"Short, blunt and to the point, as always, seto kaiba. Just the way we know, respect and even like you. At least, I do. And a much needed lesson. Especially for many young people who just expect to make their way in the world without making much effort. As if they're entitled to the world bending to their wants. As if it's their "destiny" to be great and making a difference. Destiny...pff. Circumstances may or may not help you but destiny isn't going to bring food on the table. Destiny isn't going to pay bills, solve tests or secure you a promotion. YOU do these things. With your own hands and your desire to suceed. By rolling with the punches and refusing to lay down. Say what you want about Joey Wheeler being at times a hot-headed, impulsive loudmouth who sometimes acts like he's landed on the wrong side of the evolutionary curve, but he has the heart and the desire to do great stuff and he's not afriad to fight for them. If people are unwilling to accept that success and greatness are achieved through hard work and unwavering dedication to the goal at hand and the determination to reach it? The world is going to teach them that lesson the hard way. You built your own legacy, seto kaiba. A legacy that deviates much compared to the one your predecessor, gozaburo kaiba, wanted from you. Let me tell you that my respect for you grew even more when you refused to bow down to that monster and accept the career of a war profiteer and instead chose to focus on your two greatest passions: gaming and technological breakthroughs. Now, I know that being lectured by an "unknown, unimportant goodie goodie" like me is the least preferred way to waste your time. But I must be honest with you. I worry that as much as you don't want to admit it, you've become like gozaburo. In some ways at least. He was a cold-blooded monster, who wasn't afraid to diminish and step onto others just for the sake of it. A small, small man trying with all of his might to be big. That was his way. That was Noah's way. That was Siegfried's way. All small, cruel and petty men. But it doesn't have to be your way. You're better than that, Seto. You're bigger and better than they could ever be. You know why? Because you know what it's like to be at the receiving end of those small, cruel and petty acts. So, you don't have to diminish and stepping onto others to prove your superiority. Your achievements and accomplishments are more than enough to do that. You're a good man, Seto. Just like your brother. Just like your parents were. I know that we've never met them but for them to have raised a son who was so devoted and loving towards his younger sibling they must have been great people. You don't have to lose that. I don't mean to be a doddering fool on the subject. But one must say what needs to be said, in a manner Yugi and the others in their well-meaning but self-righteous manner cannot. Yes, the past can hurt. And one must focus more on the present and future instead of dwelling in the past. But at the same time the past might be the key to unlock the future. After all, a man without a past cannot have a future to grasp. It's our past experiences that define who we are and what we want, as much as our present needs. Trust me, I talk from experience: I've studied History at the University. And if there's something those years taught me is that the world wouldn't have been so troubled, if people had bothered to take lessons from past mistakes and failures. *With your leave, I sat Joey Wheeler down and offered him some much needed hard truths. While I don't expect that he's going to change his attitude towards you entirely right away, he admitted that he really admires your devotion to Mokuba. It reminds him of his own devotion to his sister, Serenity. Did you know that Joey entered the Duelist Kingdom, a match completely out of his league, because it was the only way he could get enough money to pay for the surgery that could save her eyesight? That's why she had her eyes covered in bandages when you found Yugi and Joey dueling at the docks. He also promised that he'll keep in mind what we've discussed and that he'll try to see if there's a chance for an understanding between you two in the future. But he'll still push himself to prove himself as a duelist by challenging you to a duel and giving his hardest for a win. So, you should probably expect his visit soon enough. If it isn't too much trouble for you, please tell him that Chris said hi when that happens. He'll understand. **I feel like I have to ask a question on eveyone's behalf: what happened in that duel in the afterlife?
Seto Kaiba: "You speak with conviction, and while I don’t waste time on flattery, I'll acknowledge the truth in your words. Destiny, fate - these are nothing but excuses for the weak. The world doesn't hand you anything on a silver platter. If you want something, you take it, with your own hands, through sheer force of will and relentless determination. I've built KaibaCorp into an empire not because I was handed anything, but because I refused to be anything less than the best. As for Joey Wheeler, I've never underestimated his resolve, even if his methods are often clumsy and misguided. He fights for what he believes in, and while I may not agree with his approach, I can't deny the strength of his heart. But let’s be clear: heart alone doesn’t win duels or build empires. It’s a combination of intellect, strategy, and unyielding willpower. You mention Gozaburo and those who sought to control or diminish others for their own petty gains. They failed because they were small men, thinking small thoughts, driven by fear and insecurity. I am not like them. My goals, my ambitions - they're bigger than anything they could have imagined. But that doesn't mean I need to trample over others to prove my worth. My achievements speak for themselves. I don't dwell on the past, but I do understand its power. It shapes us, molds us into who we are, but it doesn't define our future. That’s something we create every day with our actions. So yes, I’ll continue to build my legacy, not as a reflection of Gozaburo, but as the man who surpassed him. As for your question - what happened in that duel in the afterlife? Let's just say that even in the afterlife, I don’t accept defeat. My will to win is eternal, and that’s why my legacy will never fade. And as for Wheeler, tell him this: I’ll be ready for him, anytime, anywhere. And I’ll tell him you said hi, not because he needs a reminder of your words, but because he needs to know that no matter how hard he fights, the gap between us will always exist. Only the strong can close that gap, and I welcome the challenge."
Nice. This was better than I'd hoped! Also, here are some ideas for future speakers and lessons: 1. Dante - Refusing to give up your humanity. 2. Vergil - The cost of absolute power. 3. Aquaman - Finding your home when you feel torn between two or more worlds. 4. Black Manta - The poison that is revenge. 5. John Constantine - Fighting your own (inner) demons. 6. Captain Cold - Learning to let others in. 7. Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion - Overcoming vengeance.
You know, when I think back about how certain people (or, in this case, celebrities) build upon their legacy based on their humble beginnings as well as adapt and grow on their abilities and skills, I've seen glimpse on how those who build upon their legacy gave some inspirations and motivations to try their hand on building upon their own path in terms of legacy, sometimes in a very positive matter, but for those who would then use on what they learn from the wrong kind of legacy can leave to such unfortunate results. That said, it can also be implied from historical events many years ago, maybe even in fictional stories as well. To that end, I'm grateful for knowing the concept of building a legacy and how it is very well executed. Also, I have a few new ideas for your life lesson videos in the future, so here it is: 1. Piglet (Winnie the Pooh) on The Importance of Graditude. 2. Nick Wilde's Guide on Overcoming Stereotypes. 3. Cloud Strife on Dealing with Self-doubt. 4. Lucy Heartfilia: Understanding Strengths and Weaknesses. Again, I appreciate it a lot on hearing this video about building a legacy, and I look forward to seeing and hearing more of those future life lessons videos that are yet to come real soon. Thank you. Best of luck, and god speed.🙏👍
Thanks for sharing your reflections! It's true that legacies are shaped not just by where we start, but by how we grow, adapt, and make use of our experiences along the way. I've written down your video ideas so I don't forget. I appreciate the suggestions as always! 🙂
@@LiteraryLifeLessons about World View, about why he believes mutants would dominate Homo Sapiens and why he can’t never accept Charles Xavier’s views for Humanity to give Mutantkind a chance to coexist and make peace.
theres a problem with his insight and experience...he didint build kaiba corp "from the ground up" he assumed control of an already thriving corperation from his step father and merely changed its field of practice.
Seto Kaiba: "Your grasp of the facts is narrow, and it shows in your comment. Yes, I took control of KaibaCorp from Gozaburo, but don’t mistake inheritance for success. KaibaCorp was nothing more than a relic of war profiteering - a decaying empire built on the suffering of others. I didn’t just ‘change its field of practice’; I tore it down to its foundations and rebuilt it in my image, transforming it into the technological and gaming giant it is today. Gozaburo’s KaibaCorp was destined for obsolescence. What I built is a legacy that will outlast all who doubted me. The corporation you see now isn’t just the result of taking over a business - it’s the result of vision, innovation, and a relentless drive to surpass every expectation. I didn't just inherit a company; I revolutionized it and created an empire that truly reflects my own strength and ambition. That's the real story behind KaibaCorp."
Well if anyone can turn a military industrial complex and turn it into a gaming company that made it more successful than ever in the real world that person would be viewed as a hero.

@Literary Life Lessons Where’s the Tom Kane Magneto AI Voice
I'd be happy to tackle that. Did you have a particular topic in mind? 🙂
@@LiteraryLifeLessons about World View, about why he believes mutants would dominate Homo Sapiens and why he can’t never accept Charles Xavier’s views for Humanity to give Mutantkind a chance to coexist and make peace.
Very profound. I'll start brainstorming some ideas for the script 🙂
@@LiteraryLifeLessons thank you, and stay true to Kane’s voice of Magneto from Wolverine and The X-Men and the his portrayal of the games
