[Red cannot wrap his head around the logic that some pieces of paper are superior to actual real life Pokémon, but well, he supposes that's not actually important right now. What is important is the sheer hostility in Kaiba's tone and expression towards Blue. He doesn't doubt that Blue was the one who started this whole confrontation in the first place, however it still doesn't justify Kaiba putting his hands on him and basically threatening to do it again. Red knows better than anyone else how much of an obnoxious jackass Blue can be, but he would never start a physical fight with anyone (besides Red, sometimes).
Being the battle maniac that he is, Kaiba's malice instinctively makes Red want to get in the other man's face and goad him into a fight or flight response. If Red himself was the target of Kaiba's ire and there weren't other people to worry about, he would follow that instinct without any hesitation. However, his top priority at the moment is keeping Blue out of harm's way, and it seems like the best way to do that is to just fuck off like the guy clearly wants.
He wraps an arm around Blue's shoulders, keeping a firm grip on him as he attempts to walk his friend back over to his table.]
