ZEXAL]]'' anime. There were seven<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref> different locations of different "[[Number's Ruins ]]" ruins shown on-board the [[Different Dimension Airship]].
Each set of ruins consist of deadly traps and inscribe a legend on its wall telling the story of the person who occupied that location in a previous era, before they became ruins due to the ravages of time. [[Kazuma Tsukumo]] had explored these ruins and left a "[[ConquerorKing's Coin]]" to mark his presence.
Each ruin seen so far appeared to have some sort of connection to one of the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. Furthermore [[Astral]] confirmed that so far [[Dumon]], [[Vector]], [[Alito]], Mizael [[Mizar]] and [[Girag ]] were humans once and that they are the same individuals described on each of the legends.<ref name="ep105">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|105|ref}}</ref> Each of the ruins and "Numbers " appear to share similarities with different periods of time in real life: Dumon's legend associated with Medieval and Greek fantasy lore, Alito's associated with ancient Greece and ancient Rome, Vector's legend being associated with Transylvania and Vlad the Impaler, MizaelMizar's legend being associated with Chinese folklore, Girag's legend being associated with the Warring States Period, and Merag Marin and NaschNash's legend also following Greek lore and myths of Atlantis.
As the statue containing "[[Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu (anime)|Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu the Vetanuki]]" was transported to the [[Duel Lodge]], its ruins were not shown.<ref name="ep107">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|107|ref}}</ref>
==Number 44's Ruins ruins (Underground Temple)==[[File:The temple.png|thumb|left|Number 44's Ruins ruins (Temple)]]The temple's ruin is where one of the "[[Number 44: Sky Pegasus(anime)|Legendary Number44: Sky Pegasus]]s" slept. On its walls, a tale is inscribed about a pegasus named [[Mach]] who served a [[Dumon|legendary hero]]. The hero served a land along his fellow knights, but eventually he returned to his to home village. Without the hero, the other three knights grew arrogant and usurped the King, but were intercepted by Mach and his master. Since the hero was unwilling to kill his former comrades, both master and steed were eventually defeated and killed. However, the hero's fellow knights regretted their actions and they buried him and Mach together. Mach later became the "[[Number]]" spirit guardian of "[[Number 44: Sky Pegasus]]".
[[Dumon]] had some recollection of it as well and was able to read the ancient writings regarding the pegasus legend. [[Yuma Tsukumo]] and his friends traveled to this ruin in order to obtain the "Number".<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref> Yuma faced Mach in a [[Duel]] with [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]]'s and Dumon's lives at stake, and won, getting the ruin's "Number".<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|100|ref}}</ref>
==Number 65's Ruins ruins (Castle)==[[File:Ruins.png|thumb|Number 65's Ruins ruins (Castle)]]The castle's ruins is a Known as the "Number's RuinsLabyrinth of Screams" where in the dub, this castle contained "[[Number 65: Judge Djinn Buster the Adjudicutter (anime)|Number 65: DjinnBuster]]" sleeps. The ruin's prophecy, which [[Rio Kastle|Rio]] was able to read, spoke of a legend about a [[Vector|ruthless cruel prince]], who never trusted anyone and killed his people who whom he believed had plotted against him. When the prince was the only one left in his land, he committed suicide in atonement of his actions(in the dub, he drove all his people into exile, and soon discovered he had left himself in exile).
[[Vector]] and [[Number 96: Dark Mist_(character)|Number 96]] arrived at these ruins, defeating the "Number's" guardian, [[Battle Ox (ZEXAL character)|Battle Ox]]. By acquiring the Ruin's "Number", they also gained knowledge about the Ruin's traps and how to control them. During the visit, Vector was shown to be familiar with the ruins and felt dread towards both the ruins and its "Number". When Yuma and his friends arrived, looking for the ruin's "Number", Vector trapped them in cages, forcing [[Astral]] to face Number 96 in a Duel, while constantly threatening Yuma's life.<ref name="ep101">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|101|ref}}</ref> After Astral and Number 96 tied the Duel, Vector triggered an explosion within the ruins and fled with Number 96. [[Kite Tenjo]] saved Yuma and his friends from the collapsing ruins.<ref name="ep102">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|102|ref}}</ref>

==Number 64's Ruinsruins==[[File:Duel_LodgeDuel Lodge.jpg|thumb|left|Duel Sanctuary]]The [[Duel Sanctuary]] is similar to Number 46's Ruinsruins, as it is somewhat grand and lavish, although this is not where the [[Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu the Vetanuki(anime)|Number]] resided before a [[ConquerorKing's Coin]] and a statue of [[Girag|Kiraku]] was excavated - which the [[Number's Guardian|ethereal guardian]]; [[Ponta]] was sealed inside.
Ponta was originally a Tanuki ([[wikipedia:Japanese racoon-raccoon dog|Japanese raccoon dog]]), who was befriended by GiragKiraku, and helped him in battles. After Girag Kiraku learned that the vassals nobles were not happy with him sharing the spoils of his victories with the peasants, he was forced to part ways with Ponta, knowing that he would lose his next battle. Ponta felt betrayed as a result. Unlike the other Number's Guardians, Ponta was not killed, but his spirit was sealed in a statue of GiragKiraku.
==Number 73's & 94's Ruins ruins "Labyrinth" (Undersea Ruinsruins)==[[File:Under Sea Ruins.png|thumb|left|Number 73's and 94's Ruins ruins "Labyrinth" (Under Sea Ruins)]]A unique ruin under water. These ruins have a blue color scheme where there is a maze that will eventually lead people to the a platform where the Numbers sleep. Interesting Interestingly, due to the close proximity of the two ruins , it is hard to tell were where one begins and the other ends. This is the last of the seven ruins where , and it is the first to have two Numbers sleeping within it ("[[Number 73: Abyss Splash the Roaring Waterfall Deity(anime)|Number 73: Abyss Splash]] " and "[[Number 94: Crystal Zero the Polar Ice PrincessCrystalzero (anime)|Number 94: Crystalzero]]"). Both Numbers are being protected by the guardian named [[Abyss (character)|Abyss]].
[[File:Under_Sea_Ruins_from_above.png|thumb|Top view of the "Under Sea Ruins"]]
Yuma and his group, this time without Kite, traveled to the ruins where there was a huge storm that they had to go through. Rio Kastle was called out by Abyss to the bottom of the ocean, with Shark, Yuma and Astral following behind. They arrived at an open space where they followed Rio's footprints towards a maze. Suddenly, the walls around them shifted, separating them. Shark was being led by Abyss after finding [[Freezing Point|Rio's card]] on the floor. Shark arrived at a realm where he faced Abyss, who was possessing Rio and challenged him to a Duel. During the Duel, Shark was shown memories of his past life, which confused him greatly but thought it was just a distraction.
The Underwater ruins appeared in Shark's flashback to the past when he met Dumon. In the flashback, the ruins appeared to be in Vector's kingdom and at the time were still above the water. In the flashback, Nash followed Vector to the ruins and Dueled him in a [[Shadow Game]] there. Vector lost and knocked down the symbol of Don Thousand which was hung up in the ruins.
