Gozaburo wasn't married to their biological mother. In the Japanese, TBD was still TBD after combining with BEWD. The characters are what's referred to here. No reason to pipe to the card articles.
Before Joey's Duel with Marik, Kaiba commented that Joey didn't stand a chance against "The Winged Dragon of Ra". Joey protested that he went up against "Ra" before, but Kaiba reminded him how it knocked him unconscious. Kaiba told Yugi that his computer had managed to translate "Ra's" effects. However, Yugi was unconvinced and believed Kaiba's connection with the past played a part in translating the text. Kaiba planned to use Joey as a guinea pig, so he can study Marik's strategy. Had it been Yugi that was facing Marik, Marik would win "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" making it harder for Kaiba to defeat him in the finals. Yugi smirked that Kaiba's plan had a flaw; he has to get past him first.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|125|ref}}</ref>
Towards the end of the Duel, Marik had Joey hit hard by one of "Ra's" effects. Mokuba protests that Marik has gone too far, but Kaiba refused to stop the Duel as he must see "Ra's" abilities with his own eyes. Kaiba was stunned to see Joey still standing after taking the blast. Joey prepared to attack Marik to win, but collapsed. Kaiba gave Joey thirty seconds to stand up. Unable to do so, Joey was disqualified. Kaiba was impressed with Joey's performance, thinking to himself "The way you die, at last I'll recognize you as a duelist". (In the English version, Kaiba realized thought Joey isnwasn't the third-rate amateur, he thought he was.)<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|128|ref}}</ref>

Kaiba and Yami continued the Duel. They quickly Summoned "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and "[[Dark Magician]]" respectively.<ref name="ep 132" /> Kaiba used "[[Lord of D.|Lord of Dragons]]" and "[[The Flute of Summoning Dragon]]" to bring out his other two "Blue-Eyes White Dragons". Yugi used it to Summon Joey's "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" from his own hand. Yami blocked the attacks from two of the three dragons, destroying one of them and "Lord of Dragons" in the process.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|133|ref}}</ref> Kaiba used "[[Monster Reborn]]" and "[[Polymerization]]" to Summon "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]", but Yami played "[[Double Spell]]" copying Kaiba's last two [[Spell Cards|Magic Cards]], allowing him to Summon "[[Dark Paladin]]". Yami told Kaiba that if he stands at the top filled with hatred, he won't find real victory. He'll only have to find new hatred, and his future will be filled with endless hatred. Kaiba attacked "Dark Paladin" with "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon", but Yami used "[[De-Fusion]]", splitting the "Ultimate Dragon" into three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons". He used "[[Diffusion Wave-Motion]]", allowing "Dark Paladin" to attack all three of them, winning the Duel.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|134|ref}}</ref>
Kaiba thought Battle City was his tournament, the entire event was designed so that he would be victorious, he wanted to put the memory of his stepfather adoptive father behind him and be crowned the world's best duelist atop his [[Duel Tower]]. Despite coming so close, his victory slipped away from him and he said that he's nothing. Yugi compliments Kaiba on the Duel, but Kaiba said he doesn't want his pity. Yugi admitted Kaiba is a strong duelist, but he was defeated by the monster in his heart called "hatred". Yugi pointed out how friendship helped him win, but Kaiba said that everyone is alone in this world and he doesn't want any pals to slow him down. Yugi called that sad, to which he just scoffs. Kaiba accepted his defeat and threw Yugi his "Obelisk the Tormentor" card, as per the rules of the tournament.<ref name="ep 135">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|135|ref}}</ref>

Outside, Aaron offered to play [[chess]] with Kaiba by etching the board in the soil and using empty weapon cartridges as pieces. This reminded Kaiba of how he used to play chess with Mokuba in the orphanage. (The game of chess was removed in the English version.) Kaiba and Aaron were interrupted when the hideout was bombed. Aaron tried to run over there to save Tony and Dennis, but Kaiba stopped him, insisting that it was too dangerous. A tank then appeared and shot at Kaiba and Aaron. The tank turned out to be one of Alister's cards and the Duel resumed in the city, while Aaron had disappeared. Alister explained what Kaiba had seen had really happened before; Aaron, Dennis and Tony were his friends growing up, that attack from the tank had killed Aaron and Alister's brother [[Mikey]] had been killed in the same way. (The mentions of death are removed in the English version.) The vision of the city faded shortly afterwards and the Duel continued on the airplane. Alister accused Kaiba of being like Gozaburo and expressed his wishes for a world free of war, which isn't possible with people like Gozaburo. To achieve such a world, he claimed to need Kaiba's soul.<ref name="ep 166" />
After sending an SOS to [[Roland]], Mokuba appeared to watch and begged Kaiba to stop the Duel or Alister would lose his soul. Kaiba claimed that he needed to defeat Alister for the sake of Kaiba Land. (In the English version, he said that he doesn't back down from a challenge.) Roland appeared with a team of helicopters to rescue the Kaiba brothers later in the Duel. However Alister used the "Seal of Orichalcos" to damage the plane further and send it plummeting. Kaiba used "The Fang of Critias" to form "[[Tyrant Burst Dragon]]", which he then combined together with hios his "Blue-Eyes to form White Dragon" (In the English version, the combination was called "[[Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon]]"), and defeat defeated Alister before the plane crashed. The three Legendary Dragons, [[The Eye of Timaeus|Timaeus]], [[The Fang of Critias|Critias]] and [[The Claw of Hermos|Hermos]] then appeared and carried the plane to a safe landing.<ref name="ep 167">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|167|ref}}</ref>
At some point, Kaiba sent men to the [[Florida museum|museum in Florida]] to find clues regarding the undersea ruins.<ref name="ep 168">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|168|ref}}</ref>
