===Crash Town===[[File:Kiryu_Enters.png|thumb|250px|left|Kalin is in Crash Town.]]Following the events of the third Dark Signer Signers, Kalin resided in a town that was ruled by Dueling. His appearance had gradually changed over the course of time; his hair was much longer than before and he wore a trench coat. He also carried around a harmonica around his neck (which he often played) and his personality showed no emotion; when he did show any emotion, it was of sadness, concern, or pity. He followed the gang leader [[Radley]], and a [[Radley Bunch|bunch]] of Duelists that dominated part of [[Crash Town]]. [[Barbara]] told Yusei that Kalin had come to this town to die. Kalin 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 ultimately won against his opponent. After the Duel, Yusei tried to talk to be defeatedhim, but he gave no reply as he rode off with Radley's gang.

After the Duel Kalin was in the gang bar, but left so he could be alone. Kalin still 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 [[FileRoman 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 struggled to end his life through the only thing that once mattered to him:KIRYUKDueling. 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.jpg|thumb|Kalinfought hard, after returning and refused to lifesimply 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.

When Rex Goodwin is defeated 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 final battlestomach and left him unconscious.

In an attempt to get rid of them, Lawton threw dynamite at them, which caused the mine to lifecollapse and left Kalin and Yusei in a crevice, along with while West and Nico were taken as hostages by Lawton. After visiting the graves of those who went to the other Dark Signers except mountain, Kalin vowed to fight for Roman those either still working in the mountain or had lost their lives because of it and to save West and Nico, and Goodwin called himselfa "Death God".

After these eventsReturning to Crash Town, to the shock of Lawton and the others, he is said and Yusei engaged in a 2 vs 1 Duel with Lawton, to have gone 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 tripspell card that would render Kalin's "[[Infernity Doom Slinger]]" useless, according agreed to finish the Duel. But Kalin used the effect of "[[LunaInfernity Climber]]" to draw this card instead of his spell card, using the effect of "Infernity Doom Slinger", 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).

During Season 2 he still plays with ===Post-Dark Signer Infernity===After being freed from the [[InfernityDark Signer]] Decks, but he has new support now which seemed Kalin continues to make it better and faster. The reason for this is that since Kalin had use his own '''"[[Infernity]]" Deck taken away by Sector Security, if he never got it back, then the Infernity cards would be all he has left. In a sense, the Infernity cards, with their powerful effects and risky condition (only able to use their effects while the controller has no hand) are symbolic of Kalin's situation: he has nothing left to live for'', as he's already powerful on but without his own[[Dark Synchro Monster]] "One-Hundred Eyes Dragon" or "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu".
