At first he's angry. Angry at Yuugi, for being so weak as to allow himself to be taken advantage of. Angry at the scientists, for deciding to take the man that he still needed to defeat and doing it long before he even got there.
The way Yuugi acts...the way he doesn't lend a thought to his wounds...that's the attitude of a man who gave in, made do, and accepted his fate.
Kaiba didn't like that look on him. To have his faith shaken, it was almost as painful as having his throat slashed.
But...he eventually circles back to an amalgamation of emotions that he's not even sure how to parse. He's...upset. He's thinking harder than he wants to, about what Yuugi was saying here.
Harvesters.
Harvesters of Light.
They were meant to patch up the other experiments.
Like Kaiba.
When he died...they hadn't just fixed the wound, had they? That's what Yuugi's getting at here, isn't it?
You're saying...that they take pieces of you and use them to bring us back to life?
Why...is he smiling at Yuugi that way?
You're saying that parts of you are in my body?
Why does he look like he wants to laugh again?
So every time I died, I caused you pain?
Is he happy? Is he upset? It's so hard to tell, with that face he's wearing, but inside, Seto Kaiba is fighting the urge to vomit at the idea of all of this. That Yuugi was a living organ donor, and that Kaiba was...was not himself anymore, and that if he wanted to remain as much himself as possible, he had to stop fighting.

Stop...fighting?! Is this a joke?!
