ZEXAL|89|ref}}</ref>, is a being species of beings originating from the [[Barian World]], a high-energy world 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]] is . 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 group made up small portion of the Barianswere originally denizens from Astral World. The only known Barian to fit in this category is [[Don Thousand]].

One Barian, [[Vector]], has also exhibited the ability to take on an energy form while on Earth, which resembles a winged, red version of [[Astral]].<ref name="ep71">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|71|ref}}</ref>

Uncloaked[[File:A_barian's_heart.jpg|thumb|left|A Barian's heart]]The Seven Barian Emperors, formerly human, the Barians resemble human-like humanoid beings with unnatural skin color (, such as purple, or red). Furthermore , all of them have what seem to be crystals and/or armored-like plates on their bodies, such as MisaelMizar's face being what resembles resembling a mask and Gilag what resembles , Girag's face resembling a helmet, with Durbe and Dumon having stones 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, they are capable of using their senses appear unhampered, as is their ability to speak. In the English dub, the Barians in their Barian forms have an echo effect in their voices when they speak. They also have crystals for hearts and as seen with Mizar, they seemingly finehave the ability to survive in space. <ref name="ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|133|ref}}</ref> They also cannot maintain their Barian forms on Earth without the use of a [[Sphere Field]], with the exception of [[Number ruins |Number ruins]].

To dateIn contrast, all other Barians, such as those belonging to the Fearsome Four of the Barians seen are maleDark Dueling World, therefore it is unknown if take on less humanoid forms depending on the Barian different species is based off of them, like a [[Erazor|cicada]], a [[Chironex|jellyfish]], a [[Scritch|mosquito]], and even a sole gender or if any females are simply not revealed[[Mr. Heartland|fly]]. They can even survive in low-energy enviornments such as Earth in their true forms.

Every known resident The Seven Barian Emperors of the Barian World is are loosely named after one of the stars of the [[wikipedia:Big Dipper|Big Dipper]]in the Japanese version: [[Dumon|Durbe]] after Dubhe, [[AlitAlito]] after Alioth, [[MisaelMizar]] after Mizar, [[GilagGirag]] after Merak, [[Vector]] after Phecda, [[Reginald Kastle|Nasch]] after Benetnasch and [[Rio Kastle|Merag]] after Megrez.

[[File:Alit Alito and Gilag Girag training.png|thumb|left|[[AlitAlito]] and [[GilagGirag]] training.]]While on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], Barians can are forced to take on a human form on Earth, though not knowing that this form was the one they do not choose what had from the time they look like; were humans, although, [[Dumon]] apparently only needs to do this if his [[Baria Crystal (jewelry)|Baria Crystal]] is damaged. The only major resemblance between both their hair Barian and human form is the same as that in their true formhair, which only changes color.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|80|ref}}</ref> As energy beings, they are impervious have remarkable tolerance to pain, even in human form; [[GilagGirag]] was able to take a punch in the face from [[FumaFender]] 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! ZEXAL|108|ref}}</ref>With the partial merging of Earth and Barian World, the Barian Emperors can take their true forms on Earth without the presence of Number ruins or a Sphere Field.

Barians can travel from the Barian World using portals [[Overlay Network]]s and can also utilize the ability on Earth, vanishing and reappearing teleporting on a whim.<ref name="ep80" /><ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

[[Vetrix]], who made a contract with the Barians, was able to produce [[Energy Ball|energy balls ball]]s and use the aforementioned portals networks to travel.<ref name="ep43">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Barians possess the ability to [[Rank-Up]] their [[Xyz Monster]]s via the use of File:Barian_energy_inside_a_Chaos_Xyz.png|thumb|right|200px|"[[Rank-Up-Magic BarianNumber C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus (anime)|Number C105: Battlin's ForceBoxer Comet Cestus]]"has winged-like parts on its body, which lets them Summon "[[Number C]]" and "[[CXyz]]" monsters. "CXyz" monsters originate from the all have Barian World are produced there as "weapons" to defeat the "[[Number]]s"energy seen in it.<ref name="ep74" /> While in human form, Barians cannot wield them, but they can use "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" to brainwash humans into doing so for them.<ref name="ep80" /> Furthermore, if a Barian were to lose a Duel to a person using a "CXyz", they would vanish from existence, just as Astral would if he lost to a "Number".<ref name="ep81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

==History==The Barians have a feud with those of possess the [[Astral World]] and seek ability to destroy it. One Barian, [[MisaelRank-Up]], specified that if they do not, then their own world will have "no future".<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

To that end, he sent let them [[GilagSummon]] to Earth.<ref name="ep74"/> Another Barian, [[Rei ShingetsuNumber C]], also arrived on earth, a [[Barian's Guardian]] sent to stop the plans of the evil Barians.<ref name="ep76">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|76|ref}}</ref> Later after Gilag's Failure, Durbe sends Alit to gather the "Numbers". On Earth, Barians can take human form, though they do not decide what they look like and are unable to wield "[[CXyz]]" monsters.<ref name="ep80CXyz" /> Following Gilag's failed attempts to get Yuma's monsters originate from Barian World and are produced there as "Numbersweapons", back in the [[Barian World]] Durbe sends [[Alit]] to try retrieving defeat the "[[Number]]s" from [[Yuma]]monsters.<ref name="ep80ep74" /> [[File:Misael!.jpg|thumb|right|Misael's arrival.]]After the constant failures of [[Gilag]] and [[Alit]]While in human form, Barians cannot wield them, [[Durbe]] decides to sends [[Misael]] to Earth giving him three but they can use "[[Barian's Sphere Cube]]sForce" which lets Barians collect "Numbers" themsleves. Misael's arrival was via a giant energy ball crashing to brainwash humans into a forest, causing a deep craterdoing so for them.<ref name="ep82ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Girag's attempt victims retain their personalities, but become devoted to defeat Yuma was interrupted by [[Kite Tenjo]]serving Barian World, who took over while Vector's victims are more like sleeper agents; retaining their original personalities until the Duel. Misael ended up calling the Duel off brainwashing activates when the power of his they draw "[[Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]" nearly destroyed the [[Barian's Sphere Cube]].<ref name=Force"ep83">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
