'''Dumon''', known as '''Durbe''' in the Japanese version, is an [[Seven Barian Emperors|Emperor]] of the [[Barian World]] in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. After the disappearance of [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]] and [[Rio Kastle|Marin]], Dumon assumed leadership of the five remaining Barian Emperors in an attempt to protect the Barian World from [[Astral]].<ref name="DurbeInfo">{{citeweb|url=http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/anime/yugioh-zexal/images/chara_barian.png|title=TV Tokyo's Barian profile|publisher=tvtokyo.com}}</ref> He was later absorbed by Vector when attempting to protect Marin. He and the other Barian Emperors were revived and he reverted back into his true human self by the power of the [[Numeron Code]] following Yuma's and Astral's final Duel.

Dumon is the only Barian Emperor that never Dueled in his human form, or against [[Yuma Tsukumo]].

===Appearance===
[[File:Durbe's trueform.png|thumb|left|200px|Dumon's full appearance]]
Dumon appears most often under his gray cloak and has grey eyes that glows red. In his Barian form, his skin is of a wisteria color, he has short gray hair, two blue markings on the sides of his face and silver armor plating with blue gems covering different parts of his body, with a [[Barian Emblem]] found on the right side of his chest. Unlike most [[Barian]]s, he has a visible nose in his true form and his eyes are completely gray, with no visible pupils.

[[File:DumonLineart.png|thumb|left|Line art of Dumon's human form.]]
When on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], his appearance is that of a bespectacled boy with short, gray spiky hair, wearing a black vest over a white shirt, black pants, a [[Baria Crystal (jewelry)|Baria Crystal]] on his right wrist and a scarf tied around his neck. He would also come to use his former comrade's name, [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]], as his alias when in human form.<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref> Following his revival after [[Yuma Tsukumo]] and [[Astral]]'s ceremonial Duel, Dumon attends [[Heartland Academy]] as a third-year student, thus wearing the standard blue-lined uniform, blue pants and brown shoes.

In in his previous life, Dumon was a legendary knight and accordingly wore silver armor with a white cape. Unlike the human form that he took on in present-day Earth, Dumon did not wear spectacles.

===Personality===
Among his allies, Dumon is shown to be the most level-headed among them and was at one time their leader. He is shown to care about his fellow [[Barian]]s greatly, often voicing his high opinion of them and usually letting them know that he has faith in them before seeing them off on their mission.<ref name="ep74" /><ref name="ep80" /> Dumon is very loyal to the [[Barian World]] and prioritizes its safety above all else. Likewise, he is extremely loyal to the original leader of the Barian World, [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]], going to great lengths to find and restore him to his original position within the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. This appears to have stemmed from their previous human lives.

Dumon is also shown to intimidate the other Barians, especially [[Alito]], whom complained about the mission he received, but complied when Dumon used a strict tone.<ref name="ep80" /> He also seems to dislike confrontation as he often puts an end to arguments and fights between his comrades<ref name="ep74" /><ref name="ep94" /><ref name="ep99" />, though this did not stop him from threatening to put an end to [[Vector]] with his own hands if the latter did not stop acting alone.<ref name="ep94" /> He is not averse to praising his enemies, as he did during his Duel with [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]], where he complimented the young man's determination and Dueling skills.<ref name="ep97" />

He was also willing to sacrifice his life in order to protect his comrades, as seen when he was trying to used his "[[Celestial Rage]]" to end his last Duel against Vector in a draw, as well as using "[[Sacred Shield]]" to protect [[Rio Kastle|Marin]], even though it meant his death.<ref name="ep132" />
===Etymology===
Dumon's name is derived from [[wikipedia:Alpha Ursae Majoris|Alpha Ursae Majoris]], also known as Dubhe, a star located in the [[wikipedia:Big Dipper|Big Dipper]] asterism. His alias in human form, "Nash" is derived from another star in the same asterism - [[wikipedia:Eta Ursae Majoris|Eta Ursae Majoris]], also known as Benetnasch.

===Abilities===
[[File:Durbe'sEnergyForm.png|left|200px|thumb|Dumon's energy ball.]]
Dumon, like the other [[Barian]]s, has been shown to teleport using portals. Dumon has also been shown to generate a large [[energy ball]] which he can use to fly. Dumon is one of the few Barians who can stay in his true form, even on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]] (though he was in close proximity to [[Number ruins]] at the time). The only exception is when his [[Baria Lapis]] is damaged.<ref name="ep108" />

==Biography==
===History===
[[File:DurbePastLife.jpg|thumb|right|Dumon as a knight in his previous life.]]
Long ago, Dumon was a knight who served to protect a kingdom he lived in along with his pegasus, [[Mach]].<ref name="ep100" /> He was friends with the ruler of the [[United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean]], [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]]. When Nash's kingdom was attacked by [[Vector]]'s [[Vector's army|forces]], Dumon arrived to assist. He was targeted by Vector's archers, but he and his pegasus were too quick to be hit by the arrows. Nash's sister [[Rio Kastle|Marin]] was taken by the ocean god that Vector Summoned, [[Abyss (character)|Abyss]]. Dumon attempted to save her, but Marin pitched herself from Abyss' hand, sacrificing herself to call forth another [[Number 94: Crystalzero (character)|another god]].<ref name="ep109">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|109|ref}}</ref> Dumon then stood by Nash's side as he mourned his sister's death. He then assisted Nash's army in assaulting Vector's once more. The assault led them to a town Vector ravaged on his way, which sickened Dumon as he allowed his people to live in such conditions.<ref name="ep119">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|119|ref}}</ref> As the war between the two kings prolonged, Dumon and Nash planned to confront Vector and his military once they reached his location. Dumon fought and lead Nash's army in the battle and was the only known survivor.<ref name="ep120">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|120|ref}}</ref> At one point in his life, Dumon obtained a card called "[[Number 44: Sky Pegasus (anime)|Number 44: Sky Pegasus]]".<ref name="ep140">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|140|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Durbe'sMemories.png|left|200px|thumb|Dumon's fellow knights moves to kill him due to [[Don Thousand]]'s influence.]]
Eventually, he returned to his homeland, but learned about how his fellow knights had grown arrogant and plotted to usurp the King. Dumon and Mach intercepted the other knights and tried to reason with them, but Dumon failed and the knights turned their swords on him. Since Dumon was unwilling to kill his former comrades, both master and steed were eventually defeated and killed. However, Dumon's fellow knights regretted their actions and they buried him and Mach together.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|100|ref}}</ref> The knights had been hyponotized by [[Don Thousand]] in an effort to cause Dumon's rebirth as a [[Barian]].<ref name="ep140" /> 

[[File:Barian World beings.jpg|thumb|right|Dumon along with [[Alito]], [[Mizar]], and [[Girag]].]]

An unknown number of years later, Thousand reincarnated him as one of the [[Seven Barian Emperors]], as his soul was one that was connected to a [[Mythyrian Numbers|Mythyrian "Numbers"]] card, which had sealed Thousand's power.<ref name="ep129">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|129|ref}}</ref> Dumon had no memory of his previous life, due to the "[[Number 10X|Over-Hundred Number]]" that he received from Don Thousand.<ref name="ep130" /> After their leader, Nash's disappearance, Dumon assumed command of the Barians.<ref name="DurbeInfo" /> The Emperors plotted to obtain the [[Numeron Code]] before[[ Astral]] by gathering the "[[Number]]s".<ref name="ep74" /> Due to both worlds being made of energy, they could not interact, so they could not take "Numbers" directly.<ref name="ep74">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|74|ref}}</ref> After [[Vector]]'s plan of using humans such as [[Vetrix]] and [[Dr. Faker]] failed, Dumon determined they would have to intervene themselves.<ref name="ep73">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|73|ref}}</ref>

===Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II===
====Barian Invasion====
With the defeat of both [[Vetrix]] and [[Dr. Faker]], as well as the supposed death of [[Vector]], Dumon determined that they would have to accomplish the mission themselves. To that end, he sent [[Girag]] to [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], who began the new plan by brainwashing [[Fender]] and his subordinates as their first new agents.<ref name="ep74" />

[[File:Alit leaving for earth.jpg|thumb|left|Dumon sending [[Alito]] to Earth after [[Girag]]'s failure]]

Following Girag's failed attempts to acquire the "[[Number]]s", Dumon began to feel frustrated at the lack of good results and summoned [[Alito]]. Dumon ordered Alito to gather the "Numbers", however Alito rejected the mission as he claimed he could not fight to his fullest nor maintain his true form on Earth and that it would be boring. Dumon's eyes glowed, which intimidated Alito enough to make him go. [[Mizar]] appeared shortly afterwards, questioning Dumon on his reasons to send a "simpleton" like Alito to gather the "Numbers" as the future of the [[Barian World]] depended on it. Dumon merely responded that despite his flaws, he's an excellent [[Duelist]] and should have no trouble and that even a failure would bring them more information.<ref name="ep80">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|80|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Durbe hands over the Barian Sphere Cubes.png|thumb|right|Dumon hands [[Mizar]] the [[Barian Sphere Cube]]s.]]

After the constant failures of Girag and [[Alito]], Dumon decided to send Mizar to Earth in order to Duel [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]]. He gave him three [[Barian Sphere Cube]]s, two of which he was to give to Girag and Alito. Dumon put full trust in him, hoping he would produce better results than the other two.<ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|82|ref}}</ref> Later, Dumon and Mizar looked after a comatose Girag and Alito, who were healing in [[Baria Crystal]]s. Dumon remarked that only he and Mizar remained. It was then that Vector appeared to them, surprising them. When Mizar angrily tried to attack Vector, Dumon restrained him and told Mizar to calm down. Dumon blamed Vector for his failure, but Vector claimed his plan went exactly as it should have - up to and including his loss while possessing Faker. The three discussed what to do next, with Dumon ultimately agreeing to let Vector proceed as he planned, but warned him to stop acting on his own.<ref name="ep94">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|94|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Shark vs. Durbe.png|thumb|left|Shark vs. Dumon.]]
Vector's plan eventually resulted in Yuma, Astral and their allies boarding the [[Different Dimension Airship]] and attempting to reach the [[Barian World]] to rescue "Ray Shadows". The Barians sent monsters after the ship, and though the occupants fought them off, the ship crashed at "[[Sargasso the Different Dimension Battlefield (anime)|Sargasso the Different Dimension Battlefield]]", where Dumon waited with Vector and Mizar. Dumon took on [[Reginald Kastle]] and allowed him the first [[turn]], and then watched his opponent take [[effect damage|damage]] from the [[card effect|effect]] of "Sargasso".<ref name="ep95">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|95|ref}}</ref> As the Duel continued, Dumon managed to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry (anime)|Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry]]" as well as protect himself from "Sargasso" using "[[Sargasso Lighthouse (anime)|Sargasso Lighthouse]]".<ref name="ep96">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|96|ref}}</ref> Seeing how skilled Shark was after he Summoned "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss (anime)|Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]", Dumon complimented him, and stated Shark's way of speaking and soul reminds him of a certain person.<ref name="ep97">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|97|ref}}</ref> As Vector and Yuma's Duel reached its climax, Dumon neglected his own Duel to watch theirs and questioned Shark about Yuma, for he was interested in how much the former believed in the boy. After the power surge of [[ZEXAL II]] caused "Sargasso" to self-destruct, Dumon was forced to cancel his Duel with Shark and retreat back to the Barian World.<ref name="ep98">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|98|ref}}</ref>

====Mythyrian Numbers War====
[[File:DurbeandSharktrapped.png|right|200px|thumb|Dumon and [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] trapped by the ruins.]]
Back in the [[Barian World]], Dumon and [[Mizar]] saw that their home was crumbling around them and took it as sign that their time was ending. When [[Vector]] appeared, Dumon learned of the seven [[Mythyrian Number|Mythyrian "Numbers"]] and got their locations from [[Mr. Heartland]]. Dumon was about to set out, but Vector mentioned that [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]] might still be alive in the human world and he might be able to find him. Dumon then left through a portal, determined to collect the "[[Number]]s" first, but also wanting to look for Nash. As Dumon traveled through the dimensional rifts, he thought about Nash and lamented how Nash would never let similar events to their current situation happen. He eventually crashed into the [[Different Dimension Airship]], causing both him and the airship to exit the rift around one of the desired locations. Dumon woke up in his human form, injured from the crash and saw that his [[Baria Crystal (jewelry)|Baria Crystal]] was damaged - making him unable to use his [[Barian]] powers - and was about to be attacked by a bear. He then gained a debilitating arm injury. He was surprised when [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] suddenly saved him from it. Upon their meeting, [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] questioned who he was. Dumon said that his name was "Nash" and he was on vacation. Even though neither Yuma nor Shark recognized him as Dumon, Shark was still suspicious. Shark tried to convince Yuma not to trust him, but this conversation was cut short after the group heard [[Tori Meadows]]' scream from some distance way. They arrived at a temple and reunited with [[Rio Kastle]] and Tori Meadows (after getting rid of some snakes). In one room, Dumon saved Shark from being crushed by a wall coming down, but they got separated from the others. When a door opened up, Dumon and Shark went into the path, leading them to an empty room. Shark thanked Dumon for the rescue, but said he still didn't trust him. Dumon shrugged it off and he did it in return for Yuma saving him. When the walls started to close in, they were captured and their lives depended on the outcome of Yuma's Duel with [[Mach]].<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref>

[[File:ZXx100 Durbe saves Shark.png|thumb|200px|left|Dumon saves Shark from falling.]]

Dumon and Shark were forced to work together to survive the collapsing and changing labyrinth. Following [[Astral]]'s instructions, Dumon read the inscriptions on the walls of the ruins, which told of a legendary hero and his Pegasus. The legend stirred a feeling in Dumon, who believed that something was familiar about the legend. Although some of the runes were faded, Dumon knew how the story ended and the message behind it: Protect your friends. When the floor collapsed, Dumon saved Shark from death. When their hands touched, Shark began to glow and Dumon's Baria Crystal was repaired. Revealing himself and [[Barian Battlemorph|transforming]], Dumon pulled Shark up to safety. With the information from the legend, Dumon advised Yuma to protect his "[[Number 39: Utopia (anime)|Number 39: Utopia]]", which helped him defeat Mach's "[[Number 44: Sky Pegasus (anime)|Number 44: Sky Pegasus]]". Yuma thanked him for his assistance, but Dumon insisted was that they would be enemies the next time they met and after that he teleported away.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|100|ref}}</ref>

Later, Vector called Dumon and Mizar back to the Barian World and informed that Alito and Girag had awoken, much to their surprise. He was also stunned by Alito's new arrogant attitude towards him, but their conversation was cut off when Mr. Heartland interrupted them. Heartland told the group of the new "Number" location and that Yuma might be aiming for it as well, and Dumon looked on as Alito left to retrieve it.<ref name="ep103">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|103|ref}}</ref>

[[File:DurbeconfrontsYuma.png|right|200px|thumb|Dumon confronting [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]].]]

Later, Dumon pondered over the connection between the seven "Numbers" and the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. When Mizar arrived to inform him that he found another [[Number ruins]], Dumon lamented how they lost most of the "Numbers" to Astral and his group. Dumon then shared to Mizar his conclusion about the ruins' legends implied that they were humans once, but Mizar refused to believe this and left Dumon in search of the "Number".<ref name="ep105">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|105|ref}}</ref> Some time later, Dumon met with Mizar again and Mizar confirmed that the "Number" spirit had said he was once human, though Mizar refused to believe it. Dumon claimed he couldn't believe it either, but wished to continue investigating the ruins to find the legends of Nash and Marin, as their return could shift the situation to the Barians' advantage. Dumon arrived at the Different Dimension Airship and found out from Tori that the rest of the group had gone underwater. Dumon followed and eventually met up with Yuma and Astral.<ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|108|ref}}</ref>

Dumon challenged Yuma to a Duel to settle things, insisting it was their destiny to battle, but Yuma asked why he wanted to even there was no real reason to fight and Dumon helped them in the past. Dumon told Yuma that he was wrong and claimed he did not believe the legends that told the Barians were once human. When Astral asked Dumon why the final two Barian Emperors had not shown up yet, he told him that Nash and Marin were the leaders, but they vanished some time ago. Seeing Shark's Duel with [[Abyss (character)|Abyss]] in progress, Dumon left to watch it and was able to view the memories of Shark's past life. Dumon expressed surprise upon seeing that he was friends with Shark as well as seeing the [[Barian Emblem]] around Shark's neck. Upon Shark's summoning of the [[Number 94: Crystalzero (character)|second god]], Dumon began to suspect that Shark and Rio were Nash and Marin as he left the ruins.<ref name="ep109" />

While Yuma journeyed through the Astral World, Dumon had a brief talk with Mizar again, concerning the past life matter. He concluded that there was no way around it and that they must have had previous lives. He then appeared in Rio's hospital room, where Shark was, shocking the latter by calling him "Nash", expressing his theory that Shark is Nash.<ref name="ep118">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|118|ref}}</ref> He then used a [[Barian Emblem]] to take Shark and Rio to the undersea ruins once more where Shark witnessed another more of his past life's memories.<ref name="ep119" /> Shortly Shark saw how his past life's war with Vector ended, Dumon appeared before Shark along with Rio in form of an apparition. The Barian Emperor told Shark that he had finally understood why Shark was reborn as the leader of the Barians.<ref name="ep120" /> Dumon transported Shark and Rio to the Barian World to meet Nash's army and [[Iris]]. He told Shark that the war with [[Astral World]] will continue until one side is destroyed. He stated that Shark was the only one who could end it, even if it meant breaking his bond with Yuma and his friends, calling him "Nash" and Rio "Marin".<ref name="ep121">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|121|ref}}</ref>

A meeting was called and all the Barian Emperors gathered. Dumon looked on as Vector expressed his shock that Nash and Marin were alive.<ref name="ep122">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|122|ref}}</ref> Dumon explain to Vector that they ended up Earth as the Kastle twins, with their memories gone. He went on to ask Vector if the current situation on Earth was his doing, since only [[Don Thousand]] would be able to merge the worlds, but Vector suggested that [[Mr. Heartland]] must have revived him. After Nash granted each of the Barian Emperors new powers, he then consented to Vector's plan of attacking Earth now.<ref name="ep123">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|123|ref}}</ref>

====Barian Emperor Onslaught====
[[File:Dumon Vs. Dextra.png|thumb|left|Dumon vs. [[Dextra]].]]
After [[Mr. Heartland]] was defeated, the [[Seven Barian Emperors]] arrived together on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]] in front of [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] and commenced [[Barian Battlemorph]]. After Yuma was rendered unable to Duel when the [[Emperor's Key]] reacted with Nash's [[Barian Emblem]], [[Roku]] and [[Kaze]] arrived and pelted the Emperors with smoke bombs, allowing Yuma's group to escape. The Emperors gave chase, with Dumon being confronted by [[Dextra]], who he recognized as the "wench" that [[Vetrix]] had Dueled during the [[World Duel Carnival]]. As the Duel went on, he called her a stubborn opponent as she claimed he had yet to see her true ability. Eventually, [[Nash]] led the Emperors in a [[Chaos Draw]].<ref name="ep124">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|124|ref}}</ref> This allowed Dumon to use "[[Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One]]" to bring out "[[Number C102: Archfiend Seraph (anime)|Number C102: Archfiend Seraph]]". As he defeated Dextra with it, he complimented her and told her to rest now as her soul was sent to the [[Barian World]].<ref name="ep125">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|125|ref}}</ref> After Nash's victory over [[Quattro]], the Emperors regrouped and Dumon commented that the other remaining "Number" holders were Yuma, Astral, [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]], [[Trey]] and [[Quinton]]. Nash ordered the Emperors to split up and pursue them.<ref name="ep126">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|126|ref}}</ref>

[[File:DurbeandMeragEnergyBeams.png|right|200px|thumb|Dumon and [[Rio Kastle|Marin]] head towards a Duel.]]
Dumon traveled with [[Rio Kastle|Marin]] and they were soon alerted to a Duel's start when they saw "[[Number 9: Dyson Sphere]]" in the sky. They quickly headed to that location to find [[Mizar]] Dueling Trey and Quinton. Mizar told them he was fine and that they should move on and pursue Yuma and Kite. Trey and Quinton then used the power of their bracelets' [[crest]]s to generate a [[Sphere Field]], trapping the three Barians there. Mizar still told them not to interfere, which they obeyed and continued to watch they Duel.<ref name="ep127">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|127|ref}}</ref> After the brothers managed to seal "The Seventh One" by equipping Mizar's "[[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (anime)|Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]" to "[[Number C6: Chronomaly Chaos Atlandis (anime)|Number C6: Chronomaly Chaos Atlandis]]", Dumon commented that "The Seventh One" should be unstoppable, with Marin adding they had indeed found its one weakness. He was shocked when they managed to reduce Mizar's Life Points to only 1 with "Chaos Atlandis". Mizar finally manged to recover "Tachyon Dragon" and Summon "[[Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (anime)|Number C107: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]" to defeat them. The Sphere Field faded and Mizar told Dumon and Marin that he was heading to the moon to find Kite, after hearing of the [[Legend of the Dragons of Light and Time|legend]] the latter had gone to investigate.<ref name="ep128">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|128|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Vector Vs Merag & Dumon.png|thumb|left|200px|Dumon and [[Rio Kastle|Marin]] take on [[Vector]].]]
When Dumon and Marin arrived in the Barian World, they were greeted by Vector. He informed them he intended to unite the power of the Seven Emperors. Dumon responded that the seven were already united, but Vector corrected him, saying he would absorb all of their powers for himself.<ref name="ep130">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|130|ref}}</ref> Vector revealed that he had revived Don Thousand and that the Seven Emperors were simply his pawns to begin with. Dumon pointed out that that applied to Vector too, but Vector claimed that with Thousand's power, he was a god himself. Dumon suggested Marin flee to inform the others, but Vector clarified that Alito and Girag were working for him. The three Dueled in a [[Battle Royal]] style, though Marin and Dumon combined "[[Number 103: Ragnazero (anime)|Number 103: Ragnazero]]" and "[[Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry (anime)|Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry]]" to destroy "[[Number 96: Dark Mist (anime)|Number 96: Dark Mist]]". However, Vector Summoned "[[Number 43: Manipulator of Souls (anime)|Number 43: Manipulator of Souls]]" and equipped "Dark Mist" to it before recovering his [[Life Points]] using the [[Continuous Spell Card]] "[[Don Thousand's Throne (anime)|Don Thousand's Throne]]", which drew its power from [[Reginald Kastle|Nash]], who is held captive within a [[Sphere Field]], which in turn increased the monster's [[ATK]] and deals damage to Marin. [[File:Dumon'sfinalmoments.png|right|200px|thumb|Dumon falls, hoping his sacrifice will enable Marin to win.]] Vector revealed his "point" system and the fact that he had killed Nash and Marin previously. Marin, enraged by Vector's words, used "The Seventh One" to bring out "[[Number C103: Ragnafinity (anime)|Number C103: Ragnafinity]]".<ref name="ep131">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|131|ref}}</ref> Dumon nearly defeated Vector and himself with "[[Celestial Rage]]" and "Archfiend Seraph", but he was countered by "[[Evil 1]]". Using "[[Sacred Shield]]", he increased the ATK of Marin's "Ragnafinity" and took himself out of the Duel, expressing his thanks to Marin and Nash for being his friends in both lives. He reverted to his human form and faded away, his soul being absorbed into Marin.<ref name="ep132">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|132|ref}}</ref> Despite Dumon's sacrifice, Marin was unable to win, as "Don Thousand's Throne" enabled Vector to [[Rank-Up]] "Manipulator of Souls" into "[[Number C43: High Manipulator of Chaos (anime)|Number C43: High Manipulator of Chaos]]", which defeated Marin. Vector absorbed Marin's soul afterwards, gaining Dumon's in the process.<ref name="ep133">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|133|ref}}</ref>

Like the rest of the Emperors, Dumon was later revived by the power of the Numeron Code and revert back into his true human form. He enrolled in [[Heartland Academy]] as a third-year student. Later, Dumon, the Emperors, Kite and Tori traveled with Yuma to the Astral World to help Astral with a new crisis.<ref name="ep146">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|146|ref}}</ref>

==Deck==
Dumon uses a '''"[[Star Seraph]]" Deck''', focused around quickly summoning his ace monster, "[[Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry (anime)|Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry]]" through cards such as "[[Star Seraph Sage (anime)|Star Seraph Sage]]" and "[[Star Seraph Scout (anime)|Star Seraph Scout]]". He later gains the ability to perform a [[Chaos Draw]] to use "[[Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One]]", allowing him to [[Rank-Up]] "Star Seraph Sentry" from either his [[Graveyard]] or [[Extra Deck]] and Summon [[Number C102: Archfiend Seraph (anime)|its evolved form]].
