Jeepers, we've got summoning methods out the wazoo.
Prior to ''ARC-V'', another depiction of Fusion Summon, notably used for "[[Dark Paladin]]" and "[[Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste]]", shows the Fusion Materials being engulfed in a sphere of energy, which then disperses to reveal the Fusion Monster. Other times, the Fusion Monster emerges from a fierce whirlwind.
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', Fusion Summoning is more visually elaborate. The Fusion Materials transform into streams of colored particles similar in shape to the energy forms seen in ''ARC-V'', swirling together and then bursting into multiple vortexes of the same color as the Fusion Materials, which twist around one another and combine into one, from which the Fusion Monster appears.
In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]], under [[Battle City Rules]], which applied during the [[Battle City]] tournament, [[Fusion Monster]]s cannot [[attack]] the same [[turn]] they are Summoned. This is exemplified in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 065|episode 65]], when [[Strings]] uses "[[Quick Attack]]" on "[[Humanoid Worm Drake]]" to bypass that rule in his [[Duel]] against [[Yami Yugi]]. This rule does not exist in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]''/''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]]'' and was removed for all subsequent series.
