Eight years later , after realizing his Turbo Dueling team has nothing more to offer him nor does he have anymore more to offer them , he decided it is time to duel full - time on his own . Etymology . According to Katsumi Ono , the name Crow Hogan ( クロウ ・ ホーガン " Kurō Hōgan " ) is based on the title Kurō Hōgan ( 九郎 判官 " Kurō Hōgan " ) held by . Biography . History . Crow was orphaned after his parents died during the Zero Reverse incident . He had no other family or friends to take him in , so he was on his own . He didn ' t know when he would be able to find food , clothes , or a decent place to sleep , so he dreamed of soft beds and warm meals , felt that he could only rely on himself , and was lonely with only his shadow for company . He spent a lot of his time wandering around Satellite alone . Not having been to school , he could barely read , spell , write , and perform arithmetic . He never really enjoyed being on his own and not having rules to follow as it was dangerous for a child to be on their own in Satellite . Crow hoped most of all that he would one day become a professional Duelist and escape Satellite . One day , while wandering around a dump , he discovered some " Duel Monsters " cards , including " D . D . Crow " and " Crow Goblin " . He decided to use them to start a Deck with . While admiring the cards later , he met a group of people , who befriended him and taught him how to play " Duel Monsters " . Through Duel Monsters , Crow improved his reading , spelling , and arithmetic skills . While playing Duel Monsters with other children , he came to meet Jack Atlas and Yusei Fudo . The three of them were able to accept each other for who they were , and so became best friends , cared about each other , Dueled one another often for fun , and grew to be as close as brothers . Crow came to view them as his family . Martha became his caretaker and Crow accepted her as a foster - mother . While living in Martha ' s care , Crow enjoyed eating cup ramen and even ate from the same cup as Yusei at the same time . Crow set up a hideout near the Daedalus Bridge . Remembering how tough his own childhood was and that " Duel Monsters " had saved him , he began to take care of children who needed someone to look after them in the area . He fed them and let them live with him . Crow also supplied them with " Duel Monsters " cards he would steal for them and taught them all how to Duel . His crimes led to him getting three criminal mark s for his actions . As a teenager , Crow and his friends Jack and Yusei met Kalin Kessler . The three of them were able to accept Kalin and became best friends with him . They cared about him and grew close to him as a brother and a comrade . The four of them formed a Duel Gang , The Enforcers , with Kalin as their leader in order to make the most of living in poor conditions in Satellite . With the team , Crow earned the nickname of " Crow the Bullet . " The Enforcers began to Duel other Duel Gangs and take over the various sectors of Satellite . The four of them Dueled while connecting Deathmatch Duel Rope s to their opponent ' s Duel Disk s , which would destroy them upon the opponent losing . In Sector D , Crow deliberately allowed the Magician ' s Four to defeat him . This triggered a transmitter inside his Duel Disk which allowed the rest of his friends to come to his aid and discover the lair . Together the four of them defeated the Magician ' s Four and took over their zone for themselves . When Crow , Jack , Kalin , and Yusei were facing another Duel Gang with the four of them being up against twenty members , Dueling several of them at once , one of the members attempted to kill Yusei by throwing him off of the roof . Kalin caught Yusei by the connected Duel Rope and pulled him up , saving his life . With that gang defeated , the Enforcers had captured all of the zones in Satellite . However , Kalin ' s personality began to change for the worse . He became cruel , domineering , and unpredictable , letting the power get to his head . After he assaulted a little kid from a Dueling Gang after he had defeated him in a Duel , Crow attempted to stop him but Kalin punched him . Jack and Yusei broke up the fight . Afterwards Crow and Jack left the team . Crow and Jack rejoined the team to help Kalin after he was pursued by Sector Security . However Kalin was arrested and the team disbanded .

As Crow tried to deal with two intruders , Robert Pearson appeared along with Bolton . Pearson and Bolton Dueled against the two individuals . Crow finds out that Pearson also looks out for children in Satellite . However , Pearson is different from Crow due to the fact that he made sure that the kids can fulfill their own potential . Their shared objective is why Crow helped Pearson with his research , which was an engine made from junk from the Satellite . Later on , Crow arrived at the scene of a fire , where he found Pearson . Knowing that he can ' t be saved , Pearson asked Crow to take his Duel Runner , and then gave him his Duel Disk . The Duel Runner , the Blackbird , has a set of retractable wings , inspired by the Daedalus Bridge legend . Unbeknownst to Crow , hidden inside the Blackbird was the card " Black - Winged Dragon " .

After Yusei recovers from surgery , Crow is glad that his friend recovered . When Lazar goes to Satellite on Goodwin ' s behalf , Crow sees him , and mistakes him for a Dark Signer . He tries to capture Lazar , but what he caught was a substitute .

When Rex uses the effect of " Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca " to lower Crow ' s Life Points to 1 , he is blown out of the geoglyph from a combination of the effect and one of the creatures from the King of the Netherworld . He uses the flight mode on his Duel Runner to fly back up and take out Rex ' s " Moon Dragon Quilla " , as well as activating his " Blackwing Anchor " Trap Card . Crow then lands on the geoglyph but as one of his Duel Runner ' s wings break , he then falls down and is unable to continue with the Duel .
