[[File:FusionSummon-AV.png|thumb|A '''Fusion Summonin ''Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V' (融合召喚 ''Yuugou Shoukan'') is the act of [[Special Summon]]ing a [[Fusion Monster]] from your [[Extra Deck]] using "[[Polymerization]]" or any other [[card effect]]s which explicitly states that the Summon is a Fusion Summon.
=== Interactions with effects ===* Some cards have effects that allow the player to use monsters from locations other than the ones specified in the Fusion Summoning effect as materials when Fusion Summoning (e.g. "[[Cybernetic Fusion Support]]", "[[Chain Material]]").* [[Fusion Substitute Monster]]s can be used in Fusion Summoning effects in place of a material with specified conditions that the Fusion Substitute Monsters==inherently do not fulfill. Usually, they can substitute for a material with a specifically listed name, but "[[Shaddoll Core]]" can substitute for materials of certain [[Attribute]]s instead.: ''See main article ** Some Fusion Monsters have a condition that they [[Must be Fusion Summoned with listed Fusion Materials|must be Fusion Summoned with their listed Fusion Materials]], which prevents Fusion Substitute Monstersfrom substituting any of the Fusion Materials. However, this restriction only applies to Fusion Material substitution effects—it does not prevent using monsters whose names have been [[Changes card names|changed]] to or [[Treated as alternate name|treated]]as a different card name from being used as a material according to that name.''
==In the anime= Treating a Special Summon as a Fusion Summon ===In the second season of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime){{main|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' second series anime]]Treats Special Summon as Fusion Summon}}Some card effects can Special Summon a Fusion Monster, it is stated treating that [[Special Summon as a Fusion Monster]]s cannot [[attack]] the same [[turn]] they are SummonedSummon. This type of Special Summon is exemplified in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 065|episode 65]]not a Fusion Summon despite being treated as one, when [[Strings]] uses "[[Quick Attack]]" on "[[Humanoid Worm Drake]]" to bypass that rule in his [[Duel]] against [[Yami Yugi]]. This rule so it does not exist in the [[OCG]]/[[TCG]] and was phased out the anime for ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''necessarily follow any mechanics of a Fusion Summon.
== Example =={{Show card image gallery| Polymerization | "[[Polymerization]]"| Dark Magician | + A [[Fusion Material]]<br />("[[Dark Magician]]")| Buster Blader | + A [[Fusion Material]]<br />("[[Buster Blader]]")| Dark Paladin | {{=}} A [[Fusion Monster]]<br />("[[Dark Paladin]]")}} == ''Rush Duel'' ==In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]'', the main card for Fusion Summoning is "[[Fusion (Rush Duel)|Fusion]]". "Fusion" can only use face-up monsters from the controller's field as Fusion Materials. "[[Polymerization (Rush Duel)|Polymerization]]" and "[[Power Bond (Rush Duel)|Power Bond]]" are also available as [[Legend Card]]s, and other Spells, Traps and monster effects that can perform Fusion Summons have subsequently been added. == Appearance ===== ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', ''GX'', ''5D's'', and ''ZEXAL'' ===Visual depictions of Fusion Summons have varied significantly among the first four anime series. Typically, the Fusion Materials, or their cards, are shown being warped into particles or forms of energy in a spiral direction, which then merge with each other within a spiraling portal, from which the Fusion Monster emerges. One depiction, notably used for "[[Dark Paladin]]" and "[[Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste]]", shows the Fusion Materials being engulfed in a sphere of energy, which then disperses to reveal the Fusion Monster. Other times, the Fusion Monster emerges from a fierce whirlwind. In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], under [[Battle City Rules]], which applied during the [[Battle City]] tournament, [[Fusion Monster]]s could not [[attack]] the same [[turn]] they were Fusion Summoned. This is exemplified in {{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|65}}, when [[Strings]] uses "[[Quick Attack (anime)|Quick Attack]]" on "[[Humanoid Worm Drake (anime)|Humanoid Worm Drake]]" to bypass that rule in his [[Duel]] against [[Yami Yugi]]. It also applied during the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]'' manga and the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc. This rule does not exist in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]''/''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]]'' and was removed from the anime starting with the ''[[Waking the Dragons]]'' arc and for all subsequent series. === ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'' ===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', a standardized animation is adopted for all Fusion Summons: a blue and orange rotating background based on the artwork of "Polymerization", and the Fusion Materials transforming into featureless shapes of different colors (usually contrasting ones like blue and red, yellow and violet, etc.) that swirl together to form a spinning spiral, which then sometimes turns into a bright white light. It is then followed by a close-up shot of the player, usually clasping or clapping their hands together, as if mirroring the materials becoming one. In ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'', a Fusion Summon performed using Fusion Materials that have been previously [[Pendulum Summon]]ed is referred to as a "Pendulum-Fusion". === ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'' ===[[File:CynetFusion-JP-Anime-VR-NC.png|thumb|right|A Fusion Summon in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'']]In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', Fusion Summoning is changed to a different CGI effect, where the Fusion Materials transform into streams of colored particles that swirl together and then burst upwards into vortexes of colors matching the streams, which twist around each another and quickly merge into a large purple one, from where the Fusion Monster appears. === ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'' and ''GO RUSH!!'' ===In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', the background is distorted with pink and blue ripples, visually somewhat similar to its appearance in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V''. The Duelist raises their [[Duel Disk]] into the air, creating a "7" shape with their arm, and "[[Fusion (Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" creates a "Road" from the Duelist's Duel Disk, then it shows the listed materials fuse by overlaying one over another, creating a large colored beam, the Fusion Monster is generated afterwards. === ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links'' ===When most characters perform a Fusion Summon, an animation similar to the animation in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V'' anime is played. When a ''VRAINS'' character, or a [[Standard Duelist]] in Duel World (VRAINS), performs a Fusion Summon, an animation based on the ''VRAINS'' anime animation is played. === ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel'' ===The Fusion Summon animation in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel]]'' is based on that from the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, with the materials being surrounded in a purple aura before they are warped into the "Polymerization" portal in a spiral; the Fusion Monster emerges from the spiral when the Summon is complete. The only exception is when "[[Super Polymerization (Master Duel)|Super Polymerization]]" is used to perform the Fusion Summon, to which the yellow flash portal of "Super Polymerization" appears before the monsters were warped into the "Polymerization" portal. == In other languages ===== As a noun ==={{In other languages| fr_name = Invocation Fusion| de_name = Fusionsbeschwörung| it_name = Evocazione tramite Fusione| pt_name = Invocação-Fusão| es_name = Invocación por Fusión| ja_name = {{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}}| ja_romaji = Yūgō Shōkan| ko_name = 융합 소환| ko_rr = Yunghap Sohwan| tc_name = 融合召喚| tc_pinyin = Rónghé Zhàohuàn| sc_name = 融合召唤| sc_pinyin = Rónghé Zhàohuàn}} === As a verb ==={{In other languages| fr_name = Invoquer par Fusion| de_name = beschwören als Fusionsbeschwörung| it_name = Evocare tramite Fusione| pt_name = Invocar por Invocação-Fusão| es_name = Invocar por Fusión}} === In ''Rush Duel'' ==={{In other languages| ja_name = フュージョン{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}}| ja_romaji = Fyūjon Shōkan| ko_name = 퓨전 소환| ko_rr = Pyujeon Sohwan}} ==See also==
