Because he's the kind of baller to take his dad's weapons manufacturing company and convert it into a global tech enterprise revolving around a children's card game that ultimately ends warfare on a global scale.

I mean... he built a space station with an orbital elevator in the shape of his company's logo for the sole purpose of hosting card games in space.

He's just so fucking ridiculous. He's almost like a parody of an anime rival, he's a badass billionaire child prodigy who acts like a massive dick and hated the main character for absolutely no reason to a ridiculous extreme

Speaking of. This guy got clowned on like a hundred times by Yami Yugi, and now he wants to invade Egyptian Heaven so he can try again? Like at this point he just needs to admit its not about the card games. >_>

Grandpa doesnt count that was a setup. Dartz was a co-op duel and Yugi carried, and thats not canon anyway. Neither is the Cyber World arc or the Kaiba GXP for that matter. >_>

They sorta recycled his "dude's rich with one of a kind cards lmao" a few times.

Hell, doesn't Kaiba Corp make cards? Just like Declan he was so dumb he could never make a perfect counter to Yugi's shit, or even something that would be completely even to Yugi's stuff so there'd still be the challenge.

Dude basically invented time travel just to have another rematch.

Also, I count like 5 on screen wins off the top of my head and at least 7 others off screen.

+1 if you count Lainaman vs Jaden

He had more of a reason in the manga

That duel with Seto (with those sunken in cheeks and whatnot) vs Yami in his first appearance was in front of an actual audience. When Yami pulled Exodia and beat the fuck out of Seto it tanked the companies reputation since Seto was the "unbeaten" figurehead and whatnot.

Why the fuck wouldn't they count? It's not like people didn't see those episodes to form their opinion on him. He's at his absolute best in the filler, regardless.

That isn't shit

Seto sacrificed a god because of his boner for Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Nothing he did barring the whole "chasing Atem to the afterlife for one last duel" could ever top that.

KaibaCorp makes dueling accessories. It was Industrial Illusions, owned by Pegasus, that printed cards.

Reiji (Declan in the dub) could actually print cards and used that to his advantage of course

Kaito was basically off brand Kaiba

Most fans of the series have only seen the anime so asking why hes so beloved while excluding it makes no sense.

didn't he break some dudes wrist? He uses children's trading cards as weapons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtKQOjrcxb8

He also stabs a dude with a card thrown like a throwing knife

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzoMT3Q9sy4

This dude also beats a guy using a gun with a trading card

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg2B8GPmJ3E

His badassary was too much for the western kids to handle, so it was never translated. What a boss.

Ah, here we were thinking "Everyone cheats a little" but then there's Pegasus with "Muh Millennium Eye" when in fact he made himself a one of a kind deck. What a dickhead.

Reminder that Chazz had a bitchfit and left the academy, went to a new one and dueled like 100 people in a row, beat them all, and then fucking left.

Also he fucking dueled 4 or 5 people at once like an absolute chad.
