**Don Thousand** is the main antagonist of *Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL*. He is a Barian deity of great power, who orchestrated the whole conflict driving the series, serving as the unseen overarching antagonist of the first half of the series, and the main antagonist of the second half. He is Astral's archenemy.

He was voiced by Haruhiko Jo in Barian form and Mitsuru Miyamoto in true from in the Japanese version, and by David Wills in the English dubbed version.

## What Makes Him Pure Evil?

* He clashed with the envoy of the Astral world, Astral himself, eons ago, in a battle that raged on and caused terrible destruction to even Planet Earth. One last move from Astral ended their battle and obliterated the two of them into energy forms, which were able to witness the Numeron Code, the source of all the universe's existence. The explosion also shattered part of Astral's memories, turning them into 50 Number cards that fell on Earth, and enabled Thousand to infect the envoy with a shard of his own malice, which will later become Number 96 Dark Mist.
* He made it very clear for Vector that he was the one giving the orders, being able to stop his heart if the Barian Emperor disobeys, though he did so not out of sadism, but to carry on his plans smoothly. Vector used his new powers to accelerate the healing process of Girag and Alito, while also embedding them with much more sinister personalities, courtesy of Don Thousand, but was left in the dark over many things only Don Thousand knew about, including on the true purpose of the Mythirian Numbers, which the Deity told him they need to gather, letting him convince the other emperors to help them with this task.
* Unbeknownst to everyone else, the simple act of removing said Numbers from their location would restore Thousand's powers, something the protagonists achieved oblivious of the true consequences this would have. The Barian God also rescued Mr. Heartland and converted him into his servant, gifting him with a Fake Number to destroy Yuma Tsukumo.
* He was also aware of Vector's personal agenda, and seemingly cooperated with him, while also building Dimension-fusing machines without the other emperors being aware.
* Due to his actions, the heroes discovered that the emperors, who were once great human heroes and sages, retained false memories of what led to their demise, filling the hearts with hatred and resentment, something Don Thousand manipulated from the start to cause them to ascend to Barian World instead of Astral World (which was filled with "pure and noble" humans), to claim the tremendous power of these beings as his own.
* Unfortunately for Vector, Don Thousand was merely playing dead, rose from the ground after Vector lost and proceeded to absorb him with the power of the deceased emperors flowing through him. He emerged in a glowing humanoid form to face Nash and Yuma, until Mizar stepped in to duel him and defeat him, trying to end the duel in a draw at the cost of his life to finish off Don Thousand in an OTK, which failed and took only him out, due to Don Thousand mysteriously manipulating something in the duel.
* During an exhausting battle, Don tried to kill Yuma, but the latter was able to finish the former off, using cards that symbolize his bond with Shark and Kite Tenjo. Although unable to believe that a god could lose, Don Thousand sneered, telling the last surviving emperor that the power of Chaos is eternal and that he will realize the true nature of the Curse the Barian god had cast: Nash's very existence as Barian. (This curse is about Nash willingly choosing to become a Barian to rejoin his fallen comrades, meaning he will defend that world no matter what, regardless of brainwashing).
