Patrick That's A Blue Eyes White Dragon

Okay, hear me out. This might be controversial.

Patrick: The Underdog of Yu-Gi-Oh! Lore

We all know Seto Kaiba. He's the CEO. He's got the coat. And, of course, he's got the Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

But what about Patrick? Yeah, that's right, *Patrick*! Don’t act like you don't remember him.

He's that one background character, always lurking.

My Unpopular Opinion: Patrick IS a Blue-Eyes White Dragon

I know, I know. You're probably thinking I'm crazy. But just consider this.

Have we *ever* seen Patrick duel? Nope. Suspicious, right?

Maybe, just *maybe*, he's got a secret identity.

Think about the sheer level of commitment. He's ALWAYS around Kaiba. Always lurking.

It's almost like he's... guarding him. Or maybe, observing him?

A loyal guardian, perhaps?

The Evidence: Conspiracy Theories Galore!

Consider the facts. We never see Patrick do anything particularly useful.

He is just *there*. Taking up space.

What if his job is actually to transform into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon when Kaiba is in danger?

It is far-fetched? Definitely. Is it more interesting than Patrick just being a random employee? Absolutely.

Also, have you ever seen Patrick and the Blue-Eyes White Dragon in the same place at the same time? Just saying...

But Why? The Motivations of a Dragon-Man

Okay, let’s brainstorm. Why would a man be a dragon in disguise?

Maybe he’s been cursed. Or maybe he’s a shapeshifter with a soft spot for rich CEOs.

Who are we to judge his life choices?

Perhaps he made a deal with some ancient Egyptian spirit. You know, the usual Tuesday.

Or maybe he lost a bet. The possibilities are endless!

Either way, Patrick deserves respect.

Embrace the Absurdity!

Look, I'm not saying this is canon. I am suggesting that this is a fun way to think about a relatively unimportant character.

Yu-Gi-Oh! is weird. Let's embrace the weirdness!

Let us all just agree to think of Patrick as the *real* hero of the story.

Next time you rewatch Yu-Gi-Oh!, keep an eye on Patrick.

Really *watch* him. Observe.

You might start to see things differently.

Maybe you will agree with me. Probably not. But it's fun to think about, right?

Plus, who knows what secrets KaibaCorp is hiding!

Maybe Patrick is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Patrick is the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Pass it on." - Probably me

Thanks for indulging my ridiculous theory. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find more evidence.

I'm confident that Patrick is out there, waiting to be unmasked.

The truth is out there! (Somewhere between Duel Monsters and corporate espionage).
