Negative Level
Negative Levels are a concept appearing only in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime and the Tag Force series of video games. They appear exclusively on Dark Synchro Monsters.
They are represented by the symbol , which is the color inverse of the usual positive Level symbol. On a card, the Negative Level Stars align to the left, whereas positive Level Stars align to the right.
The only way for a non-Dark Synchro monster to obtain a Negative Level is through the card "Dark Wave".
When Dark Synchro Monsters were released in the OCG/TCG, they were all changed to Synchro Monsters with their levels changed to the usual positive.

Trivia
- Contrary to what might be expected, the Tag Force video games seem to treat negative Levels identically to positive Levels in some ways. For example, it is possible to use a Level 5 monster(s) and a Level -5 monster(s) as Xyz Materials to Summon a Rank 5 Xyz Monster.[1]
