Changes

Supreme King Z-ARC continues to lay waste to the [[City (Fusion Dimension)|City]] below him, asking if anyone will try to defeat him and demanding a Duel. Aster and Sora rush to the edge of a platform, shocked at the destruction and Aster wonders if this was the result of the [[Arc Project]]: the project intended to realize the Professor's intended vision of an ideal world has instead produced a devil, casting the world into ruin. As the Commander of Duel Academy's Xyz Expeditionary Force, Aster believes he has to take responsibility for the situation, and as Sora pops a lollipop into his mouth, Aster asks him once again if he'll help him. Sora turns away and refuses, but claims he'd be willing to entertain the idea of ''Aster'' helping him, then offers him a lollipop.

A group of people flee the destruction, Supreme King Z-ARC cuts them off, telling the foolish humans to teel themselves and fight him, then die until the day that only one remains, until the entire world is destroyed. He breathes another column of energy at them, but it's blocked just in time by "[[Destiny HERO - Decider (anime)|Destiny HERO - Decider]]", surrounded by a blue energy sphere, and Aster and Sora get between Z-ARC and the people, Aster declaring they'll face him. Sora tells Z-ARC to stop hiding and show himself already, and Supreme King Z-ARC dissolves into smoke, bemused at finally finding some prey. The smoke crackles with red lightning and gathers in front of them, before dispersing to reveal Z-ARC in humanoid form. Sora comments that Z-ARC is finally showing himself, a claim that confuses Z-ARC, who points out that he's been in front of them all along. Z-ARC's body is now that of [[Yuya Sakaki|Yuya]], but with grey gargoyle-like features and skin and warped black wings, his eyes glowing yellow. Aster asks if he isn't Yuya, but a monster fused with a human, and Sora demands to know where Yuya is and whether Z-ARC is controlling him. Z-ARC claims this is who he is, and Yuya was nothing more than an avatar to enable his revival, and he's gone now. Aster and Sora are shocked by Z-ARC's claim, and Z-ARC adds that they'll be the first two sacrifices to the extinction of humanity, suggesting they be proud of this. He activates Yuya's [[Duel Disk]], now with a green outline at one end of the dragon head-shaped blade, and Aster and Sora do likewise, all three calling "Duel!"

Back at Duel Academy, [[Shay Obsidian|Shay]] and [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite]] see the red cloud has covered the entire island holding the city. Shay asks what on earth is going to happen, and Kite spots something and he tells Shay to look. They see Aster and Sora fleeing through a rip in space, and Kite wonders who they're Dueling. He sees Z-ARC's face, and he asks in shock if it's Yuya. He wonders if this is the Z-ARC that [[Yusho Sakaki|Yusho]] mentioned, and Shay asks in shock what Kite means. Kite muses that it must be; Z-ARC has revived. Shay looks back at Z-ARC, noting that this must be who Yuya, [[Yuto]], [[Yugo]] and Yuri reunited into; the devil Duelist. Kite suggests that they go; Aster and the others are in trouble.

Alone in the belching red smoke, Z-ARC chants "Ultimate dragon, who reigns over the four heavenly dragons, in this moment, become one with me! [[Unity Summon]]! Come forth, [[Supreme King Z-ARC (anime)|Supreme King Z-ARC]]!" ("One merciless dragon, to rule over all others! Merge with me and we will dominate every dimension! Let us reunite, reunite as one! The ultimate union of man and monster! Pendulum, Xyz, Synchro, Fusion, all these powers are mine! With the mightiest power of each of the Four Dimensions combined into one! Together, we are Supreme King Z-ARC!" in the dub; the chant is longer and encapsulates the following explanation). Z-ARC ascends into the smoke and then a titanic pair of wings erupts from the clouds as the Supreme King's red eyes gleam through the smoke. Then it beats its wings, dispelling the clouds and revealing Supreme King Z-ARC at last; a titanic grey and tan union of the Four Dimension Dragons with emerald highlights, its colossal tail and wings making up most of its size. It towers over the island with 4000 ATK as Z-ARC laughs and he declares that he is Pendulum, Xyz Synchro, and Fusion - the "Z-ARC" card is a hybrid of all four monster card types. He is the supreme being who rules them all.
