💎👿🌌A hell of chaos and crystal. Seven emperors of suffering and grief. Welcome… to Barian World!🌌👿💎

Overjoyed to finally get to share the piece I did for @aygozineproduction's Zexal Zine! This was a beast to ink but I'm SOOO happy with it <3 I love the Barian Emperors a normal amount <3333

Everyone's work for the zine came out just spectacular, I had so much fun taking part!

@zexalmonth B for Barian.

I have this headcanon (with raemanzu) that Nasch is like anodized metal (titanium?) so I had to actually figure out how to paint that effect and that took a lot longer than I thought it would, which is why this is late. I'm not sure how successful I was but I hope it kinda looks like that.

HD VERSION

Happy Barian Week! Instead of doing individual art pieces for each barian, I decided to do a video with all of them on Nasch’s day, 10/1!!

This was fun to do, hope you enjoy!

From a discord discussion, because Nasch actually has no claws like the other Barians

Some fun findings in my Barian Emperor deep dive

Zexal cannot for the life of them decide if they want Dumon to be Greek, English, French, or Norse. The folklore taxonimist part of my brain finds this inordinately funny.

They want SO bad for Nasch's empire to be some Mycenaean/Classical Era kingdom, but totally bungles it by having Dumon be there. This is also inordinately funny to me.

Squinting our eyes a little and giving the series a lot of creative license, Alito seems to be the oldest of the Barian emperors, then a huge gap of a couple centuries, and then the death order would logically go Mizar, then Marin, Vector, Nasch, Dumon, and finally, Girag.

Mizar, in his past life, carried around, and presumably knew how to use, a sword. I had completely forgotten about this.

"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..."

@zexalmonth R - Ruins I love yugioh's past life drama but I hate yugioh's lack of new character designs for said past lives when it really doesn't make sense for them to be the same. So Rae and I came up with an alternate look for Nasch that keeps his hair and eye color but doesn't look like the exact same person. And we wanted him to be in his 20s or early 30s. So here's a drawing over a screencap and a different pic I drew earlier in my own style.

Ryouga/Nasch Redesign

Click for better quality!

More Notes about it under the cut!

-Firstly I wanted to make his past life a.k.a. Nasch look DIFFERENT than Ryouga himself. Past lives do not work that way. They may look similar, but not directly a copy paste version. I mean, Ryouga Kamishiro isn’t even Nasch reincarnated. It is implied, if not canon, that the Kamishiros are Descendants of Nasch and Merag (however so, because I don’t think they had kids??), so I guess it makes sense, that they look similar. But definitely not the same! I also made Nasch older than Ryouga, because I won‘t have a 14 year old fight in a war and lose every single one of his soldiers (and his sister and adopted daughter). Here he‘s 19.

-Which also brings me to my trans!Ryouga headcanon, where I think that Ryouga was actually born a girl— Important! Ryouga, not Nasch! Nasch was born as a boy. — So Ryouga was originally a girl, but after the accident, when Nasch‘s soul entered her/his body, Ryouga started to feel more like a boy, because her/his soul was now actually a male and not female anymore.

-Also I finally settled down, what nationalities I think all the Barinas are. As you can see I headcanon Nasch and Merag as Greek (maybe Japanese mixed as Ryouga and Rio, but still part Greek, because of the descendants thing). I just blame the locations of their ruins on volcanic locations shift, as someone informed me about it on my map post. You‘ll see what I came up with for the others, I’m especially excited for Vector.

-I also liked the Heterochromia in his Barian form, so I think he had it already as Nasch and only got it back, when regaining his memories and barian powers. Because the left eye of the barians only turns red when dueling, so they can see the monsters and all. You could say they see… Duel Spirits. But that’s the thing. They can only see them in duels or when they „activate“ their red eye. But I think Nasch, as the leader of the barians is so powerful that his red eye is permanent, making him able to see duel spirits all the time. (I mean Vector had to absorb 4 barian emperors to even truly compete with Nasch, meaning Nasch alone is as powerful as 5 barian emperors)

-I changed his necklace to an actual shark tooth, because I was so disappointed, when I found out it wasn’t a real shark tooth. I mean, yeah it‘s cute that it had a family picture of them in it, but I’m not saying he doesn’t have that anymore, just not in a necklace. I think the tooth is something he got it from his father, because I headcanon he was a marine biologist. Ryouga also wants to become a marine biologist and study sharks. Because being emperor isn’t really an option in this time.

-We know Ryouga and Rio share silver rings and he still has his, he now just has a golden extra one with a sapphire, which serves as a promise ring for him and Durbe. Durbe of course also has one, also golden with a ruby.

-He, Rio and Durbe all share friendship bracelets, with their barian aura colours. It was Rio‘s idea, but Durbe made them.

-I also love the idea of him and Rio having shark teeth. Were they born with them? No one knows…

-Now for the Nasch redesign, I gave him a more casual kind of look. Of course he has some armour, but only wears it later in the story, when really going into war.

-I also gave him a crow BECAUSE KING NEEDS A CROWN and made it look similar to his barian crown, but with extra wings on them. He let them be added to the crown, to show his connection to Durbe and the alliance with his king indirectly to the whole kingdom. Also because he misses him. Of course not every one was fine with this, but Nasch was such a beloved ruler, no one dared to oppose him.

-I got the Idea for the sword switch from a fanfic I read about them once, where they actually got their swords together ad named them after each others stars of the big dipper. So here they got their swords, but switched them and named them after the other (Dubhe and Benetnasch) so they could still fight side by side, even when apart.

If you have any other questions about the redesigns, ask away, because as you can tell I really like to yap about them! :)
