The line comes from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series, the fan parody created by LittleKuriboh in 2006, where Seto Kaiba is rewritten as an absurdly rich and dismissive rival. His repeated claim that money lets him ignore the rules became one of the show's defining running jokes and spread widely through early YouTube, forums and quote lists. It later inspired variations and remains a familiar reaction clip for wealth, arrogance and cheating, long after the original duel scenes that first made it famous among anime fans online today.
