'''Barian World''' or '''Varian World''' (バリアン{{Ruby|世|せ}}{{Ruby|界|かい}} ''Barian Sekai''),<ref name="ep89">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|89|ref}}</ref> is a dimension located in parallel world in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime that is a counterpart of [[Astral World]]. It is ruled by the [[Seven Barian Emperors]] and its malicious deity and embodiment is [[Don Thousand]].

Barian World was once part of Astral World and was created with the purpose of hosting any soul that possessed the power of [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]].<ref name="ep118">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|118|ref}}</ref> The world was originally small, but later expanded due to all the souls that were caught in the middle of [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]]'s campaign against Vector.<ref name="ep120">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|120|ref}}</ref>

Barian World is a world made of various powerful energies resembling [[Astral World]], but with a reversed color scheme. Like the [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], Barian World experiences rainstorms on occasion. Unlike Earth, [[Baria Crystal]]s occupy most of Barian World, as do red tundras.

Thousands of years in the past, [[Don Thousand]] confronted [[Astral]] in battle and was defeated, but not before a shard of his [[Number 96 (character)|essence]] was stuck to him. Astral then sealed him within the [[Barian Sea]].<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep112">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|112|ref}}</ref>

When [[Dr. Faker]] entered Barian World by sacrificing two people - [[Kazuma Tsukumo]] and [[Vetrix|Byron Arclight]],<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|55|ref}}</ref> he was met by [[Vector]]. Vector agreed to use the powers of his world to sustain the life of Faker's son [[Hart Tenjo]]. In exchange, Faker was to destroy Astral World. To that end, he began gathering "Numbers" to power the [[Sphere Field#Sphere Field Cannon|Sphere Field Cannon]].<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|70|ref}}</ref> However, he told other people he made the pact with Vector in order to conquer the world.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|60|ref}}</ref> Faker's son, [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]], owns a robot called [[Orbital 7]], which was fueled by [[Baria Crystal]], a fuel source from Barian World.<ref name="ep23">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|23|ref}}</ref> Although Faker did not tell Kite the whole story,<ref name="ep70" /> he was at least aware that Barian World existed and was related to the "Numbers" in some way.<ref name="ep23" />

Byron Arclight (who eventually became known as [[Vetrix]]), was rescued by a group of [[Barian]]s and granted the abilities of Barian World. His saviors requested that he collect the "[[Numbers]]" and destroy [[Astral World]] as compensation for their help.<ref name="ep74">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|74|ref}}</ref> These abilities included the power to restrain opponents with chains,<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|58|ref}}</ref> and ownership of the card, "[[Final Prophecy]]", which is capable of opening the doorway to Barian World.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|49|ref}}</ref> Vetrix said that he trusted only two things - himself and Barian World, as they are what protected him after being betrayed by Dr. Faker.<ref name="ep58"/>

Vetrix gave "[[Final Prophecy]]" to [[Trey]], which was activated during Trey's Duel against [[Yuma Tsukumo]]. It caused the gateway to Barian World to appear, which threatened to destroy all of existence. However, Trey and Yuma cooperated to seal the gate.<ref name="ep49"/>

In the semifinals of the [[World Duel Carnival]], Vetrix used chains that came from Barian World on Yuma. He told Astral that his own powers would not be able to affect the material, as Astral's powers came from [[Astral World]].<ref name="ep58"/>

After the constant failures of [[Girag]] and [[Alito]], Dumon decided to send [[Mizar]] to Earth in order to Duel Yuma.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|80|ref}}</ref> He gave Mizar three [[Barian Sphere Cube]]s, one for Mizar and two of which he was to give to Girag and Alito. He then disappeared into a portal and appeared in another realm, where he approached [[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon|Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]], which he sealed in a [[blank card]].<ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|82|ref}}</ref> Following Alito's ambush by [[Vector|Ray]], Mizar took him back to Barian World to recover from his wounds.<ref name="ep87">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

====Mythyrian Number War====

[[File:The Barian World Begins to Crumble.png|thumb|left|The Barian world begins to crumble.]]

Frustrated that his machination against Yuma and his allies was defeated, Vector dove into the [[Barian Sea]] to release the Barian deity, [[Don Thousand]], who granted Vector his power in exchange for locating the seven "[[Mythyrian Number]]" cards that sealed him away long ago. At the same time, Barian World began to crumble, leaving Mizar and Dumon wonder if their world was ending. Vector appeared to them, telling them that they need to find the "Numbers" before Astral recovers his powers and destroys their world. Locating these Numbers with assistance from Mr. Heartland, who had been transformed into a fly by Vector after falling into Barian World, Vector used his power to revive Alito and Girag.<ref name="ep99" />

He revealed a [[Fusionizer|device]], capable of combining Barian World and Earth, if the malice of the human world reached that of Barian World. This would amplify 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 instructed Vector 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.<ref name="ep112" />

After [[Erazor]]'s defeat at the hands of Yuma and [[Trey]], Heartland reported the failure to Vector and apologized. Vector responded that he would tolerate no more failures. Heartland revealed he had the next assassin set up - [[Chironex]], a [[WATER]] Duelist who once served as Heartland's own mentor. Upon hearing this, Vector ordered Heartland to send Chironex after Shark and mused that whenever he thinks of Shark, his chest fills with rage.<ref name="ep114">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|114|ref}}</ref> When Chironex was defeated, Scritch came to stop Yuma's journey to Astral World, but was defeated by Quinton and Kite, who managed to send Yuma to get Astral back.<ref name="ep116">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|116|ref}}</ref>

While Yuma journeyed through Astral World, he encountered [[Ena]], who revealed that long ago, Barian World was once part of Astral World and that the same world was created with the purpose of hosting any soul that possessed the power of [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]].<ref name="ep118" />

During this time, Don Thousand and Vector initiated their machination, sending many "[[Fake Number]]s" they mass produced to corrupt the populace of Earth, as they were to be sacrificed so that Barian World can be merged with Earth via the Fusionizer. When Yuma returned, he started a Duel with Mr. Heartland, who harmed Kite using the "Number" he obtained from Scritch. Mr. Heartland used his "Number 1" and transformed himself into a demonic humanoid, depleting Yuma's points rapidly. However, Yuma and Astral merged into ZEXAL III and defeated Mr. Heartland, causing the counterfeit "Numbers" Vector and Don Thousand created to be destroyed. However, Dumon managed to get Rio and Shark back as Nash and Marin, the two missing Emperors, turning them against Yuma, Astral and Kite.<ref name="ep123">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|123|ref}}</ref> While Yuma's friends <[[Roku]], [[Kaze]], [[Dextra]], [[Nistro]], [[Anna Kaboom]], [[Nelson Andrews]], [[Bronk Stone]] and [[Quattro]]>, Dueled the Emperors, To Stall them, They were Defeated and their Souls were Sent to the Barian World like the Seven Emperors Before them.<ref name="zx124">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

After defeating [[Don Thousand]], the Seven Barian Emperors were revived by Astral using the Numeron Code, but now as humans just as they were from their past incarnations. According to Eliphas, Astral fused Barian World and Astral World using the Numeron Code.<ref name="ep146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|146|ref}}</ref>

Barian World and [[Earth (planet)|Earth]] have shown a strong connection with each other. Several humans who have died on Earth, have been reincarnated as [[Barian]]s, such as the military of the [[United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean]], [[Iris]], the [[Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World]] and the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. Barians can reincarnate as humans, such as [[Nash]] and [[Marin]], who were reincarnated as [[Reginald Kastle]] and [[Rio Kastle]] respectively.

Humans, who were reincarnated into Barians can acquire an alternate alien-like form and several superhuman abilities such as teleportation and energy blasts, among others which vary from each individual. According to [[Don Thousand]], if the hatred of Earth is great enough, it is possible to fuse the Earth with Barian World, suggesting a malicious connection between the two worlds. Those who die with sorrow and resentment in their hearts go to this world.

Barian World was once at war with [[Astral World]], it's been confirmed by [[Eliphas]] and [[Astral]] that Astral's mission is to destroy Barian World, while the Barians want to destroy Astral World in order to prevent that.  

Both factions seek the "[[Number]]" cards, with the ultimate objective being the [[Numeron Code]]. Since the two worlds cannot interact directly, the Earth is exploited as their battlefield, with humans being recruited or coerced to assist in their cause.

 

However, through Kazuma and ultimately Yuma's efforts, Astral world began to consider abandoning the power of Chaos an error. This mistake is resolved once a changed Astral used the Numeron Code to fuse the two worlds back together, which brought up many new challenges for the world in the process.
