[OathToOblivion]

You know, I think I may know what Kaito's actually doing with all this. This may just be me rambling, but hear me out.

First, a few points.

- Kaito's actions have always been suspiciously altruistic, even if he excused them with his philosophy.
- He could have easily killed Oren and Jounouchi, but he didn't, even though it would have made sense to.
- Then, we have his talk about Mai in this episode.

You want to know what I think? I think Kaito wants Kouta to beat him and take the Golden Fruit and Mai. He knows that there's no point for him and his philosophy after having seen what happened to the Overlords, but also knows that he's the only obstacle stopping a peaceful world. He wants Kouta to defeat him so that Kouta can change the world so that people like him don't need to exist.

Well, that's my thoughts. I'm probably just rambling or reading too much into things though.
