the reason i hate the 'kaiba can actually go to the afterlife' ending so much is it ruins the point of the movie. the whole idea is that kaiba needs to accept atem is gone and he cannot bring him back. atem's death is probably the first time someone who kaiba actually wanted around died, and dsod is about him dealing with that reality.
giving kaiba literal power over life and death totally destroys what dsod is about: kaiba not getting what he fucking wants. for all his intelligence, and power, and money, kaiba cannot revive the dead. atem was the first person to deny him something he wanted (the title of king of games), but that loss was temporary, recoverable. i want kaiba to be stuck accepting that he doesn't have atem, he doesn't have what he wants, and he can never have it. you cannot engineer your way out of grief.
dsod ending interpretations in order of how much i like them:
a) kaiba actually made a machine that allows him to travel to the afterlife, but did not die (boring, conflicts with theme of accepting a loved one's death)
b) kaiba's machine killed him and he went to the afterlife to meet atem (less boring, kinda metal)
c) kaiba's machine killed him and in his last moments he hallucinated meeting atem. there is no actual afterlife for kaiba, just his final few neurons firing (just plain dark)
d) kaiba's machine did nothing, but he hallucinated meeting atem. he spends years trying to "perfect" the machine before having a mental breakdown after realising it never worked and never will. (very dark but allows for potential of recovery)

"We're together in every universe" this "we'll always find eachother" that. What about this is the only universe that we're together in. What about there is no other way this could have worked. What about this is the only place that we have found each other. And goddamn it if we aren't going to make the most of it.

he's an icon. he's a diva. he's the love of my life. he's an assassin. he's mi6's greatest asset. his first appearance is trying to strangle someone. he rescued himself from a kidnapping with a bottle. he can hit a moving target with five knives from a hundred metres away. he has at least two other people who look exactly like him entirely coincidentally. he's a man only because his creator couldn't draw women. he was canonically gay and in a long term relationship in 1982.
i didn't say his name, but he popped into your head, didn't he?
