Synchronize is the term used to refer to the state of mind that Yuya and his dimensional counterparts occasionally enter.
Effects
This ability causes the counterparts to sync with each other, causing all parties involved to adopt some mannerisms of each other, including speaking and moving in the same manner. Gradually, the users lose the ability to distinguish their identities from each other and begin to act as the same person. When they regain their senses, the people involved generally do not know that they have synchronized.[1] However, they retain their memories of the Duel, as Yuya remembers what happened in the Duel between Yugo and Celina, which he could not have in any other way due to his solitary confinement at the time.[2]
The phenomenon seems to be triggered by "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon". In the case of Yugo and Yuya's sync, Yuya's consciousness is transferred into Yugo for the duration of the duel.[3] In the second instance of Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri synchronizing, "Clear Wing" wasn't summoned but started to glow. This then caused all four to synchronize, revealing all four can sync at the same time.[4] In the third instance when all the Four Dimension Dragons were on the field at the same time, the process is accelerated.[5]
History
Friendship Cup
The first instance of Synchronization happened between Yuya and Yugo during the Friendship Cup, and was triggered when Yuya picked up his "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" card after "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" was Summoned. Both Yuya and Yugo exhibited certain traits of the other user during the phenomenon. Zuzu Boyle was able to notice this change in behavior on Yugo's end in the Duel.[1]
Friendship Cup Finals
Later, Yugo's Summoning of "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" in his Duel with Celina once again caused Yuya to sync with him, transferring his awareness into Yugo's body.[3] The sync was broken with the conclusion of the Duel, with Yuya remembering the Duel and as a result becoming aware of the ability.[2]
When the chip Roger planted inside Yuya's helmet activated during Yuya's duel with Crow Hogan, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri synchronized with Yuya's and the four of them entered Berserk Mode in sync. "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" wasn't summoned this time, but it started to glow after Yugo and Yuri felt pain in their chests.[4] While in sync with Yuya, Yugo and Yuri gained dark auras around themselves. When Yuya won the Duel, the sync broke, with him and his counterparts passing out with the chip destroyed in the process.[6]
When Yuri, the Obelisk Force, and Yugo arrived at Yuya's location during his Duel with Barrett, Yugo and Yuri summoned "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon" and "Starve Venom Fusion Dragon" respectively. With Yuya controlling "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" in his Duel, all of the Four Dimension Dragons were in play at the same time, causing Yuya and his counterparts to enter Berserk Mode and synchronize again.[5]
