Nah…he blew up a because it belonged to his step father.
He built a death theme park, with electric chairs, an ax murderer, guillotines, a Tetris room where the block crush you and a torture device built to drive people to insanity in 10 minutes because he lost a card game (and was trapped in a card, feeling how it is to be eaten alive for an unspecified amount of time).
But this is also in a world where people being blown up, poisoned with a scorpion and burned alive are things that happen on daily basis, so…he may be a law abiding citizen…
the lack of time between the end of the tournament and the actual explosion makes it highly unlikely that he got permission for it
on top of that, marik and rishid were pretty clearly in japan illegally, which should have instantly disqualified them from the tournament (not counting all the things that they and other people did that should’ve gotten them all disqualified
and yeah, the death-t exists too. and so do those other things, but the incompetence of the domino police force doesn’t mean no laws were broken
it’s been established that murder is still illegal there. kaiba seto has killed people. he is not a law abiding citizen
he can buy as many cities as he wants - ultimately, he still falls under the control of the japanese goverment
and kaiba owns a gun
guns are illegal in japan
so no, he’s not a law abiding citizen
more like “he’s rich so the laws aren’t meant for him to begin with”
but in-universe he probably just beat all the lawyers at card games so no one can charge him with anything (marik also could’ve done this but he chose Drama)
So, you could say…
“Screw the rules, I have money.”
girl (assumed), it’s 2021.
“my affluence makes a nonsense of the regulations”
Kind of disappointing kaiba never just shot yugi Indiana Jones style after losing a duel
he tried but yuugi beat the gun in a card game too
