Crow Hogan and Greiger's Turbo Duel

Crow Hogan and Greiger's Turbo Duel was a Turbo Duel between Crow Hogan and Greiger, which took place in Satellite, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.

Prior events
Devack's defeat was noticed by Roman Goodwin, when the left light of a three-pronged candelabra was blown out. So Roman heads to Greiger's cell and brings him over the old Ener-D reactor and reminds him of how Rex Goodwin destroyed Greiger's village. Roman tells Greiger to use that hatred as fuel in his next duel against Yusei Fudo. Next Roman opens a trap door beneath Greiger's feet and embue him with Ener-D, allowing Greiger to be reborn, as a Dark Signer.

Elsewhere, Crow Hogan manages to survive by hiding in an empty refrigerator. he explores Satellite only to find it devoid of people. When he returns to his hideout, he finds the kids he was caring for only for them to be nothing but spectres. This ultimately breaks Crow's heart.

Greiger, now a Dark Signer, rides around looking for Yusei, but Crow manages to find him. Crow accuses him and the other Dark Signers for taking away the lives of the children he cared for. Crow challenges Greiger to a duel, with both of them having the motivation of fighting for lost loved ones. Greiger refuses at first saying he only wishes to duel Yusei but Crow pulls out a timer. Crow claims it's an Electromagnetic charge that will shut down Greiger's runner, so Greiger accepts.

Greiger informs Crow that once the Shadow Duel starts, there will be no turning back and one of them will lose their soul. Crow refuses to receive concern from people who stole away the only place who could go home to. Before they begin, Crow lays down one more rule; both players turn off auto-pilot for the Duel. Remembering Yusei's encounter with Ccapac Apu, Crow infers that the only way to counter the attacks from an Earthbound Immortal is to use your own riding techniques.

The Turbo Duel
"Speed World" is activated, setting-up the Turbo Duel. The Killer Whale geoglyph appears and etches out the circuit.

Yusei, Trudge and the twins see the geoglyph appear in the sky. Trudge notes that it shouldn't be there as there is no Dark Signer with a Killer Whale birthmark, sparking Yusei to worry that a new Dark Signer may have emerged. Since Luna and Yusei's birthmarks aren't reacting, they deduce that the Dark Signer's opponent isn't a Signer.

Greiger sets the rule to decide who goes first; whoever is first around the first corner. Crow chucks the timer onto the ground, explaining that it was only an alarm clock and suggests they start the race, once the timer hits 0.

The timer drops to 0 and the alarm goes off. Both Runners speed off and Crow makes plans on how to get past the corner first, when his Runner has less horsepower. Crow speeds-up, prompting Greiger to go even faster. Greiger gets to the corner first, but drifts to the outmost point, due to the size of his Duel Runner, allowing Crow to easily take the inside lane and move in front of Greiger.

Yusei, Trudge, Leo and Luna continue to make their way to the Killer Whale geoglyph. After Yusei ponders on who it could belong to, he turns the others and instructs that they stay behind as things are about to get dangerous up ahead. None of the three are pleased to leave him go alone. However Luna insists that they'll be fine, since her birthmark will protect them, if them from being sacrificed inside the geoglyph. Yusei allows them to come along, but says he'll run ahead to see who's dueling and they may follow him afterwards. Without any further notice, he ramps, launching his Duel Runner off the road and into the Turbo Duel circuit created by the geoglyph.

Meanwhile, Crow, who has just been knocked off course, angrily pushes some buttons in the handlebars of his Duel Runner in his desperation not to lose, firing a grapple hook, which attaches to the Turbo Duel circuit and activating its wings, allowing him to glide back safely.

Crow then Normal Summons "Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain" (500/800) in Attack Position. "Fane the Steel Chain" attacks directly via its own effect (Greiger 1800 → 1300). Crow then activates the second effect of "Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain" to switch "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" to Defense Position and forbid Greiger from switching his Earthbound Immortal's Battle Position until the end of his (Crow's) next turn. Crow sets a card.

Turn 10: Greiger

Greiger draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World" activates (Crow's SPC: 7 → 8; Greiger's SPC: 7 → 8). Greiger then activates the effect of "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" to inflict half its DEF as damage to Crow (Crow 900 → 100). Greiger then Normal Summons "Darksea Rescue" (0/0) in Attack Position.

Greiger then activates his face-down "Basara". Now by Tributing a monster once per turn, Greiger can destroy a monster Crow controls that has a higher Level than the monster Tributed and inflict 800 damage to the destroyed monster's controller. Greiger then activates the effect of "Basara" to Tribute "Darksea Rescue" and destroy "Fane the Steel Chain", but Crow activates his face-down "Explosion Guard" to negate the effect of "Basara" and inflict 500 damage to Greiger (Greiger 1300 → 800).

Turn 11: Crow

Crow draws "Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North". During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World" activates (Crow's SPC: 8 → 9; Greiger's SPC: 8 → 9). Crow sets a card. He then Normal Summons "Blackwing - Blizzard The Far North" (1300/0) in Attack Position. Crow then activates the effect of "Blizzard the Far North" to Special Summon "Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame" (1800/1200) from his Graveyard in Defense Position. He then tunes "Fane the Steel Chain" and "Shura the Blue Flame" with "Blizzard the Far North" in order to Synchro Summon "Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant" (2800/2000) in Attack Position.

Greiger states that due to the effect of "Chacu Challhua", Crow can't conduct his Battle Phase so long as "Chacu Challhua" is in Defense Position. Crow explains that he can however activate the effect of "Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant", which will destroy "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" as the latter's DEF is lower than the ATK of "Silverwind the Ascendant".

Before Crow can activate the effect of "Silverwind the Ascendant", he and Yusei Fudo see images of children trapped in the Earthbound Immortal. After Greiger sees those children, he states that those children are his brother and sister, plus the other children of his hometown. This makes him realize that the Dark Signers were really responsible for the destruction of his village and the loss of his people. Greiger tries to forfeit, but the Envoy of the Netherworld refuses to let this happen and possesses him. Because Crow took too long to activate the effect of "Silverwind the Ascendant", Greiger proceeds with his own turn.

Turn 12: Greiger

Greiger draws "Black Salvo". During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World" activates (Crow's SPC: 9 → 10; Greiger's SPC: 9 → 10). Greiger then switches "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" to Attack Position. Chacu Challhua" attacks directly via its own effect, but Crow activates his face-down "Parasite Mind" to activate the effect of Greiger's "Basara" as if he were its controller, Tributing "Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant" in order to destroy "Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua" (Greiger 800 → 0).

Crow wins.

Aftermath
The geoglyph disappears, and Crow is pleased with his victory. A giant boulder is about to crush Crow, but Greiger pushes Crow to get him out of harm’s way. Greiger is crushed by the giant boulder instead. Crow and Yusei try to rescue Greiger and Yusei begs Greiger not to die. Greiger asks the two if they're okay. Crow asks him why he saved him. Greiger replies that he saved the people of his village. Crow is touched by the former Dark Signer’s answer.

Greiger tells Crow to find the children he took care of and to raise them well. Crow promises he will do that. Greiger tells Yusei that he was right about everything, that nothing remains after revenge and begs him to defeat the Dark Signers. After that, he turns grey and crumbles into dust. The two young men are saddened by Greiger’s death and Yusei swears he will carry on Greiger’s promises.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, all of the people of Greiger’s village are returned home, including Greiger’s siblings. Annie says that they're saved, to the joy of the villagers. A shooting star appears in the sky. Max thinks the shooting star is almost like their big brother Greiger and that Greiger saved them. They wonder if Greiger is watching the shooting star too.

Back at Satellite, Crow and Yusei rejoin Trudge, Leo and Luna, and Yusei is about to go face Kalin. While Yusei goes to face Kalin Kessler, the same shooting star seen at Greiger’s village appears in the sky of the city.
