ZEXAL|89|ref}}</ref> is a being that originated species of beings originating from the [[Barian World]], which is a high-energy world of energy in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. Most of them were once human, but they all have been reincarnated as Barians when they died. The majority of those lived in the [[United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean]] before their deaths, hence why [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]] was reborn as their leader. An elite group of Barians are the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. The [[Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World]] are also an enforcer group of Barians. Since [[Barian World]] was originally part of [[Astral World]] before the power of [[Chaos (power)|Chaos]] was banished from it, a small portion of the Barians were originally denizens from Astral World. The only known Barian to fit in this category is [[Don Thousand]].

Led by the [[Seven File:A_barian's_heart.jpg|thumb|left|A Barian Lords's heart]]The Seven Barian Emperors, formerly human, the Barians wish resemble humanoid beings with unnatural skin color, such as purple or red. Furthermore, all of them have what seem to gather the "[[Number]]be crystals and/or armored-like plates on their bodies, such as Mizar's face resembling a mask, Girag's" face resembling a helmet, and destroy Dumon having gems on his body. Also unlike humans, they seem to lack certain organs such as mouth or nose, or perhaps those organs are otherwise not seen (the only exception being Don Thousand, due to being from Astral World); despite this, their senses appear unhampered, as is their ability to speak. They cannot gather In the "Numbers" themselvesEnglish dub, so the Barians in their Barian forms have an echo effect in their voices when they manipulated or exploited humans such as [[Drspeak. Faker]] They also have crystals for hearts and [[Vetrix]] as seen with Mizar, they seemingly have the ability to complete their agenda.<ref name="ep74" /> They are able to circumvent this restriction through the use of a device called a [[Barian's Sphere Cube]]survive in space.<ref name="ep82ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

In contrast, other Barians, such as those belonging to the Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World, take on less humanoid forms depending on the different species based off of them, like a [[Erazor|cicada]], a [[Chironex|jellyfish]], a [[Scritch|mosquito]], and even a [[Mr. Heartland|fly]]. They can even survive in low-energy enviornments such as Earth in their true forms. ===Etymology===The Seven Barian Emperors of Barian World are loosely named after one of the stars of the [[wikipedia:Big Dipper|Big Dipper]] in the Japanese version: [[Dumon|Durbe]] after Dubhe, [[Alito]] after Alioth, [[Mizar]] after Mizar, [[Girag]] after Merak, [[Vector]] after Phecda, [[Reginald Kastle|Nasch]] after Benetnasch and [[Rio Kastle|Merag]] after Megrez. ===Abilities===[[File:Gilag Alito and Alit witnessing the Barian energy ballGirag training.png|thumb|left|200px|thumb|Misael's arrival[[Alito]] and [[Girag]] training.]]When their human pawns and While on [[VectorEarth (planet)|Earth]] , Barians are forced to take on a human form, not knowing that this form was the one they had from the time they were defeatedhumans, although [[Dumon]] apparently only needs to do this if his [[DurbeBaria Crystal (jewelry)|Baria Crystal]] determined is damaged. The only major resemblance between both their Barian and human form is their hair, which only changes color.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|80|ref}}</ref> As energy beings, they would have remarkable tolerance to intervene directly. To that endpain, he sent even in human form; [[Girag]] was able to take a punch in the face from [[GilagFender]] without so much as a flinch, though they are not immune to pain and injury entirely. Dumon, Erazor, Chironex, Scritch, and Mr. Heartland however, can retain their true Barian forms on Earth, though Dumon has only done so inside of or very close to [[Number ruins|"Number" ruins]] and the Fearsome Four of the Dark Dueling World all did so within Barian Fields.<ref name="ep74ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

[[Vetrix]], who made a contract with the Barians, was able to wield "produce [[Chaos XyzEnergy Ball|energy ball]]" monsterss and use the aforementioned networks to travel.<ref name="ep80ep43" >{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

"CXyz" monsters originate from Barian World and Alit arrived on Earth through portalsare produced there as "weapons" to defeat the "[[Number]]" monsters.<ref name="ep74" />While in human form, Barians cannot wield them, but they can use "Barian's Force" to brainwash humans into doing so for them.<ref name="ep80" /> MisaelThe brainwashing effect seems to vary depending on who does the brainwashing. Girag's victims retain their personalities, but become devoted to serving Barian World, while Vector's arrival was via victims are more like sleeper agents; retaining their original personalities until the brainwashing activates when they draw "Barian's Force", at which point they become ruthless and sadistic like Vector himself. Alito's brainwashing on the other hand completely robs the victim of free will and personality. Don Thousand's brainwashing has two levels; the first altering the victim's personality (and possibly their memories) to become more aggressive, while the second puts the victims completely under his control. Interestingly, the Barians themselves are not immune to being brainwashed as seen when Girag brainwashed Vector (though he could have been faking), and when Don Thousand brainwashed Girag and Alito. In addition, if a Barian were to lose a Duel to a giant energy ball crashing into person using a forest"CXyz", causing they would vanish from existence, just as Astral would if he lost to a deep crater"Number".<ref name="ep82ep81" >{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
