hospital bed, is because he put himself in harm's way, just to keep a promise to a friend!

Pathetic. Listen, Wheeler can do whatever he wants, but I'm in this thing for one reason only! And that's to win the tournament and be recognized as the greatest duelist in the world! So why don't you save your Girl Scout speech for someone who actually cares. As far as I'm concerned, Wheeler never really belonged here in the first place.

[sadly in tears] Come on, Joey. Keep fighting! I know you can get through this!

Tristan

[sees Joey's hand twitching] Check it out!

Duke

It's just a reflex. He's still out of it.

Tristan

Come on, Joey!

[thinking] This is it! I have to win this duel! For the sake of Joey, and the entire world!

[thinking] Every duel I've fought in this tournament has led up to this moment. The moment I finally take down Yugi Muto, and regain my top dueling status!

The last semifinal duel will now begin! I repeat, this duel will end the semifinals!

All right! Now, get ready, Yugi! We're about to find out which one of our Egyptian God cards reign supreme! So let the epic battle begin!

The winner of this duel will advance to the championship round to face Marik Ishtar for the Battle City crown!

You're about to lose your Egyptian God card and your reputation! And a duel this momentous deserves an appropriate setting. Wouldn't you agree, Yugi? Observe the latest in holographic technology! I think you'll find this environment quite fitting.

Huh? Explain!

I just wanna take you down in style, Yugi. So, observe! Welcome to Duelist Coliseum!

[chanting] Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba! Go Kaiba!

Yugi, in ancient times, Roman gladiators would battle to their doom in order to prove who was strongest. Now, it's our turn to see which one of us deserves to call himself the greatest in the world! So draw your first card and let the battle begin!

With pleasure, Kaiba! [draws; thinking] Everything is riding on this duel! I've got to stay focused and win this! [speaking] Here we go!

All right. LET'S DUEL!

I summon this! Queen's Knight in defense mode! Then I'll place one card facedown. And that's all.

Yeah, whatever. [draws; thinking] I've drawn my Egyptian God card on my first turn! Crushing Yugi may be easier than I thought. All I have to do now is sacrifice three monsters!

[thinking] I wonder if Kaiba is planning to use the same strategy he used against Ishizu in his last duel. [Flashback to Kaiba and Ishizu's duel, when he used his Shrink and Crush Card Virus strategy to destroy her deck] Kaiba may try to destroy my deck like he did to Ishizu's. But then again, knowing Kaiba, he's got a whole new strategy planned for me!

Thank you, Kaiba. My Egyptian God card was buried deep in my deck, until your magic card brought it out. And now, Slifer the Sky Dragon is in my hand, waiting to be summoned to the field so it can destroy you!

[thinking] It may be in his possession for now. But, eventually, all three Egyptian God cards will belong to me! And speaking of Egyptian Gods, my Obelisk the Tormentor, will be free to grace this duel with its presence in two more turns, just as soon as Yugi's Lightforce Sword wears off. In the meantime, I'll use my XY-Dragon Cannon to destroy every one of Yugi's monsters! So he'll never get the three monsters he needs to sacrifice in order to summon Slifer. I, on the other hand, will be ready to call Obelisk to the field to finish Yugi off!

[thinking] I'm in a tough spot. The good news is: I was able to get Slifer the Sky Dragon into my hand! The bad news is: I had to use my Exchange magic card, which helped Kaiba, also. It allowed him to pick any random card he wanted from my hand. And he chose my Life Shaver card! Now, Kaiba's holding a really dangerous trap card! When he plays it, depending on how many turns it stays facedown on the field, I could have to discard most of my hand! That would give Kaiba a serious advantage! Since Slifer's attack points depend on how many cards I'm holding. If he wipes out my hand, my Egyptian God card will be worthless!

Yugi, are you gonna stand there contemplating your next move all day? I'm getting bored, and so are my fans!

Looks like I you got backed into a corner!

Looks can be deceiving. Now make your move!

What's your hurry? Anxious to lose? Suit yourself! [draws; thinking] Excellent! This is exactly what I needed to complete my strategy and Yugi's annihilation!

[with Queen's Knight, King's Knight and Jack's Knight on his side of the field] Thanks to you, I now have three monsters to sacrifice!

You can't play your Egyptian God card before I play mine! I've been in control of this duel from the start!

Not anymore. And now, I sacrifice all three of my monsters. Be gone, now! And next, I SUMMON MY EGYPTIAN GOD CARD, SLIFER THE SKY DRAGON! Stare into the face of defeat, Kaiba!

[looking out the window] Hey, guys, check it out!

Ishizu

Summoned by the hand of the Pharaoh, the first Egyptian God has arrived!

How unexpected. The Pharaoh brought forth Slifer before Kaiba summoned Obelisk!

I'm not impressed, Yugi.

And why not? I managed to summon one of Duel Monsters' most powerful creatures.

[after summoning Obelisk the Tormentor] MY MIGHTY EGYPTIAN GOD CARD IS HERE AT LAST!

The battle of the gods has begun!

Now what was that you were saying about your Egyptian God card being stronger than mine? Take a close look, Kaiba. Our monsters are even now.

Too bad your monster's effect is only temporary, Yugi. Once this turn is over, Obelisk will have all of his power back!

Perhaps, but I've still prevented you from attacking me this turn, Kaiba.

Stalling for time is a sign of weakness, Yugi! You're obviously desperate! Now it's my move! So stand back! I play two cards, both facedown! That ends my turn.

Very well. It's my move! Sorry, Kaiba, but since I'm now holding three cards, Slifer's attack points rise to 3,000!

But now that your turn is over, Obelisk regains its full strength! So your monster is weaker again!

Not quite, Kaiba! Observe my facedown card, Pot of Greed! Thanks to the effect of this magic card, I can now draw two more cards from my deck. And you know what that means, Slifer's attack points now rise to 5,000! More than enough to take down your Obelisk, and wipe out your Life Points, Kaiba! Now, my dragon, ATTACK!

Obelisk is losing his patience, Yugi. So finish your move!

All right. I'll place two cards facedown on the field and end my turn. Now, feel free to attack me, Kaiba!

[thinking] What's he thinking?! He just weakened his monster by 2,000 points!

What's wrong, Kaiba? Are you afraid of my two facedown cards?

It's my move! [draws]

Hold on, Kaiba! I activate my magic card, Card Destruction! Now we must both discard every card in our hand. But that's not all. Next, we must replenish our hands, with the same number of cards!

Fine! [thinking] Now what's he doing?! He didn't change the number of cards in his hand, so his monster's attack points stay the same!

Next, I reveal my trap card, Disgraceful Charity, GO! Kaiba, now we must re-draw the cards we just threw out, giving me a grand total of six cards in my hand!

Oh, no! This can't be!

I think you know what happens now. My Slifer gains 3,000 points for a total of 6,000!

Impressive move, Yugi, but you'll have to do better than that to defeat me! Because that little stunt you just pulled with your facedown cards helped me out as well, by giving me just the cards I needed to win this duel!

Explain!

Well, thanks to you, I was able to draw this magic card, Thirst for Compensation! It lets me summon two monsters from my hand directly to the field! Observe! [summons Blade Knight and Sword of Soul, both in defense mode] I play Sword of Soul! And Blade Knight!

You're wasting your time. Those monsters are too weak to survive. Slifer automatically strikes every monster you summon. NOW, SLIFER, ATTACK!

Now, Obelisk, destroy his Slifer! It's over! Your Egyptian God card is ancient history! What?! Your Slifer should've been destroyed!

Well, it would have been had I not stopped Obelisk from attacking, Kaiba.

What?!

And I have you to thank for giving me the ability to protect my Egyptian God card from yours, for that task was only possible thanks to a trap card that you played! When you activated your Power Balance card, I had to place three cards in my graveyard… including this! Recognize it? It's a useful monster card known as Electromagnetic Turtle. And it has quite a unique special ability. When this monster is sent to the graveyard, it leaves a small electrode attached to one of my monsters, in this case, Slifer!

And it lets you stop our battle before Slifer was unlucky enough to collide with Obelisk?

Well, I see you did your homework, Kaiba. Now I place this card facedown.

The power of our Egyptian God monsters is equal! But neither one will give up this fight!

You're right! It must be a holographic malfunction!

Mokuba

Seto! Are you okay?!

[thinking] It's the ultimate power struggle! These two Egyptian Gods have been pushed to their limits!

[thinking] What's going on?! That light is stronger than anything my machinery could produce!

Yugi, you were correct. Summoning Blue-Eyes usually requires two sacrifices, however, thanks to my magic card, that rule no longer holds true now. This card is the key to unlocking my great beast and wiping you out! Behold, my Cost Down magic card! Now my Blue-Eyes White Dragon is instantly reduced from an eight-star monster to a six-star monster!

[thinking] Oh, no! That means Kaiba only needs to sacrifice one monster to summon it!

Your Egyptian God card won't be around for long, Kaiba!

That doesn't matter. Obelisk has served his purpose already. I won't be needing his services to finish you off.

This is where it all ends, Yugi! There's no way you can escape the devastation of my three Blue-Eyes! The moment I've been waiting for is finally here! [laughs]

[thinking] I'm in major trouble! With three Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Kaiba could easily wipe out both of my monsters and the rest of my life points! What am I gonna do?!

[thinking] It looks like the end of the line for the Pharaoh. Which means Seto Kaiba will be the next casualty of the Shadow Realm!

Now, my three Blue-Eyes, attack! Finish him off and end this duel!

Oh, no!

Once my dragons attack, this duel is over, Yugi!

Joey

Hold on, Yuge.

Joey?

Joey

Yep. The one and only, pal.

I'm about to loose this duel!

Joey

Guess again, Yuge. It's like you always tell me, look closely and consider all your options.

All of my options?

Joey

Yup. I think you'll find a card that can save you.

Let's see. He's right! There's still hope!

Nice try, Yugi, but you're no longer the top rank duelist! What?! It's Red-Eyes Black Dragon! Where did that come from?!

If you recall, you used your Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon your Blue-Eyes to the field, but you may have forgotten that your flute works on my hand, as well! So, I owe you a thank you, for bringing out this card, which is a gift from a very close friend of mine, Kaiba!

[thinking] I must admit, Yugi's moves took me by surprise. But if he thinks this is the time to celebrate, he's sadly mistaken. Victory will be mine!

[thinking] I have a long way to go. But as long as I have faith the heart of the cards, and in my friends, I know I can win this!
