* [[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, if more gentle and humble.

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.

* 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.

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.

* 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.
