"Arc Area Project" (アークエリア・プロジェクト Āku Eria Purojekuto) is the name of the project devised by Leo Akaba and as such the goal of Duel Academy, which involves the use of the power of Fusion to make all the worlds become one and allegedly establish a utopia where all people from the various dimensions can live in peace, or so is taught to the students of Academia.^[1]^[2]

This project is shown to require Zuzu and her dimensional counterparts^[3], as well as invading the Xyz and Synchro Dimensions^[4] and having their people sealed into cards in order to bring them back to Duel Academy and use their life force to power the project.^[5] According to Declan Akaba, Yuya and his counterparts are also important.^[6] 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 Academia (except for non-Academia unprecendented card transformations like Dennis's or the carded LDS students).

Leo, finding the Lancers (led by Declan) and Yuya as threat to his Arc Area Project, decided to send the Tyler sisters to the Xyz Dimension in order to eliminate them as well as the Obelisk Force as insurance.^[2]

The project is a means to complete the Revival Zero plan, which requires the gathering of natural energy, the people turned into condensed card versions of themselves, as a energy source.
