Double Tuning

Double Tuning
Double Tuning in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.
Japanese	ダブルチューニング (オーバー・チューニング)
Japanese (romanized)	Daburu Chūningu (Ōbā Chūningu)
Japanese (translated)	Double Tuning (Over Tuning)
English	Double Tuning (Over 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.

Example

• 

  A Level 8 non-Tuner monster + ("Red Dragon Archfiend")

• 

  A Level 3 Tuner monster + ("Dark Resonator")

• 

  A Level 1 Tuner monster = ("Chain Resonator")

• 

  A Level 12 Double Tuning Synchro Monster ("Red Nova Dragon")

Appearance

Anime

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

In the anime, this type of Synchro Summon was first seen in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 117117: "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-V

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V episode 09797: "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.

Manga

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

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.
