Nasch wearing the Barian Emblem.
A Barian Emblem is an emblem that symbolizing the Barian World and its residents in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Those who are brainwashed by them have a Barian Emblem on their foreheads and no longer require the need of their own Duel Gazers to see the augmented reality. One of their eyes just becomes red instead.[1] When Vector possessed Dr. Faker, the Barian Emblem appeared on his forehead.[2]
The Seven Barian Emperors also wear the Barian Emblem in some way in their true forms. The Emblem was originally Nasch's, as he wore it as a pendant in his past life[3].
Also, all those who are brainwashed by the Barians have a tendency to say "Barian sekai no tame ni", meaning "for (the sake of) the Barian World". In the English dub, this chant is not said.
Brainwashed Duelists
| # | Identity | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fender | He is the leader in a gang of thieves who Girag gives Barian power to in order to defeat Yuma Tsukumo and Astral.[1] |
| 2 | Devon Knox | He is a Pro-Duelist who is under the control of the heralds of the Barian World.[4] |
| 3 | Carlyle Chesterton | He is the head of the Student Council at Heartland Middle School, and he was brainwashed by Girag in order to attack Yuma.[5] |
| 4 | Art Stanley | A member of Heartland Academy's Comic Book Appreciation Club, he was brainwashed by Girag after Carlyle's defeat. He was also given a supernatural power he used to kidnap and trap Rio Kastle inside the Comic Book World.[5] |
| 5 | Lotus Hanazoe | She is the leader of the Floral Design Club, and was used by Girag in an attempt to capture Rio. She was given a supernatural power to put those around her to sleep by cutting flowers.[6] |
| 6 | Tori Meadows & Cathy Katherine | They were used by Girag in order to defeat Shark and Yuma and recover their "Numbers". Ironically, Girag was forced to help Yuma defeat the pair to prevent his own demise. [7] |
| 7 | Various students | They were brainwashed by Girag to attack Yuma en-masse to obtain his "Numbers". Alito defeated them all to enable himself and Yuma to have a final 1-on-1 Duel.[8] |
| 8 | Ray Shadows | He was briefly brainwashed by Girag and used to restrain Yuma while the other brainwashed students attacked him.[8] He may have been faking, as he himself is a Barian. |
| 9 | Umimi Habara | Another Pro-Duelist, this time brainwashed by Vector in order to capture Yuma's Numbers. Unlike the Duelists Girag brainwashes – whose personalities change to make them subservient – she acts more like a sleeper agent, retaining her normal personality until she draws Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force during her Duel with Yuma.[9] |
| 10 | Number 96 | Vector gives "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" to Dark Mist as a token of loyalty. His attempt to use the card, however, results in a physical transformation.[10] |
| 11 | Nistro | After arriving at the Number ruins, he is brainwashed by Alito so he could be the holder for "Number 54: Lion Heart" and take its risk while also using him to defeat Yuma.[11] |
| 12 | Flip Turner | He was sacrificed to the Barian World, along with many Heartland City citizens after being possessed by an alternate "Number". [12] |
| 13 | Heartland City citizens | Residents of Heartland City were sacrificed to the Barian World after being possessed by Don Thousand's alternate "Numbers".[12] |
Don Thousand's Emblem
Don Thousand's Emblem.
Don Thousand also has his own variation of the Barian Emblem. It has thus far been seen when he has used his powers in other ways such as healing Alito and Girag; resulting in them having a malicious disposition.[13][11] A crest like image of this version of the Barian Emblem has also been seen being used by members of the Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World who use it to halve the opponent's Life Points and add it to their own at the very beginning of the Duel, effectively cheating.[14][15][16] This emblem appears on a wall behind Vector while he dueled Reginald Kastle (in their past lives).[17] It also appears on his chest, similar to how the regular Barian Emblem appears on Nasch's chest in Barian form.[18][12]
