I always questioned slightly why so many people knew about Kaiba's private duel with Yuugi (cause I assumed he didn't live stream himself kidnapping and hospitalising a Grandpa to then face this kid who was a nobody in his eyes and just a random kid from his class, like why would he bother?)
So I've decided on a headcanon for what went down. Kaiba lost horribly to Yuugi and then had Mokuba kidnapped shortly afterwards by Pegasus who saw the defeat in his brothers mind cause Mokuba was worried Kaiba's evil clown side was dead and gone. And Pegasus hacked his security camera's, leaked the duel online then proceed to go kidnap Yuugi's Grandpa's soul. Plus this guy full well made four blue eyes knowing you can only have three in your deck and I won't believe for a second he didn't do this to fuck around with Kaiba. So why not leak this footage and ruin his reputation. Really gotta make this teen want to hunt you, stolen his rep and brother. Pegasus is a winner!
