Mokuba Kaiba (manga)

Mokuba Kaiba is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. This is the original depiction of Mokuba Kaiba, as created by Kazuki Takahashi.

Death-T
Mokuba leads a gang of followers his age. With them, he plans to beat Yugi in a game to get revenge for him beating his brother in Duel Monsters and inflicting a Penalty Game on him.

Mokuba gets Old Man Dentures to rig his Capsule Monster Chess coin machine. He and his gang later arrive at Old Man Dentures store to meet Yugi at the coin machine. After introducing himself as Seto Kaiba's brother, to Yugi, he has his followers seize Yugi to force him into a game. They proceed to take Dentures coin machine. Dentures acts mad at first, but allows them to carry on after Mokuba drops a large amount of money in front of him.

The gang take Yugi and the dispenser to their hideout, where he must play Capsule Monster Chess against Mokuba. As Mokuba hoped, Yugi changes to Dark Yugi for the game. The rigged dispenser gives Yugi mostly low Level monsters and Mokuba mostly high Level ones. They accept the stakes that if Mokuba wins, he gets to cut off one of Yugi's fingers and if Yugi wins, Mokuba will have to play a Penalty Game.

Dark Yugi makes the game a Shadow Game. Throughout it, he sacrifices his monsters to draw Mokuba's into a diagonal line and uses his last monster "Torigun" to take Mokuba's remaining four monsters all out at once.

For Mokuba's Penalty Game, he is made believe that he is trapped inside a giant Capsule Monster Chess capsule. Before the capsule has Mokuba fully engulfed, Mokuba warns Yugi that Death-T is coming.

During the planning of the theme park Death-T, Mokuba insisted on facing Yugi in one of the stages. Although Seto advised against it, they still went through with it. The two of them also made a bet over which stage Yugi would die in. Mokuba bet Death T-4, while Seto bet Death T-5.

When Kaiba's chauffeur brings Yugi and Jonouchi to their mansion, Mokuba meets them in the car. He introduces himself as the vice-president of KaibaCorp and tells Yugi his given name for the first time. He tells Yugi not to worry as they will be giving him V.I.P. treatment for the grand opening of Kaiba's new secret project, but still keeps a suspicious air about himself.

At the mansion, Mokuba invites Yugi and Jonouchi to a meal, featuring the best food in the world. However the meal turns out to be six servings of a meal a spoiled young child would like. He suggests that they take turns spinning the turntable that the food is on and eat the meal that lands in front of them. He lies that there isn't poison in them and claims that there is a treasure hidden in one.

Jonouchi goes first and Mokuba uses a hidden switch in a syrup bottle to give him a poisoned meal. He admits to lying and introduces the meal as a game of Russian Roulette Dinner. He forced Yugi to continue to win the antidote to save Jonouchi.

Yugi switches to Dark Yugi, who figures out how Mokuba is cheating and manages to smash the syrup bottle, giving Mokuba a poisoned meal. Mokuba eats it and loses, handing the antidote over to Yugi. Mokuba falls over poisoned, while the butler rushes to his aid.

The next day, Mokuba prepared to face Yugi in a game of Capsule Monster Chess, during Death T-4. He confronted Seto about their bet on which stage Yugi would die on. He pointed out that Seto bet Yugi would die in Death T-5, meaning he bet Yugi would beat Mokuba. Seto stood by his choice, said that Mokuba cannot beat Yugi and reminded Mokuba of how he tried and failed to show him up by beating Yugi in a game before. Mokuba hung his head and said that he thought Seto would like him, if he beat Yugi. Seto yells at Mokuba that there is no room for brotherly love in the world of gaming and until Mokuba realizes that, he will always be a loser. Mokuba stormed off to face Yugi, eager to prove Seto wrong.

Mokuba rigged the Capsule Monster dispenser again, but still lost. Seto, held no sympathy for his brother and subjected him to the "Experience of Death" Penalty Game, as per Death-T rules. However Dark Yugi returned and saved Mokuba from the grisly punishment. Mokuba was surprised that Yugi saved him and asked why. Yugi replied that he wouldn't have won, if he didn't have his friends supporting him. This causes Mokuba to reflect on his past and how Seto had changed since they left the orphanage. He wonders if Yugi can help Seto when he faces him in the next round.

To thank Yugi for saving him, Mokuba rescues Yugi's friend Honda, who had been trapped in the previous stage of Death-T. After Seto's defeat and subsequent Mind-Crush, Mokuba explains the Kaiba brothers' history to Yugi and his friends, and vows to wait as long as it takes for his brother to return.
