The signature card of Seto Kaiba, it is considered to be one of the strongest
monsters in the anime. Its attack is White Lightning in the English anime,
and Burst Stream of Destruction (滅びの爆裂疾風弾) in the Japanese anime. In the
manga and anime, there are only four in the entire world (held by Collectors in
Japan, Germany, Hong Kong and America)
the explanation being that the card was
considered "too powerful" and therefore discontinued. Kaiba, who dreams of
owning all of them, acquires three of them through underhanded tactics such as a mafia deal,
forcing the owner into bankruptcy and forcing one to commit suicide (though it
is implied he had the person killed).
Only three of one card can be in one's
deck at a time, and the fourth Blue-Eyes belonged to Sugoroku Mutou, which Kaiba
ripped up so it can never be used against him.
Soon afterward Kaiba begins using
all three of his Blue-Eyes cards in his deck, fusing them via Polymerization to
form the three-headed Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, one of the most powerful
monsters in the game. The card becomes Kaiba's trademark and motif, as he owns a
jet, a dueling arena and a theme park all based on the beast, as well as a card
Kaibaman modeled after Kaiba to support the Blue-Eyes.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh!
GX episode in which Kaibaman's spirit appears, he has the same voice, deck and
mannerisms as Kaiba. Kaiba's appearance of a white coat and bright blue eyes
also conjure the dragon's image, and in the PlayStation 2 video game
Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses, Kaiba's armor is modeled after the
Blue-Eyes.
In the final season of the anime, the dragon is revealed to be the spirit of
Kisara, a young woman who was captured by Akhenaden for the power of the beast.
Kaiba's past incarnation, Priest Seto, fell in love with Kisara and defended her
to the death. After Akhenaden killed her and possessed Seto, Kisara's spirit
entered Seto's mind and destroyed Akhenaden.
The love the two shared is the
reason why Kaiba was driven to claim all the Blue-Eyes cards in the present. In
the anime, the monster itself is described by Zorc as "the ultimate creature of
light," with power greater than that of the three God Cards.
In the anime, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's power is further demonstrated by
being the first monster who deals actual damage to Zorc. Even Exodia, considered
by many in the anime to be invincible, was unable to do this: while he did
damage Zorc, Zorc was able to regenerate. (Taken from
