Do you guys wanna hear about how Kisara and Seto's story shaped up in the back of my mind after years of reading and thinking about them? First off I gotta say it's very loosely based on canon and I haven't revisited the material in a while, I know, great sign right? I'm just writing it down to revisit later, its my brain mud puddle I love playing in.
Anyway so I think Blue Eyes White Dragon was originally a god, of something along the lines of power, victory, protection, war and alike. And came to be humbled by other gods, or powers above, by having a human spirit made in for her, created and shaped in her image, the perfect worshipper of her, the most perfect human soul for her. You may imagine whatever reason for this rejection of this god, but to me it feels more like a plot of envy by invisible hands, she shines bright.
Now the distinction between God and Shadow Monster/Ka wouldn't be just strength, for example God Ra would be residing in another existence, the Afterlife, and restrained by rules that bind Gods, while Ka Ra, more like the blurry shadow of the real thing falling upon the wall, connected to the God, but nowhere nearly whole as its feet are rooted in another existence, is still magical but freer in interacting with the mortal world.
So The God we're talking about, unable to bear the distance with her mortal would go a whole different way. See, staying a God and having a Ka on the real world is unendurable, so she would have to change where her very essence is rooted, not in the Afterlife as a God, but in mortal world, a Mortal body is the vessel in which she is wholly contained, just to live on the world the same time the one she is bind to does, just for a chance to meet in their flesh one day.
So this is where things start to get insane because Set, made by gods or powers beyond to bring a God down on the mortal plane, has to have Ba that isn't anything ever witnessed before. This soul has to be enough to grasp the strings of fate and pull the God down, so jot that down.
Now a a power struggle orchestrated by gods could only end in tragedy, so that's how it ends. They share only a few moments but that was all the god could ever ask for, giving it all up just be born on some part of the world with close to no chance of meeting her fated mortal, its something to be cherished. And her Ka is strong enough to stay with the mortal for the rest of time, every time, his soul reincarnates, until they reunite in the Afterlife. Because the thing is from the very start her story is one of sacrifice, all for a mortal.
And the thing with the mortal is uhhh. Now you see, the mortal isn't very happy about the sacrifice stuff. He is a human with his human life and struggles and all but he is also made in the image of this god of power, this gods champion, and chosen. And uhh, it's dead. The god's dead. The god died in his arms. So he does what any champion of the god of victory, who hasn't existed as a god in forever, would do. Take all his battles to the grave, reborn again and again, and reincarnates to once again challenge his fate.
And in the year of 2000, he rises to global power as a teenager, and remakes his god in the modern world after all the other ones have been long forgotten. Blue Eyes White Dragon becomes synonymous with power and victory in the hands of Seto Kaiba, even after he loses the Blue Eyes doesn't, as the mascot of Kaiba Corp, the most iconic face of Duel Monsters, she enters every home as posters on the walls, on clothes, as miniature statues, and is remade by the sheer power of her mortal, coming full circle, almost granting her godhood again, if only she would take it.
(she would much rather exist a ghost with barely any power with her arms linked around her one and only than all the power in all the worlds)(and he can feel it)
