* BroughtDownToBadass: Atem is no longer connected to him in the present. But that doesn't stop Yugi from holding the title of King of Games over the years and is capable of his own magic by seeing Duel Spirits and [[spoiler:sending Judai back in time to face his younger self and Atem]].

* CombatCompliment: As seen with both his present and past self, he compliments Judai's connection with his cards, and he's in complete awe of Judai's Elemental Heroes.

* [[ShesAllGrownUp He's All Grown Up]]: After the Timeskip between the two series, he looks a lot like Atem did when possessing his body, though he's gained a bit more muscle too. If his bits of dialogue are taken into consideration he's become a whole lot like Atem in personality as well.

* HeroWorship: Despite winning their duel in the ceremonial battle, Yugi still refers to Atem as the better duelist. It really doubles as a case of HumbleHero, especially since Atem personally acknowledged Yugi to be stronger than himself, with a decade having passed since then.

* TookALevelInBadass: Compare to his scrawny past self who couldn't throw a punch to save his own life, he's now strong enough to be unfazed by Judai accidentally crashing into him.
* [[TopTenList Top Five List]]: In a flashback many years before the series starts, Pegasus told Edo that he considered Yugi as the number 1 best duelist he's ever met in his top 5 list.

* BystanderSyndrome: Even worse than in the original series; Duel Academy is explicitly under his ownership, and yet not once is he shown intervening in its ongoings despite how many times it is imperiled, oftentimes by ''his own employees''. At one point Saiou lampshades this, noting how surprised he is that Kaiba doesn't even try to get in his way. The OutOfUniverse reason is probably that he could handle all the threats easily on his own, rendering the plot completely unnecessary.

* CharacterDevelopment: While Kaiba's dorm system at Duel Academy show his huge ego still remains, he seems to have somewhat eased up as a person. Notably, unlike the manga version, he has moved on from obsessing with Atem, likely because he oversaw Yugi defeat him in the Ceremonial Duel. Similarly, Kaiba has become more accepting of the supernatural, hence the whole "space program" thing.

* SoreLoser: Nothing says "I can't accept my loss to Yugi" then sectioning the school into an Elitist system with the God Card he wielded, Obelisk the Tormentor, as the top rank while the one Yugi used, Slifer the Sky Dragon, is the lowest of the ranks and ironically the Winged Dragon of Ra (which was the strongest of the God cards mind you) as [[HufflepuffHouse the average grade]].

That said, Kaiba did accept Yugi as the better duelist when seeing him defeat Atem, so maybe he just doesn't want to admit it out loud.



* [[TopTenList Top Five List]]: Shares with Edo that he has a list of five Duelists he considers the very best. Edo himself is in his fourth spot, with the first three taken by Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba, and Katsuya Jonouchi, respectively, and he considers Johan Anderson to be in the fifth spot.

* YouRemindMeOfX: As a duelist, Judai reminds him of Yugi, specifically his ability to overcome all odds. Coming from the creator of Duel Monsters, this means a lot.
