I was currently playing around with the Power of Chaos PC game to play againts Kaiba, Joey & Yugi (Even tough they are just AI but the voice acting makes it believable) and get some card combinations plus a List of cards that would actually exist to use in my fanfic. Even tough I am using a custom Card here and there but that is the main topic.
There was one something intresting tough and those are two petecular Quotes that Kaiba ( Eric Stuart) says in Yu-Gi-Oh! Power of Chaos: Kaiba the Revenge.
Opening:
- Quote :
- "Let's see if you're worthy of calling yourself a duelist."
You lost the Duel:
- Quote :
- "You lost, but, you've earned my respect as a duelist."
Ofcourse there are more quotes but these are much random, Yes I understand that Kaiba would "Curse" you when he losses but that is understanble. Even with English Voice the "AI Kaiba" is being kept in character, so even if this is not the Anime I can also rely on this as an source for Character speculation and interaction with the OC I have in mind. Ofcourse...knowing Kaiba he would "Curse" the OC if he Ever beats him (wether that happens or not is up to me) since well in Power of Chaos he says the Following Lines.
Quote 1: - Quote :
- "Don't think you've seen the last of me, I will get my revenge!"
Quote 2: - Quote :
- "Gwah... this is impossible. How can an amateur take me down?!"
Quote 3: - Quote :
- "Drill this into your head! Your dueling skills didn't beat me, I only lost because you had the luck of the draw!"
Now I know that to get the respect for Kaiba is Incredibily Dificult after all considering the following Kaiba is verry Pridefull.
- Quote :
- He never backs down from a fight and gives everything he can in a Duel. This results in his sense of superiority and sense of arrogance, making it extremely difficult to earn his respect, and causes him to look down on and treat others as inferior until they do so. This gives him difficulty when forced to rely on others and work as a team
- Quote :
- Kaiba dislikes other people using his cards, namely his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" (his favorite and signature card; notably, he uses its motif to decorate a large portion of his personal effects - e.g., Kaiba Land, his jet, and his clothing).
Now I understand that Kaiba has some sense of Compassion with That Tea situation and because of his devotion to its Brother Mokuba he is not completly heartless. Not to mention that he is kind to Orphans (Ironicaly my OC is also one "in an sense").
So I kind of understand his character but I cannot understand what Quallities you need to have to get his respect as "
A Duelist" and "
A Person".
That is why I am asking you guys, I understand Kaiba's Character but I cannot fathom how A Duelist would get Kaiba's Respect. Sure I can make things up here and there but I want stay true to Kaiba's Character.
Does Kaiba respect those who keep on Fighting no Matter what, who does not flinch or react to "personal" insults and/or has some qualities/past experiences he can "Relate" too?
As a Duelist then would he respect not only someone who knows how to play the game but also come up things with combo's he could not have foreseen, uses an honorbale strategy, never insult him etc?
Sorry if I ask this big Question but I need to know this to be sure, I have already have in mind what my OC's Character is and I putting things here and there to make sure he does not become A Garry Stue. I need to know this just be sure I can write some interactions between Kaiba and my OC because there will be already a "first bad foot" because he is from a different world (where Duel Monsters does not exist or atleast never heard of (the Yu-Gi-Oh TGC) and close to our real world) even tough there is a little bit of Science here and there with Kaiba's skeptical side...you get the drill.
So please can someone please answer this question or these Question's?
