The Dark Signers are a mysterious group of duelists, whose serve as antagonists to the Signers and primary antagonists for the second arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. A Dark Signer will reveal himself/herself when the bearer of the birthmark dies. If they die, they will then revive with their respective birthmark glowing on their arm for the first time. (Carly was revealed to be a Dark Signer as she dies after her duel with Divine, and Kiryu is revived after being sentenced to death by the Security Bureau, in which he blames Yusei for the event). They are capable of using a distinctive new type of monsters known as Dark Synchro Monsters. Their signature cards are the "Earthbound Gods", along with the use of Field Spell cards in order to maintain the effects of these powerful beasts in a duel.
History
The Earthbound Gods, who are evil entities that were sealed in the Nazca Lines by the Crimson Dragon and the Five Dragons, each bore a dark mark on to five individuals, the Dark Signers.
The Dark Signers possess an inborn drive to defeat the Signers, each have a marking of the Crimson Dragon, over the course of 5,000 years.
The Dark Signers serve as gatekeepers to the door that leads to the underworld. This door resides within the first Enerdy generator built, located in Satellite. The Dark Signers plotted to open this gate to release the Nazca Gods. Knowing this Rex Goodwin built the utopia New Domino City away from Satellite and restrict access, between the two cities, so only those left in the Satellite would be harmed when this time came.
After the Crimson Dragon appeared during the Fortune Cup, the Dark Signers began preaching in Satellite that the Crimson Dragon is evil and encouraging the people to stand with them for the sake of Satellite.
Using brainwashed victims, they began targeting the Signers, including Yusei Fudo, who was made duel Dick Pitt and Jack Atlas, who with Carly Nagisa's assistance, dueled Trudge. In both cases the Signer emerged victorious. However, when true Dark Signers have dueled, they have defeated their opposition in all cases thus far (in Carly's case), or at least would have won had the duels not been interrupted (in the cases of Kiryu and Misty).
There seems to be some kind of relation in the known history of the individual Dark Signers: Kiryu became a Dark Signer after he has arrested and allegedly killed by the security; Carly also became a Dark Signer when she died after her first duel with Divine. The rest of the Dark Signer's history is untold. Though in Misty's flashblack she is shown having been rushed to the hospital in severe or even fatal condition when her Earthbound God appeared before her.
Powers
Brainwashing
The organization has the ability to brainwash other duelists, by having a black spider latch onto a victim. The victim believes them self to be a Dark Signer, gains the spider dark mark and does the bidding of the real Dark Signers. While brainwashed, the victim's Deck is changed to one more fitting to a Dark Signer.
The spell is lifted when the victim loses a Duel. At this point the spider is ejected from their body and erupts in a powder. The victim's Deck is then restored to normal and they have no memory of what happened while they were brainwashed.
Shadow Duels
- Main article: Shadow Duel.
When a Dark Signer engages in a Duel, the arena is surrounded by a forcefield of light, taking the shape of the Dark Signers Nazca Lines and becomes a Shadow Duel. When a brainwashed Dark Signer servant engages in a Duel, the arena is instead surrounded by a purple glow.
During a Shadow Duel, players suffer real damage when attacked by monsters. The blasts from the attacks are fatal and often cause damage to the surroundings. Also, according to Divine during his duel with Carly Nagisa in episode 39, the effects from a Shadow Duel are more powerful and deadlier than that of Psychic Dueling.
Dark Synchro Summoning
The Dark Synchro and Dark Tuner monsters are exclusive to the Dark Signers. Dark Synchro Monsters are Synchro Summoned by sending to the Graveyard 1 Dark Tuner monster and 1 non-Dark Tuner Monster. The non-Dark Tuner Monster's Level minus the Dark Tuner Monster's Level must be equal to the Dark Synchro Monster's Level, which is negative. Currently Negative Levels do not exist in the real life card game.
