“WAIT, KAIBA WAS FOLLOWING ME?!?”

Seto holds tournaments still, yes.

But his favorite tournaments to do nowadays are the ‘tournaments’ he holds at orphanages.

He’ll enter them sometimes if the orphans want him to. Other times he’ll just be a judge. No matter what, the orphans all get a little prize (A toy or card of their choosing!) just so everything is fair.

Also, he’ll let them build his deck/s for him when he participates. Sometimes they like to pick a ‘theme’ for him (all-spells, all-traps, etc.) and see how well he does with them.

And yes. He loses a LOT against them fair and square. He doesn’t water down his playing just for them.

The Kaiba Corp is affiliated with at least five or more orphanages ; this number grows every now and again of course.

He has personally stopped by said orphanages to make sure they treat their kids right and to make sure the orphanages are worthy of his time. (But Obelisk be damned if he doesn’t want to ADOPT ALL THE CHILDREN EVERY-TIME HE STEPS FOOT INTO AN ORPHANAGE NO MATTER WHAT)

He donates to them on a regular basis. Money, good food, toys, cards, duel disks, etc. He even stops in and spends time with the kids – And the kids fuckin’ LOVE him. And of course he takes them to Kaiba Land too!

Someday, he dreams to adopt a set of siblings, even if he has to be a single father (If he is still single by the age of 30 he’s adopting on his own). Nothing will stop him from adopting a pair of siblings and giving them the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD.

Seto totally has some little mechanical Blue Eyes White Dragons that he’s created. They’re about medium sized. Huggable and hold-able.

And he refuses to make an actual product out of it, hoarding any and all that he creates to himself and Mokuba. Sometimes they like to chase the employees around because Kaiba certainly did NOT program them to do that as a joke oh no no no!

He owns a Blue Eyes White Dragon Kigurumi. No one can change my mind.

As such, he also owns a decent sized Blue Eyes White Dragon plush that he may or may not cuddle with sometimes as it’s normally found on his bed. Can’t have it getting dirty on the floor now can we? Both the Kigurumi and the plush he had made SPECIFICALLY for him.

His room is soundproof. No one can hear from the inside or out. If there’s trouble, there’s ways to contact him other than yelling for him.

Dimension hopping to the damn afterlife had a REALLY negative effect on Kaiba. At first things were all honkey dorey and he was doing GRAND in that duel against the Pharaoh. But as the time went on, he began to feel less and less stable. Being here was eating away at his brain. Eating away at his sanity and amplifying his already poor mental health issues.

He started to have very vivid flashbacks. The monsters on the field turned to his parents. He re-lived their deaths in full agony right there on the duel field. He couldn’t tell reality from fake. This ultimately caused him to LOSE this duel, much to his demise.

He left with a calm exterior but once he was away from the crowd that had witnessed his duel, he freaked out. Gozaburo was there. Mokuba kept dying. His parents turned into hideous zombies that tried to rip him apart. He couldn’t breathe. His neck felt TIGHT. Where was the way out? This way? That way? Why wouldn’t his mind calm down? Why couldn’t he calm down? Why wouldn’t these flashbacks leave him alone?

He battled past this as best as he could and eventually found his escape pod and returned home. Mokuba tried to happily greet him but Seto just brushed past him and locked himself in his room where he proceeded to have one of his worst break downs in years. His room was an absolute mess after this. HE was an absolute mess over this. He refused to tell Mokuba about any of this aside from vague details of ‘it worked’. He refused to write ANY public information about this Dimension hopping. What he saw there now plays a part in his nightmares.

Seto finds it VERY HARD to sympathize with people his age and older. (18 and up ; 14-17 are also iffy ages for him to be able to sympathize with) And yet he finds it extremely EASY to sympathize with orphans. Why’s that? WELL.

Children still HAVE A CHANCE to have something he didn’t have. They still HAVE A CHANCE to get adopted by loving parents and grow up with love and affection. They still HAVE A CHANCE to have a childhood.

Others, however? They’ve already lived their childhood. Their past is in the past, much like his is. There’s no changing what has happened to them, to him – Their childhoods have already been lived through and whether or not it was a good or a bad one simply does not concern him.

He tries, at times, to sympathize with others his age and up but it’s hard. It’s a challenge. He has to internally fight himself and an endless stream of thoughts that nag at his mind when he even so much as THINKS about SHOWING a little sliver of kindness.

Kindness = Weakness ; a viewpoint that was, unfortunately, hammered into his head by Gozaburo of course. If people see HIM being kind he’ll get mocked, laughed at and potentially walked all over. That’s why when he shows even a little bit of kindness to someone other than Mokuba or orphans he covers it up quickly with sass.

CW for dark topics, Suicide mention/baiting, etc. 

He’s multilingual. French, Japanese, Spanish -- You name it he can more than likely speak it. Fluently. 

Under the read-more contains dark themes & abuse mention! Proceed at own risk!

This post is going to be a HEAVY ONE.

CW for; Suicide mentions, Abuse mentions and so on. Please truly do proceed at your own risk as this post has a LOT of triggering content in it.

“… I don’t think it’s justifiable given how you tore up the only other Blue Eyes card in the world.”

“You might want too tone it down.”

          Oh, so he wants to bring THAT into it all, does he?

Of course he doesn’t run Kaiba Corp alone/just with the help of Mokuba!

But how does the usually stoic and seemingly asshole of a guy treat his workers? Well… He’s a master at keeping personal relationships separated from his work relationships for one. His work relation with Mokuba is far different than his family relation with Mokuba outside of work.

His employees are treated with the utmost respect and only HE is allowed to scold them for when they do wrong or fuck something up. He LETS you know when you’ve done a good job. He praises you, makes you feel as proud as he can make you feel for your success. But, in turn, if you fuck up? He WILL talk down to you. He WILL let you know you’ve fucked up. He’ll point it out, he’ll guilt trip, he’ll stress you. There’s a quiet three-strike system in his head he does before personally calling you into his office. After that he gives you ONE chance to redeem yourself before being officially fired. He’s not afraid to fire ANYONE. There’s PROBABLY even been times where Mokuba has gotten close to being fired because Seto does NOT discriminate when it comes to his business.

Aside from Mokuba, he has two VERY LOYAL employees that have been with him for years through thick and thin and even know him on a bit of a personal level. They for SURE can tell when Seto is simply joking. It’s easier for them to read Seto and sometimes they have to reassure some employees, especially new ones, that Seto was simply joking.

Isono/Roland & Fuguta.

Isono - Right hand man. Fuguta - Bodyguard

Aside from these two he has an abundance of phone workers, technological workers, people who run the Kaiba lands etc. etc. etc. All of which gets the same treatment as everyone else.

Raises are handed out fairly in most cases. He JOKES about paycuts. To him there’s no such thing as a paycut. You mess up? You’re out. Fired. GONE.

TL;DR They are treated with respect until they fuck up. He wants nothing but the best for his company and his success. He’s not afraid to fire anyone, not even Mokuba, Isono or Fuguta. He’s absolutely AMAZING at separating personal relationships with business relationships.

Pt 2 ; 

Some of Seto’s housemaids (And even employees at KaibaCorp) were hired off the streets as in they had no home. They had no place of their own and Seto took them in; it IS mostly housemaids and people who work around the mansion that are off the streets. They ARE allowed to work towards promotions to work at the actual Kaiba Corporation.

ANYWAY. He hires them off of the streets and lets them live at his mansion. He gives the the option of moving out once they get enough money to do as such. Sometimes they wish to STAY there and he is a-okay with that.

How DOES Seto really view Yugi and his ‘nerd herd’? Well –

Atem/The Pharaoh ; Best friend, in some odd sense. Never before has he ever had such a formidable opponent nor has he ever dueled side-by-side with someone so flawlessly.

Yuugi ; He respects Yuugi. A friend, at the very least. But Seto doesn’t feel AS attached to him like he does the Pharaoh.

Joey Wheeler/Jonouchi Katsuya ; Thanks I hate it

Honda/Tristan ; Doesn’t care for him, has a secret hate towards his military deck that he’s never mentioned before.

Tea/Anzu ; Doesn’t care too much for her. Finds her annoying, at best.

All in all, he’d protect Joey, Tea & Tristan if it came down to it and Yuugi or Atem wasn’t around to do so. Somewhere in his cold dead heart they’re his friends. He just won’t admit it for various reasons, stubbornness being one of them of course.

Pt 2;

Alright so there’s specific reasons as to WHY he dislikes Joey, Tea & Tristan. Why, you may ask? Well, here’s MY Seto’s reasons why.

Joey Wheeler/Jonouchi Katsuya ; He loses. All the damn time and yet he’s the one that can take a loss with the brightest smile, the most upbeat response to LOSING when to Seto “Losing=Death”. How can he just simply up and? Smile? Like that after losing? He hates it. He’s low-key JEALOUS and such a thing has turned to some form of spite. Plus he’s obnoxious and has piss-poor attempts of antagonizing him and he finds that utterly annoying. (Tho shut up Seto those attempts have a 50/50 chance at working.)

Honda/Tristan ; OH BOY. His. Military stuff REALLY gets Seto so irked. Reminds him of Gozaburo. Kaiba Corp used to be a weaponry company heavily affiliated with military shit. Seto wants absolutely nothing to do with that shit thank you very much.

Tea/Anzu ; FRIENDSHIP SPEECHES! Calling him selfish all the time! Trying to shove friendship down his throat only to turn around and call him mean, selfish etc. etc. etc. REALLY grinds a persons gears, you know. One second she tries to recruit him as a friend then the next seemingly tries to push him away.

All in all, if given the PROPER time and PROPER adult conversations to sort things out WITHOUT ARGUING, Seto is more likely to get along with Joey; followed VERY ROUGHLY by Anzu and. Well. Tristan has it the roughest due to his link to military things.

And even after one of them bonds with him? It’ll be SO EASY to rip that bond right up. Yes. Even with Yugi it could happen if Yugi is not careful enough. Friendships with this man can be tough. Romantic relationships are easier to maintain with him if he is LEGITIMATELY INTERESTED. Otherwise it’s a game and he WILL win by hurting the other first and absolutely destroying their lives.
