Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s - Episode 086 " Duelist For Hire " , known as " Crash Town " in the Japanese version , is the eighty - sixth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " anime . It first aired in Japan on November 25 , 2009 and in the United States on November 27 , 2010 . Summary . Yusei rides through a desert area on the Yusei Go ( Yusei ' s thoughts are added to this scene in the dub ) . He stops , and looks down a cliff . He sees two men chasing what appear to be three escaped inmates . One of the inmates throws a pendant up to the cliff , which lands near Yusei . The two men activate a tazer function in the prisoners ' collars via their Duel Disk s ( in the dub , the electrocution happens off - screen , but is still implied by the reactions of the prisoners ) . The prisoners collapse , and Yusei asks the two men what they ' re doing . They respond that they ' re simply taking the man back to the mine . Saying that Yusei looks like a Duelist , they tell him that Crash Town would welcome him and that he could get much work . The men depart with the now - unconscious prisoners . Yusei picks up the man ' s pendent and thinks that he didn ' t come here for work - he came here to get back his friend ( in the dub , he thinks that he ' d better head to town ) . As he rides towards Crash Town , Yusei remembers the letter he received from a resident of the town named Barbara . She told him she had heard of Yusei ' s friendship with " him " and that she wants Yusei take " him " away from this town , as he ' ll surely die here ( in the dub " die " is replaced with " meet his doom " ) . As he dismounts the Yusei Go , three men dressed in the same outfits as the ones earlier approach him , challenging him to a Duel . Yusei responds that he only Duels Duelists ( in the dub , he tells them he doesn ' t Duel amateurs ) . The men surround him , and one tells him that insults like that will only " get him to Hell quicker " ( in the dub , the man states that this town belongs to them and that no one talks to them that way ) . Yusei is ready to accept their challenge , but is stopped by the arrival of Barbara , who reminds the thugs that Dueling before sundown is a violation of Crash Town ' s rules . She introduces herself to Yusei , telling him that it was she that wrote him the letter . Later , Barbara and Yusei talk on the cliff overlooking Crash Town . She tells Yusei that the time that the town ' s true troubles comes is at sunset , which is soon . Two groups of Duel Runner gangs enter the town from opposite directions . Barbara tells Yusei that the group with the red scarves are the Malcolm Group , led by Malcolm , while the other group is the Ramon Group ( Radley Bunch in the dub ) , led by Radley . Yusei asks what ' s going to happen , and Barbara tells him to just watch and see . Malcolm calls for the " sensei " of his group - a large man with a circular criminal mark ( in the dub , he is given the name " the Giant " ) . He asks who he ' ll be teaching a lesson too . Radley tells him that everyone talks big before a Duel starts , not knowing that those words will be their last ( in the dub , he insults the Giant ' s intelligence ) . Radley calls for his group ' s " sensei " , and Kalin Kessler emerges from the distance , playing a harmonica . Barbara tells Yusei that the town ' s Duel time is at sunset , and that by the time the sun finishes setting , one of the two Duelists will vanish . Barbara again tells Yusei to watch , as residents of the surrounding buildings pour out to watch the Duel as well . Two men dressed as undertakers emerge , riding a horse - drawn carriage . A small boy emerges from he crowd to watch , who seems to admire Kalin . Both Kalin and the Giant reach for the Duel Disks , which resemble Colt revolvers , as the crowd yells " Duel ! " ( " Draw ! " in the dub ) . Kalin activates his first , and per Crash Town rules , takes the first turn . Kalin Normal Summon s " Infernity Mirage " in Attack Position and Set s a card . Yusei says that Kalin seems different - the drive to Duel does not seem to be there . Barbara replies that Kalin came to this town as a man looking for a place to die ( in the dub , Barbara states he came to this town to punish himself for something he did in the past ) . Barbara points to the mountain and explains that in it is a mineral called dyne , which is used in the construction of Duel Runners . People rushed to the town to make money from mining the dyne . Malcolm and Radley were charge of the mining operation , and eventually started to using Duels to gather more miners . If one wins Duels here , they stand to make much money , but losers are sent to the mountain . Many great Duelists were tempted by the riches and ended up in the mines after losing . The Giant begins his turn , Normal Summoning " Illegal Keeper " in Attack Position . He knows his hand contains " Card Destruction " . If he plays it , the effect of " Illegal Keeper " will return the cards that Kalin draws to the Deck and inflict 1000 damage , as they were drawn outside the Draw Phase . He activates it , but Kalin activates his face - down " Full Salvo " , send ing his hand to the Graveyard and inflicting 200 damage to the Giant for each card sent , lowering the Giant to 3200 Life Points . In this way , " Card Destruction " has no effect on Kalin , as he has no hand to discard . Yusei knows that Kalin ' s ultimate strength is when he has no hand . Kalin activates the effect of " Infernity Mirage " , Tributing it to Special Summon two " Infernity " monsters from his Graveyard . He Special Summons " Infernity Archfiend " and " Infernity Destroyer " , both in Attack Position . Knowing he cannot destroy either monster this turn , the Giant ends his turn . Kalin draws and activates " Infernity Burst " , inflicting 800 damage for each " Infernity " monster he control s . The Giant is reduced to 1600 . " Infernity Destroyer " attacks and destroys " Illegal Keeper " , and the former ' s card effect activates , inflicting 1600 damage to Giant as Kalin has no hand . This wins Kalin the Duel . As the Giant ' s Life Points fall to zero , the undertakers approach in their carriage and lasso Kalin ' s fleeing opponent . They stuff him in a casket in the back of the wagon and take him to the mountains . Radley ' s group cheers as Barbara tells Yusei that the Giant will be a slave in the mines from now on . Yusei realizes that the three prisoners he saw earlier were running from the mines . Barbara states that Kalin is trying to kill himself using this town ( in the dub , Yusei asks why Kalin doesn ' t just lose on purpose , and Barbara tells him she has no answer for that ) . Radley states that this is Kalin ' s fiftieth win in a row , and Malcolm tells them that they ' ll both be going to the mountains next time . Both groups leave , and Yusei attempts to get Kalin to talk with him , but the latter ignores him and rides off . Later that night , Malcolm is enraged and drunk in the courtyard of his villa ( the bottles of alcohol are removed from the dub , as is a scene where he knocks out a henchman with a bottle ) . He muses that if Lawton was still here , Kalin would be nothing and be defeated " with one attack " . Yusei enters the courtyard , wearing a poncho and states he ' s looking for work . The three thugs that confronted him in town earlier approach him . Malcolm agrees to hire him if he proves himself by defeating the three . The three thugs draw their cards . Yusei does as well , revealing he has a revolver - Duel Disk like the rest . Yusei says he ' ll go first ( in the dub , he says " Get Your Game On ! , Jaden ' s dub catchphrase ) , Normal Summoning " Changer Synchron " in Defense Position and Setting a card . The first thug Normal Summons " Fuse Ray Blaster " in Attack Position and ends his turn , stating he can ' t attack since it is a Battle Royal . The second thug Normal Summons a " Fuse Ray Blaster " of his own , which triggers the effect of the first , inflicting 800 damage to Yusei . The third thug Normal Summons another " Fuse Ray Blaster " , reducing Yusei to 1600 Life Points via the effects of the first two . The thugs state that there are " more than enough bullets " remaining , as it ' s shown each of their hands contains two more " Fuse Ray Blasters " ( in the dub , they tell Yusei to give up ) . Yusei is nonplussed , brushing himself off and drawing . Yusei recalls Barbara explaining the plan to him - he ' ll get hired by Malcolm and then defeat Kalin the next night . Before they take him to the mountain , they ' ll take him back . Yusei sends the " Quillbolt Hedgehog " in his hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon " Quickdraw Synchron " from his hand . As he controls a Tuner monster , he Special Summons " Quillbolt Hedgehog " from his Graveyard . Yusei tunes the Level 2 " Quillbolt Hedghehog " with the Level 5 " Quickdraw Synchron " to Synchro Summon the Level 7 " Nitro Warrior " in Attack Position by treating " Quickdraw Synchron " as " Nitro Synchron " via its own effect . Yusei Normal Summons the Level 3 " Gauntlet Warrior " and then tunes it with the Level 1 " Changer Synchron " to Synchro Summon the Level 4 " Armory Arm " ( in the dub , a scene is added where a narrator incorrectly explains the effect of " Armory Arm " , stating that it can be equip ped to a Synchro Monster , when it can really be equipped to any monster ) . Since " Changer Synchron " was sent to the Graveyard , its effect activates , switching the third thug ' s " Fuse Ray Blaster " to Defense Position . Yusei activates the effect of " Armory Arm " , equipping it to " Nitro Warrior " to increase its ATK by 1000 . Yusei then equips " Nitro Warrior " with " Junk Barrage " . As a Spell Card was activated this turn , the ATK of " Nitro Warrior " rises by another 1000 via its own effect , to 3800 . " Nitro Warrior " attacks and destroys the second thug ' s " Fuse Ray Blaster " , defeating him , while the effect of " Nitro Warrior " switches the third thug ' s " Fuse Ray Blaster " to Attack Position . " Nitro Warrior " attacks and destroys it as well , defeating him . Yusei explains that that the effect of " Nitro Warrior " lets him switch a Defense Position monster to Attack Position and attack it if it destroys a monster by battle . Then , the effect of " Armory Arm " inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster ' s ATK . Then , the effect of " Junk Barrage " activates , inflicting damage equal to half the destroyed monster ' s ATK . Yusei activates his face - down " Synchro Overlimit " , allowing a Synchro Monster that destroyed a monster by battle this turn to attack again . " Nitro Warrior " attacks and destroys the first thug ' s " Fuse Ray Blaster " , defeating him . Thus , Yusei has preformed three OTK s . Yusei spins his Duel Disk on his finger and puts it back into the holster . Malcolm asks if he can hire Yusei to defeat Kalin , with Yusei telling him that the cost will be high ( in the dub , he says he was hoping Malcolm would ask him ) . Featured Duels .
