Don Thousand Don Thousand ( ドン ・ サウザンド , " Don Sauzando " ) is the god of Barian World and the central antagonist of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime due to his undertaking to destroy Astral World because of his banishment for hosting the power of Chaos . He is also the progenitor of the Seven Barian Emperors , corrupting their memories so they could become Barians to serve as his instruments for his agenda to conquer and subjugate the universe . Design . Appearance . Don Thousand has a similar appearance to Mr . Heartland ' s Barian form ; a demonic form with luminous inflamed eyes , shady red skin and dim wings that appears to be a black carapace . He also has a large , luminous red eye at the center of his abdomen . He has a stylized version of the Barian Emblem on his chest . The spike of the carapace on his forehead form a structure that appears to be a black type of the Emperor ' s Key . His wings are also covered with red diamonds , similar to Vector and the Chaos - empowered Number 96 . He is also the largest of the Barian s , being the size of a giant . Don Thousand ' s true form is that of a former denizen from Astral World ; with luminous gold hair with two long red bangs in front . His appearance is similar to Eliphas . His skin tone is black with red outlined onyx colored armor with his emblem embedded at the center . His heterochromic eyes are blue and red , with the addition of a third eye placed vertically on his forehead . He also wears a set of earrings on his pointed ears . Like Vector and Eliphas , he also has an energy form resembling his true form , with both his body and hair color - swapped and vice versa . Personality . Don Thousand ' s personality is complicated and dynamic , as he lacks the usual insanity or pride associated with " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " antagonists . He is characteristically malevolent and vengeful , dedicated to spreading Chaos , destroying Astral World and ensuring the universe is his new dominion no matter the cost . He is shown to be a very direct individual , always going straight to the point and does not usually stray from the subject at hand . He is also highly perceptive during his brief conversation with Vector , aware of his loathing towards Astral ( though he was unaware of Yuma ) and his culpability in Marin and Nash ' s disappearance . He has a commanding presence , and is not above threatening Vector , though he does not show any degree of sadism in doing so , and it appears to be more out of concern for his own agenda . He can be cryptic at times and is not above withholding information when questioned until a later time . Upon his return to his chrysalis energy form , Thousand ' s disposition becomes haughty and confident , casually passing his first turn in his Duel against Mizar . This is due to his confidence in his absolute power due to obtaining supremacy through stealing the power of the Numeron Code by fusing the Human World and Barian World . Etymology . Don can translate to either the honorific " sir " or " talent " in Spanish . Accordingly , " Don Thousand " might mean " Sir Thousand " ( reflecting his high status ) or " Thousand Talents " ( reflecting his power and abilities ) . His name is also an imperfect palindrome in Katakana . Abilities . As the deity of the Barian World , Don Thousand possesses great power , even in his weakened state . He can possess Barian s , grant them new abilities , and even restore them should they be injured , as seen when he did all of these things with Vector . When this happens , his Emblem appears . He is also capable of injuring his host as he demonstrated by grabbing Vector ' s heart when he argued with Number 96 . He also has knowledge of Earth , insinuating that he knows where the locations of where the Mythyrian " Numbers " are , but he did not reveal those locations , much to Vector ' s annoyance . His powers can awaken other Barians , but those who fall under his influence in the process , develop a darker and more malicious disposition , until they are reduced to mere puppets of his power . According to Don Thousand , both he and Vector are one in body and soul , this prevents the two from truly separating from each other and Vector cannot move far without Don Thousand , though there was one case where he can leave Vector ' s body temporarily , as seen when he appeared before Alito and Girag . He is also the only known being capable of creating fake " Number " cards . He also possesses great physical strength , as he was able to lift both Alito and Girag without struggling . Each person who has been influenced by him contains a portion of his malice , meaning he can be in multiple locations at once , similar to the Horcruxes of the Harry Potter franchise . Even when he was sealed he was capable of appearing in either a ghostly reaper - like form ( such as when he appeared to Alito ' s , Girag ' s , Vector ' s , Dumon ' s and Marin ' s past lives ) or in a shaman form ( such as when he appeared to Mizar ' s past life ) on Earth , and in these forms he was capable of brainwashing humans as he did to Alito ' s friend , the prince , his advisers and Girag ' s comrades as well as Mizar ' s neighbors and allegedly used this form to cause the tragic deaths of all the Seven Emperors and embed their souls with the " Over - Hundred Numbers " . Don Thousand can absorb people into him through the item on his body , as seen when he did so to Vector . He can also fire pulse waves , which can knock the person down . By having Barian World fuse with Earth , Don Thousand became able to draw upon the power of the Numeron Code itself , despite not knowing its location . With it , he is capable of destroying Astral World . Biography . History . Don Thousand once resided in Astral World , but was exiled when the realm decided to abandon the power of Chaos . In an attempt to claim the Numeron Code , Don Thousand battled Astral on an volatile Earth , who ended the battle when Astral performing a Shining Draw , which seemingly destroyed much of Astral World in the process . This resulted in fragments of Astral ' s power being scattered across the Human World to mark the location of the Code . They manifested in the form of the first fifty " Number s " , among them the seven Mythyrian " Numbers " and the four " Numeron Gate " monsters . < nowiki > < / nowiki > During this battle , the Barian deity embedded in Astral a shard of his essence , which eventually became Number 96 . Don Thousand ' s soul became sealed beneath the sea of Barian World , the dimension that formed when Chaos was cast out . Seven Mythyrian " Numbers " attached themselves to legends on Earth and sealed Thousand ' s power . Although sealed away , a weakened Thousand machinated history against each of these legendary heroes and sages , corrupting their original memories with his Over - Hundred Numbers into becoming the Seven Barian Emperors upon death . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL II . Mythyrian Numbers War . After being defeated by Yuma Tsukumo and Astral several times , Vector journeyed to the Great Barian Sea . Swimming through it , he found the place where Don Thousand was sealed and released him . He offered Don Thousand his life in exchange for the power to defeat Yuma and Astral . Thousand told him to journey to Earth and find the seven sealed Mythyrian " Number " , which would fully revive Don Thousand . Vector agreed and Thousand merged with him , empowering Vector with new abilities and restoring his injured body . Using Thousand ' s powers , Vector accelerated the healing of Girag and Alito . As Vector made his way to one of the ruins , Don Thousand told Vector that the ruins are in his memories , insinuating that he had been to the ruins before , but refused to tell Vector more than that . He was amused at Vector ' s deja vu and laughed at his confusion , though he denied Vector the answer to his confusion and ordered him to make use of his alliance with Number 96 . When Number 96 and Vector argued with each other , Thousand squeezed the latter ' s heart to stop him . After Number 96 and Vector parted ways , he told the latter to let him go and informed him that Alito and Girag should be revived by now . Thousand later informed Vector that the " Mythyrian Numbers " had fallen into the hands of Yuma ' s allies . He claimed it wouldn ' t be a problem though . Vector asked how much Thousand really knows and Thousand responded " everything " , including what Vector felt when he entered the ruins . He confirmed that Vector was once human , then became a Barian and claimed that he was also responsible for the deaths of Nash and Marin . He then ordered Vector to find Number 96 , as the latter was about to put his own plan into effect . They observed Yuma and Astral ' s Duel with the rebellious " Number " from afar , not being seen by anyone during the Duel and the following events . Thousand proceeded to lead Vector to his palace , to which Number 96 had returned to in a ball of light after its defeat . As a fragment of Thousand ' s power , Number 96 ' s " Number " cards were passed to Vector . Vector wished to use his new power to crush Yuma and Astral , but Thousand insisted it was not yet time . He revealed a device that would combine Barian World and the Earth together . If the hatred of the Human World reached that of Barian World , they could be fused , amplifying his power one - thousand fold - enough to destroy Astral World . To do so , he needed to make more of those devices , which was where the power he regained from Number 96 would go . He revealed four fake " Numbers " , each possessing great power to Vector and instructed him to sit on the throne . When Vector did , Thousand fused Vector to it , rendering him immobile as the two needed to stay in the palace in order to put the power to work by building more devices . Despite losing three of the " Number " cards he and Vector gave to the Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World , Thousand was not concerned , as the rest of the fake " Numbers " were complete . Thousand told Vector that it is time to begin his machination to seize Earth . As the worlds began to merge , the Barian Emperors gathered in the Barian World with Rio and Reginald having become Nash and Marin , Vector worried if Nash would remember what he did to them before but Don Thousand assured Vector to not panic , as Nash was not " thirsting for blood " . Dumon questioned Vector if he knew anything about the world merging , and Vector feigned ignorance , deciding instead to pass the blame onto Mr . Heartland . However , Vector told them that it would be the perfect opportunity and that they should invade the Human World . Barian Emperor Onslaught . During the Duel between Nash and Quattro , Don Thousand and Vector watched as he gauged Nash ' s power and was surprised when Nash performed a Chaos Draw and gifted that ability to the other Emperors . Thousand later manifested himself outside of Vector ' s body in order to brainwash Alito and Girag into assisting him and Vector . The portion of his soul that remained in Alito was able to manifest itself and speak to Yuma and Astral when Alito confronted them . He explained he had been exiled from Astral World , but claimed it was a good thing , as Chaos was too restricted within its confines . He told Yuma to blame Astral if he had to blame anyone , and revealed that the acquisition of the seven Mythyrian " Numbers " from the ruins had restored the majority of his power . He also explained that he had reincarnated seven humans as the Seven Barian Emperors as they were connected to the Mythyrian " Numbers " . He urged Yuma and Astral to attempt to stop him if they could . Thousand ' s influence was later exorcised from Alito ' s body after a battle between Alito ' s " " and Yuma ' s " " - the latter card being the Mythrian " Number " that Alito had owned in his past life . Later on , Thousand confined Nash in an inflamed Sphere Field , restraining him with dark tentacles . He opened a screen before Nash to allow him to witness his sister and Dumon Dueling Vector and Thousand himself , whose power resided in Vector ' s body . Thousand revealed that he had created the Seven Barian Emperors for his own agenda . When the Duel started , Vector activated the Spell Card , " Don Thousand ' s Throne " which was given to him by Thousand that drew power from Nash , causing him great pain whenever " Don Thousand ' s Throne " increased Vector ' s Life Points . At one point in the Duel , Don Thousand stopped Vector before he made his next move , narrowly saving Vector from defeat in the process . After the Duel , Don Thousand once again appeared to Vector and told him about Girag ' s memories being restored . This prompted Vector to absorb Girag , with Alito ' s and Ponta ' s souls also being absorbed in the process ( Alito had previously lost a Duel to Girag ) . In order to create a venue for Nash and Vector ' s struggle , Vector transported the ruins of their previous confrontation to Barian World , and prevented Don Thousand from influencing the battle by restraining him . After Vector ' s true memories were revealed , Thousand was summoned and began explaining his part in changing Vector ' s past memories , causing Vector to attempt to lose the Duel . When that was revealed to be a ruse to lower Nash ' s guard , Vector confronted Thousand and revealed his suspicions about the Barian deity ' s former actions , which greatly upset him . Declaring himself to be more powerful than him , Vector proceeded to burn Don Thousand to ash . Upon Vector ' s defeat , Thousand returned , having been separated from him after the Duel . He called Vector a fool and then proceeded to absorb him , despite Yuma ' s efforts to rescue Vector . After this , Thousand began to transform , merging with the newly created " Numeron Network " composed of the Human World and Barian World in the form of an enormous purple lotus . Mizar then showed up and Dueled Don Thousand , who emerged in his energy form . However , Mizar ( seemingly ) defeated himself using " Dragon King ' s Demise " without Don Thousand having to play a single card , and was absorbed . With this , Don Thousand made his final transformation into his true form . After defeating Mizar , Thousand revealed his true plan : Since he did not know where the Numeron Code was , except that it was on Earth , he fused Barian World and the Human World together to control the Numeron Code . Thousand challenged Yuma and Nash to a Duel , with the Numeron Code allowing Thousand to open a portal to Astral World and directly attack it when Yuma and Nash took damage . During the Duel , it was revealed that Thousand had used the " Numeron Network " as a Field Spell Card to " manipulate " Mizar ' s cards in the previous Duel , and demonstrated this power again by effortlessly countering the Summon of " " and replacing it with " Ganbara Knight . Eventually , after " Numeron Network " was destroyed by the efforts of Astral and Eliphas , Thousand Summoned his ultimate ace monster , " " . However , despite putting Yuma and Nash into a corner , he was ultimately defeated by the combined might of " " , " Utopia " and " " , united by " Utopia Rising " . Shortly before his destruction , Thousand transferred his " Numbers " and remaining power to Nash before laughing and fading away . Number Hunting . Thousand manufactured fake versions of the first four " Number s " , which he had Vector distribute to the Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World . These were " " , " " , " " and " " . Thousand owns the true versions of each of these " Numbers " , coming in the forms of the " Numeron Gate " monsters - " " , " " , " " and " " . These were the first " Numbers " to fall to Earth during his engagement against Astral and were among those that designated the location of the Numeron Code . He was also able to upgrade " Ekam " into " " . His ultimate monster is " " , which had no shown base form , and he is capable of upgrading it into the " Imaginary Number " known as " " . After Vector ' s defeat , Thousand absorbed him , resulting in him obtaining the multitude of " Numbers " that Vector owned . Among them were " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " , " " and " " . His victory over Mizar likewise earned him the " Numbers " that Mizar had collected , among them " " , " " , " " , " " , " " and " " . With those " Numbers " also came the " Number C " forms of many of them , including those of the " Over - Hundred Numbers " . Upon his defeat by Yuma and Nash , all of his " Numbers " were absorbed by Nash . Deck . Don Thousand uses a " Numeron " Deck , initially focused on utilizing the " Numeron Network " to activate Trap Card s from his Deck , letting him manipulate his opponent ' s strategies . The Deck includes the " Numeron Gate " monsters , which were the first " Number s " to fall to Earth during his battle against the Original Number . The final play of the Deck comes in the form of " " and its upgraded form , " " . The effects of the former can control nearly the entire Duel , while the effects of the latter can grant an Automatic Win .
