[Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon, ATK 0]
This "Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon" looked like a ball of white silk. After being summoned, the silk split as if by a sharp blade, and a menacing black spider head emerged, as if the creature was stuck halfway inside the cocoon.
Dark Tuner, a special tuner used by Dark Signers—completely unprinted in the physical card game. All of this "negative level" Dark Synchro summoning was pure anime invention.
Still, the classic Tag Force game series did include these anime-original cards, along with the Meklord Emperor components and even the God cards with "non-existent" immunity. For duelists interested in experiencing the anime format, Tag Force games are a great option.
"Next, Normal Summon ’Dark Spider’!"
Rudger, the wielder of the Spider Mark, naturally used a spider deck. Dark Spider, a Level 1 monster, had a long green body with three pairs of six crimson eyes, all reflecting the state of the battlefield.

"Once per turn, ’Dark Spider’ lets me increase the Level of an Insect monster I control by 2 until the end of the turn."
He gestured to Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon.
"I increase the Level of Level 5 Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon by 2—to Level 7!"
[Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon: LV5 → LV7]
"Now, I tune Level 7 Dark Tuner ’Dark Tuner Spider Cocoon’ with Level 1 ’Dark Spider’—DARK SYNCHRO!"
[1 – 7 = –6]
"When darkness overlaps with darkness, the gates of the underworld open!"
Rudger raised his arms.
"Dark Synchro Summon! Emerge—Level minus six—
—Underground Arachnid!!!"
True to the "dark" theme, this monster was the stuff of nightmares—a massive rock-dwelling spider, barbed and menacing, supported by metallic legs like bronze pillars, plus a humanoid upper body resembling a demonic woman with predator’s eyes.
[Underground Arachnid, ATK 2400]
Just as Rudger completed his Dark Synchro, the rumble of Duel Runners arrived from nearby.
After defeating their assigned Dark Signers, Yusei, Jack, Akiza, Luna, and her brother Leo had all converged.
The battles had been happening nearby, and any time a Dark Signer duels, the Signers’ marks act like living radar, guiding them to the action. Not to mention, when Rudger began dueling, the burning Spider Mark appeared in the sky—impossible for any of the heroes to miss.
"Goodwin!?"
