The irony here is that Kaiba is facing a similar situation where he now has to duel in order to save his family, just like Yugi did for grandpa in Death-T. And it’s not just anybody; Kaiba is forced to go against Yami Yugi even though he lost to him a few times now and was put in a coma because of him. I know Kaiba is putting up a front but he is terrified. It’s sad that Yugis friends don’t really see that Kaiba was threatened to be put against Yugi in a duel, but instead believe that Kaiba is with Pegasus. (I don’t blame them, they’ve been through some shit lol). I love seeing Kaiba’s character development though.
