#well-

but, you really can't separate Kisara and the Blue Eyes White Dragon. The whole thing with Kisara is that her ka is atypical; her ka and ba are both the White Dragon. This is why it can only be summoned when she's unconscious, because it is literally her consciousness.

This is why I use "Kisara" and "BEWD" interchangeably in a way I wouldn't do for, say, Mahaad and the Dark Magician. In YGO's worldbuilding as it pertains to Ancient Egyptian beliefs, people like Mahaad will have a ka that corresponds to whatever monster represents them. The ka is one's "life force," and actually it's normal for the ka to separate from the rest of the soul after death. The ba is one's personality, or what makes their 'self' unique. So while you can separate Mahaad and his personality/self from the Dark Magician, you can't do the same for Kisara and BEWD.

There's lots of interesting thematic stuff to dig into here with Kaiba (how Kisara and Seto both relate to the concepts of humanity vs. monstrousness, how that ties into power vs. inclusion vs. acceptance, etc.) and with death in general. Kisara's death is in fact a reunion and actualization, which is closer to the real Egyptian beliefs around what happened to the soul - the ka and ba were supposed to reunite after death to form the akh. This is also why I don't think Kisara being "fridged" in the narrative is the only interpretation. She's onscreen all the time and communicates with Seto frequently! If you can reconcile a giant swag ass lizard with a pretty waifish anime girl and hold them in your head as the same thing.

Hehe The sillies :3

“I’ve missed you...” Character B groans, hips thrusting into Character A’s as Character A lets out a soft whimper at the sensation of Character B slowly filling them up to the brim. “So fucking much, you don’t even know,” Character B breathes out, dipping their head down a little and resting their forehead against Character A’s.
