(Well, every single Xyz in AV used this one, so I guess there's no real point in all the references. I actually thought it was going to be a plot point which was why I was so intent on documenting it.)

An Overlay Network (オーバーレイ・ネットワーク Ōbārei Nettowāku) is a portal used to travel through dimensions anywhere in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime and manga series.

Versions

Transporter

Vector traveling through the "Overlay Network".

The Barian race is able to use an Overlay Network to instantly teleport themselves to another place.[1] The crests utilized by the Vetrix Family are able to do the same.[2] Later in the series, the Different Dimension Airship uses an Overlay Network to travel as well.[3]

An Overlay Network can be used for communication, as sound can travel through them. When used this way, the portal stays open until the message or conversation is finished transmitting.[4]

Xyz Summon

An Overlay Network during a Duel.

According to Konami, Xyz Monsters have traveled to Yuma's dimension from the other side of a black hole.[5] When a Duelist performs an Xyz Summon, the Xyz Material monsters transform into streaks of energy, and an Overlay Network appears in the form of a portal that the energy streaks enter. The portal then explodes, and the newly Summoned Xyz Monster unveils itself.[6] In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, instead of exploding, a column of blue lightning emerges from the center of the portal. Most Xyz Monsters are Xyz Summoned through a red, spiral-shaped portal, though "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" utilizes a pink one[2] and "Shark Fortress" a blue.[7] After being Summoned, the Xyz Materials then become Overlay Units that orbit the Xyz Monster as orbs of light.[6]

The "Number" monsters all use a yellow, galaxy-like portal.[8][9] In addition, the sealed form of the Summoned "Number" appears out of the portal first, before transforming itself into its true form (some "Number" monsters such as "Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo"[10] and "Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech"[11] do not have sealed forms and simply emerge complete from the Overlay Network; others such as "Number 9: Dyson Sphere" are too large to ever fit in an Overlay Network and instead materialize in space[12]).

When a Duelist performs an Xyz Evolution (whether through a "Rank-Up-Magic" card or otherwise), the Xyz Monster re-enters the Overlay Network before emerging from it in its upgraded form (usually but not always a "Chaos Xyz" or "Chaos Number" monster).[13][1][14][15] Once the monster re-enters the Network, the Network explodes, often taking the form of a large green orb before the monster reforms.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Tag Force 6, all Xyz Monsters are depicted as using the standard red spiral portal.

"Galaxy Stealth Dragon"[16] and all Xyz Monsters featured in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V use the "Number" Overlay Network.[17]
