Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Blue-Eyes White Dragon


Blue-Eyes White Dragon

The signature card of Seto Kaiba, it is considered to be one of the strongest monsters in the anime. It's attack is White Lightning in the English anime, and Burst Stream of Destruction (滅びの爆裂疾風弾) in the Japanese anime. In the manga and anime, there are only four in the entire world (held by Collectors in Japan, Germany, Hong Kong and America) he explanation being that the card was considered "too powerful" and therefore discontinued. Kaiba, who dreams of owning all of them, acquires three of them through underhanded tactics such as a mafia deal, forcing the owner into bankruptcy and forcing one to commit suicide (though it is implied he had the person killed). Only three of one card can be in one's deck at a time, and the fourth Blue-Eyes belonged to Sugoroko Mutuo, which Kaiba ripped up so it can never be used against him. Soon afterward Kaiba begins using all three of his Blue-Eyes cards in his deck, fusing them via Polymerization to form the three-headed Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, one of the most powerful monsters in the game. The card becomes Kaiba's trademark and motif, as he owns a jet, a dueling arena and a theme park all based on the beast, as well as a card Kaibaman modeled after Kaiba to support the Blue-Eyes. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episode in which Kaibaman's spirit appears, he has the same voice, deck and mannerisms as Kaiba.[2] Kaiba's appearance of a white coat and bright blue eyes also conjure the dragon's image, and in the PlayStation 2 video game Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, Kaiba's armor is modeled after the Blue-Eyes.

In the final season of the anime, the dragon is revealed to be the spirit of Kisara, a young woman who was captured by Akhenaden for the power of the beast. Kaiba's past incarnation, Priest Seto, fell in love with Kisara and defended her to the death. After Akhenaden killed her and possessed Seto, Kisara's spirit entered Seto's mind and destroyed Akhenaden. The love the two shared is the reason why Kaiba was driven to claim all the Blue-Eyes cards in the present. In the anime, the monster itself is described by Zorc as "the ultimate creature of light," with power greater than that of the three God Cards. In the anime, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's power is further demonstrated by being the first monster who deals actual damage to Zorc. Even Exodia, considered by many in the anime to be invincible, was unable to do this, as Zorc quickly regenerated the injuries he sustained from Exodia.
