After these events, he is said to have was gone on a trip, according to [[Luna]].
===Crash Town===
[[File:Kiryu_Enters.png|thumb|250px|left|Kalin in Crash Town.]]Following the events of the Dark Signers, Kalin resides resided in a town that is was ruled by duelingDueling. His appearance has had gradually changed over the course of time; his hair is was much longer than before and wears he wore a trench coat. He also carries carried around a harmonica around his neck (which he plays oftenplayed) and his personality shows showed no emotion; when he does did show any emotion , it is was of sadness, concern, or pity. He follows followed the gang leader [[RamonRadley]], and a [[Radley Bunch|bunch ]] of duelists Duelists that dominate dominated part of [[Crash Town]]. [[Barbara]] tells told Yusei that Kalin came had come to this town to die. Kalin says said that he has had forgotten the meaning of words such as satisfaction. He duels Dueled [[The Giant|one of the members ]] of [[Malcolm Crew|another gang ]] led by [[Malcolm]] and ultimately wins won against his opponent. After the Duel, Yusei tries tried to talk to him, but he gives gave no reply as he rides rode off with RamonRadley's gang.
After the duel Duel Kalin is was in the gang bar, but leaves left so he can could be alone. Kalin still has had memories of the time when he 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). Being left with the guilt from what he had done to hurt his friends, He now struggles he struggled to end his life through the only thing that once matters mattered to him: duelingDueling. The next day Kalin challenges challenged Yusei and reveals revealed his intentions, pleading Yusei and pleaded with him to defeat him so that he can could die in the mountain. Kalin fought hard, and refused to simply throw the Duel, and even resorted to Summon his "[[Infernity Doom Dragon (anime)|Infernity Doom Dragon]]". Ultimately, however, he was defeated by "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" again.
After the duel Duel, Yusei and Kalin are were double-crossed by Barbara, who was secretly a member of Malcolm's gang, . They were apprehended by the undertakers and taken to the mountains mountain along with Ramon Radley after losing to LottenLawton, Malcolm's brother. Kalin gets 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 escape did, they run ran into [[Nico ]] and [[West]]. Soon after , [[LottenLawton]] and MalcomMalcolm's gang members find found them, Yusei goes went and turbo duels LottenTurbo Dueled Lawton, while Kalin is was running away with Nico and West in a miner cart from MalcomMalcolm's gang members. Kalin managed to steal 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".
==Deck=={| style="float:right;" border="Returning to Crash Town, to the shock of Lawton and the others, he and Yusei engaged in a 2 vs 1Duel 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 getaway 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 " width=[[Infernity Doom Slinger]]"30%useless, agreed to finish the Duel. But Kalin used the effect of "! colspan=[[Infernity Climber]]"2to draw this card instead of his spell card, using the effect of " style=Infernity Doom Slinger"background: #00FF00; text-align: center;" | Record|-| ', and finished off Lawton (In the dub, Kalin, after catching up to Lawton, restrains him until Sector Security arrived as Kalin believed he didn't deserve to end the Duel properly for being a coward). After that, Kalin stayed in town to watch over its reconstruction, and to watch over the kids, West and Nico. In honor of his team, he renamed Crash Town, 'Opponent''' || '''OutcomeSatisfaction Town'''.|-| [[Magician's Four]] leader || Win |-| [[Yusei Fudo]] || Interrupted |-===Ark Cradle===| [[In episode 150, he was cheering on Yusei Fudo]] || Lose|. Two episodes later, Kalin reappeared and was seen being defeated by Jack in Satisfaction Town as Jack was self-| [[Crashtown]] Duelist || Win|-| [[Yusei Fudo]] || Lose|}training himself to once again regain his crown as the King of Turbo Duels. Kalin told Jack that he had become a lot stronger since the days of the Enforcers but he was still not satisfied, with Jack agreeing.
In his early days, Kalin's Deck focused mainly on [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] monsters that had low levels and high attack points. After becoming a [[Dark Signer]], his deck changed to becoming an '''[[Infernity]] Deck''', which focuses on the use of his Dark Synchro Monster "[[One-Hundred Eyes Dragon]]" and its ability to use the effect of any [[DARK]] monster in his Graveyard when it's face-up on the field, primarily those of the "[[Infernity]]" series, which gains effects when the player has no cards in his hand. Kalin's "[[Earthbound Immortals|Earthbound Immortal]]" monster is "[[Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu|Ccapac Apu]]", which is also his ace monster, taking advantage that in a Turbo Duel, "[[Speed World]]" is always active adding the effect of "Ccapac Apu" making his "Earthbound Immortal" invincible against spells, traps, and monster attacks. ==Other appearances=={{Character other appearances}}
During Season 2 he still plays with the ==Decks=====Enforcers===As a member of [[InfernityThe Enforcers]] , Kalin used a different Deck, to the Decks he has new support now which seemed to make it better and fasterused later. Since Kalin isn't a Dark Signer anymore and has more While the nature of this Deck is unknown, [[InfernityYusei Fudo|Yusei]] cards, it is possible noted that Kalin focused on keeping his cards are his own before and after his time as a [[Dark Signerhand]]. In a sense, the Infernity cards, with their powerful effects and chancy condition (only able to use their effects while the controller has no hand) are symbolic of Kalin's situation: he has nothing left full to live for, as he's already powerful on keep his ownoptions open.
