Seven Barian Emperors The Seven Barian Emperors or Seven Varian Emperors ( バリアン " Barian Nanakō " ) , are a group of elite Barian s within the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime , reincarnated by Don Thousand and led by Nash . They have a mission of collecting the " Number s " and protecting their world against the menace of Astral World as part of the Interdimensional War against the latter . For a while , because of the disappearance of Nash and Marin , the group was reduced to five members , with Dumon assuming control until their return . During the invasion of Earth , Don Thousand , having been released from his prison by Vector , began conspiring with him against Nash and the other emperors by brainwashing Girag and Alito into becoming Vector ' s underlings and eventually devouring their souls along with Dumon ' s and Marin ' s to steal their powers . Thousand later betrays Vector and consumes his soul , along with Mizar ' s after defeating him in a brief Duel . Nash was then defeated by Yuma Tsukumo . The Seven Barian Emperors are shown to have been revived and returned back into human selves and to have enrolled in Heartland Academy , following Astral ' s defeat . Design . Etymology . The Seven Barian Emperors are loosely named after one of the stars of the in the Japanese version : Abilities . While on Earth , the Barian Emperors are forced to take on a true human form , not knowing that this form was the one they had from the time they were humans , although Dumon apparently only needs to do this if his Baria Crystal is damaged . The only major resemblance between their Barian and human forms is their hair , which only changes color . As energy beings , they are tolerant to pain , even in human form ; Girag was able to take a punch in the face from Fender without so much as a flinch . After the Human World and Barian World begins to merge , the Emperors were able to maintain their Barian forms on Earth . They can travel from and to Barian World using Overlay Network s and can also utilize the ability on Earth , vanishing and reappearing on a whim . Mizar showed the ability to fire energy balls for offensive purposes , though they do not cause lasting damage . These abilities can also be granted to humans . Vetrix , who made a contract with the Barians , was able to produce energy ball s and use the aforementioned networks to travel . The Seven Barian Emperors also possess the ability to Rank - Up their Xyz Monster s by the use of " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " , which lets them Summon " Number C " and " CXyz " monsters . These " Chaos " monsters originate from Barian World and are produced there as " weapons " to defeat the " Number s " . While in human form , Barians cannot wield them , but they can use " Barian ' s Force " to brainwash humans into doing so for them . The brainwashing effect appears to vary depending on who does uses it ; Girag ' s victims retain their personality but become obsessed with Barian World , while Vector ' s victims are similar to sleeper agents , retaining their original personalities until the brainwashing activates at a later time , and when Alito controlled Nistro the latter was completely robbed of free will . In addition , if a Barian were to lose a Duel to a person using a " CXyz " , they would vanish from existence , just as Astral would if he lost to a " Number " . However , if one of the Seven Barian Emperors loses a Duel after Don Thousand ' s curse was lifted , they will lose their Barian form and will eventually revert back to their true form as a human ; they also lose their abilities to Barian Battlemorph and use their " Number 10X " ( read as " Over - Hundred Number " ) . Chaos Draw . The Chaos Draw , named Barian ' s Chaos Draw ( バリアンズ ・ カオス ・ ドロー " Barianzu Kaosu Dorō " ) in the Japanese version , is an ability first obtained by Nash . It is the Barian counterpart to Shining Draw . When Nash obtained this ability , it resonated with all the other Emperors in their Dueling at that moment and all of them simultaneously gained it . When this power is used , the user is surrounded by a reddish - purple column of light and automatically draw s " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " . Each of them retained this ability in future Duels and could continue using it to draw " The Seventh One " . Biography . History . The Seven Barian Emperors were once humans connected to the Mythyrian " Number " cards , which had sealed the deity of Barian World , Don Thousand ' s power . Through his actions , Don Thousand orchestrated their tragic ends to become reincarnated as Barians , granting them portions of his power while their original human memories remained suppressed to the truth . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL II . The Barians were at war with Astral World and sought to protect it from its envoy , Astral . One Barian , Mizar , specified that if they do not , then their own world will have " no future " . For that reason , the Barians are bent on stealing the " Number s " from him and finding the location of " Numeron Code " - the " God Card " that created the world and can decide fate . Since they cannot gather the " Numbers " themselves , Vector and Dumon began manipulating humans like Dr . Faker and Vetrix into doing so for them , as well as enacting his own plan to attack Astral World directly . With the defeat of both human pawns and Vector ' s disappearance , Dumon decided that they would have to intervene directly . To that end , Dumon sent Girag to Earth . On Earth , Barians must assume human form , though they do not decide their appearance and are unable to Summon " CXyz " monsters . Following Girag ' s failed attempts to get Yuma ' s " Numbers " , Dumon sends Alito to aid in his endeavor . After the constant failures of Girag and Alito , Dumon decides to send Mizar to Earth , giving him three " Barian Sphere Cube s " which lets Barians collect " Numbers " themselves . Mizar ' s arrival was by a giant energy ball crashing into a forest , causing a deep crater . Mizar ' s attempt to defeat Yuma was interrupted by Kite Tenjo , who took over the Duel . Mizar ended up cancelling the Duel when the power of his " " nearly destroyed the Barian Sphere Field . Girag would then make another attempt , brainwashing a whole army of students , but Yuma was rescued by Alito , who wished to defeat Yuma himself . Alito deployed his Barian Sphere Cube , but was ultimately defeated by the power of ZEXAL . He was later ambushed , prompting Girag to take revenge , believing Ray Shadows had been the one to ambush him . Girag ended up Dueling " Ray " and Yuma at the same time in his own Sphere Field . " Ray " revealed his identity as a Barian Cosmic Crime Unit and gave Yuma " Rank - Up - Magic Limited Barian ' s Force " , allowing him to defeat Girag with " " . Vector , who was believed to be dead , eventually emerged on Earth and used " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " to brainwash Brooke Walker , who Dueled alongside her husband Mayday against Yuma and Anna Kaboom . This ultimately failed as well . Afterwards , Vector challenged Yuma to a Duel where he purposely lost and gave " " to Astral while kidnapping " Ray Shadows " . Yuma and the others headed to Sargasso to save Ray , where Vector awaited , along with Dumon and Mizar . It was there that Ray revealed himself as Vector during his Duel with Yuma , emotionally breaking the latter and causing Astral to lose trust in him , resulting in the use of Dark ZEXAL . Dark ZEXAL recklessly attacked Vector ' s " " with " Utopia Ray V " equipped with " DZW - Chimera Clad " , taking damage in the process thanks to Vector ' s " Hundred - Over " . At the last minute , Yuma and Astral separated from Dark ZEXAL after they recovered their trust in each other . This renewed trust allowed them to merge into ZEXAL II and create " Rank - Up - Magic Numeron Force " to Summon " " and defeat Vector . After Vector ' s Sargasso plan failed , he released Don Thousand and fused with him and began searching for the Mythyrian " Numbers " . To that end , he tells the remaining emperors of the seven Numbers that could help turn the tide of the war and reawakens Alito and Girag from their comas . Later then , Vector forms a brief alliance with the malevolent Number 96 at Don Thousand ' s behest , with the intent on absorbing it to obtain its power , while Dumon goes to investigate for the missing two Barian Emperors , Nash and Marin , and learns the truth about their past lives . After Astral ' s sacrifice to defeat Number 96 , Vector absorbed what remained of his power and used it to create Fake Number s to fuse the Human World and Barian World , in order to grant Don Thousand the power to destroy Astral World . The absorption of Number 96 ' s power also allowed Vector to obtain all " Numbers " that Number 96 had in his possession before he was killed . Vector proceeded to restore Mr . Heartland to his human form and reincarnate Mr . Heartland ' s old mentor , as well as two of Mr . Heartland ' s old Dueling criminal partners as Barians so Mr . Heartland could have underlings to assist him in defeating Yuma , Shark , and Kite . However , all but Mr . Heartland were defeat by Yuma , Shark and Kite with the help of Trey , Quattro , and Quinton . Later , Shark and Rio learned that they are really the two missing Emperors , Nash and Marin . Dumon awakened their memories and transported them to Barian World , where they returned to their Barian forms . Later , after resuming their positions as the group ' s leaders , they called for an emergency meeting . Vector was shocked to see that Nash and Marin had returned and were still alive . Dumon revealed that they ended up on Earth as humans . Nash confirmed that though they were enemies in the Human World , he was on their side now . To prove this , he told Vector to kill him should Vector sense any degree of betrayal . Vector suggested they attempt to assault Earth immediately , as Yuma and Astral were absent . Nash told Vector not to underestimate Yuma - there is no way he will not return . Nevertheless , he did consent to Vector ' s suggestion after bestowing new power to each of the other Emperors . After Mr . Heartland was defeated , the Seven Barian Emperors arrived together on Earth in front of Yuma , where Shark revealed that he was Nash , leader of the Barians , and the seven proceeded to use Barian Battlemorph . Then , while he and Yuma were arguing over the need for them to battle , the Barian Emblem reacted with the Emperor ' s Key , letting Yuma see Nash ' s past life and Nash see the events that Yuma had been involved with in Astral World , to which he noted their responsibilities to the two worlds . After Yuma fainted , they were about to attack when Roku and Kaze arrived and pelted the Emperors with smoke bombs , allowing Yuma ' s entire group to escape . Nash ordered a chase , but each of the other Emperors except Vector were blocked by duelists Yuma had befriended in the past - Mizar by Anna and Nelson , Girag by Roku and Kaze , Alito by Nistro , Marin by Bronk , and Dumon by Dextra - and forced to Duel . Nash caught up with the car they had used to flee and found himself confronted by Quattro as the car sped away again . Quattro vowed to do what Yuma would do - reforge the bonds of friendships with a Duel , but Nash proclaimed they can never understand each other no matter how many times they Duel . Though they all initially had trouble against their opponents , the tide turned drastically when the Barian Emperors performed Chaos Draw . Creating " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " , they each Ranked Up their " Number 10X " . One by one , the Emperors defeated their opponents , and sent them to Barian World . As Quattro , the last of them , was sent to Barian World , he remarked he ' d be going to hell before Nash , who responded that he ' d be joining Quattro there as soon as the conflict was over . The other Emperors regrouped and Nash ordered them to split and find the remaining " Number " holders - Yuma , Astral , Kite , Trey and Quinton . Later , after Quinton and Trey left Yuma , Mizar found them and demanded they tell him where Yuma and Kite were . Quinton responded that they ' d only tell him if he won against them in a Duel . As soon as Quinton Summoned " " , Dumon and Marin saw it in the sky and headed towards the area of the Duel . Trey and Quinton proceeded to use their bracelets to entrap the three Emperors within a Sphere Field , preventing anyone from exiting until the Duel was over . Meanwhile , Vector used the powers of Don Thousand to brainwash Alito and Girag into obeying him . Consequently , Girag told Nash that Yuma and Astral were heading to Barian World . Upon hearing this , Nash quickly returned to Barian World , telling Girag to do the same . However , while they were in transit , Girag suddenly betrayed Nash and restrained him , stating for Don Thousand ' s plans , the Barian Leader could not be allowed to face Yuma just yet . Mizar , in the meantime , brutally defeated Trey and Quinton , but not before it was discovered that the two had planned to sacrifice themselves to let Kite get to the moon , and Yuma to Barian World itself . Thus , Mizar prepared to follow Kite . Unknown to the rest of the Emperors , Vector put another plan in motion to steal their powers and become all powerful with the aid of Don Thousand . He challenged Dumon and Marin to a Duel in order to absorb their powers . Although the two of them fought hard , they were ultimately defeated and their souls were absorbed . Later Vector attempted to kill Yuma and Girag but Girag pushed Yuma out of the way and took the hit for him . As a result , Girag ' s , Alito ' s and Ponta ' s souls were absorbed into Vector . Vector was about to face off against Yuma , but he sensed Nash escaping from the prison he put him in and went to go Duel him . On the moon , Mizar challenged Kite to one final showdown to decide who will receive the to the Numeron Code and the right of becoming the true " Galaxy - Eyes " master . Even though Kite won , he conferred the title to Mizar . He was then entrusted with the key and told to follow his own path , as Kite died from his sustained injuries and lack of oxygen . In Barian World , Vector summoned the arena of his " Number " ruins to use as a battleground for him and Nash , who raced through Barian World and encountered the traitorous Barian Emperor . The two began their Duel , and eventually Yuma , Astral , and Tori arrived and watched the battle . Vector summoned the souls of Girag , Dumon , Alito and Marin and fully absorbed their powers , giving himself a tremendous boost in strength . After Nash managed to take control of " " from Vector and boost its ATK to 3200 , he used it to destroy Vector ' s " " . As a result of Vector ' s Mythyrian " Number " clashing with his " Number 10X " Vector ' s real memories were revealed ; he was originally a kind prince , but was corrupted by Don Thousand . Yuma and Tori encouraged Vector to realize that his real self was kind just like " Ray Shadows " . Vector feigned repentance and gave Nash an opportunity to defeat him . Nash relented and attacked , but Vector attempted to have Nash defeated although he failed and revealed his actions were a ruse and that he was aware that Don Thousand had tampered with his memories . Having enough of Don Thousand calling him a " pesky God " he used his new - found powers and incinerated Don Thousand , seemingly killing him . Vector then Summoned " " which he can Summon after absorbing the souls of his fellow Emperors and almost defeated Nash with it , but he Summoned " " and defeated Vector . Even after losing the Duel , Vector tried using his newfound powers to destroy everything . However , his plan was interrupted by Don Thousand , who was revealed to be still alive . Thousand revealed he was free from Vector now and that the powers Vector believed to be his , are in fact from Thousand himself and attempted to absorb Vector . Vector tried to resist but was timely saved by Yuma , who grabbed his hand . Astral , Tori and even Nash warned Yuma to stop , with the latter adding that Vector will just betray Yuma again , but Yuma decided to trust Vector . Vector feigned his Ray Shadows persona again and attempted to drag Yuma with him , but Yuma did not relent and believed Vector can return to his " Ray Shadows " identity . Realizing the trust Yuma put on him , Vector sacrificed himself to save Yuma and was absorbed by Thousand . Mizar emerged and gave Yuma " " while telling Nash that the Barian Emperors were created by Don Thousand to complete his agenda and decided to face the Barian God , who revealed his true form . Mizar attempted a One Turn Kill on Thousand , but Mizar was quickly defeated by his own card and was absorbed by Thousand . Nash then cooperated with Yuma to defeat Don Thousand , but he revealed his control over the Numeron Code through the Field Spell " Numeron Network " , which allowed him to alter his opponent ' s plays . Don Thousand Summoned the first four " Numbers " , " , " " , " " and " " which , powered by " Numeron Network " , almost defeated the duo with a One Turn Kill . When this failed , Thousand Summoned " " in another attempt to inflict 50 , 000 damage . However Astral arrived where the real form of Numeron Network resided and attempted to materialize it for Nash to destroy it , but at the expense of Astral ' s life , as the energy of the Numeron Code would implode on him , however Eliphas took Astral ' s place and gave him a card before perishing . After Nash managed to destroy " Numeron Network " , Thousand Summoned " " , which robbed the duo of their most powerful monsters . However the arrival of Kite ' s spirit allowed them to use " Numeron Dragon " , which they used to defeat " Numeronius " . Finally , Thousand Summoned " " which almost guaranteed his victory , but a combination of " Utopia " powered by the effects of " Abyss Splash " and " Numeron Dragon " , allowed the monster to acquire 204 , 000 ATK points to defeat Thousand for good . Before vanishing , Don Thousand claimed that his curse had not been lifted and warns Yuma that Shark ( Nash ) will never reunite them again , and he took his " Numbers " and re - challenged Yuma to another rival Duel . Nash explained that Barian World and Astral World were about to collide and that Astral World in its current state was too weak to live by itself , and that he cannot allow the loss of Barian World . He claimed that out of all the Emperors , he chose to be a Barian of his own free will and that his very existence was the curse of Thousand , as he refuted Yuma ' s claims that cooperation between the two worlds was possible . Using the power of Thousand , Nash was able to Summon all the " Number C10X " monsters on each side of the field . Eventually after an exhausting Duel , with Yuma gaining a new " Utopia " evolution , Yuma won and Shark ( Nash ) died , eliminating the last of the Seven Barian Emperors . After Yuma and Astral ' s final Duel , the group , among others , was revived by Astral using the Numeron Code and returned back into their true selves . Rio and Shark returned as students of Heartland Academy , with Rio becoming a member of the disciplinary committee . She scolded Yuma for being late for class . Mizar , Girag , Alito and Dumon enrolled into Heartland Academy as well . While Vector himself was not seen attending the school , he became an ally and friend to Yuma once more , aiding him in his new quest to protect Astral World alongside the others .
