Changes

'''Awakened''' (覚醒 ''Kakusei'')<ref>[[Katsumi Ono]] [https://i.imgur.com/faCSqgc interview]</ref> is the state of mind that [[Yuya Sakaki]] and [[dimensional counterparts|his counterparts]] occasionally enter. This ability changes the user's personality, voice, and mannerism to become more malevolent and causes their eyes to glow. According to [[Leo Akaba]], the Awakened state is the portion of [[Zarc]]'s will soul attempting to take over possess his reincarnations and reviveresuscitate.<ref name="ep128" />

This ability causes Yuya and his dimensional counterparts to go into a state of rage, and their eyes to white out and glow. This usually occurs in a Duel invoking the [[Four Dimension Dragons]] where the dragons overtake their owner's mind or when the user is sufficiently angered, and its activation is usually accompanied by an excruciating amount of pain. It is also possible to force the activation of the ability by forcefully amplifying the aggressiveness of the user through electrical shocks. The activation of Yuya's awakening is depicted by the opening of an eye, followed by the instant annihilation of a [[Original Dimension|shadowed city]].<ref name="ep87">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|87|ref}}</ref>

In Stage II, Yuya becomes collected and cold, speaking no more than necessary. Additionally, his hair becomes wild and his voice deeper (his voice remains the same pitch in the dub, though it becomes rougher), both his iris and pupils glow and mute any natural shine to them. He is occasionally surrounded by a dark aura, and his card also become darker.<ref name="ep39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|39|ref}}</ref> His card also become darker.

In Stage III, Yuya's hair sticks upwards, his pupils glow white, and he is constantly surrounded by a [[The DarknessZarc|dark aura]]. He also becomes vicious and even sadistic, shown by his ruthlessness while Dueling the [[Obelisk Force]] and continued to thrash about while restrained by his friends. He is also capable of unleashing powerful shockwaves that are beyond normal for a person originating from the Standard Dimension.<ref name="ep46" />

In Stage IV, Yuya's pupils will glow even brighter and all of his counterparts will gain the same dark aura around them if they are in sync with Yuya. Yuya's anger in this stage grows to an almost primal rage, that he become impervious to reason. Anything he is in contact with also gain a dark aura, in the same manner as Yuya. This stage takes such a toll on their bodies and minds that their eyes become dull and empty as the glow fades, though Yuya's eyes become brown instead, and all of them pass out afterwards.<ref name="ep88">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|88|ref}}</ref> Anything he is in contact with also gain black aura, in the same manner as Yuya.

In Stage V, Yuya's eyes become completely red. Yuya is surrounded by dark aura and start behaving like Zarc, wanting to show his own strength and ruthlessness to his opponents for his own pleasure; in the Dub, Yuya's voice becomes Zarc's. The Doktor and Leo end up causing this form to activate by angering Yuya. This stage is the closest stage to Zarc's Awakening.<ref name="ep128" />

In Stage VI, Yuya's pupils become white, his hair once again stick upwards, and surrounded by a thicker dark aura. At this level of extreme rage, Yuya somewhat gained unnatural strength as he broke free from "[[Binding Swords Restraining Sword of Impact]]".<ref name="ep133" />

ARC-V|127|ref}}</ref>

After seeing the [[Knights of the Duel Disks]] students being turned into cards by the [[Obelisk Force]], Yuto's memories of [[Invasion of Xyz Dimension|when Heartland was invaded]] and his vengeful hatred towards the [[Fusion Dimension]] flooded into Yuya's mind, triggering Yuya to awaken again to take revenge on them. This time, Yuya's awakening took on a whole different level; Yuya became more brutal and even enjoyed inflicting damage to his opponents.<ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|45|ref}}</ref> During the Duel against the Obelisk Force, Yuya progressively became more malicious and violent, becoming surrounded by a dark aura, and ultimately he summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon]]" to defeat them all at once. After winning the Duel, he remained awakened and continued to where [[Sora Perse|Sora]] and [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] were dueling, but was restrained by [[Gong Strong|Gong]], [[Aura Sentia|Aura]], [[Reed Pepper|Reed]], and [[Trout]]. While restrained, Yuya only kept on yelling violently in pain and struggling to escape (biting and uppercutting Trout) until passing out. Aura was able to determine that there were two souls within Yuya, along with a [[The DarknessZarc|terrifying darkness]]. Yuto's soul was the one who initially triggered the awakening, but the darkness eventually took over both souls and caused their anger to intensify. After resting, Yuya returned to normal and was consciously informed of this state, along with what he had been doing while awakened and what Aura had discovered.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|46|ref}}</ref>

During his Duel with [[Lulu Obsidian|Lulu]] and [[Celina]], a [[Parasite Monster]] landed on Yuya's shoulder and went inside his ear, attempting to take control of him. However, it caused him to awaken for a brief moment as the Darkness Zarc's darkness destroyed it. After [[The Doktor|the Doktor]] taunted Yuya by showing that Zuzu was under his control, Yuya and Yuto furiously awakened. The intense anger of their awakening caused the "[[Fusion Parasite (anime)|Fusion ParasitesParasite]]s" to retreat in fear, while a sinister silhouette appeared behind Yuya. They summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]" to defeat both Lulu and Celina simultaneously, destroying most of the Doktor's laboratory in the process. After the Duel, Yuya remained conscious and followed them to the Doktor.<ref name="ep125">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|125|ref}}</ref>

When Yugo and Yuri summoned "Clear Wing" and "Starving Venom" respectively, they, Yuya, and Yuto entered a [[Synchronize (ability)|synchronized]] awakening (with Yuya gaining his aura again) and started shouting that they would become one again.<ref name="ep126">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|126|ref}}</ref> When the [[Fusion Dimension Machine|ARC-VReactor]] started to power up around the girls capsule' capsules, Yuya and Yuto was worried and angrily told [[Leo Akaba|Leo]] to stop this, causing them to awaken and gain emit dark auras. He and Yuto manage managed to overcome the pain including of [[Zarc]]'s influence but Yuya returned to the state when [[Fusion Summon]]ing "[[Performapal Gatling Ghoul (anime)|Performapal Gatling Ghoul]]".<ref name="ep128">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|128|ref}}</ref> During the Duel, Yuya managed to fight most of the pain and even make brief contact to Declan with Yuto. But, Zarc's will continued to try to take over and when the [[Four Dimension Dragons]] were all out at the same time, Yuya's pain increased with his dark aura turning into a dragonSupreme King Z-ARC's silhouette. As he Summoned "[[Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon (anime)|Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon]]", Yuya destroyed everything on the field and inflicting inflicted damage to Declan unintentionally. As he was about to defeat Leo and Declan, [[Yusho Sakaki|Yusho]] bound him to a pillar with "[[Binding Swords Restraining Sword of Impact]]".<ref name="ep129">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|129|ref}}</ref> Yuya then tried to break free<ref name="ep130">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|130|ref}}</ref> as he sensed Yugo and Yuri coming to him soon and didn't want to be near them.<ref name="ep131">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|131|ref}}</ref>

When [[Aster Phoenix (ARC-V)|Aster]] and [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite]]'s Duel against Yugo and Yuri, they managed to push Yugo into a corner in order for him to regain his true self. Yugo started to show signs of breaking free when Aster mentioned about saving [[Rin]]. Aster managed to free Yugo from his awakening with "[[Destiny HERO - DuskutopiaguyDusktopia (anime)|Destiny HERO - Dusktopia]]", but Yuri told him it was too late to get him to smile. He then defeated Aster and Kite with the effect of "[[Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon (anime)|Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon]]"<ref name="ep130" /> and Yugo with the effect of "Starving Venom".<ref name="ep131" /> When "Clear Wing" and "Starving Venom" resonated, Yugo awakened briefly and shouted to become one just before being absorbed by Yuri. Yuya resonated with Yuri's absorption but started to break free of his awakening when watching his father Duel Yuri.<ref name="ep132">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|132|ref}}</ref> He broke free from it completely during their Duel but reawaken again when Yuri sealed his father into a [[Yusho Sakaki (card)|card]] and showed it to Yuya, causing his rage to reach a breaking point, who then broke free from "Binding Swords Restraining Sword of Impact".<ref name="ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|133|ref}}</ref>

During his Duel with Yuri, Yuya managed to calm down after drawing "[[Smile World (anime)|Smile World]]" and remembering Yusho's words but remained awakened. When he and Yuri Summoned all Four Dimension Dragons, their resonation caused Yuri, Yugo, and Yuto entered a synchronized awakening and shout to become one while Yuya screamed in pain.<ref name="ep134">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|134|ref}}</ref> When Yuri tried to convince Yuya to surrender and become one with him, he briefly awakened while he, Yuto, and Yugo kept shouting to become one. It also caused Yuya to awaken and release a shockwave of darkness until Declan made him remember Yusho's ideals to break free. Yuto and Yugo would also break free from their awakening when Yuya took control of "Dark Rebellion" and "Clear Wing" from Yuri. After Yuya defeated Yuri, he was succumb succumbed to Zarc's will and awakened when he summoned "[[Astrograph Sorcerer (anime)|Astrograph Sorcerer]]" to fuse reunite with the Four Dimension Dragons. Yuri would also awaken briefly before being absorbed by Yuya to become [[Supreme King Z-ARC (character)|Supreme King Z-ARC]].<ref name="ep135">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|135|ref}}</ref>
