"Yuma... When people grow up, they usually end up throwing away something that matters to them... But... don't you go and throw away... that power to believe in people, and that heart that never gives up... Don't you dare throw 'em away."

"Sh-Shark..."

"See, I would've liked to see the future you guys get going myself... but it doesn't look like I'll get to."

"Hey!"

"Kotori... Don't take your eyes off this idiot. Thanks, Yuma... Astral... My friends for life... I'm glad I got to have one last great duel with you two. Later..."

Hello, Zexal fans! Zexal Month 2024 is just around the corner and, for this year, we're doing the ABCs of Zexal! That's right, this year, our prompts are just based on the letters of the alphabet.

@zexalmonth 2024

5th: C is for Chaos Chaos is both a force of evil and the essence of life in Zexal. For this prompt, you can go either way. Share the craziest thing you enjoyed about Zexal or put your favourite character in a chaotic situation. Alternatively, draw a character in Zexal getting corrupted by Chaos.

one of my headcanons post-canon is that Ryoga/Nasch offers to help protecting Astral World (since it has fused back to Barian World), and he and Astral go on missions to accomplish that. Maybe one of the "side effects" of Astral being exposed to Barian energy is that it "corrupts" him, he becomes reckless and out of control, but also very powerful. Maybe Nasch is able to constrain him, but even so, it can lead to some interesting (and chaotic) situations

V- Victory

@zexalmonth

I will probably keep posting more art even though zexal month is over, because I want to share more of my barian monster babies, but I just wanted to say thank you for running this event. I have been deeply obsessed with Zexal for a few years now and wanted something to push me into drawing more, but I was so caught up in work and grad school that I wasn't giving myself time to create. Then I lost my job and during this month break from school this was the perfect event to help me reconnect with myself and process my feelings a bit through art, remembering that there's more to me than just my work persona, I can be proud of and excited to share my creative side too! This was a much needed gateway to more artistic time in my day, and more overall joy in my life. I have drawn more this past month than in the last year combined, probably!

This show means a lot to me because of its themes of believing in goodness and learning to accept the chaos of life as something beautiful and necessary for growth and connection.

I want to carry that kattobingu spirit into my next job and the next chapters of my life.

Astral World

Here all about the Astral Word.

1. The astral world is a realm that consists only of energies and is only accessible to people with a high spiritual level. So, Astralians exist on a level that is not visible to the human eye. 2. The astral world exists parallel to the human world. Because of this, Don Thousand was able to use the Numeron Network to fuse both worlds, harnessing the powers of the Numeron Code. If the astral word is destroyed, the earth go down as well. 3. In the astral world, any living being can use "Shining draw" (the creating play move). Also, it seems that damage done during the duel would remain instead of disappearing. 4. Eliphas is a kind of god or guardian of the astral world, created by the inhabitants, when Don Thousand brought chaos to the astral world. Astral was also created. The assumption is, that it was Enna. 5. The barian world emerged from a chunk of the astral world and represents the counterpart. Chaos reigns in this world, while the astral world has banished all chaos. Later Astral fuses the worlds back together with the nummeron code. 6. Astral world resembles a desert and many plants are dying. When Yuma enters this world, he fills it with life again and he can also heal the inhabitants who have cracks. 7. Eliphas notices this immediately and says that the residents are now infected with chaos. But apparently this world cannot live without chaos, which is why (a little) chaos also seems to be life energy. 8. When humans die, they can become reinincarnated in the astral world, if they´ve a pure soul. 9. From the astral world are the Duelmonsters. 10. Astralians all have fair skin that glows bluish or turquoise. Occasionally, some Astralians also have violet skin. Their empty-looking eyes also shine blue or turquoise. Her hair is white, blue, turquoise. Once lighter, once darker. The clothing of the Astralians looks old-fashioned. Astral, Eliphas, Don Thousand, and Enna stand out quite a bit with their looks. 11. Don Thousand is formerly from the astral world. However, he seems to have gotten his black coloring from the chaos. No other Astralian has such dark skin. The fact that Black Mist is also black is apparently due to the fact that he is a) a part of Don Thousand and b) the dark counterpart of the light-filled Astral.

[forhope]

  | Brainworms GO! |

  | Duel links also shows that Astral doesnt have nails so this is def not an animation error! HOWEVER what makes that really interesting is that Eliphas, Astral’s progenitor and PROTOTYPE [1] DOES have nails, though they’re rarely drawn with the closed shape the human characters nails are.  |

   -[1] All headcannon and au info aside Eliphas is explicitly stated to be artificial like astral and made before him, so its safe to assume that Eliphas can be viewed as a rough draft of what techniques would eventually go into making Astral.

  | What I find really cool about that is that from a design standpoint its a very good way to make him look ‘Alien’ same as him lacking any toes or how his hair and head seem to be drawn without a line to separate them. This also plays into how Takahashi seemed to have viewed Astral [and i guess by extension eliphas though dont quote me on that] as being made of a sort of metal like substance rather then just, blue space flesh stuff.  |

  [ Source : Drawing of mer astral posted in one of takahashi’s art galleries' ]

  | It gives the shape language of a poured mold rather then the organic structure Eliphas seemed to have been made with. Which fits because they both fundamentally have different power scales and ROLES. |

  | Eliphas and Astral were both designed with Combat in mind, Eliphas being designed to physically purge chaos and chaos alligned people from astral world as the denizens belived should be done [at the time] so you can note that compared to other denizens he is MASSIVE.  |

  | He’s taller, Physically Stronger, and given more powers then a kid in creative mode ALL of said powers being offensive from what we’ve seen. |

  | My point? ; Eliphas was designed from the ground up for Physical Confrontations. In such confrontations where someone would be punching and grabbing at you, even small things like having something on your hand to scratch them with on the off chance would be an advantage that the oh so practical denizens would have likely desired at the time. He was litterally constructed to be unstoppable in a Physical Fight with even minute advantages like being able to claw your face off if need be (Which is why he does his job too well and ends up a tyrant GG Denizens for not putting in a ‘dont kill our ruling bodies’ clause on your murder robot.)  |

   BY CONTRAST 

   | Astral is designed with Grand Scale Destruction in mind, its easy to overlook with how much goes on in season two but Astral is stated to have been made with the intent to first destroy don thousand and THEN destroy barian world with his innate powers. As a result he isnt designed with the physical strength of Eliphas because thats not what he was made to do. |

  | It’s no secret astral is VERY small and lean compared to everyone in the cast, even other denizens! He’s lean, elegant, petite and child like in design compared to Eliphas’s older more bulky form because he wasn’t made with the intent to Physically fight an opponent he was made to be Unassuming. If bulky armored warrior like Eliphas were to show up to your planet as an Envoy your guard would automatically be raised. BUT a small childish boy like Astral? What harm could he do? His form hides the fact he’s single handedly capable of destroying your entire planet. Its twisted yes but its also a very smart tactic for the denizens to employ because we know it works- LOOK AT THE FANDOM reaction to him! Astral is smaller in stature then eliphas but he is far more powerful then him in terms of Powers and Destructive ability. Where eliphas can stomp you in a physical brawl Astral can destroy your planet before you even know He Can. |

  | They both have an Iron Giant like narritve to them of two creatures being made by their creators with violence in mind and nothing else but having the door opened to them to CHOOSE to be individuals instead. Astral had his memory and programing altered, allowing him to learn what LIFE is and decide to emulate it, while Eliphas is the CONTRAST, he didnt have someone to change his programing or teach him about that kind of thing, its no wonder when he first see’s yuma he attacks despite yuma being a child, A Machine’s Mentality wouldnt care, because hes made to fight all chaos imbued things regardless of age or faction. |

TL ; DR : Astral seems to be designed to look as harmless as possible by the denizens so much so he doesnt physically have any form of self defense because his job is to blow up a planet, while Eliphas does have physical forms of self defense because his job is to actually punch you into submission thank you for indulging my brain worms.

I just noticed that Astral has no nails wtf😭😭

His and Yuma's hand for comparison:

My son has no way of defending himself apart from dueling are you fr right now😰😭

[shifuto]

321/365

do not have energy to finish drawings but still wanted to participate in the OC week (@ygoc-week) so here it is

this is the "Zexal" morph between Astral and Ryoga/Nasch

still figuring out his character design but I've been taking inspiration from Nasch and the existing Zexal morphs. I'm not sure if I like him with human skin considering both Astral and Nasch are aliens - so I preferred the light purple (Astral's blue + Nasch's violet). I'm also not sure about his markings or the earrings either and I'll probably keep on playing with it until I find something that feels good (these are the other designs I've tried here and here)

as for some backstory hmmm.... this is part of one of my AUs in which Astral and Ryoga are fighting side by side to protect Astral World (and keep Yuma out of danger), and they end up overlaying due to Nasch's Chaos influence over Astral. Canonically, the Barians lost their powers after the Numeron Code revived them, but I wonder just how much was lost actually. In my AU, they mostly retained their powers but without a Barian World to come back to, they are unable to transform on Earth normally. Since Ryoga has a "debt" to pay to Astral (and Yuma), he helps however he can. He is one of the most powerful Barians, and Astral one of the most powerful Astralians so it works out quite well, they are virtually unbeatable except.... Astral is still vulnerable against Chaos and Nasch is Chaos personified. It becomes a problem

this AU is still in development so I'm still figuring things out, I think there's a lot of fun things to explore as I develop this character further

[raemanzu]

So I guess I will upload these because why not, this is one thing that has given me joy in the last few months, actually drawing some OCs in the Zexal universe from our RPs. Technically genderless in barian form they also have human bodies which are female so typically go by she/her.

The top one is Hope Lionheart, her barian form is a combination of Merag, Nasch, and Vector... but she was raised by Yuma and Alito mostly in her human form because she was formed against her parents' will when some jealous gods co-opted use of the numeron code to create Hope as a representative/missionary of sorts for them in other dimensions. Luckily this didn't pan out and she's had a relatively normal god-free childhood but her barian sense of age and her human sense of age are totally different.

The other one is Nana, she's Hope's older sibling (but also younger sister) who was intentionally made as a combination of Nasch and Vector's cores, and has the chaos to match lol do not be fooled by the innocent pose. I'm very proud of the hands hehe

It was really nice to use colored pencils again...

[nightfurylover31]

You guys ever think about how Yuma is potentially the most powerful being in ZEXAL? Think about it!

When he's introduced, he can barely Duel. But by the end, he has grown into one of the best. But's that's not what I'm referring to. As the series continues, we find out Yuma is capable of sensing the Barians' and even Don Thousand's presence. And it seems he has a natural ability to use Number cards without being influenced. He was even able to withstand Haruto's energy field when he was losing control.

And it turns out that Yuma is actually the missing half of Astral that he lost during his first battle against Don Thousand centuries ago, confirmed by Astral himself. So Yuma can utilize Shining Draw, an ability only used by denizens of Astral World. Yuma also has the power of Chaos, which in his case, can heal and counter effects of negative Chaos. He is essentially a perfect balance of all three worlds!

And the most amazing part about all this is, even if Yuma realized all this, he wouldn't do anything. He wouldn't go wielding this power and become some sort of god. That's not who he is. He would try to change the world with his actions, by believing in others and protecting those he loves. It's his heart and spirit that influences those around him, not his power. Yuma is truly a wonderful and amazing character!
