i think we’re ignoring an aspect of seto kaiba’s obsession with impractical duel monster/bewd crap. and that aspect is: kaiba corp is a former military arms company. that seto has now turned into, of all things, a game company. half of all ygo seasons have some sort of plot involving people who are Very Unhappy with seto about it and who Will Kill Him for it. which turns all of his ridiculous technology (blue eyes white jet, the holo technology, duel blimp™️, his fucking jetpack, etc.) into absolute spite inventions that send every previous military contract, investor, and board member kc ever had absolutely batshit.

#i mean a lot of it is totally seto reclaiming his childhood in weird ways because he is in no way well adjusted #but some of it is absolutely seto going ‘a bewd jet is stupid’ then 5 seconds later saying outloud with no context #‘wait that’s something gozaburo would say’ and then an all nighter later kc r&d has the schematics for the bewd jet #and???? imagine you’re a former part of gozaburo’s kc and you see seto fucking kaiba in his gaudy anti aerodynamic bewd jet #tell me you wouldnt be frothing at the mouth in rage and jealousy over the technology #seto kaiba #kaiba brothers #gozaburo kaiba #yugioh #ygo dm #mokuba kaiba #speaking of #i also like to think that every dumb 2am thought mokuba has also goes straight to r&d #mokuba after staying up playing video games: what if you could smell the holograms #seto kaiba the one up late playing video games with him: oh my god youre a genius #cue two days later seto entering mokuba’s room without knocking and straight faced asking him what he thinks dragons would smell like #mokuba: processing..... ‘NIISAMA N O’ #also pour one out for kc r&d those poor bastards have to deal with so much #seto at one am calling a conference call: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT PORTALS TO THE AFTERLIFE #kc r&d: w h a t ???? #seto: right sorry i’ll get you the specs tomorrow good night #kc r&d: W H A T ????? #i have a lot of feels about kc employees but that’s another post
