Versions

Transporter

Vector traveling through the "Overlay Network".

The Barian race is able to use the Overlay Unit to instantly teleport themselves to another place. The crests on the Vetrix Family body is able to create an Overlay Network, which then materializes its owner or another crest owner from one place and manifests them to another location.[1] Later in the series, the Different Dimension Airship uses the Overlay Network to travel to places such as from the inside of the Emperor's Key.[2]

It can be used for communication, as the sound also travels through them. This way, the portal stays opened until a message is transmitted or conversation is finished.

Xyz Summon

Dueling Overlay Network.

According to Konami, Xyz Monsters have traveled to Yuma's dimension using an "Overlay Network" from the other side of a black hole.[3] As Duelists Xyz Summon, a portal appears in which the Overlay Units (in energy form) enter. The portal explodes, and the Xyz Monster unveils itself. All Xyz Monsters, with special exceptions like the "Numbers", are Xyz Summoned through a red, spiraling portal. The Overlay Units then become orbs of light which orbit the Xyz Monster. When detached by the player, the orbs are absorbed by the Xyz Monster in its own specific way. [4] When most "Number" monster is Xyz Summoned, a space-themed portal appears into which the Overlay Units are drawn into as energy streaks. The portal explodes, and the sealed form of the Summoned "Number" appears, before transforming itself into its true form.

The "Number" Overlay Network was also used for "Galaxy Stealth Dragon"[5] and was later used for "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.[6]
