35 Quotes by Kazuki Takahashi

The rules are simple: the first one to lose dies.

Atem: Out of the thousands of cards available, duelists build their decks by choosing cards they trust. But...cards also choose duelists! Card and duelist! When the two hearts are bound by trust...the card will display its true powers!

Seto Kaiba: The next generation Duel Disk is finally finished! Let the curtain rise on a new kind of Duel Monsters! Now I must start the play at the only appropriate place...the place where the ancient duelists and their cards slumber in the stones...Gather, duelists...by the gravestone of your predecessors!

Atem: ...The soul of the lost king of ancient Egypt, trapped in the Millennium Puzzle for thousands of years! That is who I am. Heh heh...after all this time, it's no wonder I've forgotten everything!

Yūgi [paraphrasing Atem's perspective]: I can't bet my precious cards on a wager! A real rare card isn't about how scarce it is or how much money it costs...It's different for each person...it's the 40 cards they chose out of thousands and thousands to build their deck! All those cards are precious to the duelist who chose them! All of them are one-of-a-kind.

Seto Kaiba [to Ishizu]: 'Duel Monsters' was invented in the mid-90s! There's no way it's 3,000 years old!

Get your filthy hands off the puzzle, you little brats!

It's time to duel!
