Summon chant

In the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime characters recite a chant while Summoning a powerful monster.

Such chants have been used mainly for Synchro Summons and Dark Synchro Summon, but have also been used when Earthbound Gods (Earthbound Immortals) have been Summoned.

While most chants are unique (or almost unique) to that monster, the only difference between Roman Goodwin and those he controlled, Grady and Ushio, is the name of the Dark Synchro Monster itself.

Currently, 7 Synchro Monsters have been Summoned without chants; "Dark Strike Fighter", "Turbo Cannon", "Iron Chain Dragon", "Goyo Guardian", "Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000", "Tech Genus Wonder Magician" and "Hell Twin Cop - Jaw & Kick".

In the English dub, the chants of the main protagonists when Synchro Summoning were removed in favour of catchphrases like "Let's rev it up!". On the other hand, the Dark Signers and Shadow Drones still keep their Summoning chant for Dark Synchro Monsters. However, they all seem to use the exact same chant: "When shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals a world without light! Come forth, (Dark Synchro Monster)!"

Each character's speeches have a common theme relating to their personality: Yusei's chants usually include the word "clustering" and have the phrase "Become the path its light shines upon" (Hikari satsu mitsunare), Jack's include the word "ruler" due to his status as the former king, Crow's relate to darkness and winds, Akiza refers to flowers and Sayer's relate to anger
