Blue-Eyes White Dragon
Seto Kaiba's key signature card. During the Memory World arc, the Blue Eyes White Dragon is revealed to be the Ka of a girl named Kisara. She and Priest Seto (Seto Kaiba's past incarnate) shared a deep bond that appears to have carried over into Kaiba's modern-day obsession with the BEWD. As a monster, versus just a playing card, the power of the Blue Eyes was shown to surpass even that of the Egyptian gods, as it was the first monster to successfully injure Zorc Necrophades.
In the anime, there were only four copies of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon cards. Seto Kaiba owned three while Yugi's grandfather, Solomon, Mutou, had the fourth. In the first episode of the Duelist Kingdom arc, Seto does whatever he can to get hold of Solomon's card. When he does, he tears it in half, not wanting anyone else to use the card against him. Later in a duel with Yugi, Seto reveals the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, a Fusion Monster requiring all three BEWD, creating a three-headed monster with an ATK-DEF value of 4500/3800. He would unveil his ultimate BEWD in his duel with Yugi in "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light". In this movie, the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon is identical to its real-world counterpart, but with an additional effect that allows it to destroy one (1) card on the field, regardless of conditions or effect.

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or dragon:
“The Thirties dreamed white marble and slipstream chrome, immortal crystal and burnished bronze, but the rockets on the Gernsback pulps had fallen on London in the dead of night, screaming. After the war, everyone had a car—no wings for it—and the promised superhighway to drive it down, so that the sky itself darkened, and the fumes ate the marble and pitted the miracle crystal.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“And then at last our bliss
Full and perfect is,
But now begins; for from this happy day
The old Dragon underground,
In straiter limits bound,
Not half so far casts his usurped sway,
And, wroth to see his kingdom fail,
Swinges the scaly horror of his folded tail.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
