Episode 53: A Whale of a Ride (3)
At the duel, Greiger reveals that his Darksea Rescue's effect lets him add reinforcements (what he really means is draw a card and he drew it during his Draw Phase. The real card doesn't work this way.) Furthermore, Dark Flattop lets Greiger Special Summon Flying Fortress SKYFIRE (3000) in Attack Mode once per turn. Next, he uses SKYFIRE's effect to discard 1 card and take out Crow's Blackwing Armor Master. His attack with SKYFIRE not only destroys Crow's Gale the Whirlwind, leaving Crow down to 900 LPs but spins Crow out but Crow isn't giving in and gets right back on his Duel Runner, which proves to be still functional. Greiger should've known Crow wouldn't give up and recalls what he did with his family before Goodwin destroyed the village before setting 1 card to end his turn. There's little Crow can do but set 1 card for his turn. Greiger is disappointed but uses SKYFIRE's effect to destroy Crow's face down Fake Feather. His attack prompts Crow to activate Blacking Backlash (though at 8:16 into the US episode it appears as Level Retuner) to destroy all of Greiger's monsters and leave Greiger defenseless. However, Grieiger had a tiny addition thanks to his monster's effect, letting him draw 1 card. (The real card only lets you do this when used for a Synchro Summon.) Next he activates Contaminated Earth, letting him summon an Earthbound Immortal monster since he has 2 Level 5 or higher monsters in his Graveyard and he chooses Earthbound Immortal Chacu Challhua (2900) in Attack Mode. Crow draws and plays Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain (500) in Attack Mode and attacks directly by its effect, leaving Greiger down to 1300 LPs and switching Challhua to Defense Mode by its effect. Finally, he sets 1 card to end his turn. Greiger draws and uses Challhua's effect to deal Crow damage equal to half its DEF, leaving Crow down to 100 LPs. (The real card has 2400 DEF, which would've meant Crow losing the Duel.) Next he summons Darksea Rescue (0000) in Attack Mode and uses his face down Basara to tribute Darksea Recue and destroy Fane the Steel Chain, which has a higher Level and deal Crow 800 damage. Crow is ready with Explosion Guard (Guard Mines in the CG) to prevent Steel Chain's destruction and deal Greiger 500 damage, leaving Greiger down to 800 LPs. Crow draws and sets 1 card before summoning Blackwing - Blizzard the Far North (1300) in Attack Mode and uses its effect to Special Summon Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame (1200) in Defense Mode. Then he uses his monsters as Synchro Material for Blackwing Silverwind the Ascendant (2800) in Attack Mode and is about to use its effect when he sees Greiger's family inside the Earthbound Immortal. It takes Yusei's words to convince Greiger to see for himself that this is the case and Greiger realizes that the Dark Signers are responsible for the village's destruction but Roman fights back by repossessing Greiger, causing a struggle inside Greiger's mind before Greiger is fully repossessed. Greiger draws and switches Challhua to attack mode before attacking with it but Crow activates Parasite Mind to gain control of Greiger's Basara and use its effect to Tribute his own Silverwind to destroy Challhua and hit Greiger with 800 damage. As a result, the Earthbound Immortal falls and Crow wins but finds himself seconds from being crushed before Greiger pushes him away to take the hit. Greiger did it to repay Crow for risking his life to save the villagers. The Dark Signers must be stopped and Signers must stick together as Greiger holds on as his body disintegrates. The villagers are freed and they see Greiger's shooting star above them and Yusei knows Kalin is next on the list and races off.
