I don't need the reminder. [Kaiba hissed, though it was too late. The memory was returning with clarity] The perfect spell actually... [At least he could take some satisfaction from correcting her] By using that de-fusion card it forced my monster to separate. If only his paladin didn't gain a boost from every dragon in play... or if I had set this card instead.. [Mentally running over how he could have still pulled out a victory]

Yes. He does... but I'd hardly call it a miracle. [As much as he wanted to snort and fuss about the 'heart of the cards' he was unfortunately unable to in this instance. Perhaps a part of him knew there was some validity to the claim that his mind wasn't willing to accept] A constant irritation...

Finally, it's refreshing to hear the perception of someone not in his persistent fanclub.. [Yes, let's insult Yugi some more shall we?] That's a key difference between them. He thinks what he's doing is for some higher cause, and he holds onto this sense of honor stuff too strictly to be a common thief. Marisa... she's a piece of work, isn't she? Not building up her own skills, she relies on what she's taken.

One could say Reimu has an unfair advantage. [Though let's face it.. with his satellite system, Kaiba was able to observe every duel in his tournament. It's not like he was above giving himself an edge]
