Episode Title:
A Ray of Hope.
Episode Description:
Riley allows Ray to borrow his body as a vessel so she can fight Zarc as Declan manages to deal considerable damage in his duel against Zarc. Though Declan insists that Yuya still exists because Zarc can use Pendulum Summoning, Zarc reveals himself to be its true creator the moment he was splintered by Ray. Zarc summons all of his Supreme King Dragons and swiftly defeats Declan as Ray joins the duel through Riley's body. Ray proceeds to retrieve the four Natural Energy cards from Leo's graveyard to negate Z-ARC's Fusion, Sychro, and Xyz attributes to significantly weaken him and destroy his Supreme Dragon form. Despite Z-ARC's insistence that Yuya is no more, Ray reveals that Pendulum Summon was created from both Zarc's vengeful desires and the power of the four Natural Energy cards themselves. Zuzu briefly manifests separately to reach Yuya within his mind and remind him of his desire and promise to her. With Yuya's counterparts supporting him, Yuya musters the strength to regain control over himself to place Zarc at a greater disadvantage for Ray to finish the duel. As Arc-V begins to splinter once more, Riley uses this moment to regain control of his body so he can use the four Natural Energy cards' power to extract Zarc from Yuya and seal Zarc's spirit into himself.
