He is an Emperor from the Barian World , working to gather the " Numbers " to prevent his world ' s destruction . Contrary to his mission , Alito became a friendly rival of Yuma Tsukumo ' s at one point . After being injured by Ray Shadows , he was left to recover in a Baria Crystal . After being revived by the power of Don Thousand , Alito ' s personality became dark and he forgot his friendship with Yuma . Later , he became a puppet of Vector and Don Thousand after the latter brainwashed him . Alito was then rescued by Yuma and cooperated with him for a short time before sacrificing himself to restore Girag ' s memories . His soul was later taken by Vector . He is revived by the Numeron Code after Yuma and Astral ' s final Duel . Design . Appearance . While he was in the Barian World , Alito wore dark red robes with a hood over his head and had eyes that glowed with a orange light . Alito is also one of the shorter Barians , being tied with Dumon for the shortest . In his true form , Alito is a red - skinned Barian with three blade - like horns that protrude from the sides of his head and a decidedly alien - looking mask - like face . He wears a short crimson vest decorated with three yellow gems with a high collar on . Like Dumon , he also has a large Barian Emblem with an orange outline on the right side of his chest . He keeps his Baria Crystal on his left wrist . While in human form , Alito takes the shape of a young , dark skinned teenager with green eyes and three different - styled gold rings on his right hand . His hair is similar to Reginald Kastle , resembling tentacles , but is brown , shorter and his bangs cover his right eye . He appears disguised as a first - year student in Heartland Academy , thus wearing the standard red - lined uniform , blue pants and brown shoes . Despite his small size and lean frame in human form , Alito is also fairly muscular and well - built . After he was brought out of stasis , Alito abandoned his Heartland school uniform in favor of a red long sleeved shirt with a high upturned collar , white pants with matching white shoes , and added a golden , rectangle necklace to his accessories . When Alito first arrived at Spartan City , he wore a black cloak over his new attire . Upon being revived after Yuma ' s and Astral ' s Duel , Alito was seen wearing his Heartland Academy school uniform again . During his previous life as a human , Alito wore a golden necklace and red warrior armor that covered his midriff , left shoulder and chest . Personality . While Mizar described Alito as a " simpleton " , Alito was shown to be the most childish among them , complaining that he didn ' t want to go to the human world as he couldn ' t " Duel seriously " and didn ' t want to do a " boring job " , but complied once Dumon intimidated him . Alito also appeared to be the most friendly among the Barian s , developing a close friendly rivalry with Yuma Tsukumo due to his Dueling passion and spirit , despite his goals to collect the " Numbers " and defeat him . Aside from being an energy being , Alito is shown to act very human and normal ; he enjoyed Dueling and developed crushes on others as a regular human boy would . Yuma also commented that he likes Alito even though he is a Barian since they bonded over their Duels . Contrary to the other Barians , who take their mission as priority , sometimes regardless of the methods employed , Alito prefers to Duel and nothing excites him more than a Duel that he can play seriously . Alito has also demonstrated that he learns from his past Duels , as after his first defeat against Yuma , he came prepared with new cards that gave him an advantage on a similar situation in which he would have lost . Alito is shown to be the most honorable among the Barians , preferring to Duel fairly and head - on without resorting to any underhanded tactics to gain the advantage . He also has good sportsmanship , praising Yuma ' s Dueling skills and graciously telling Astral to take his " Number " and soul after losing the Duel , though it did not work . Referencing his Deck , Alito frequently makes puns on boxing , as evidenced during his attempts to woo Tori Meadows by using words like " punch " and " counter " many times . After awakening from his slumber by Don Thousand ' s powers , Alito ' s personality changed , being more aggressive and rude to Dumon and Mizar . Along with his darker persona , Alito also showed no recollection of his friendship with Yuma and was obsessed with defeating him . He was willing to use dirty tricks to defeat his opponents , such as forcing Nistro to use " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " . He reverts back to his normal self after losing to Yuma and Astral again in their fourth duel together . Abilities . Like other residents of the Barian World , Alito is capable of teleportation . He also seems to be an expert boxer , and managed to counter a punch thrown by Girag , even though Girag was much bigger than him . After his revival , he displayed an additional number of abilities , such as being capable of compelling people into giving him information through eye contact and causing card effect s to become real , shown by using multiple copies of " Blast with Chain " to drain the lake to access the ruins ' " Number " . Like Girag and Vector , can use " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " to brainwash others . He could still materialize his D - Pad at will even after Don Thousand ' s curse was lifted on him . Etymology . Alito ' s name is derived from , also known as Alioth , a star located in the asterism . Biography . History . Years ago , Alito was a human who lived in a land that would later be known as Spartan City . He was the greatest gladiator to have existed , who battled using only his bare fists , and won every battle he fought . Alito was a hero to many of the children of his time and they often cheered for him during his matches . Alito was also the friend and rival of the prince of the land , whom he battled with many times . During their final battle , Alito was framed by the people close to the prince , who saw the gladiator ' s possible victory unacceptable . Alito was placed under false charges , and despite his pleas of innocence and the prince defending him , he was executed ( in the dub , Alito was banished as his punishment ) . This came about because Don Thousand possessed the prince , who ordered Alito ' s execution . Thousand appeared to Alito and buried " " into Alito ' s chest . This was done in order to fill his heart with hatred and send him to the Barian World instead of the Astral World . An unknown number of years later , Don Thousand reincarnated him as one of the Seven Barian Emperors , as his soul was one that was connected to a Mythyrian " Number " card , which had sealed Thousand ' s power . Alito had no memory of his previous life , due to the " Over - Hundred Number " that he received from Don Thousand . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL II . Barian Invasion . While discussing Vetrix ' s , Dr . Faker ' s and Vector ' s defeat at the hands of Yuma Tsukumo and Astral , with Dumon , Mizar and Girag , Alito told Dumon he did not want to waste his time like Vector did and left the room . Afterwards , Dumon sent Girag to Earth to acquire Yuma ' s " Number " cards . After Girag ' s efforts prove futile , Dumon ordered Alito to go to Earth next to gather the " Numbers " , who refused because of the limitations he must endure in human form , but agreed after Dumon intimidated him . He appeared at Heartland Academy and met up with Girag in a storage closet , when the latter was watching a singer on TV , Scarlett Starling . At first , Girag didn ' t recognize him and Alito failed to realize how much different his human form looked until he looked in a mirror . When Girag tried to punch him , Alito avoided his punch and performed his " Cross - Counter " , making Girag recognize him . They proceeded to eat , and Alito chastised Girag for continually failing and looking at cute girls , proclaiming he ' s only interested in Dueling and won ' t be distracted by girls . Afterwards , Alito thought about how he can ' t recover " Numbers " in his current form and bumped into Tori Meadows , and instantly became infatuated with her , even seeing her in his mind as an angel . He offered her many gifts to gain her affections , but Yuma constantly got in his way , albeit accidentally . At the BARian , Alito complained to Girag about his troubles , but perked up after he suggested he defeat Yuma in a Duel to prove himself . Placing a note on Yuma ' s seat , he challenged Yuma to a Duel on the school ' s roof . As the Duel began , Alito quickly brought out " Battlin ' Boxer Lead Yoke " to replace his current form ' s inability to use " CXyz " monsters . When Astral came out beside Yuma , Alito could see him and it was only then that he realized that the person he was Dueling was Yuma . Alito used his " Counter Strategies " to gain an advantage over Yuma , but lost once Yuma was able to use " Xyz Strike " . After losing to Yuma , he found Yuma " interesting " and saw Yuma as an angel in his mind instead of Tori , losing his infatuation with her . Alito declared Yuma as his rival , becoming friends with him and playfully fist bumping one another . One night , Alito was doing push - ups in their hideout and asked Girag about his latest plan to take the " Numbers " from Yuma and Shark . He then specified he didn ' t care about the details and told Girag he would be the one to defeat Yuma . One day , he and Girag are doing extensive training in the woods when they witness a Barian energy ball descending from the sky , with Alito correctly deducing Mizar ' s arrival . Dumon sent Mizar with a Barian Sphere Cube for each of them , making Alito believe he could finally use his full power to defeat Yuma . Alito asks what Mizar would do next , but he departed without answering , annoying Alito . Later , Alito and Girag discussed how Mizar ' s presence meant they could not afford to fail anymore . Girag asked Alito if he planned to do something , to which he said he wanted to defeat Yuma and Astral in a fair fight . Girag didn ' t agree with it since he would risk losing , but Alito didn ' t mind since a Duel against Yuma was a passionate Duel between two Duelists . The two quarreled a bit before Alito left their hideout and looked out the sky with an eager smile , muttering Yuma ' s name . Girag then launched a plan pitting Yuma against a horde of brainwashed students , but just when Girag was about to finish Yuma off , Alito intervened , using " Lightning Clinch " and " Brain Reboot " to defeat all the remaining opponents . Girag was enraged by Alito ' s betrayal because for the sake of the Barian World , they had to collect the Numbers . Alito told him that he wanted to Duel against Yuma fairly as an honorable Duelist despite the risk of loss . Since to him , everything was about Dueling , he wanted the strongest Duelist in the strongest Duel to have the " Numbers " ; even though he was a Barian , he was a Duelist before that . After revealing his true nature as a Barian , Alito began his Duel with Yuma , with the former deploying his Barian Sphere Cube . The two battled as they had last time , with counter after counter , which excited Alito as he had fun Dueling Yuma . As the Duel continued , Alito managed to Xyz Summon his own " Number " , " " . Yuma and Astral then united with the power of ZEXAL and Xyz Summoned " " , forcing it to tie in battle with Alito ' s " Number " , destroying both of them . Both players revived their ace cards with " Xyz Stand " . Happy that Yuma and Astral were going all out , Alito then shed his human disguise , revealing his true form to them . Then , with the effect of " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " he Summoned " " , which pushed Yuma into an even tighter corner . However , thanks to ZEXAL and " ZW - Eagle Claw " , Yuma was able to defeat Alito . After the Duel , Alito expressed his satisfaction with the fun Duel he had with Yuma , who said that they can have another Duel again sometime soon . However , Alito sadly shook his head and told Astral that he can take his " Number " and his soul . When Astral tried and failed , Alito was surprised to find that he couldn ' t , and then bid farewell to Yuma . Using a portal , Alito went back to his hideout to look for Girag ( and was taken to an unknown location in the dub ) , but was viciously attacked by Ray Shadows ( who was really Vector in disguise ) . When Girag found him and asked Alito who attacked him , he only muttered the name " Ray " before falling unconscious . He was later taken back to the Barian World to recover by Mizar and put into stasis inside a Baria Crystal to heal , watched over by Dumon and Mizar when Vector appeared and derided Girag and Alito , Mizar angrily attempted to attack him before being restrained by Dumon . Mythyrian Numbers War . After Vector released Don Thousand and told Dumon and Mizar about the seven Mythyrian " Numbers " , both left for Earth . After that , Vector saw that Girag and Alito hadn ' t recovered yet , and used some of Don Thousand ' s powers to accelerate the healing process . He realized it would still take more time and left for Earth as well . While their comrades were collecting the " Numbers " , Alito and Girag eventually awakened from their stasis . Alito , Girag , and Vector waited for Dumon and Mizar to return , surprising them with their resurrection . Alito ' s new , arrogant attitude started an argument between them and their comrades , but it was cut off when Mr . Heartland interrupted them . Heartland told the group of the new " Number " location and that Yuma might be aiming for it as well . Alito hardened once he heard Yuma ' s name , quickly volunteering to take the mission and left through a portal , proclaiming he will crush Yuma no matter what . In Spartan City ' s streets , he spotted some kids watching the Pro Duelist Spartancity Tournament and noticed Nistro on the screen . Alito went to a bar and brainwashed the bartender to tell him about the whereabouts of a ruin in the city . That night , Alito arrived at the lake and threw many copies of " Blast with Chain " into the lake , draining it with explosions and revealing the sunken coliseum . He explored the ruins and felt a strange presence within them when he found the " Number " . Although the " Number " resisted him , Alito went for a punch and clashed with the Number Guardian . The spirit told Alito that " Those without a burning fighting spirit can not possibly inherit my spirit " and asked him if he had spirit that yearned to fight . Alito said that he did , his burning passion to beat Yuma in a fight , which seems to make the guardian recognize Alito . He obtained the " " card and sensed that there was a huge risk to a Duelist that used it . When Nistro appeared behind him , Alito remembered him as the Pro Duelist who won the tournament earlier just as Yuma showed up . While Yuma was happy to see him , Alito wanted to Duel Yuma and decided to give Nistro the " Number " card , then brainwashed him using " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " . Alito offered a Tag Duel between him and Nistro against Yuma and Dextra to get Nistro back , which they accepted . After Nistro used the kamikaze - like effect of " Lion Heart " , reducing both Nistro and Yuma to 1600 Life Points , Alito laughed maliciously and boasted that Nistro will take the risk of " Lion Heart " to defeat Yuma . Alito continued to repeatedly force the effect of " Lion Heart " to activate in hopes of taking out Yuma , but failed due to Dextra ' s Trap Card s . He ridiculed Dextra ' s attempt to get through to Nistro and used the other effect of " Lion Heart " to restore Nistro ' s Life Points so he could continue to take the risks of using " Lion Heart " . When Nistro was able to regain some of his consciousness after Dextra was defeated , Alito tried to force him to use " Barian ' s Force " with his " Battlin ' Boxer Cheat Commissioner " , but Yuma countered the effect with " Overlay Marker " to inflict 6700 damage to Alito . As he was defeated , Alito experienced flashbacks of his past memories as a human gladiator . Confused and greatly shocked by these images , Alito loudly wondered what the memories meant and teleported away . Later , Alito was called to an emergency meeting between the Seven Barian Emperors . There , he witnessed Vector discover that Nash and Marin were still alive . Nash granted each of the Barian Emperors new powers , then consented to Vector ' s plan of attacking Earth now . Barian Emperor Onslaught . After Mr . Heartland was defeated , the Seven Barian Emperors arrived together on Earth in front of Yuma and commenced Barian Battlemorph . When Yuma was rendered unable to Duel when the Emperor ' s Key reacted with Nash ' s Barian Emblem , Roku and Kaze arrived and pelted the Emperors with smoke bombs , allowing Yuma ' s group to escape . The Emperors gave chase , Alito arrived near a baseball field and was confronted by Nistro , who was there to block his path . The two initiated a Duel , with Alito being surprised at Nistro ' s ability and that he was having trouble against a human . Eventually , he commenced a Chaos Draw alongside the other Emperors . This allowed him to use " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " to bring out " " , while telling Nistro that his fists of malice would burn him to cinders . This card defeated Nistro and his soul was sent to the Barian World afterwards . After Nash ' s victory over Quattro , the Emperors regrouped and Nash ordered them to split up and pursue the remaining " Number " holders - Yuma , Astral , Kite , Trey and Quinton . Vector called Alito and Girag to a meeting , where he ordered Girag to lure Nash back to the Barian World and Alito to pursue Yuma , knowing he could not avoid to fight both Nash and Yuma . The two questioned why they should listen to Vector , he responded by asking who they thought woke them from their " nap " earlier and called on Don Thousand , who appeared and grabbed both Girag and Alito by the necks . Alito called him a fool for unleashing Thousand , but Thousand exerted his influence on them both , effectively turning them into Vector ' s puppets . Following his orders to stop Yuma , he used " Comet Cestus " to attack the Different Dimension Airship as it was en route to the Barian World , knocking Yuma , Astral and Tori off of it . He challenged Yuma to a Duel to settle their score , but the latter refused to fight him and compared Alito to Nistro as they were both hot - blooded Duelists who shouldered the hopes of children . When Astral mentioned his ruins , Alito remember his days a gladiator and was idolized by children . However , Don Thousand told him not to listen to the duo and reminded him that his past ended in tragedy . Alito then turned into his Barian form and trapped Tori in thorny vines to coerce Yuma to Duel him . Yuma Summoned " " on his first turn , but Alito used " The Seventh One " and reduced Yuma to 200 Life Points in one card through the effect and attack of " Comet Cestus " , with Yuma surviving through " Gagaga Gardna " . Hoping to remind Alito of their friendship , Yuma attempted to reach Alito ' s true self with " Heroic Champion - Excalibur " , but that failed and enabled Alito to Summon " " to aide " Comet Cestus " . Upon Yuma Summoning " " , Alito started to struggle and their cards began to resonate with each other , showing him memories of his past . Alito released Tori , but continued the Duel with Yuma out of anger of his terrible past . After " Lion Heart " clashed with Alito ' s " Comet Cestus " , Alito regained his true memories and was freed just as he lost and reverted back to his human form . He thanked Yuma for saving him , but still said they are enemies . However , Alito agreed to work together with Yuma in stopping Don Thousand . Alito traveled towards the Barian World with Yuma , Astral and Tori and informed them they were getting close . Eventually , they are confronted by the brainwashed Girag , who attacked the ship with his " " . Alito and the others attempted to reason with Girag , but they could not get through Thousand ' s control . Yuma moved to Duel him instead , but Alito offered to do so instead as Girag ' s best friend , although he remarked that he could no longer use " Number 105 " as he had lost his powers as a Barian . Yuma gave him " " to help break the control . Girag attempted a One Turn Kill just as Alito had against Yuma . Combining " " with " " , Girag reduced Alito to 200 Life Points , with Alito only barely hanging on with " Hyper Burning " . Afterwards , Alito used an unnamed Spell to turn his " Battlin ' Boxer Big Bandage s " into Beast - Type and then used them to Xyz Summon " Sandayu " . After this , Ponta appeared to Alito and together they agreed to restore Girag ' s original memories . He then used " Last Counter " to enable " Sandayu " to attack " Giant Red Hand " . After Girag was purged of Don Thousand ' s influence , he revealed that " Last Counter " would deal him damage equal to the target ' s original ATK . As his Life Points dropped to zero , he told Girag he was the best friend he could have asked for . Alito told Yuma it was pleasure to had met him and urged him to defeat Don Thousand . With his injuries were too great , his soul was absorbed by Girag as a result . Shortly after , Vector appeared and absorbed both of their souls , along with Ponta ' s . Alito ' s soul appeared with Dumon ' s , Girag ' s and Marin ' s when Vector full absorbed their powers during his Duel against Nash . During Nash ' s Duel with Yuma , Alito ' s soul appeared to support Nash alongside those of the other Emperors after Nash overlaid their " Chaos Over - Hundred Numbers " to create " CXyz Barian Hope " . Alito was eventually revived by Astral with the power of the Numeron Code along with the others that lost their lives in the Interdimensional War ' s last moments . He officially enrolled in Heartland Academy as a first - year student . He then joined Yuma on his voyage to the Astral World to come to Astral ' s aid . Deck . Alito uses a " Battlin ' Boxer " Deck , utilizing various cards to swarm the field such as " Battlin ' Boxer Sparrer " and " Ring Announcer " for Xyz Summon s and others to negate Trap Card s such as " Counter Clash " and " Fancy Footwork " . He also uses several cards devoted to detach ing Overlay Unit s such as " Overlay Flash " and " Xyz Block " , primarily to power up his " Battlin ' Boxer Lead Yoke " . During his Tag - Team Duel with Nistro , he focuses on a more defensive approach , while letting Nistro take the risks of using " " . Here , he uses Level 3 " Battlin ' Boxer " monsters named after illegal boxing maneuvers , while his " Battlin ' Boxer Cheat Commissioner " Xyz Monster is based on corrupt boxing manager , reflecting how he used Nistro . Alito later gains the ability to perform a Chaos Draw , giving him access to " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " , allowing him to easily Special Summon his " " , which he later augments with " " and " " .
