====Human forms====[[File:FullZarc.png|thumb|left|150px|Full body view of Z-ARC.]][[File:Zarc-0.png|thumb|250px|Close-up of Z-ARC.]]Zarc Z-ARC shares mixed traits of his four dimensional soul fragments. Zarc Z-ARC has silver hair with light green highlights, having striking similarities in hair design to the dual-hair color of all of his dimensional soul fragments and [[Yuri]]'s side-parted hair, and yellow eyes. His face bares bears a striking resemblance to [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] and his counterparts, albeit a bit older looking. He wears a blue and white jacket with orange borders, like [[Yugo]]'s Duel Turbo Suit, and a black undershirt. He is shown to wear thick red-brownish gloves, black pants with a brown chaps, faded gold knee pads, dark-blue suspenders with faded gold buckles hanging from a red-brownish belt with two large holsters, like [[Yuto]]'s belt, a large faded gold buckle, and brown shoes with dark-blue outlines and straps. [[File:SupremeKingDragonZarc-HumanoidForm.png|thumb|left|200px|Full body view of Z-ARC-Yuya.]]Z-ARC's revived body takes the form of Yuya - the final survivor of the battle between his reincarnations. He retains Yuya's hair and signature goggles, but the red portion of his hair also becomes slightly darker. His overall appearance is a mixture between draconic, human, and demon. His body turns gray and become bulkier with spikes protruding from his shoulders, arms, and ankles; and his pupils become slits and the yellow irises glow faintly. His face is covered in veins and his ears are replaced by wing-like appendages. In this form, he no longer wears shoes as his feet have expanded and his ankles have become spiked, his pants are tattered at the cuffs, and his shirt is almost entirely gone; the only part that remains is held on by his belt; the rest has been torn off due to his enlarged muscle mass and the large pair of black demonic wings that now sprout from his back.<ref name="ep136">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Supreme King Z-ARC is dark grey in color with dark tan sections on its wing blades and hips, and lime green lines running down its body. Until its Summoning during Z-ARC's Duel with [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|Aster Phoenix]] and [[Sora Perse]], the Supreme King Dragon was obscured by a predominantly black and dark violet form with green lines. Supreme King Z-ARC's torso is similar to a mixture of "[[Odd-Eyes Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Dragon]]" and "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]", with a thick tail that is three to four times the length of the dragon's body and lined with barbs. It lacks legs like "Clear Wing" and instead sports tan sections that resemble the horns of "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" with similar "shield" like sections to those that "Clear Wing" has in place of hind limbs, though they both point down as opposed to two of "Clear Wing's" pointing up and two pointing down. The arms resemble those of "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", but with larger scythe-shaped wrist blades and are comparatively smaller than the rest of the body. The head is an amalgamation of the four dragons that compose it, shaped in a similar manner to Z-ARC's hairstyle, with a large crest protruding from the skull that is largely green, and two sets of horns; one set resembling tusks that evokes those of "Dark Rebellion", and a larger set that resemble those of "Odd-Eyes", but are oriented in a similar manner to those of "Starving Venom". The snout of Supreme King Z-ARC is far simpler than any of the composite monsters, resembling the beak-like snout of "Odd-Eyes" the most in form. The wings of Supreme King Z-ARC are also an amalgamation of its composite dragons; the blades resemble those of "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion", with a similar color to "Clear Wing" on the back edges and in a similar orientation, while the wings are topped with sections resembling the back mouths of "Starving Venom", and extend into tan barbed horns resembling those of "Starving Venom". Atop these sections are the main wings, which have a more basic design over overlapping fang-like membranes, but are two or three times the size of the rest of the dragon.

While ZarcZ-ARC's initial personality is largely unknown, it is shown that parts of his personality are similar to those of his reincarnations. He has a passion for entertaining Duels similar to lot like [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]]'s love for , a benevolent and passionate [[Action DuelDueltainer]]swith a love for entertaining Duels who desired to make others smile, human and monster alike. However, albeit different in that the spectators' selfish constant demands for more brutal and exciting Duels pushed Z-ARC over the edge as he shows little tried to no care meet their expectations. In time, he became apathetic for his opponents' well-being, willing to physically ruthlessly injure them ruthlessly like a gladiator, rather than make an amicable connection to with both them and the audience. Like YuriHe showed extreme aggression and rage like [[Yuto]], he is shown a desire to be extremely ruthless and violent towards his opponentson top like [[Yugo]], sparing no one and shown taking pleasure in harming his opponents a sadistic streak like [[Yuri]]. Despite Z-ARC's madness and Dueling spectators in order to satisfy his hunger lust for power. Like Yutoviolence, he displays extreme aggression still demonstrates a twisted view of entertainment that [[Gong Strong]] and great anger. Like Yugo, he also desires [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] are able to stand at the top of the Dueling worldstir within him.

ZarcZ-ARC's most defining trait following this transition is his lust for power, having been fueled by the crowd's desire for more brutal Duels in the ARC System. His intense desire to become stronger was so great, he had been driven to insanity, while also fueled by the anger of strongest which drove him insane alongside his four dragons' grudge against the humans. In his own twisted view, Zarc thinks that his rampage was his way of responding to Z-ARC sees people's expectations for him to keep winning as the overall motivation of absorbing his dragons, attempts to destroy everyone, and that his later revival was . In the result of peopledub, Z-ARC's desire for power is subtly altered to a desire for a challenging battle and to fight against strong opponents. When no-one answered Z-ARC's desires call for a challenge at the height of his fame, Z-ARC went mad and decided to "challenge the whole world" with his destructive power as the Supreme King. However, Yusho Sakaki still believed that Z-ARC desired power, as he only began to revive after the creation of [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. Z-ARC also expresses a desire for revenge against the people who drove him - and by proxy, the Four Dimensional Dragons - to keep winningDuel more violently.

After reviving, he Z-ARC shows excessive pride and boastfulness, believing that he is the ultimate existence that should govern over everything. During his Duel with [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|Aster Phoenix]] and [[Sora Perse]], he calmly informs them that Yuya is gone and is unfazed by their continued attempts to reach Yuya.<ref name="ep136" /> As noted by [[Sylvio Sawatari]] and [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow Hogan]], Z-ARC hates to lose and is even afraid of losing. When Crow pointed this out, Z-ARC was irritated, asserting that he never loses. Additionally, when Sylvio mocked Z-ARC for playing so defensively and remarked that Yuya would have been more bold, Z-ARC was visibly shaken.<ref name="ep139" />

As noted by Yuya began to understand who Z-ARC truly was during his Duel with [[Sylvio SawatariDeclan Akaba]] and , he sensed a profound sadness from Z-ARC's soul within [[Crow Hogan (ARC-V)|Crow HoganRiley Akaba]], Zarc hates to lose and is even afraid of losing.

[[File:Awaken_Zarc.png|thumb|Zarc left|250px|Z-ARC [[Awakened]].]]Zarc Z-ARC has the unique ability to hear the [[Duel Monster Spirits|voices]] of [[Duel Monsters]] and entered an [[Awakenedawakened]] state when he fused united with his dragons.<ref name="ep126" /> Following After his splitsoul was divided, he has the ability Z-ARC's influence allowed him to possess his reincarnations by forcing them into an Awakened awakened state to compel them to merge with each other one another and facilitate his rebirth.<ref name="ep37">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|37|ref}}</ref>{{-}} ===Etymology===Z-ARC's name draws inspiration from the names of many past ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' antagonists. His name is spelled in a similar manner to [[Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]], and the rendition of it found in Leo Akaba's files and used for the name of his dragon form, "Z-ARC", is similar to that of [[Z-one]]. His moniker of "Supreme King" is a reference to [[the Supreme King]], the dark side and progenitor of [[Jaden Yuki]]. Z-ARC's Japanese name contains an unusual spelling, where instead of the normal character of the ''za'' sound 「ザ」, two different ones, 「ズ」 and 「ア」 (respectively ''zu'' and ''a''), are crossed together and used in its place. ===Voice/Mannerisms===Z-ARC's voice is the same as Yuya's, but less kind and more dramatic. In Japanese, Z-ARC refers to himself as 「{{Ruby|俺|おれ}}」 (''Ore''). While keeping his manner as the [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King]], he uses 「{{Ruby|我|われ}}」 (''Ware''). In the dub, Z-ARC's voice while he was still human is similar to Yuya's when he becomes enraged. His voice becomes increasingly psychotic and cackling after he transforms into "Supreme King Z-ARC" and when he begins to take control of his fragments. When united into "Supreme King Z-ARC", Z-ARC views himself and the monster as a singular entity, thus referring to it in the first person. He refers to the "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" monsters as "[his] kin", given that they are members of the same archetype as his [[Duel Monsters|Duel Monster]] form, "[[Supreme King]]", and also corrupted versions of the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] who merged into that form.

Zarc Z-ARC was a resident of the [[Original Dimension]]. He was a Duelist who claimed to be able to hear the voices of Duel Monsters and connect his heart with them. Due to this, he was very skilled in Dueling and quickly gained the advantage on the field, soon becoming an undefeated Duel champion and widely known as a superstar in the newly conceived [[ARC System]]. He started to change after he Z-ARC once accidentally severely injured one of his opponents yet , and was horrified by his actions. Despite this, the audience kept cheering for him, leading Zarc and Z-ARC began to change, giving in to believe such aggressive Dueling was fine if the audience desired it's greater selfish demand for more violent and exciting Duels. Since then, ZarcZ-ARC's Dueling became more violent. At ; at first, he simply wanted to answer his fans' expectations, however as he continued to Duel more and more ruthlessly, Zarc Z-ARC himself became obsessed with becoming the strongest.<ref name="ep126">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|126|ref}}</ref> [[File:Zarc_becoming_Duel_champion.png|thumb|Z-ARC becomes Duel Champion.]]Z-ARC eventually became World Duel Champion, and he asked his audience if they wanted more. When they replied that they did, he Summoned his [[Four Dimensional Dragons|four dragons]] to destroy everything in his path. Feeling that his dragons were also not yet satisfied with their battles and seeking to attain the strongest power, Z-ARC [[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|united]] himself with his four dragons, becoming a single Duel Monster that people feared as the terrifying '''Supreme King Z-ARC'''. After Z-ARC's declaration of destruction, the armed military was unable to stop his continuous attacks on the world, and eventually he was only able to be opposed by other Duelists who collaborated with the military to stop him, but none were able to come close to matching his newly fused powers and were wiped away along with the opposing military forces.<ref name="ep126" />

However, Zarc Summoned "[[Supreme King Servant Dragon Oddit is implied that Ray once admired Z-Eyes]]" during SylvioARC's turn Dueltainment as she was one of his fans but also fears him due to its own effecthis continuing cruelty. He then used As she is the effect of "Zarc" to destroy "[[Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King (anime)|Abyss Script - Rise of the Abyss King]]" when Sylvio used the effect of "Superstar" to add it to one who scattered his hand outside the Draw Phase.

He learned from Sylvio Summoning that the "Yuya Sakaki" he knew wasn't a coward to be so defensive and put braved danger to pull off a great escape. Sylvio used "Abyss Entertainment" again by tributing "Wild Hope" and setting "Abyss King" again, which he activates to target "Zarc". However, "Zarc" revive himself was unaffected due to Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Monsters being in the graveyard or banished, and cannot be destroyed.

==Deck=Yuya Sakaki, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri===Zarc uses a '''Z-ARC merely viewed his incarnations as "[[Supreme King]]alter-egos" Deck'''meant to ensure his revival, which focuses on maintaining dominance rather than separate people as he maliciously took control of their bodies whenever they were in a synchronized state of mind so he could have them seek each other out and reunite into his original body. Once he was revived after Yuya absorbed his counterparts, Z-ARC claimed the field with his ace monsterfour no longer existed. However, when Ray destroyed "[[Supreme King Dragon Zarc (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Zarc]]". The effects of Z-ARC"Zarc" let him control the Duel, protecting Z-ARC finds his monsters from incarnations helping Yuya metaphysically defy him as they gave Ray the effects of the opponent's Extra Deck monsters and also allowing opening to finish him to freely destroy cards added to an opponent's hand outside of off. Riley then used the [[Draw PhaseFour Nature Cards]], effectively preventing them to separate Z-ARC from using [[Action Card]]shis still merged incarnations and absorb him. The effect Yuya later regains his memories of "Zarc" also makes itself unable what he did under Z-ARC's influence as he seeks to be removed rectify everything that Z-ARC caused. But as Yuya accepts that he is no different from the field, as long as there are FusionZ-ARC, Synchro he learns that he and Xyz Monsters in any [[Graveyard]] or [[Banish|banished]]his past life were more alike while understanding Z-ARC's profound sadness.

Offensively===Riley Akaba===Allowing Ray to act through her to defeat Z-ARC, Zarc's main tactic is to Summon having learned how the "[[Supreme King Servant Dragon]]" versions of the [[Four Dimension Dragons]]Nature Cards worked and circumvent being split into quadruplets, which possess effects that let them dominate Riley used the field when faced with opposing monsters of the same Extra Deck summoning method as them. Their effects let Zarc summon them cards' power to the field on the opponentextract Z-ARC from his incarnations and absorb Z-ARC's turn when he controls "Zarc" by [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Supreme King Servant Dragon" monsters he controls when spirit into herself. It left her in a catatonic state as a result with Declan fearing Z-ARC might take over her body and resume his opponent [[Special Summon]]s a monster from the Extra Deck via the corresponding summoning methodrampage unless Yuya made her smile. A critical part of Zarc's strategy is keeping his two "[[Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm (anime)|Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm]]s" on the field at all times so he can use them as materials to summon Riley and Z-ARC eventually did indeed smile, ending his other Extra Deck monsters whenever neededthreat for good.

Due to incorporating == Deck ==Z-ARC uses a '''"[[Yuya Sakaki|YuyaSupreme King]] into himself upon his resurrection" Deck''', Zarc is capable which focuses on maintaining dominance of the [[Pendulum Summonfield]]ing. Utilizing the with his ace [[Pendulum MonsterCard|monster]]s , "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Gate InfinityZ-ARC]]" and ". The [[Supreme King Gate Zero (anime)|Supreme King Gate Zeroeffect]]s of "Z-ARC" let him control the Duel, he is able protecting his monsters from the effects of the opponent's [[Extra Deck]] monsters and also allowing him to make himself immune freely [[destroy]] cards [[add a card|added]] to any type an opponent's [[hand]] outside of damage and gain the [[Draw Phase]], effectively preventing them from using [[LPAction Card]] equal s and restricting the opponent to that damageonly using their opening hand. This not only The effect of "Z-ARC" also makes Zarc nearly impervious itself unable to damagebe removed from the field, but attempts to damage him usually only serve to further increase his Life Pointsas long as there are [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] and [[Xyz Monster]]s in any [[Graveyard]] or [[banish]]ed.

All Offensively, Z-ARC's main tactic is to Summon the "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" versions of this allows Zarc to counter almost anything the opponent tries to use against him and maintain his dominance over [[Four Dimensional Dragons]], which possess effects that let them dominate the field through a variety when faced with opposing monsters of protective the same Extra Deck Summoning method as them. Their effects let Z-ARC Summon them to render himself and his monsters impervious to harm. As noted the field on the opponent's [[turn]] when he controls "Z-ARC" by [[Sylvio SawatariTribute|SylvioTributing]] "Supreme King Dragon" monsters he [[control]], this overly defensive s when his opponent [[Special Summon]]s a monster from the Extra Deck via the corresponding Summoning method. A critical part of Z-ARC's strategy is a big contrast keeping his two "[[Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm]]s" on the field at all times so he can use them to Yuya's playstyle of taking risks bravely rather than playing it safeSummon his other "Supreme King Dragons" whenever needed.

Due to incorporating [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]] into himself upon his resurrection, Z-ARC is capable of [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. Utilizing the [[Pendulum Monster]]s "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity (anime)|Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" and "[[Supreme King Gate Zero (anime)|Supreme King Gate Zero]]", he is able to make himself immune to any type of damage and gain [[LP]] equal to that damage. This not only makes Z-ARC nearly impervious to damage, but attempts to damage him usually only serve to further increase his Life Points. All of this allows Z-ARC to shut down almost anything the opponent tries to use against him and maintain his dominance over the field through a variety of protective effects that render himself and his monsters impervious to harm. As noted by [[Sylvio Sawatari|Sylvio]], this overly defensive strategy is a big contrast to Yuya's playstyle of taking risks bravely rather than playing it safe. Prior to merging with his dragons, Z-ARC's Deck was known to contain "[[Odd-Eyes Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Dragon]]", "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", "[[Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (anime)|Clear Wing Synchro Dragon]]", "[[Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Starving Venom Fusion Dragon]]" and "[[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|Astrograph Sorcerer]]". {{Decklist|ZarcZ-ARC
