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. Additionally, Shark, in his past life as a prince, was shown to wear the Barian Emblem as a necklace[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 is Not Say )
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 | Mamoru Jinguji | 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 | Chitaro Ariga | A member of Heartland Academy's Manga club, he was brainwashed by Girag after Jinguji's defeat. He was also given a supernatural power he used to kidnap and trap Rio Kastle inside the Comic Book World.[5] |
5 | Aika Hanazoe | She is the leader of the Ikebana 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 and incapacitate them.[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 | Rei 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] |
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.[12][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.[13][14][15] This emblem appears on a wall behind Vector while he dueled Reginald Kastle (in their past lives).[16]
