A '''Dark Synchro Summon''' is a method of Summoning a [[Dark Synchro Monster]]. Both the Summon method and the monster category exist only in the anime and in the later members of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!_Tag_Force|Tag Force]]'' series of video games. Its mechanics are somewhat the antithesis of a [[Synchro Summon]], as instead of requiring a [[Tuner monster]] whose [[Level]] is added to the Level(s) of a non-Tuner monster(s) to equal the [[Synchro Monster]]'s Level, it requires a [[Dark Tuner monster]] whose Level is ''subtracted'' from the Level of a non-Tuner monster to equal the [[Dark Synchro Monster]]'s [[Negative Level]]. Therefore, in order to Summon a strong Dark Synchro Monster with a high Negative Level, the Dark Tuner must generally have a very high (positive) Level and the non-Tuner a very low Level, barring the activation of cards such as "[[Dark Wave]]".

In the anime, Dark Synchro Monsters have only been used by the [[Dark Signers]] and their possessed servants. When a character performs a Dark Synchro Summon, the Dark Tuner first transforms into its Level stars, which pierce the non-Tuner monster making it appear in pain. The non-Tuner monster then transforms into its own Level stars, which 'cancel out' some of the Dark Tuner's stars, disintegrating the non-Tuner monster in the process. The remaining Dark Tuner's stars then turn black and spin in a circle, before merging into a column of darkness that reveals the newly Summoned Dark Synchro Monster. Each character recites a [[Summon chant]] while performing the Summon; while this generally varies between characters in the original Japanese anime, all Dark Synchro Summon chants have been the same in the dubbed anime: "''When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals a world without light!''".

Dark Synchro Summon

A Dark Synchro Summon is a method of Summoning a Dark Synchro Monster found in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, manga, and the Tag Force series of video games. Mechanically, Dark Synchro Summon resembles an inverted Synchro Summon: instead of adding the Level of a Tuner monster to the Level of a non-Tuner monster to reach the Synchro Monster's Level, Dark Synchro Summoning involves subtracting the Level of a Dark Tuner monster from the Level of a non-Tuner monster to reach the Dark Synchro Monster's Negative Level.

Example

Appearance

Anime

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, Dark Synchro Monsters were used by the Dark Signers and their possessed servants. When a character performs a Dark Synchro Summon, the Dark Tuner first transforms into its Level stars, which pierce the non-Tuner monster making it appear in pain. The non-Tuner monster then transforms into its own Level stars, which 'cancel out' some of the Dark Tuner's stars, disintegrating the non-Tuner monster in the process. The remaining Dark Tuner's stars then turn black and spin in a circle, before merging into a column of darkness that reveals the newly Summoned Dark Synchro Monster.

Each character recites a Summon chant while performing the Summon; while this generally varies between characters in the original Japanese anime, all Dark Synchro Summon chants have been the same in the dubbed anime: "When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals a world without light!".

Video games

In the Tag Force games, the first part of the Summon animation is skipped, and the dark stars appear from nowhere before spinning in a circle and merging as before.

While the Dark Synchro mechanic does not appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, the Dark Synchro Summon animation is used instead of the regular Synchro Summon animation for certain Synchro Monsters when played by certain Legendary Duelists:

Trivia

  • The "Ursarctic" Synchro Monsters are Special Summoned using a procedure very similar to Dark Synchro Summoning; they cannot be Synchro Summoned, but their Summoning conditions require the player to send a Level 8 or higher Tuner monster and one monster with a Level whose difference in Levels equals the Level of the Synchro Monster being Summoned.
