Barian, known as Valian (ヴァリアン Varian) in the Japanese version, is a mysterious, evil emissary from the Barian World appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Through his manipulations and contact with Dr. Faker he can be considered the true central antagonist of the series as he was responsible for most the events that happened, in a similar vein to Z-one in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Appearance
Barian resembles a red version of Astral and like that character, comes for a world that appears to be named after him. He also has wings on his back.

Abilities
In a similar manner to ZEXAL, he too can merge with another being, except that he is the only one in control.

History
Five years before the World Duel Carnival, when Dr. Faker opened the door to the Barian World, Barian appeared to him. Believing that Hart Tenjo could only be kept alive with powers from the Barian World, Faker agreed to collect the "Numbers" for Barian in order to destroy the Astral World, which Barian claimed was the source of Hart's illness. If Faker did not complete his task, Barian would take Hart for himself.

World Duel Carnival Finals
When Faker's plan was near completion, he Dueled Yuma Tsukumo, Reginald Kastle and Kite Tenjo. When the Duel turned towards their favor, Barian appeared and possessed Faker to continue the Duel.

Deck
Barian possesses Faker mid-way through his Duel, using Faker's Deck as his own. He ace is Number 92: False Skeletal God Dragon, Heart-eartH Dragon.
