Barian Emblem

The Barian emblem in the artwork of "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force".

The Barian Emblem is the emblem symbolizing the Barian World and its residents. It appears as a stylized blue fleur-de-lis with a cross-section that encloses a red diamond-shaped gem at center. Its origins lie in the past life of Nash, leader of the Seven Barian Emperors, in which he wore it as a pendant.[1]

After Nash's death in his past life, he was reincarnated as a Barian and was chosen as the Barian leader by the denizens of Barian World. Due to this, his emblem came to symbolize the Barian World and its residents. Each of the Seven Barian Emperors also possess similar emblems, though the exact relation is uncertain. Those who are brainwashed by a Barian have this emblem appear on their foreheads and no longer require the need of their own Duel Gazers to see the augmented reality, as one of their eyes just becomes red instead.[2] When Vector possessed Dr. Faker, the emblem appeared on his forehead.[3]

The emblem also held the past memories of Nash. Dumon presented it to Shark, claiming it originally belonged to him, and as such, it would reveal the truth. He urged him to touch the Emblem and awaken his and Rio's original memories from the ruins of the Numbers 73 and 94, and remember his reasons for becoming the leader of the Barians.[4]

Don Thousand's Emblem[edit]

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.[14][12]
