Wow -- you hit on one of the things I love about the DK arc -- that when Kaiba comes to DK, he hasn't finished rebuilding his heart -- he's running around doing all these things,with his own soul in such a state of disrepair -- and it doesn't even slow him down. I tend to think the rebuilding process takes the entire length of his appearance in the manga -- until the end of Alcatraz, when he finally seems to take in what Yami and Mokuba have been trying to tell/show him and seems to start to understand what he needs to do to rebuild his life. Possibly part of the reason I pair him with Yami (lol) is I think he is the only character with the patience and strategic way of looking at things to put up with him while he does this. I think a nice long vacation in the Shadow Realm or wherever wouldn't be a bad idea either (lol).
Thank you! It's funny -- I try to write what I think of as false canon -- that is I want to confuse people as to what actually happened and what is my own invention. An odd ambition (possibly). At the risk of sounding like a mutual admiration society, I thought Closing Day was one of the best Mokubas I'd ever read -- I've been recommending it like mad. I'm also really into the time travel story, although my sympathies go out to anyone else misguided enough to take on the idea of time travel and all the complications. (That's a joke -- I'm impressed at how well you wove all the necessary explanations in, and love the image of Kaiba standing in the street laughing when he realizes he's succeeded.)
Anyway, on vacation with possibly limited Internet access, looking forward to reading more...
