Double Tuning
Double Tuning (ダブルチューニング, Daburu Chūningu), also sometimes referred to as Over Tuning (オーバー・チューニング, Ōbā Chūningu), is a kind of Synchro Summon for which two Tuner monsters are used, rather than the usual one. It can be considered similar to Accel Synchro Summon, as they both are types of evolved Synchro Summon. It is not an official term in the card game, but has appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! media.
While a number of conditions can create situations where Synchro Monsters are Synchro Summoned using 2 Tuners, Double Tuning primarily refers to Synchro Summoning monsters that specifically require 2 Tuners as materials; Synchro Summoning monsters such as "XX-Saber Gottoms" with 2 Tuners is not referred to as Double Tuning, because it doesn't specify that it requires 2 Tuners as materials.
Its upgrade, using 3 Tuner monsters, is Triple Tuning.

AppearanceEdit
AnimeEdit
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sEdit
In the anime, this type of Synchro Summon was first seen in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 117: "The Distorted Past", when Jack Atlas Synchro Summoned "Red Nova Dragon".
In 5D's, this Summoning is visually represented with the chosen Tuner monsters transforming into two rings of fire in place of the usual green rings found in standard Synchro Summoning.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-VEdit
In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V episode 97: "Making it Mine", an alternative Jack Atlas used Double Tuning in his Duel against Yuya Sakaki to Synchro Summon "Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend" . The appearance of Double Tuning was identical to how it appeared in 5D's.
MangaEdit
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sEdit
In the manga, Double Tuning was only seen in the second special chapter of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. It was used by Jack Atlas during his Duel against Yusei Fudo to Synchro Summon "Red Dragon King Red Dragon Calamity". Unlike the anime, no significant changes in the Summoning depiction were illustrated in the panels.
Video gamesEdit
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel LinksEdit
In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, "Red Nova Dragon" has a unique Synchro Summon animation when played by Jack Atlas, featuring the Tuner monsters transforming into rings of fire similarly to the Double Tuning appearance in the anime. Additionally, the animation has a red background instead of the usual blue. While "Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend" is also present and Jack will announce its Synchro Summon as Double Tuning, it uses the normal Synchro Summon animation.
