==Deck== By the third year, Crowler plays an has grown to respect Jaden a bit and even comments that "Jaden usually saves them" when things go wrong. Crowler becomes another zombified victim in the different dimension along with [[Ancient GearAxel Brodie]] (Dark Medieval; 暗黒の中世 Ankoku no Chyūsei) deck, composed largely, as namesake implies, of Ancient Gear (Antique Gear; 古代の機械 (アンティーク・ギア) Anteīku Gia) cards.

He also relies quite heavily on the [[Ancient Gear Golem]], his strongest monster.

{Crowler ascends to the position of vice-principal of Duel Academy in the fourth season after Bonaparte quits. Along with being a professor and vice-principal, Crowler is also revealed to be a career adviser. As Jaden's graduation nears, he reverts to the cruel and bitter personality he had in the first year, making his students do math problems and even having them spend entire classes doing pushups. When he wouldn't show up to his lessons, the students chased him around to school to know why he acted so odd. He revealed to them that he didn't want any of them to leave, and thus wanted them to not take enough classes to graduate. Jaden Duels him, and Crowler fights back brilliantly (even pushing Jaden into a corner multiple times) but is defeated by Jaden in the same manner he did during the entrance exams (causing Crowler to joke that using "[[Elemental Hero Flame Wingman (later anime)|Elemental Hero Flame Wingman]]" in conjunction with "[[Skyscraper (anime)|Skyscraper]]" is the only strategy Jaden knows). This act restores Crowler to his usual self, leading him to make Jaden make up for all the classes he had missed recently. It is assumed that Crowler, along with everyone else, was pulled into the world of Darkness during the [[Trueman]] siege and brought back when Jaden defeated [[Nightshroud]]. He was last seen trying to make a speech to the third-years, but broke down and cried violently before being carried out by the other staff members. Afterward, he attended the graduation party with his students. ==Other appearances==In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!
