#cuz I didn't understand synchro summon AT ALL until the 4+3=7 visual

As much as I have grown to love 5Ds (or at least the first two and final arcs) it still never ceases to baffle me how this is the show that introduced Synchro summon and it just... never explains it. Ever. They don’t take the time to say “oh yeah, a synchro summon is when you combine a tuner monster and a non tuner monster to summon a monster that’s a combination of their levels” until the Dark Signers start using negative level monsters, which is a whole thing on its own. We didn’t even have a visual on the math until EPISODE 65, THE THIRD STORY ARC OF THE SHOW.
