MOVIE FOLLOWS THE MANGA SO GX ANIME DOESN'T EXIST!

I lost it and couldn't stop laughing when he said "first of all Kaiba gots a six pack"

It's now been confirmed that Seto lives and did not die at the end of the film.

How can he die!?? "He has money!!"

I was thinking more along the lines that Kaiba used Aigami's dimensional magic along with his own technology to warp the dimensions and get to the afterlife (Which is another dimension), which is why he was glowing and his body was somewhat fading while in the final scene of the movie, because he can only remain there for however long his tech allows.

Screw dying I have money

I think the question as to whether or not Kaiba died is pretty complicated, and I think it largely depends on what you mean by "dying." It seems he was in the afterlife, after all, seeing a mirage of a city mirrored right above the actual city isn't normal, and the fact that he says "dimension," rather than time, implies that he didn't simply go back to Ancient Egypt anyway. But I think it's wrong to assume he doesn't make it back. As Kaiba says right before he duels Diva:"You said tech has it's limits. Wrong, there are not limits when you're as brilliant as Seto Kaiba." Kaiba's one badass mother fucker who isn't going to let something as simple as dimensions keep him from dueling Yugi and then getting back to business as usual.

Wouldn't Kaiba dying contradict him starting Duel Academy in Yugioh GX?

Regardless, what everyone thinks. The movie was awesome and I enjoyed it. To me it was way better then any of the other yugioh movies.

"wasn't because he loves someone" Yet the ending still reminds me of Titanic.

I doubt Kaiba actually died and only went to Atem's resting place as seen he is disappearing slowly while confronting Atem if anything i'ts he's slowly disappearing as he doesn't belong there and probably after the Duel i think Atem would probably have the power to send Kaiba back also kaiba needs to start the Duel Academy for GX to happen note i am referring to the Manga version not the Anime (yes GX has a manga version too) as GX manga is still approved by Kazuki Takahashi and Shounen Jump unless Kazuki changed his mind i believe Kaiba is still alive and will return

even if kaiba is died or alive it doesn't really a big deal . he found a way to see Atem (that's key man ) and if this brings conseguence like death well, at least he will live with Atem in that dimension.....but maybe is he still alive , we don't know . well I like kaiba very much but think about it : kaiba is obsessed by pharaoh he want challenge him . they're rival death of not death , kaiba always get what he want .

I too thought Kaiba died, but it's unlikely. And if he did, I would cry like I lost a loved one 😂 I fucking LOVE Seto Kaiba ❤️

I couldnt be happy anymore if he would dying but i dont believe that he is dead. 1. he build the duel academy and he shows up there and 2. he is shown up in the 5ds intro. he lives! he must living! I really love seto and he wouldnt kill hisself. maybe he find a way to go to atem. he was already in the past with yugi and his friends and all were alive

lol Kaiba going through the G.R.I.E.F process makes me iffy

I can't agree or disagree with the theory until I watch DSOD but regardless great job! I like how you looked into Kaibas backstory and went that extra mile to backup your points. Really interesting theory and really well made video!

Creator himself says he's alive. Not sure if you mention this in the video but Kazuki Takahashi (creator of Yugioh and co-dev of the movie) posted an illustration of Yugi and Kaiba developing new games together after Yugi made his dream come true and became a game designer. So - Seto has to return from his trip to Atem's palace alive. (The illustration can be found on Takahashi's instagram or after a little google search)

where did those manga images of DSOD come from? is there a manga of DM i dont have? i bought all of it i thought!!!! is there a new manga bit/short bit to go with the release of the movie?

Question BYG, did you get the limited edition obelisk the tormentor card when you went to go see the dark side of dimensions?

Seto is the key to the rest of Yugioh. He starts duel academy and his researchers invent Momentum.

he didn't die. He found a way to travel to the afterlife. now I heard he traveled back in time that even seems more plausible

Ok firslySeto is my absolute favourite character since I was 8. I'm now 24and I agree with this theory, tho I saw how op trued to touch on the unspoken emotions of kaiba in the movie he didn't speak on just how strong they are. Essentiallywhen kaiba lived and atem did too he was a source of constant motivation and drive for Seto, he pushed him to do good and be a better man (such as when he helped him in his fight with Malik, or when he saved anzu and joey1 year has passed and we see the way kaiba has already started to crumble without atem, now that thier are no more people to rise up and challenge him. He essentially has no more purposeIn the transcendent game mini manga, we see that Seto is fully willing to sacrifice everything to get to atem. And essentially learned the definite way to reach atem. In his first attempt kisara appeared, to both protect Seto from entering and dieng, and possibly to say, even if you die you wont see atem.but once he gets the cube he can freely travel the dimensions. However even aigami could not use it to reach atem,, so perhaps kaiba realized that he could use the cube to bypass his own afterlife in see atems, or bring atem into his afterlife.people who argue the GX thoery dont realize its cannonity is disputed greatlyand as far as kazuki Takashi feels this is the series' true endingit not only makes sense that kaiba should die but it feels right too. He cant be happy in life without atem, so he made sure in death he would besome say well kaiba didn't die he used the cube, but then if kaiba came back, he'd still have the cube and he'd be able to see atem whenever he wantedwhich is just wrong on so many levelsfor a whole movie that spends its time crying I miss atem, it just makes way more sense kaiba dies and using the cube, is able to see atem

When Kaiba was in the Afterlife, you could see him fading. Just as he was fading when he lost a Game Of Shadows. Therefore, he faded FROM THE AFTERLIFE. Maybe he was technically dead during his time in the Afterlife. But that's about it, and at one point his consciousness would return to the world of the living. My theory would be Kaida using some sort of a near-death experience; if anyone, he would be the one pooling enough resources into this. Even if we consider GX non-canon, or the other Arcs that follow; or the anime... him just shutting down Mokuba like that doesn't fit his char at all. The rest of your explanations are as such not to be ignored, but ultimately pointless.

One thing I'd like to point out is that I highly believe Seto told Mokuba he's in charge. But what's not said in the movie is that it was most likely only while he was gone and meeting Atem

Another good theory! Save the dying part, since you have a new video to confirm that Kaiba survived. New subscriber! Apart from that, Kaiba wanted to see Atem again, so if you think about it, it's another way of Kaiba moving on. Since we're going by the manga, Kaiba never got to even say goodbye to Atem if anything. So, this is basically him going through grief in a way that only he could. Love the consistency that you brought up for the manga, since not a lot of people know of it.

in the movie it shows kaiba walking into the dimension of pharaoh and it seems like kaiba challenging atem to win against all with atem. so i hope that theres more series for the original yu gi oh characters how i miss them

Wait if gx hasn't happens yet then how do you explain kaiba being shown in gx

It takes some intense obsession to travel back in time just to challenge a dead man to a card game. 😂

No, he doesn't die because he makes appearances in Yugioh GX, which takes place years later

To everyone bringing up GX, the movie was a sequel to the original manga, not the Duel Monsters anime, which has a different timeline.

bro awesome vid man one of your best

Have you heard if there is going to be another movie

I never thought I would feel bad for Kaiba....now I do...

I don't think he is dead. Different dimensions exist in Yugioh. The human world, the monster world, etc but there are other ones as well such as the Shadow Realm and the monster "graveyard" so it could be argued that all Kaiba needed to do was build a machine to go to whatever dimension Atem's "afterlife" is in. There is also the fact that Atem was able to come back one last time from that realm using the puzzle and anchor himself to it till he split from Yugi again ad took it with him. So if Kaiba could make a machine that copied it's function, he could do the same thing. Teleport himself yo another demension and wear something anchor his spirit there. Also don't forget. Kaiba is a reincarnation of Atem's head priest so he technically already has a connection to Atem's afterlife anyway.

pretty sure he's alive. yugioh gx confirms this. the manga might not follow the anime but let's be real....its seto fucking kaiba. maybe atem sends him back after their duel. you know with his magical powers. idk i think he lives

are there going to be any more films to let us know what happened after Kaiba's journey back to Atem's palace?

This where the timeline splits for sure

I suscribe to you thanks good work for your theory

the cube could transport someone anywhere, without killing you just like when Diva try to disappear Joey, But Joey came back.

I don't believe that he died, though I liked your theory! I think you could've taken in consideration the connection Kaiba had with Atem through his past life as Priest Seto (isn't he even the cousin of the Pharao?) which I believe transcends time and space. You mustn't forget, that Kaiba is a character, who even if he doesn't admit it, is guided by his past life - the rivalry with the Pharao being a result by the Priests rivalry and friendship with him and the Blue Eyes being his favorite card, as it was his past lover's reincarnation, Kisara.

the timeline split at some point after gx. 1 reality has kaiba creating the dimensions leading to xyz summoning and such, and the other has yusei saving the world from ruin

tbh I can see that being the split in the timeline if he dies or not, he loses to atem he gets eaten away and if he wins he has enough time to go back before he fades away

We need a sequel on how Kaiba came back from the dimension and how he came up with the idea of Kaibaman!

.....They still left us on a cliffhanger I really wanted to see that duel

You know where I can read the manga?

It's an interesting theory, but personally my theory is that Seto dimension traveled to a world where Atem was. Given how much of a genius he is shown to be (and this is especially shown in all the tech he's created in this movie alone) I wouldn't be shocked if he somehow figured out how to use Diva's cube to replicate the teleportation powers of the Prana. Not only that, but in the beginning of the movie he defeats Atem in a duel (albeit a hologram, but Seto was smart enough to have it programmed with all the possible strategies Atem could have used so points to him there). Then later on when he's dueling Yugi, he doesn't actually lose. In fact, it seems as though a great deal of time (I mean, it's a couple seconds, but in movie time it's significant for what is shown) is given to point out that A: Seto's LP did not reach zero, and B: he was smiling. Not a happy smile, but a "I'm still in this and I am already working on/have a strategy to come back and beat you" smile. Given that it's Kaiba we're talking about here, this wouldn't at all surprise me if he really would have made a come back had Diva not arrived. Given that he didn't lose either duel technically, I think it somewhat hints at a change in Seto's ability and his state of mind. He was never able to win in a duel before against Yugi or Atem because he didn't believe in the heart of the cards essentially. He was too arrogant and believed only in power. While he still believes in force, this movie seems to show that he has changed. He now fights with his heart, even if it isn't exactly love of the game or the protection of others that drives him. He's not just out to be the best in the world, he actually has a goal of redemption in mind and a will to make pretty much anything happen (he did summon Obelisk from nothing, after all). In addition to him not losing, he is also quick to join forces with Yugi to battle a greater evil in order to protect the world without a second thought. This was very different to the times he had to join with Yugi in the past. This time he really did put aside his own desires to do something... good. That alone shows some kind of change in how he behaves and what he believes in. It's like he's almost matured in a way when it comes to his own interests, if that makes any sense at all (it is two in the morning and I'm fading fast). Don't get me wrong, he's still the arrogant bastard he always was, but it's different this time around. Just the feel of the movie and the ending had me feeling like he's evolved in some kind of way since the series ended. This movie felt like it was all about Seto leading up to his own redemption, and his redemption would be facing Atem in a duel and winning. While we don't actually get to see that duel happen, I'd like to think that given all the nudges and hints in the movie that this really was his time to win because he believed so hard and worked for it. Also he's pretty much my favorite character and I'd be sad if he actually died for a card game. XD I'll just go back to living in my little bubble of optimism now. EDIT: Welp. Just saw your update video. So much for my ramblings. XD

Probably put himself in stasis (like, putting himself a a near death state) to get to Atem with the help of that artifact he had.

The ending for this movie was great, but I wish it wasn't so open ended. We need a sequel to this!

i really wonder how am gonna watch this movie in portugal

Great video some say this movie was okay or alright I think it was very awesome .Well I have not seen all of yet but I seen most of it. I just was hoping Kaiba was going to bring back Yami Yugi so he could duel him again . Cause in first movie he says to Yugi we duel again that been years now . Kaiba beats Virtual Yami Yugi in DSOD And Yami Yugi beats virtual Kaiba in first movie.

So will we hear an movie trailer announcement soon?

What is tg2?

the way i am is not because of my environment or outside forces,i chose my own path and made sure to defy what you described in the video

Tell me plaza we have in the future dark side 2????

Considering He said Duel dimensions system I think he just traveled to where yami is.

I really like your theory however their is the mystery when Kaiba appeared in gx season 2 when I think sartoris asked to use Kaiba land for his plans

I looked it up. Acording to the wikia page about Seto Kaiba. Seto used the 8th Mulenium Item to somehow appear at Atem's Throneroom to Duel him. So somehow this is another plot-hole since this means that Kaiba used that magic Aigami used (which was said to be gone after Atem appeard).

IMO, Kaiba had this "suicidal" feel to him in the manga and anime series so i can see how this could hold as a sound theory, but of course, the implications of death in this anime are normally told in another way, such as "another world" or "shadow realm". then again, they make this aimed at kids, so i don't think that hes gonna die, but i see more of him being in a coma like state.

Or this is where the time line splits.

Kiaba survived, because he was also in GX 10 years after the events of yugi and Atem’s final duel. When he went back in time as we saw to see the Pharaoh and duel him again we see it looks like he’s disintegrating but because of Kiabas technology in the movie he was able to resist the Plana and it’s ability to erase people. I think it was with this that he was able to avoid death in the afterlife from eating away at him and kept him alive. I think Kiaba and Atem had their reunion duel and he won and then like in Acengers End Game as soon as he was done he was pulled back into his pod and back to the world of the living so I think he experienced a type of Astro projection or out of body experience because he was going so fast it must have made him black out and cause his soul to separate from him body and temporarily enter the afterlife though I can’t say how. Maybe Kiaba created a black hole of his own with the energy used in dueling and that opened the gate maybe for a period of time and like Yugi and Pegasis in their first duel on a 15 min video tape Kiaba and Yugi had a time limit on their duel which was plenty of time since so much power was used to open that black hole or the door to the afterlife then once it was done and over Kiaba used his technology to pull himself back to life and the present.

Why do the subtitles keep saying tim?

I remember when he was in the training room and summoned Obelisk... He almost ended up in the hospital.

I always thought that kaiba just time travelled to atem's time

Than what happened to Kaibab man then leading into the movie

where did u watch this movie

Kaiba reminds me of myself similar background.

so how is he in GX ?

he was reborn after atem beat Diva . even if kiaba died briefly his existence could have sent a shockwave through time to change things.

I mean duelling yugi for eternity is kaibas heaven right XD ?

Could you do a video about joey vs Yugi at the end of battle city?

May from pokemon- age of 8... holy shit im old at 8 i was waiting for the newest episode of pokemon season 1

Well if he died, then the GX episode where he duels Jaden as Kaiba man makes sense.

The original takes place after the manga which is what the movie primarily is based on. The dub is set after the original anime so we have two answers

Actually he didn't die who said that he died he is alive in the afterlife he has his machine to return but the movie didn't have part two

I mean, he showed up in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, which takes place 10 years after the conclusion of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, so I don’t think so. I mean when he transported himself to the Egyptian Spirit World, I think he was somewhere between not fully living but not fully dead either.

I didnt even watch this video. But kaiba is in yugioh gx which is quite a bit into the future after dsod

I don't think they might make another movie

what about Kaiba's appearance in GX? im not the only one thinking " how could he be dead if he is there?" am i?

@5:13 Well... Considering all the Dimensional collapsing going around, it's not too hard to believe in a Deus Ex Machina that Atem noticed the collapse and simply couldn't crossover until the collapse was bad enough that it opened a pathway from his world (the afterlife). He went through and by the very nature of the Puzzle acting as a conduit for the unbreakable bond he has with Yugi, Atem returns, with Mahad, and ends the Duel in a way that can only be counted as cheating otherwise. After the dual with Yugi, Dark Magician stayed in the present, while the spirit of Mahad, who embodies Dark Magician, become a Palladium Oracle to continue serving the Pharaoh in the afterlife, but still retain the form of Dark Magician while he stayed with Yugi. Again, all this is Deus Ex Machina, and as such a lot of disbelief to suspend.

Nice video. its interesting how you look at kaiba's past. Don't forget that yami yugi forced him to experience death by being mauled by duel monsters as a penalty game.

I think he went back in time

Isn't GX set about 10 years after DM tho? So if that movie is 1 year after DM how is that possible cause Seto was obviously alive in GX.

What is TG2?

It was a Prototype afterall, it's a huge risk because if something is not tested, things go wrong.

do you guys not remember how in the begging kaiba was suppose to be like a reincarnation of a duelist atam fought.... what if...what if he was actually himself in the past?

What about Duel Academy! Seto you can't die but movie ending was pretty great the message was awesome apart me was like wow there not going to so Atem hmmm

what kiba did is better explained in the manga that took place before the movie that on viz media till march i think it is free to read and it in english.i don't think kaiba actually died but sent his spirit into the relm of the dead threw his new deminison machine aka the duel links server

If you think about it, Arc V is all about dimension hopping so I think kiaba invented the way to make this happen FOR the arc V saga. Which means he must've had that planned ahead of time in case the pharaoh couldn't return to their world permanently. As Kaiba stated "you have your bond with him, I have mine."

I thought he time traveled but this makes more sense that way Atem would actually know how to play the card game

So did he win?

I like to think he came to the real world. Founded the academy in GX. But returns to the afterlife time and time again to duel Atem for funsies and they trade wins and losses. And after Seto dies of old age he just stays in that Afterlife dueling Atem when he feels like it.

i think he used the cube to acces his own memories of season 5 and return to atem that way. also he will come back because he is seto kaiba.

please please put the movie

Whether Kaiba won or lost I'm Atem would be happy to send him back since he has his full power now after he tells him what he and the others have been up too.

Is the movie really that old

this is good love the vio you no your stuff

I'm wondering, do you think Yugi and Kaiba could be cousins in modern times like Priest Seto and Atem were?

I'm sorry to break it down for you ppl. The reason why Kaiba is emanating "dark energy" similar to D-va is because BOTH duels (the one at the Faraoh's tomb) and the one at the tournament were recorded and DECODED for the new Dueling Hollo-system in the Crystal Network. If you did your homework you'll see the EXACT same pattern when Seto duels Ishizu and wins to later presence Joey vs Marik's Winged Dragon of Ra's effect (decoded by young Mokuba back then). With all those pieces together (inter-dimensional duel as stated by DVa) Seto arranged the puzzle back, because that was the only "lenghtwave" he didn't have recorded. BUT IT HAPPENED at the end of the tournament, that's why he said "FOR HIM". Seto specifically declares through the entire movie he now has the resources to "DO IT" (to record Yami's energy duel in the system). At the end, all that's going on with SETO is that HE IS proyected BACK IN TIME, instead of bringing ATEM to the present. If you want to see this full circle, go WATCH EACH ENDING of the YUGIOH series. Everyone discovers (always) a new "manifestation" of energy that they must gather to solve. This is the "ripple in time effect" SETO caused by dueling Yami.

Kaiba doesn't die. Because later after the critics there is a scene where kaiba and Yugi are in space playing a new type of game Yugi created. It may not be in the movie but I did see a photo and read it as well. Just don't see how h could have died and years later be creating games with Yugi.

Hes not dead because the thing is atem didnt go to the afterlife he entered a new dimension in which he had full control over thats why everyone he loved was there and it appeared as it did in ancient times. Kaiba was already on to this and aware of other dimensions, thats why he used his new duel tech to keep his body from being shreaded at the beginning of the film. I think he tapped into the cubes power by means of technology to access Atems dimension. I really wish they would bridge this to 5Ds, GX, and Arc V since arcV actually revisited the other settings for prior shows and kept most of the characters in tact.
