Misao Mondou, also simply known as Zyuoh The World, is a protagonist of Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger. He was originally captured and fused with the three Zyumans by Ginis, turning him into a loyal servant of the Deathgalien as an Extra Player. Although Misao was originally an antagonist from the 17th to 19nd episodes, he eventually became the sixth ranger of the Zyuohgers.
He was voiced by Naoki Kunishima.
Biography[]
Misao Mondou is the result of a human experiment done by Ginis as overseen by Naria. Naria attempted to capture several Zyumans and was able to select three suitable subjects for the grand plan. These Zyumans were then drained of their life essence to generate the powers for the captive Misao to be infused with, resulting in the three Zyumans meeting their demise.
As a result, he is now called as "The World", and he is modified to be similar to a Zyuohger but with the ability to switch between or combine the three animal powers he has. Ginis refers to him as his "Extra Player" to make the Blood Game more interesting. Quval suggests unleashing him to the Zyuohgers just after they defeat his latest monster Trumpus, and he successfully takes all the Zyuohgers down one by one using his various forms.
With The World overpowering the Zyuohgers, the fight took another turn where the Zyuohgers use their robot combination as the last resort, and were beaten brutally by the World himself before Ginis told him to retreat, sparing the Zyuohgers' life. In the later days, much to the Zyuohgers's surprise, the World was sent to the fight for the second time during Trumpus's second Blood Game, leading to Yamato taking the World along with him to the water stream far away to have a fight, with the World overpowered, albeit for a while, before being rendered useless thanks to experiment issues and knocked down by Naria, who had recovered him for Ginis to forced him to become The World again which is led by Yamato's plan to rescue the latter.
Misao is finally able to break free after Yamato and the other Zyuohgers tell him to believe in himself rather than in Ginis or anyone else. However, he is reluctant to join the Zyuohgers due to believing that he is cursed by the three Zyumans whose lives Ginis stole to create Zyuoh The World. He has visions of the three as he struggles between punishing himself for what he had become and helping the other Zyuohgers. Eventually, however, he learns that the three are just figments of his psyche, with the Rhino Zyuman figure encouraging him to fight the Deathgaliens while bearing the sin of his creation after his redemption as Zyuoh The World.
On one such occasion, he was convinced he was cursed when a bike exploded right after he touched it as he felt a zap in the process. It was later revealed that this was actually caused by a Deathgalien who specialized in making bombs out of everyday objects. Yamato theorized that Misao had discovered his Zyuman power; the ability to sense danger through touch; as rhinos have sensitive skin. Amu then learned than she and Sela could motivate Misao easily by encouraging him and gripping his hand. This enabled him to first identify the building that had been turned into a bomb and then used his Zyuoh the GunRod in rod mode to jettison it into the sky before it exploded. When the Deathgalien turned giant, Misao proposed that the six Zyuohgers combine all thirteen Zyuoh cubes that they had thus far into one giant robo. This led to him single-handedly creating the design for Wild Tousai King in seconds
Quval used a fake version of Ginis to scare Misao into rashly fighting, allowing Quval to capture him. Quval then used Naria to create fake copies of Misao, and some various Deathgaliens (such as his player and Azald) that the Zyuohgers had already defeated. When the insurrection against Ginis failed and the Zyuohgers realized that Misao was still missing, they searched for him until they found him unconscious in the river.
Misao woke up in a hospital as the other Zyuohgers were fighting a giant Quval. He found himself scared, shaking as he tried to hold Zyuoh the Light. The Zyumans within his psyche helped him realize that he could not change and become more confident unless he wholeheartedly believed that he would. With that boost in confidence, Misao joined the battle in Tousai Zyuoh and helped defeat Quval. From that point on he became more confident, rarely becoming as depressed and insecure as he was before.
Misao helped the Zyuohgers (minus Yamato) fight multiple copies of Gift before being called by Larry and Bud to the Link Cube. Once they arrived, Bud explained that Larry, Amu, Tusk, Leo and Sela would return to Zyuland before severing the link between it and Earth so the Link Cube could be used to create a defensive barrier. Under this plan, Misao would have joined Yamato and Bud in becoming Earth's only defense against any remaining Deathgalien ground forces. However, Misao joined the rest of the Zyuohgers in rejecting the plan, preferring to fight Ginis directly if it meant maintaining the link between Zyuland and Earth. In the final battle, Ginis destroyed Misao's Zyuoh the Light along with the other Zyuohger's Champion Symbols by striking them mid-morph. Despite this, Misao fought on alongside his friends, causing the Earth to fill them with power as they punch Ginis. This power fixed all their changers, including Zyuoh the Light. Misao took it as a sign that the Earth had forgiven him for his sins and accepted him as a champion, and joined his friends in finishing Ginis once and for all. In the aftermath of Zyuland and Earth being rapidly fused, Misao and Larry helped the transition by hosting presentations explaining how Zyumans and humans shared the world before and could do so again. While in a middle of the said presentation, he happily sees his three Zyuman ghosts being very proud of him before they depart to afterlife.
Notes[]
- Misao is the first 6th ranger to start as evil ranger by brainwashing. Unlike any other previous evil 6th ranger who is evil by will before joining the team.
- However, his path follows that of three members of the Power Rangers franchise, Tommy Oliver, Ryan Mitchell, and Trent Fernandez-Mercer in that area.
- He also start out as evil by brainwashing since Heavenly Saint Blagel (Dark Magic Knight Wolzard) from Mahou Sentai Magiranger unlike the previous evil ranger before the series.
