"CXyz", an abbreviation of "Chaos Xyz" (ＣＸ（カオスエクシーズ） Kaosu Ekushīzu), is an archetype of monsters that can be Xyz Summoned by Chaos Xyz Evolution, with the effect of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force", and is a sub-archetype to both the "Chaos" archetype and the "Xyz" archetype. They have been used by Tori Meadows, Fender, Devon Knox, Carlyle Chesterton, Art Stanley, Lotus Hanazoe, Brooke Walker, and Reginald Kastle/Nash. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL, Yuma Tsukumo also uses these cards.

Story

"CXyz" monsters are created by the Barians for the sole purpose of subduing the "Number" monsters. Xyz Materials attached to "CXyz" monsters take the form of red diamond shaped crystals as opposed to glowing orbs, and are referred as "Chaos Overlay Units" rather than "Overlay Units" in the anime.

Like monsters that can utilize Chaos Xyz Evolution, these monsters require an additional Xyz Material but with 1 higher Level in a regular Xyz Summon, since they themselves are 1 Rank higher than their respective original counterparts.

So far, all of the "CXyz" monsters, except "CXyz Simon the Great Moral Leader", "CXyz Zubaba Saikyo General", and CXyz Barian Hope, can inflict effect damage and all CXyz monsters except "CXyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral" and "CXyz Dark Fairy Cheer Girl" have the same Attribute as their original counterparts. Visually, they are all tied together by the presence of glowing red energy on their bodies, energy from the Barian World.

Trivia

• This archetype can be compared to the "Meklord Emperor" archetype. Both were specifically used to stop and restrain the key monsters of the protagonists of an anime series ("Number" monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and Synchro Monsters in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's respectively), with the former having a special effect (when Summoned via their signature card) to counter the unique anime effect of the "Numbers" that prevents them from being destroyed by battle. In addition, both can absorb specific targets to leave their opponents defenseless, with "Meklord Emperors" being able to equip Synchro Monsters to themselves (removing them from the field while bypassing any destruction protection) and "CXyz" monsters being able to detach Xyz Materials from opposing "Numbers" and attach them to themselves, crippling their opponents' effects.
• Another comparison to the "CXyz" Monsters is the Dark Synchro Monsters. Both represent a corruption of a summoning method used by the protagonists (Synchro Summon for Yusei Fudo and Chaos Xyz Evolution for Yuma Tsukumo).
