Unfortunately Originally a pro [[Duelist]] with benevolent intentions, Zarc accidentally grew aggression Z-ARC was rendered psychotic because of the dragons' belligerence, the pressure of his audience's selfishness and greed for violent exciting duels, his obsession with becoming the strongest Duelist and the foreboding eventuality of being defeated, which led him to destroy his decision to devastate the civilization of the [[Original Dimension]] and take on mutate into a dragon form spiteful draconic being known as [['''Supreme King Dragon Zarc (character)|Supreme King Dragon Zarc]]Z-ARC'''.

====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 ZarcZ-ARC-Yuya.]]ZarcZ-ARC's revived body takes the form of Yuya - the final survivor of the battle between his reincarnations, particularly his . He retains Yuya's hair and signature goggles, but the red portion of his hair also becomes slightly darker. His overall appearance is a a mixture between draconic, human, and demon. His body turns gray and become bulkier with spikes protruding from his shoulders, arms, and ankles; and now 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. The red portion of his hair also becomes slightly darker, no longer having ruby-colored shine. 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! ARC-V|136|ref}}</ref>The first time Z-ARC united with his dragons, his original body possessed these exaggerated features and wings and the veins on his face glowed crimson.<ref name="ep126" /> ====Dragon form====[[File:FullBodySupremeKingDragonZarc.png|thumb|250px|right|Supreme King Z-ARC's full appearance.]]After uniting with his dragons into Supreme King Z-ARC, Z-ARC takes the form of a colossal dragon with traits from all [[Four Dimensional Dragons]] and Z-ARC, with an overall appearance that is similar to "[[Number 92: Heart-eartH Dragon (anime)|Number 92: Heart-eartH Dragon]]". 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. The upper torso of the mutated form of Z-ARC protrudes from the upper chest of Supreme King Z-ARC, rather than the back of the head as seen when [[Yami Marik]] fused with "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]", [[Dartz]] combined with [[the Great Leviathan]], and when [[Paradox]] fused with "[[Malefic Truth Dragon (anime)|Malefic Truth Dragon]]". The chest itself is similar to that of "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon (anime)|Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]"; being a predominantly green diamond shape that extends up the throat, with a tan section in the center from which Z-ARC emerges.

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. When Crow pointed this out, Zarc was irritated, asserting that he never loses.

[[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!

[[File:Zarc_becoming_Duel_champion.png|thumb|left|Zarc becoming Z-ARC becomes Duel championChampion.]]Eventually in a tournament after becoming Z-ARC eventually became World Duel championChampion, and he asked his audience if they wanted more. When they replied that they did, he Summoned his [[Four Dimension Dimensional Dragons|four dragons]] to destroy everything in his waypath. Feeling that his dragons were also not yet satisfied with their battles and seeking to attain the strongest power, Zarc Z-ARC [[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|fusedunited]] himself with his four dragons, becoming a single dragon Duel Monster that people called feared as the [[Supreme King Dragon Zarc (character)|terrifying '''Supreme King Dragon Zarc]]Z-ARC'''. After ZarcZ-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" />

To Z-ARC's surprise, which focuses on maintaining dominance Declan reminded Yuya that he was the founder of the field with his ace monsterPendulum Summoning. Z-ARC observed Declan Pendulum-Xyz, Synchro, and Fusion Summon "[[D/D/D Wave High King Caesar (anime)|D/D/D Wave High King Caesar]]", "[[Supreme D/D/D Gust High King Dragon Zarc Alexander (anime)|Supreme D/D/D Gust High King Dragon ZarcAlexander]]".

Z-ARC laughed at Declan's hand outside misunderstanding before claiming that he was the true founder of Pendulum Summoning, which was born for his revenge against [[Ray Akaba|Ray]] when the Original Dimension was divided. Due to the damage he had suffered, Z-ARC was able to bring out all four of his "[[Draw PhaseSupreme King Dragon]]s" with "[[Supreme Rage (anime)|Supreme Rage]]", effectively preventing them from using including "[[Action CardSupreme King Dragon Starving Venom (anime)|Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom]]s".

Offensively[[File:Zarc_Loss.png|thumb|right|250px|Z-ARC is finally defeated by Ray and Riley.]]Riley revealed that she was being possessed by Ray, Zarcand to Z-ARC's main tactic is shock and anger she used the Four Nature Cards to Summon destroy "Z-ARC" and the "[[Supreme King Servant Dragon]]Dragons" versions of the . Riley called out to Yuya, and Z-ARC insisted that he wasn't Yuya. Declan explained that Z-ARC was both himself ''and'' Yuya, since his heart was constantly swinging like a pendulum. Ray also claimed that Pendulum Summoning wasn't just born from Z-ARC's malice and she declared that Yuya still existed within him. Z-ARC continued to deny their claims, until [[Four Dimension DragonsZuzu Boyle|Zuzu]]called to him from within Riley. She urged Yuya to remember how he wanted make people around the world smile. Z-ARC denied those smiles, which possess effects claiming that let them dominate the field when faced with opposing monsters he wanted to spread fear, but Yuya managed to regain control of the same Extra Deck summoning method as themtheir body after remembering his mission to save Zuzu. Their effects let Zarc summon them Z-ARC began to the field on the opponent's turn fight Yuya for control when he controls "Zarcused " by [[TributeSmile Universe (anime)|TributingSmile Universe]] "Supreme King Servant Dragonto revive "Z-ARC" and "Odd-Eyes" monsters , proclaiming Pendulum Monsters as immortals. Furious that his alter ego was getting in his way, Z-ARC ordered Yuya to stop, but he controls was finally defeated when his opponent they used "[[Special SummonEn Flowers]]" to destroy his dragons and inflict damage for each one. The power of the Four Nature Cards began to split Z-ARC and the Four Dimensions again, but Riley ejected Ray's a monster soul from the Extra Deck via the corresponding summoning method. A critical part of Zarcher body, removed Z-ARC's strategy is keeping his two "[[Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm (anime)|Supreme King Servant Dragon Darkwurm]]soul from Yuya's" on the field at all times so he can use them as materials body, and sealed it within her own body to summon prevent his other Extra Deck monsters whenever neededrevival again.<ref name="ep140" />

Due to incorporating [[Yuya SakakiFile:Ray_seals_Zarc.png|250px|thumb|left|YuyaRiley seals Z-ARC within her body.]] Z-ARC and Riley's body was reverted into himself upon that of an infant, as his resurrectionand Ray's fragments had been following their first battle. Riley remained unsmiling, Zarc is capable of [[Pendulum Summon]]ing. Utilizing the [[Pendulum Monster]]and Declan worried that this meant that Z-ARC's "[[Supreme King Gate Infinity (anime)|Supreme King Gate Infinity]]" spirit intended to resurrect again and "[[Supreme King Gate Zero (anime)|Supreme King Gate Zero]]"put the world at risk. To this end, he is able enlisted Yuya to attempt to make himself immune to any type of damage Riley, and gain [[LP]] equal to by proxy Z-ARC, smile. Declan believed that damage. This not only makes Zarc nearly impervious if Z-ARC were to damagesmile through experiencing Dueltaining, but attempts it would signify his willingness to damage him usually only serve to further increase let go of his Life Pointsdesire for destruction.<ref name="ep143">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

==Relationships=====Ray Akaba===In an ironic comparison to the relationships between their fragments, Z-ARC has little relationship with Ray beyond abject loathing for both her and her fragments. However, it is implied that Ray once admired Z-ARC's Dueltainment as she was one of his fans but also fears him due to his continuing cruelty. As she is the one who scattered his essence, Z-ARC expressed severe hatred for her and her incarnations for their meddling in his affairs, but even still he feels that she is the only one truly worthy enough to provide him a challenge due to his splitting at her hands, boastfully claiming that the power of Pendulum Summoning that he used to revive himself was for the sole purpose of defeating Ray. ===Yuya Sakaki, Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri===Z-ARC merely viewed his incarnations as "alter-egos" meant to ensure his revival, 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 four no longer existed. However, when Ray destroyed "Supreme King Z-ARC", Z-ARC finds his incarnations helping Yuya metaphysically defy him as they gave Ray the opening to finish him off. Riley then used the [[Four Nature Cards]] to separate Z-ARC from his still merged incarnations and absorb him. Yuya later regains his memories of what he did under Z-ARC's influence as he seeks to rectify everything that Z-ARC caused. But as Yuya accepts that he is no different from Z-ARC, he learns that he and his past life were more alike while understanding Z-ARC's profound sadness. ===Riley Akaba===Allowing Ray to act through her to defeat Z-ARC, having learned how the Four Nature Cards worked and circumvent being split into quadruplets, Riley used the cards' power to extract Z-ARC from his incarnations and absorb Z-ARC's 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 rampage unless Yuya made her smile. Riley and Z-ARC eventually did indeed smile, ending his threat for good. == Deck ==Z-ARC uses a '''"[[Supreme King]]" Deck''', which focuses on maintaining dominance of the [[field]] with his ace [[Monster Card|monster]], "[[Supreme King Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Z-ARC]]". The [[effect]]s of "Z-ARC" let him control the Duel, protecting his monsters from the effects of the opponent's [[Extra Deck]] monsters and also allowing him to freely [[destroy]] cards [[add a card|added]] to an opponent's [[hand]] outside of the [[Draw Phase]], effectively preventing them from using [[Action Card]]s and restricting the opponent to only using their opening hand. The effect of "Z-ARC" also makes itself unable to be removed from the field, as long as there are [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Synchro Monster|Synchro]] and [[Xyz Monster]]s in any [[Graveyard]] or [[banish]]ed. Offensively, Z-ARC's main tactic is to Summon the "[[Supreme King Dragon]]" versions of the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]], which possess effects that let them dominate the field when faced with opposing monsters of the same Extra Deck Summoning method as them. Their effects let Z-ARC Summon them to the field on the opponent's [[turn]] when he controls "Z-ARC" by [[Tribute|Tributing]] "Supreme King Dragon" monsters he [[control]]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 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 Summon 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
