Crow Hogan ( ARC - V ) Crow Hogan ( クロウ ・ ホーガン , " Kurou Hōgan " ) is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime . He is an alternate universe version of the Crow Hogan that appeared in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " anime . He is a Duelist of the Synchro Dimension , and lives in the slums of New Domino City where he takes care of three orphans : Frank , Amanda and Tarren . After the Obelisk Force ' s attack , Crow becomes one of the few Synchro allies of the Lancers who believes in the threat of Duel Academy and pledges his support , eventually joining the Lancers . Design . Appearance . Crow ' s design is virtually identical to that of his " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " counterpart . He has dark - grey eyes and orange hair restrained by a leather band with twin rings piercing it , as well as several criminal mark s on his face ( in this incarnation given to him in some way in re - education camps ) , an " M " and a dot on his forehead , and a full - cheek line and triangle on each side of his face . His ears have piercings with bolts hanging from them . Crow wears a simple orange shirt and teal pants with knee pads . He wears a brown sleeveless vest over it and elbow length fingerless gloves , with studded bands strapped around his wrists and forearms , and heavily strapped tan boots . He wears a black helmet with wing - like attachments while riding his Duel Runner . Personality . Crow Hogan has a similar personality to his " 5D ' s " counterpart . He deeply cares for the children he looks after , shown when he got angry at Sector Security when they approached them . He also respects those who protect children , telling Yuya Sakaki that he was impressed with him protecting Riley whilst Dueling Security . He opposes them stealing when he got angry at Frank and Tarren for stealing and likewise when he was arrested , he told the children not to steal . Though he cares about his friends , he believes people should look after their own group when he rejected Yuya from joining his escape plan , though he later changed his mind after being convinced by Gong Strong , who noticed Yuya was upset since he was worried about Zuzu Boyle . He dislikes the Topsiders , seeing them as repressive and unfair , but is not a rebellious about it as his friend Shinji Weber , being open to other , less violent options . Where Shinji considers an all - out revolution the only option for improving the Commons ' life standards , Crow once believed a Common rising to Duel King like Jack Atlas did would allow said individual to turn society around from the inside , although this turned out to be a deception as Jack never changed anything . Like many Commons , Crow considers Jack a traitor for this reason and urged Yuya to crush him during their Turbo Duel . Notably , rather than insult the Topsiders while he continued Shinji ' s cause , Crow instead focused on emphasizing the bonds that the Commons share between one another . He gets into silly quarrels easily , as shown where he and Yuya got into an argument about their reasons for Dueling . Biography . History . At some point , Crow was marked extensively on the face in re - education camps . Crow was driving home one day when he saw Amanda , Tarren , and Frank huddled in an alley . Crow brought them home and fed them , scolding them when they ate too quickly , and laughing for the first time in years at their antics . He decided to take care of them from that point on . Friendship Cup . When Sector Security turned the tables on Lancers Yuya Sakaki , Celina , Riley Akaba and Sylvio Sawatari by gathering more units , Crow appeared alongside four other Turbo Duelists . Crow darkened the skies by Synchro Summon ing " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " as a distraction . He and his allies helped the Lancers escape by pulling them away on their Duel Runner s . After seeing his comrades off , Crow complimented Yuya for protecting Riley throughout their ordeal with Sector Security . He and Amanda invited the group in to share the day ' s spoils . When Sylvio confused Crow with an unstructured explanation of how they were from a different Dimension , he stopped him and told them the Lancers could stay until Sector Security calmed down . Tarren and Frank returned in the evening with food they stole , which angered Crow . He told the Lancers about the Facility Sector Security sent in order to apprehend those who opposed the Topsiders - Commons split , only for Frank and Tarren to remember that Yuya and Celina resembled Yugo and Zuzu . Crow offered to go look for them in the Lancers ' place , since they were still wanted by Sector Security . As Sector Security were crawling all over New Domino City , Crow was forced to return empty - handed , explaining the fate of the history of Turbo Duels to the Lancers . Frustrated with the lack of results , Celina decided to go out herself and Sylvio accompanied her , much to Crow ' s anger . Yuya and Riley remained with Crow , and Shinji later stopped by with sweets for the kids . Crow was finally able to coax some words out of Riley , though he didn ' t realize that Riley was being serious when the kid asked if he was being ordered to eat and Crow jokingly ordered him to wash his hands . As they watched the kids , Yuya expressed his wish to make everyone in the world happy and smiling . Crow skeptically replied that it was a full stomach that mattered and the two quickly got into an argument that they decided to settle with a Duel . Yuya Pendulum Summon ed on the first turn , entertaining the children , and Crow took the second turn , using his " Blackwing s " to Synchro Summon " Raikiri " , commenting that Pendulum Summoning wasn ' t the only means of Summoning multiple monsters . Both Crow and Yuya urged the kids to support them , but the kids were on the fence about the affair . Shinji suddenly arrived and warned them that Sector Security were her , but he was too late to stop Sector Security arresting the group and Shinji , having been led there by the returning Sylvio and Celina . Bound in a net , Crow furiously yelled at the Sector Security officers to leave the children alone . Crow , Shinji , Yuya , Celina , and Sylvio were all taken to the Facility , where Celina was separated from them . Before being dragged away , Crow told the kids to eat properly , and Shinji reassured him that their friends would look after the kids . Upon their arrival into the Facility , they were roomed with Gong Strong and Dennis McField , two of Yuya ' s friends . Crow and the others suffered from bullying in the mess hall , and Crow was angered enough to the point that he was ready to start a fight , but Gong and Dennis prevented them from fighting so that they wouldn ' t get sent to solitary . After being forced to clean the bathrooms , Crow and the others learned of the Facility ' s system of card bribes , and they were called by the " boss " of the prisoners , Chojiro Tokumatsu , to offer up card bribes in exchange for preferential treatment . Yuya led them all in refusal , engaging Chojiro in a Duel . During the Duel , Crow realized that Chojiro was indeed the former Pro Duelist " Enjoy Chojiro " that he had idolized during his youth . Yuya ' s Dueling eventually caused Chojiro to return to his former style of Dueling , much to Crow ' s joy , and Yuya defeated Chojiro . Damon Lopez was admitted to the Facility the next day , and he made plans with Crow and Shinji to organize a breakout . Unwilling to bring the Lancers with them , yet also unwilling to have them suffer the consequences of their escape , Crow began to distance himself from Yuya , telling him that they weren ' t friends any longer . Gong eventually noticed Crow , Shinji , and Damon removing a fan to expose an event , and convinced him to let the Lancers assist in the escape . Crow alerted Yuya to the change in plans with a thumbs up . However , they were discovered by one of the guards , alerting them to the breakout . Crow was attacked by a large Facility guard , but he was saved by Sylvio , and Crow managed to escape with Shinji and Damon . The three Commons were joined by Dennis and Celina , and later the other Lancers and Chojiro , but when they tried to swim from the Facility , they were re - arrested by Jean - Michel Roget , the Director of Sector Security . Before Roget could take them away , envoys of the High Council intervened on their behalf and brought the captives to them , where Declan Akaba , the leader of the Lancers , had been meeting with them . Crow learned of the war between the dimensions and despite his protests , he was entered into the Friendship Cup . Yuya was selected to be the opponent in an exhibition match against Jack Atlas , and before Crow was taken away , he urged Yuya to crush Jack , calling Jack a traitor . Crow Dueled Gong for the first match of the first round . Although unwilling to entertain the Topsiders , he decided to win and show the kids that the Commons could win . However , when he saw the kids being chased by the staff in the stadium , he became distracted and didn ' t focus completely on the Duel . Gong was able to back Crow into a corner by using a Pendulum - Synchro Summon to bring out " Superheavy Samurai Beast Kyubi " and set himself up for a winning attack . Gong told Crow that he couldn ' t win if his heart was in turmoil , and the kids cheering Crow on snapped him out of his daze . Performing a risky maneuver , Crow grabbed " Evasion " to negate the attack , and he brought out " Assault Blackwing - Kusanagi the Gathering Storm " on his next turn to win the Duel . Admitting that " Kyu - B " had given him trouble , Crow and Gong congratulated one another on a good Turbo Duel and Gong left the arena . Shinji was up next , Dueling Moon Shadow , and Shinji rallied the Commons in the crowd against the Topsiders the entire Duel , eventually winning . Crow decided to fight alongside Shinji . He watched the other Duels of the first round , including the brutal climax of Shay ' s Duel with Dennis McField , which revealed Dennis as part of Duel Academy . Friendship Cup Finals . He watched Zuzu Boyle ' s Duel against Sergey Volkov and was shocked to see Zuzu ' s brutal defeat . He was surprised after learning that Yuya would Duel Shinji in the second round . Crow mused to himself on his broken trust in Jack for failing to change things for the Commons , and that Shinji ' s revolution would not have been the only way to change things . Crow was later surprised to witness Yuya Synchro Summon " Enlightenment Paladin " and defeat Shinji . He was later called to Duel Shay Obsidian in the second round . Crow mused to himself that if Shinji was correct , then Yuya was also a traitor . Not knowing who he was able to trust , he resolved to keep winning so he could challenge and defeat Jack . Crow and Shay interrupted Melissa Trail ' s speculations about Yuya so that they could Duel as soon as possible . Confused by Shay associating him with Duel Academy , Crow traded blows with his " Raidraptor - Rise Falcon " evenly for the first few turns using " Raikiri " , encouraging the Commons by praising the bonds that they had with one another . Both Crow and Shay rudely dismissed the other ' s claims , Shay revealing that he didn ' t see the Lancers , who Crow believed to be associated with the Topsiders , as comrades , and Shay destroyed " Raikiri " by Ranking - Up " Rise Falcon " into " Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon " . Shay continued to urge Crow to come at him , and Crow delivered , using " Blackwing - Gofu the Vague Shadow " to block Shay from getting an Action Card and then Phantom Synchro Summon ing " Raikiri " from the Graveyard . Much to his shock , Crow saw Frank , Amanda and Tarren watching the Duel from an overpass with Zuzu , and he berated them for being in a dangerous location . Shay began telling Crow to stop the Duel , but Crow refused and destroyed " Blaze Falcon " . Shay Ranked - Up again and brought out " Raidraptor - Revolution Falcon " , finally getting Crow to see what he ' d been talking about - Tarren had fallen and was hanging on to " Raikiri ' s " back . Crow desperately attempted to maneuver Tarren back to the others , but Tarren lost his grip and fell . Shay saved him and brought him back to Zuzu and the other kids before returning to the Duel . Realizing that Shay had seen Tarren fall , Crow thanked Shay , who thanked him in turn for reminding him of what he was fighting for . Crow commented that Duel Academy was a large foe for Shay to fight , and Shay replied that the same could be said for the Topsiders . Crow agreed , and the two fist - bumped before continuing the Duel . Shay Ranked - Up " Revolution Falcon " into " Raidraptor - Satellite Cannon Falcon " and then into " Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon " and destroyed " Raikiri " again . Crow was only just able to save himself from defeat , and he drew " Blackwing - Bora the Spear " on his next turn , using it to set up a chain of Synchro Summon s to re - Summon " Raikiri " in an attempt to destroy " Ultimate Falcon " . When Shay didn ' t move for an Action Card , Crow correctly deduced that " Ultimate Falcon " was unaffected by his card effects and instead brought out " Assault Blackwing - Onimaru the Divine Thunder " to win the Duel . Before Shay was taken away , the two exchanged promises to continue fighting their enemies , and they parted as comrades . Crow watched the Duel between Yugo and Celina , and he initially assumed that Celina had the Duel in the bag , but he was proven wrong when Yugo was able to turn the tables and win . Crow was later called during the night rather than the next day for his semi - final match against Yuya , and he continued to vow to win his way through the tournament . Before his Duel with Yuya , he apologized for suspecting that Yuya was allied with the Topsiders , having realized after his Duel with Shay that this was false . After Crow explained to Yuya his vow to win the tournament , Yuya informed Crow of Jean - Michel Roget ' s plan to take over New Domino City and the imprisonment of Riley and Declan Akaba in the Capital Building . Crow agreed to assist him , and he and Yuya vowed to have a real match later . The two put on a show to distract the crowd , while Yuya prepared to leap from his Duel Runner at the right time in order to assist the Akabas . To Crow ' s surprise , instead of jumping , Yuya instead was wracked with spasms of pain and began to Duel aggressively , Pendulum Summoning " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " . Deciding that this was evidence that Yuya was indeed allied with the Topsiders , Crow retaliated , Synchro Summoning " Raikiri " and wiping Yuya ' s field before scoring a direct attack . Yuya revived " Odd - Eyes " and Xyz Summoned " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " in response on his next turn . Crow was surprised to see the Summoning of " Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon " and experienced the dangerous Summoning of the monster when Yuya is in the Awakened state . He used Blackbird ' s flight mode to fly across a gap made by a failed change in Duel lanes . This dangerous gap in the air made Crow doubt Yuya ' s so - called association with the Topsiders . Concerned that he may have misunderstood the whole situation with Yuya and the Lancers , Crow tried to talk to Yuya , only to become the first person to see Yuya and his eyes in the Awakened state . He was intimidated by the look , and realized that something was wrong with him . Sora ' s surprise entrance confirmed his concerns and friendship with Yuya as well as allowing him to witness the arrival of the Obelisk Force : the dreaded threat that Zuzu and the Lancers have been desperately warning about . Crow was eventually defeated by the effect of " Supreme Wing " , but before he was taken to the Underground Labor Facility , he managed to tell Yuya about Sora and the Obelisk Force looking for Celina . He urged Yuya to never mind him and go after Sora . In the Underground , Crow kept warning the officials about the arrival of the strange people , and learned through Shay that they were the Obelisk Force . He reunited with Gong and Sylvio , and told them about Sora ' s presence in the dimension as well as Shay ' s suspicions of the Obelisk Force . His report was confirmed to be true a few moments later when Moon Shadow arrived , rescued Shay , and requested their assistance to protect Celina and help Riley . He was shocked to learn Riley was fighting . Crow also reunited with Amanda , Frank , and Tarren and assisted them , Chojiro , and Gong in looking for Zuzu . He and the kids followed the escaped Lancers a while later by escaping the Underground thanks to the riot . Crow ordered the children to avoid both Sector Security and the Obelisk Force . He split up with them to find Yuya , Sora , and Celina , intending to assist them if they couldn ' t protect Celina on their own . He began to distrust Shinji ' s revolution once he rescued and comforted a frightened child from the Topsiders . Crow rescued Damon , Tony , and Shinji from Sector Security and called them out for not listening to Zuzu ' s broadcast . At this point , Crow revealed that he believed in the Lancers , and believed in the threat of Duel Academy that Zuzu , Shay , Yuya , and Sora talked about . Crow tried to convince them that Duel Academy was a much more dangerous threat than the Topsiders , and he told Shinji to stop the revolution . Blinded by anger and years of the Topsiders ' abuse , his friends refused to listen . Crow was about to Duel against them after they challenged him when Yuya ' s broadcast stopped them and surprised him . While he and Shinji were surprised by Yuya ' s mention of them in his short speech before the Duel , it did not end the confrontation between him and his former friends until Shay arrived and presumably ended the situation . He , Shinji , Damon , and Tony raced to join Yuya ' s Duel with Jack and voiced out his encouragement and support . They simultaneously announced the effect of " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " with Yuya and watched Yuya deal the final blow . Crow was present to hear from Sora ' s broadcast about Roget ' s latest actions as well as Zuzu ' s status . He and Jack raced off after Yuya with their Duel Runner s and broke through the glass doors of the Sector Security building . They ran around with Yuya , looking for Zuzu , and reunited with Riley and Moon Shadow . They learned that Declan was Dueling Roget in a locked room trying to rescue Zuzu . Once Sora arrived and confirmed that he could open the locked door , Jack and Crow exchanged glances and left the Lancers . The two successfully set up an ambush on Roget , simultaneously creating a chance to free Zuzu . Crow and Jack voiced their anger when they , with their ace monsters out , caught up with Roget and Zuzu in the elevator . After Jack had " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " destroy the elevator and caused Roget to fall down the shaft , Crow watched the reunion of Yuya and Zuzu . Unfortunately , Roget survived the assault and Crow witnessed Roget ' s confessions to his schemes of trapping New Domino City in the space between dimensions and capturing the Lancers for Duel Academy ; Crow was helpless to stop him as " Raikiri " was disintegrated by the shockwaves . Crow watched in further shock as Roget disappeared into a wormhole , and as a second wormhole appeared moments later to pull in Zuzu , Yuya , Shay , Gong , and Sylvio . He and Jack went speechless with what just happened and asked Declan what was going on . Declan and Sora explained what wormholes were and how they swallowed Roget , Zuzu , and some of the Lancers , as well as their potential fates . The group worriedly looked up to the skylight out of the remains of the Sector Security building , unable to find out the missing Lancers ' whereabouts . Heartland City . Sector Security were disbanded and New Domino City was given over to the citizens . Crow was going to stay and help with the rebuilding , but Shinji and Chojiro urged the Lancers to do their duty instead , and Crow and Sora joined the remaining Lancers and traveled to the Fusion Dimension . Procuring a speedboat , the Lancers caught up with Captain Cutter ' s ship just in time to see Yuya fall from the mast . Crow Synchro Summoned " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " and saved him . He was worried when Cutter used " Grand Naval Battle " to shoot at their speedboat and watched Yuya and Sora defeat Cutter . When Declan revealed to Yuya that New Domino City was now equal , Crow also explained that they were going help with the rebuilding effort , but Shinji and Chojiro told them to leave New Domino City to them . When Crow wondered why Yuya ' s dad would go to Duel Academy , Declan revealed to everyone how he went to Duel Academy three years ago and asked Yuya ' s father for help . He learned that Declan found out about Revival Zero , another part of the Professor ' s plan involving Celina and Yuri , and possibly Yuya as well . Declan told Crow and the other Lancers to believe in their friends ' strength and fight to the very end . After arriving at Duel Academy , Crow prepared to climb the cliff to charge into the Professor ' s lab . Crow used the Blackbird to scale the cliff , but they were surrounded by Duel Academy students . Having anticipated this , the Lancers split into two groups ; Yuya , Gong , Sylvio , Crow , and Moon Shadow Dueled the students , while Declan ' s group continued to the lab . The students eventually retreated , and the Lancers pursued them , but fell into a trap and were captured in energy nets . They were forced into a Survival Duel with five Duel Academy students that would only leave one man standing . Yuya and Sylvio argued over the ethics of the Survival Duel , but Crow told Yuya that they had to survive and escape in order to help Yusho and Zuzu . Moon Shadow went ahead to provide reconnaissance , but they soon heard a scream . They ran to the location and found a Duel Academy student sealed into a card . Another student emerged from the bushes in terror , and Sylvio pursued him ; Crow tried to follow , but soon ended up on his own . While walking around , he noted that Duel Academy were more rotten than Sector Security . He was struck by something from behind and noticed Moon Shadow moving through the treetops . He later heard Sylvio ' s scream and ran after him . Crow continued looking for Sylvio and found him climbing back up the Duel arena . He noticed someone watching them before two more students arrived . They challenged them to a Duel , but someone intruded in the Duel and remained in hiding , despite Crow calling out for the Duelist to reveal himself . The two students were sealed into cards by the hidden Duelist , and Crow continued to call out for the Duelist to reveal himself . Crow and Sylvio fled , and Crow decided that Sylvio couldn ' t defeat the Duelist and had " Raikiri " attack Sylvio directly and damage his Duel Disk to save him from being sealed into a card . " Raikiri " was destroyed , so Crow activated " Blackwing - Last Will " in an attempt to defeat the Duelist . Though he was unable to defeat the Duelist , he succeeded in revealing him as the Battle Beast , who pinned him down . Yuya and Gong arrived , and Crow admitted that it seemed that it was the end for him and apologized to both Yuya and Frank , Amanda , and Tanner . With a final grin , Crow was sealed into a card by the Battle Beast . Moments later , the remorseless Battle Beast attempted to step on the card that contained Crow , but Sylvio was able to recover the card . Duel Academy . Crow surprised everyone after being unsealed from his card and joined the Duel with Sylvio against Zarc before Jack was defeated . They both received intrusion penalties and told Sylvio he can ' t bring it just by himself . After learning everything from Sylvio , Crow told Zarc he will inherit his fallen comrades thoughts and defeat him . Crow tried to make Yuya remember his past by telling him that he learned how smiles were important as well from him . He also told Yuya that he was grateful to him for bringing peace to the Synchro Dimension . He Synchro Summon ed " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " while Zarc brought out " Supreme King Servant Dragon Clear Wing " during Crow ' s turn due to its own effect . When Zarc used the effect of " Clear Wing " to negate " Raikiri ' s " effects and destroy it , Crow used " Black Feather Illusion " to revive " Raikiri " with its effects negated . Yelling its his Dueltainment , Crow then attacked " Clear Wing " but Zarc used the effect of " Clear Wing " to negate " Raikiri ' s " attack , destroy it , and inflict damage equal to its ATK . However , Crow used " Black Feather Reverse " to negate the damage and Special Summon " Assault Blackwing - Chidori the Rain Sprinkling " from his Extra Deck . " Chidori " gained 300 ATK for each Blackwing in the graveyard and Crow destroyed " Clear Wing " . When Zarc tried to use the Pendulum Effect of " Supreme King Gate Zero " to negate the damage , Crow used the effect of " Black Feather Illusion " in his graveyard by banishing it to negate " Zero ' s " effect . " Chidori " was forced to attack " Supreme King Z - ARC " and was destroyed , allowing Zarc to Special Summon two " Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm s " from his Extra Deck . Crow used the second effect of " Chidori " to revive " Raikiri " and used the effect of " Raikiri " to destroy " Supreme King Dance " , but Zarc used the effect of " Dance " to prevent it from being destroyed by a card effect once per turn . Crow learned that Zarc didn ' t want to lose badly , but told him he won ' t understand true victory if he doesn ' t know defeat . He also told Zarc how the Commons been losing all time and were overjoyed when peace returned to New Domino . Crow told Yuya not to forget that and told Zarc there ' s no shame in losing , but was embarrassing to lie about being afraid of losing . He ended his turn and told Sylvio it was up to him now . When Sylvio used " Abyss Script - Abysstainment " again , Crow noted that " Supreme King Dance " couldn ' t be activated due to " Abyss Actor - Superstar " being Level 7 . However , when Zarc used every monster he destroyed to protect " Zarc " , Crow wondered what was their purpose of being there . He then noticed Leo Akaba intruding the Duel . His " Chidori " and Sylvio ' s " Superstar " were then forced to attack " Zarc " and destroyed with the effect of " Odd - Eyes " doubling the damage . Crow and Sylvio were defeated and sent flying into the roof of a building . When Leo sent " Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler " to the graveyard , Crow noted it would just solidify Zarc ' s protection . He told Declan that Yuya ' s soul was absolutely inside of Zarc . He and Sylvio were happy when Declan managed to dealt damage to Zarc . Crow was surprised when he thought " Zarc " killed Declan , but was happy Moon Shadow came back and saved Declan . He and Jack were happy when Ray turned all of Zarc ' s Synchro Monsters into Normal Monster s with their effects negated . Following the battle against Zarc , Crow returned to the Fusion Dimension to bring Yuya his Duel Runner and Turbo suit for his Duel against Jack and told him everyone was looking forward to it , admitting his jealousy . He then watched the Duel with Shay , Sora , and Alexis Rhodes and was worried when Yuya was pushed into a corner . Crow was surprised when he learned that " Starving Venom Fusion Dragon " had the effect to negate and steal monster effects and add those monsters ATK to its own . When Yuya used the stolen effect of " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , Crow already knew Jack was anticipating it . He bump fists with Shay when Yuya won and watched his Duel with Declan . Crow was surprised when Yuya Fusion Summoned " Odd - Eyes Venom Dragon and when Yuya destroyed " Odd - Eyes Wing Dragon " on purpose to Xyz Summon " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon " . Crow was also shocked when he thought Yuya defeated Declan and watched Yuya lower all monsters ATK to 0 with the effect of " Performapal Five - Rainbow Magician " . He watched Yuya and Declan gather action cards to in order for one of them to win the Duel first due to " Five - Rainbow Magician ' s " effect . Crow was happy when Yuya won and was sent to the Pendulum Dimension by Ray to witness her revival as Zuzu . Relationships . Frank , Amanda , and Tarren . When Crow found and fed the three orphans , he noted to himself that they had made him smile for the first time in ages , and decided to take care of them . Crow cares deeply for their safety , and he insists that they live honest lives and gets angry if they steal food . When he was captured by Sector Security , Crow told them not to worry about him and urged them to eat properly , and he worried for their safety until Shinji reassured him that the children would be taken care of . After the arrival of the Obelisk Force , Crow began to assist in the three ' s efforts to find Zuzu and get her under the protection of the Lancers . Hiding away from Security and the Obelisk Force after escaping the Underground thanks to Shinji ' s rebellion , Crow cautioned them to be careful of both Duel Academy ( an unknown enemy with unknown strengths ) and Security , and warned that he would join the fight with the Lancers if they needed help . It is thanks to the three children knowing much more about Sora , Zuzu , and Duel Academy than Crow himself did that Crow deepens his trust and care for Yuya , Celina , and Zuzu . When Crow was sealed into a card by the Battle Beast , he apologized to the children in his final moments . Shinji Weber . Crow and Shinji are longtime friends and consider one another comrades . Shinji assists Crow in taking care of Frank , Amanda and Tarren . When Shinji began using the Friendship Cup to push for a revolution , Crow decided to assist him , though he noted that a revolution wasn ' t the only way to solve the Commons ' problems and rather than attack the Tops , he focuses purely on emphasizing the bonds of the Commons . Yuya Sakaki . Crow and Yuya became fast friends after Crow witnessed Yuya protecting Riley Akaba . Yuya in turn respected and was grateful to Crow for saving the Lancers from Sector Security . Crow was initially skeptical of Yuya ' s claims of being from a different dimension , but he seemingly accepted this quickly . Crow and Yuya ' s relationship underwent some friction when Crow tried to distance himself from Yuya in order to ensure that Yuya would not be punished after Crow escaped from the Facility , though they later mended this rapport . Unfortunately , Crow ' s opinion of Yuya was soured again after Shinji ' s argument with Jean - Michel Roget and he began to believe that Yuya was associated with the Tops . He changed his mind after learning of Duel Academy from Shay Obsidian and happily assisted Yuya in an attempt to rescue Declan Akaba and Riley , but after Yuya failed to make his jump and began to attack Crow aggressively ( due to being affected by Roget ' s torture ) , Crow returned to believing that Yuya was indeed associated with the Tops . This association was formally proven false to Crow after both were in danger due to failed changes in Duel lanes brought about by Yuya ' s Summoning of " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon " and after Crow saw Yuya ' s terrifying eyes . Their friendship and Crow ' s care for Yuya was further strengthened when Sora appeared and informed Crow that Yuya was not normal and something was not right . Disregarding his own safety that was threatened by " Odd Eyes Rebellion Dragon " , Crow earnestly and successfully ended the Awakened state , but he accidentally cost himself the victory . He was relieved when Yuya woke up and was back to normal , and told Yuya about Sora , the appearance of the Obelisk Force and the realization that Celina was in danger . Crow urged Yuya to flee and find Sora and help Celina and told him not to worry about Crow . Crow continued to show his trust and alliance with Yuya in his attempts to find Celina and stop Shinji and his revolution . He watched with pride Yuya ' s Duel against Jack , and tried to help the Lancers stop Roget . Crow later joined the Lancers and saved Yuya from Captain Cutter , and later apologized to him when he was sealed into a card by the Battle Beast . Shay Obsidian . As one of Yuya ' s apparent comrades , Crow initially considered Shay to be associated with the Tops after Jean - Michel Roget and Shinji ' s argument and vowed to defeat him . He later realized that he and Shay were similar after the two of them talked properly after Shay had saved Tarren , and they quickly developed a more friendly rapport . After Shay was defeated , he and Crow parted as friends . Sylvio Sawatari . Despite an initially awkward relationship , Crow and Sylvio became friends with one another rather quickly , as shown when Sylvio let himself be a distraction while Crow escaped from the Facility with Shinji . After Crow was carded by the Battle Beast , Sylvio showed incredible guilt and sadness , carrying Crow ' s card with him right up until his revival . The two then teamed up to take on Zarc so that they could free Yuya from the Demon Duelist ' s hold . Deck . As he did in " 5D ' s " , Crow uses a " Blackwing " Deck . He uses a combination of " Blackwing " monsters that his " 5D ' s " counterpart used in addition to both new " Blackwing " and " Assault Blackwing " monsters , focusing on swarm ing the field with multiple monsters to perform Synchro Summon s . In comparison to his " 5D ' s " counterpart , Crow has a larger focus on low - Level monsters . His Synchro Monsters often have effects that allow them to be treated as Tuner monster s , effectively allowing Crow to perform pseudo - Accel Synchro Summon s . Because Commons find it difficult to own multiple copies of their monsters in their Extra Deck s , Crow includes several ways to protect and bring back his " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " and makes up for the additional space in his Extra Deck by using a wide array of low - Level Synchro Monsters , most of which are aimed to bring out his stronger monsters . In accordance with this mentality his Deck includes cards that protect his monsters from being destroyed and / or his Life Points .
