Synchro Chip

Synchro Chips (シンクロチップ, Shinkuro Chippu?) are unique Battle Chips which has the power to merge a Navi and a human together under certain circumstances, usually needing a Dimensional Area to do so. PET's and Dimensional Areas have a big role in the usage of the Synchro Chip.

Types of Synchro Chips
Under Construction


 * Regular Synchro Chips: Invented by Yuichiro Hikari, the doctor created it to see if Navis and Humans can become one, which was known as Cross Fusion, but it was limited in the Dimensional Area only. Also, at first, it was noted to be dangerous, as shown by Misaki failing to fuse with PrisMan.EXE and being electrocuted. However, a Navi and a human with a high synchro rating can perform it and become one, and the Navi-human hybrid will gain additional powers as well. However, when the Navi and the human is not in sync, such as arguing with each other, the synchro will be broken. Also, people with the Crest of Duo can Cross Fuse.
 * Dark Synchro Chips: Invented by Dr. Regal, the doctor created it by taking away the Synchro Chips that ShadeMan.EXE stole from SciLab, and combined it with Dark Chips. The Dark Synchro Chip increases the synchro rating. However, because it was crafted from a Dark Chip, the same negative effect of a Dark Chip (becoming evil and more powerful) will corrupt the human and the NetNavi, as shown by Misaki with PrisMan.EXE. However, Ms.Yuri and Regal was unaffected, either because they were a probe of Duo, or that their Navis were already evil.
 * Rush Synchro Chip: Invented by ShadeMan.EXE (and later replicated by Mr. Famous), ShadeMan created this by forcibly combining Rush with a Synchro Chip, which caused Rush to be traumatized about the event. Mr. Famous managed to recreate the Rush Sunchro Chip, and is now used by Mayl Sakurai, although Rush dislikes to be used (but still allows it to become the battle chip, although reluctantly). The Rush Synchro Chip, when used solely by a NetNavi, is shown to be able to materialize into the real world without the need of a Dimensional Area. When used by a human and a NetNavi to CrossFuse, however, it instead increases the synchro rating. Also, the user gains the Rush Hole ability, being able to send enemies and viruses back to CyberSpace.
 * Reverse Synchro Chip: Invented by Dr.Wily, instead of Cross Fusing with NetNavis in the human world, it instead sends the CrossFused hybrid to CyberSpace instead. Otherwise, it's no different than a regular Synchro Chips, although it was incomplete. Since the chips were incomplete, it could actually delete/erase the NetNavi/human.

Weaknesses
All synchro chips share a common weakness. If the crest (the insignia of the navi) is damaged in any way, Cross fusion is instantly disabled. This is shown in the simultaneous damage of both Crossfused Rockman's and Crossfused Prisman's crests, the destruction of Ms. Yuri's crest by Dark Blues, the damage inflicted by an Amerope mecha on Crossfused Rockman during the events of The Program of Light and Dark, and an fight with Cosmoman during the events of Stream. Netto was using a regular synchro chip while both Misaki and Ms. Yuri were using Dark Synchro chips.
