Kaiba Seto Genga
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters
As noted on the index, Kaiba was my favourite character until Bakura bumped him down to
the #2 spot. It was amusing in the beginning. I saw a tiny little bit of Kaiba, and my
interest was perked. After a tiny bit more, I could eaily nail what type of character he
was and predict a lot of how he would act. Then I found out he was a Midorikawa Hikaru
character in the first series (not this one) and had a good laugh. One of those "aa, soka",
or at least "sheesh, figures", moments. Until it turned into another familiar scenario for
me, one ala Xellos bumping Zelgadis as my favourite Slayers character.
Kaiba's rich, a genius, head of Kaiba Corp., pretty much the owner of Domino City, and
the type of person who no doubt causes his entire staff to take large amounts of Valium
every day. He's a complete social darwinist and it wasn't in the least bit surprising to see
him reading Nietzsche in DM episode #1. He is also Seme Incarnate, through and through. It's
no wonder that he's the #1 Yugioh doujinshi character. The ground beneath him squirms and
tries to serve him, along with pretty much anyone and anything else. *picks grovelling self
up off the grovelling ground and proceeds*
One of the only things as notable as Kaiba's Pure Dominant Spirit are his coat-tails. I
love watching them, the ways they billow so dramatically in numerous ways. How did he
rig those things?
Ok, something equally notable is how, though he's stand-offish with anyone else, Kaiba
is so devoted to his little brother Mokuba. Mokuba is part adorable, and part
Kaiba-sama-fuhrer's Little Himmler in Training. Kaiba's certainly been mean to him from time
to time and he acts like Mokuba's his property, but he cares enough to be willing to kill
himself for him.
Egypt-wise, Kaiba represents the god Set (one of my favourites!) and was a mage (or high
priest). The outfit was great, though I don't as much like the way they've presented it in
Duel Monsters so far. I want the tight body suit instead of the bare nipple-less chest! I
won't comment on Sennen Items in case it's still Spoiler territory.
There's a Kaiba and Yami Yugi sequence in the Kaiba & Yami Yugi
section.
Up next: Kaiba reaching, Kaiba following into a hole with dramatic coat-tails in action.

Comments: A very nice Kaiba pan, methinks. But, garsh, when in the second and
third seasons does he ever look this smug and pretentious? ;) He looks pretty cute with pink
hair, though I never previously imagined myself saying such a thing. |

Comments: Kaiba reaching for...? I wanted him looking uncertain for a change of
