Updating names. I still think this needs to be merging with IDD, but goodness only knows if that'll ever happen...

The '''Arc Project''' Known , known as "'''Aquaria Project'''" or alternatively translated as "'''Arc-Area Project'''" (アークエリア・プロジェクト ''Ākueria Purojekuto'') in the original Japanese version is the name of the project devised by [[Leo Akaba]] and as such the goal of [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]], which involves the using the power of [[Fusion]] to merge the [[Four Dimensions]] and revert the worlds to their original state: the [[Original Dimension|United World]]. This According to Duel Academy's military officers and lower ranking soldiers, this would supposedly establish a utopia where all people from the various dimensions can live in peace or so is stated by Duel Academy's military officers and lower ranking soldiers.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

==Overview==
When people are turned into cards, the process turns their natural energy, their bodies and souls, into condensed versions, cards, and are all sent without fail to Duel Academy (except for non-unprecedented card transformations like Dennis' or the carded LID students). The project is a means to complete [[Revival Zero]], which requires the gathering of natural energy, the people turned into condensed card versions of themselves, as energy source for [[ARC-V (machine)|ARC-V]].
Leo, finding the [[Lancers]] (led by Declan) and Yuya as threat to his Aquaria Arc Project, decided to send the [[Gloria Tyler|Tyler]] [[Grace Tyler|sisters]] to the Xyz Dimension in order to eliminate them<ref name="ep106" /> as well as the [[Obelisk Force]] as insurance.<ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|108|ref}}</ref>
Ultimately, the Aquaria Arc Project inadvertently ended up causing [[Zarc]]'s resurrection and put the dimensions in danger. However, the Lancers and [[Ray Akaba|Ray]]'s opposition towards him prevented this outcome and caused the [[Standard Dimension]] rebirth as the '''"Pendulum Dimension"''', while [[Riley Akaba|Riley]] sealed Zarc's soul into herself but at the cost of returning as a catatonic infant. Since Riley needed to regain her smile in order to permanently purify Zarc's soul, Yuya was forced to Duel several of his former allies in order to restore it and overcome his fear of Zarc's return. Eventually Yuya faced Declan in their final Duel to test his aptitude to become a pro Duelist and succeeded in defeating him, restoring Riley's smile and purifying Zarc's soul.
