'''Kalin Kessler''', known as '''Kyosuke Kiryu''' in the Original Japanese version, was a former member of the [[Dark Signers]]and was a resident of [[Satisfaction Town]]. During his time as a Dark Signer, Kalin wore the black robe of the Dark Signers that was accented with blue stripes. His dark mark was the Giant. He had extreme hatred toward [[Yusei Fudo]] and his previous team ([[The Enforcers]]), but later forgave them after he found out the truth from his loss to Yusei. He was brought back to life after Goodwin's defeat. He was last seen in [[Crash Town]], where Kalin attempted suicide by Dueling in order to atone for his wrongdoing, only to be forgiven for them by his former teammates, [[Yusei Fudo]], [[Jack Atlas]] and [[Crow Hogan]]. He later stayed behind to help rebuild the town along with [[West]] and [[Nico]], which was later renamed Satisfaction Town to cherish his team's honor. ==Design=====Appearance===[[File:Kiryu lineart.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Linework]]{{-|left}}===Personality===Originally, Kalin started as a cheerful and good person, who looked out for his teammates and gave hope to them. But after his team conquered the entire city of Satellite, Kalin became obsessed with protecting what they worked so hard to obtain, and grew paranoid into believing that any [[Duel Gang]]s not under his control were a threat to the order they had brought. This caused him to begin Dueling people recklessly including kids, which harmed them in the process, and which eventually lead him to challenge the city's security, which caused his downfall. Kalin was captured by them and sent to prison to die and blamed Yusei for his betrayal and capture. As a Dark Signer, his personality had become even more crazed, which resulted in him bursting out in insane laughter at his opponents' and enemies' pain and misery. He also showed great hatred towards his former teammates, Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan, and especially Yusei Fudo, to whom he would often call a traitor and exclaimed "You betrayed me!"  After his death and revival, he came to realize that all his pain had come from his own mistakes, and made him regret what he had done in the past. Depressed and guilty, he ventured out to Crash Town and looked for a place to die, and was uncaring of what befell him. His method of Dueling showed that as his monster's effects acted like Russian Roulette. But after seeing Yusei and the kids, West and Nico attempting to save him, Kalin regained his self-worth and kindness as he vowed to protect them and all the citizens of Crash Town.

As ===Crash Town===[[File:Kiryu_Enters.png|thumb|250px|left|Kalin in Crash Town.]]Following the events of the Dark Signers, Kalin says to Yusei resided in a town that was ruled by accepting Dueling. His appearance had gradually changed over the course of time; his fate, hair was much longer than before and he could return to show Yusei the fear wore a trench coat. He also carried around a harmonica around his neck (which he felt at that time. Intending to do this through often played) and his Earthbound Immortal cardpersonality showed no emotion; when he did show any emotion, he then summons Ccapac Apu once again trying to finally defeat Yusei with itwas of sadness, concern, or pity. However as Yusei manages to fend off He followed the Earthbound Immortal's assaultgang leader [[Radley]], the Immortal itself begins to trash the ground where the Duel is taking placeand a [[Radley Bunch|bunch]] of Duelists that dominated part of [[Crash Town]]. As [[Barbara]] told Yusei that Kalin began had come to have some difficulties with this, Yusei extends his hand to offer his help, symbolizing that occasion where Kalin risk his life town to save Yuseidie. However Kalin rejects it stating that its too late for said that he had forgotten the meaning of words such as satisfaction. He Dueled [[The Giant|one of the members]] of [[Malcolm Crew|another gang]] led by [[Malcolm]] and that it is completely pointlessultimately won against his opponent. After thisthe Duel, once Yusei summons [[Savior Star Dragon]]tried to talk to him, it ultimately takes down Ccapac Apubut he gave no reply as he rode off with Radley's gang.
By this, After the Duel Kalin loses and was in the end not only does he makes peace with himgang bar, but also reveals to Yusei left so he could be alone. Kalin still had another purpose besides that memories of revenge the time when he transformed into was a Dark Signer(how this occurred was unknown; it was possible that he remembered because he became a Dark Signer willingly, like [[Rex Goodwin|Rex]] and [[Roman Goodwin]], and that unwilling transformations like [[Carly Carmine|Carly's]] resulted in memory loss). That being Being left with the guilt from what he had done to hurt his friends, he struggled to end his life through the only thing that once mattered to him: Dueling. The next day Kalin challenged Yusei and revealed his intentions, and pleaded with him to defeat him so that he could die in the mountain. Kalin wanted fought hard, and refused to also carry out simply throw the Enforcer's Last Duel, and even resorted to Summon his "[[Infernity Doom Dragon (anime)|Infernity Doom Dragon]]". After that Kalin finally turns into dustUltimately, however, he was defeated by "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" again.
After the Duel, Yusei and Kalin were double-crossed by Barbara, who was secretly a member of Malcolm's gang. They were apprehended by the undertakers and taken to the mountain along with Radley after losing to Lawton, Malcolm's brother. Kalin went to work with no second thought; even Yusei couldn't convince him to escape otherwise. Yusei then punched him in the stomach and left him unconscious. He took Kalin and escaped, and as they did, they ran into [[Nico]] and [[File:KIRYUKWest]].jpg|thumb|Soon after, [[Lawton]] and Malcolm's gang members found them, Yusei went and Turbo Dueled Lawton, while Kalin, after returning was running away with Nico and West in a miner cart from Malcolm's gang members. Kalin managed to lifesteal a [[Duel Runner]]from one of the members of Malcolm's gang, and used it to get to the Duel between Lawton and Yusei. In an attempt to get rid of them, Lawton threw dynamite at them, which caused the mine to collapse and left Kalin and Yusei in a crevice, while West and Nico were taken as hostages by Lawton. After visiting the graves of those who went to the mountain, Kalin vowed to fight for those either still working in the mountain or had lost their lives because of it and to save West and Nico, and called himself a "Death God".
When Rex Goodwin is defeated Returning to Crash Town, to the shock of Lawton and the others, he and Yusei engaged in a 2 vs 1 Duel with Lawton, to free the town from his horrid rule. Though their Duel was coming to an end, Lawton's men interrupted and proceeded to stop Yusei and Kalin. But the members had a change of heart and decided to hold back. Lawton and Barbara attempted to make a final battlegetaway but were stopped by Crow and Jack. In one last attempt, Lawton detonated the explosives in the city, which created a diversion. Kalin gave chase on Yusei's Duel Runner and caught him in order to finish his last turn. Lawton, knowing his top card was a spell card that would render Kalin's "[[Infernity Doom Slinger]]" useless, agreed to finish the Duel. But Kalin used the effect of "[[King Infernity Climber]]" to draw this card instead of his spell card, using the Underworld]] is destroyedeffect of "Infernity Doom Slinger", and finished off Lawton (In the dub, Kalin is restored , after catching up to lifeLawton, along with restrains him until Sector Security arrived as Kalin believed he didn't deserve to end the other Dark Signers except Duel properly for Roman and Goodwin himselfbeing a coward). HoweverAfter that, like Carly Kalin stayed in town to watch over its expected for him reconstruction, and to have no memory watch over the kids, West and Nico. In honor of ever being a Dark Signerhis team, he renamed Crash Town, '''Satisfaction Town'''.
After these events===Ark Cradle===In episode 150, he is said was cheering on Yusei. Two episodes later, Kalin reappeared and was seen being defeated by Jack in Satisfaction Town as Jack was self-training himself to have gone on once again regain his crown as the King of Turbo Duels.
