Christian Grey Vs Seto Kaiba or How an Action-Anime for Kids Did It Better!

Previously: Ana Steele VS The Modern Virgin

So Christian Grey is a dream boat, right?

Well, no, not really. But for the sake of this game, let's go with what the books tell us about him, rather than what they show:

- Christian is very successful and self-made
- He is intimidating
- He likes fast and expensive cars
- He likes big displays of wealth, social status and ego-strokes
- He is selfish, a bit of a jerk and certainly a control freak
- He has a broken childhood and a dead parent-figure
- He is amazing at his job and has cartoonish bodyguard(s)
- He loves his sibling
- He is incredibly young, hot and is into BDSM

Hmm, I can think of one very prominent character a bit like that. He's not from any erotic fiction, but I remember him being my sexual awakening, you might say. Ok, not really obviously, since I was around eight or nine when I watched the show for the first time, but... he was so just so cool...

Sorry, I got distracted for a second. Anyway, here he is:

Oh, snap!

Yu Gi Oh is an action anime targeted towards kids and teens. It's about adults playing a children's card game. Really, I can't explain it any better. Seto Kaiba (or Kaiba as the show referred to him) is a kind of an antagonist, although he would often help the heroes, even if it's for a selfish reason. He is basically everything that I said about Christian Grey and more. Well, except for the fact that he is a sub and on the asexual and aromantic spectrums... but that's a topic for another time,

Unlike Grey, however whose personality is the color of his name, Kaiba is um... how do I say this? Interesting.

Besides the things I already pointed out, he:
- is also a genius
- can pilot planes and helicopters
- is a world-class hacker
- is a bit of a pick-pocketer,
- is pretty proficient in martial-arts
- is a great escape-artist, amazing chess player and world-chapion of that damn card-game
- is incredibly badass

Not to mention, that what we are told about Kaiba is the same as what we are shown. This guy was a workaholic! And not a made-up workaholic like Christian, who can blow-off important business meetings on a whim; never ever works on a weekend; has all the time for lavish vacations; and basically makes his business decisions based on who he is currently fucking. We are actually shown how invested Kaiba is in his work. Also, the reason Kaiba he is so ridiculously successful is not only because he was a kid-genius, but he also had his adoptive father's money and his company that he re-build and was basically trained to be this by his father from an early age. Also, while he is a chaotic neutral, possibly chaotic bad (though sometimes - chaotic good) and an egotistical jerk, he also loves his brother more than anything. He isn't abusive either. Mostly, he just desperately needs a hug.

Also, did I mention that he was really hot!

Basically what I'm saying is - when a kid's show centered around adults playing a children's card game, a show that included NO ROMANCE (even by kids' shows' standards) has a sexeier, more realistic enigmatic-CEO-jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold, than the most successful book ever, something is terribly wrong.
