Misao Mondou (門藤 操 Mondō Misao) is Zyuoh The World (ジュウオウザワールド Jūō Za Wārudo) (initially introduced as merely The World (ザワールド Za Wārudo) by Naria), initially an enemy to the Zyuohgers, later to become their Sixth Ranger. He is nicknamed Micchan (ミッちゃん Mitchan) by Yamato.
Misao is 21 years old at the beginning of Zyuohger.
History[]
Zyuohger[]
Misao's Debut[]
Misao Mondou is the result of a humanoid experiment done by Ginis as overseen by Naria. Naria attempted to capture several Zyumans and was able to selected 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 these three Zyumans meeting their demise. TV STORY-Ep. 16: Finding Zyuman
Now called "The World", 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. TV STORY-Ep. 17: Extra Player, Intrude
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' 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 TV STORY-Ep. 18: Etched Terror before being render useless thanks to experiment issues and knock down by Naria before taken away, leading to Yamato's plan rescue the World.
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. TV STORY-Ep. 19: Who Can Be Trusted? However, he is reluctant to join the Zyuohgers as he believes 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 figure encouraging him to fight the Deathgaliens while bearing the sin of his creation. TV STORY-Ep. 20: Monarch of the World
Misao would then go on to fight alongside the Zyuohgers on most missions, although he continued to suffer from lapses of doubt and self-hatred particularly from the human experiment Ginis done to him.
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. TV STORY-Ep. 22: Awakening? Is it Wrong?
Quval's Rebellion[]
Quval used a fake version of Ginis by using Bangray's hand to scan Naria's memories TV STORY-Ep. 40: Men's Aesthetics to scare Misao into rashly fighting, allowing Quval to capture him. Quval then used Naria to create fake copies of Misao, Azald, and various Deathgaliens 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. TV STORY-Ep. 41: The First and The Last Chance
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. TV STORY-Ep. 42: The Future of this Planet
Ginis' Final Assault[]
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. TV STORY-Ep. 47: The Last Game
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. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Earth is Our Home
Chou Super Hero Taisen[]
Catching up with Amu, Misao and the others fought against the army of Shocker from the Game World alongside various fellow Sentai Rangers and Kamen Riders. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen
Zyuohger Returns[]
Misao was on a zoological expedition with Yamato when his fishing rod caught their two invitations to the Monarch of the Earth tournament. Misao decides to participate to uphold his Zyuohger title as "Champion of the World." He is the only contestant to rely on his Zyuohger form during the tournament. On multiple occasions during the tournament he has awkward encounters with Lilian, who claims that he reminds her of a certain rhino Zyuman. Misao theorizes that this is the same rhino that Ginis drained in order to grant Misao his powers.
Because Leo and Sela's semifinal match ended in a double-KO draw, Misao's semifinal match against Lilian is converted into the final match of the tournament. Pocane Daniro turned the stage into a Faraday cage to shock Misao into losing, but Misao is able to destroy the electric antennas and win by throwing Lilian out of the arena. To celebrate, during the next roll call he replaces his usual tagline of "Champion of the World" with "Champion of Earth."
In Misao's fight against Daniro's clone of Team Leader Jagged, Lilian saves him from an attack and the two become enamored with each other. When Jagged tries to interrupt, Misao turns his Zyuoh the Light into a long-reaching laser beam and slashes Jagged in half, killing him. After the battle, Misao and Lilian announce that they are in a relationship, becoming the first Zyuman-human couple. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger Returns: Life Received! Earth Champions Decisive Battle!
Lupinranger VS Patranger VS Kyuranger[]
When the three teams gather to face Don Arkage, Misao suddenly appears out of nowhere and scolds them for being too detail oriented and logical, much to their confusion. He transforms and fights with the rest, but rushes uncontrollably into the background after going into Great Instinct Awakened mode, briefly breaking the fourth wall by ranting about why his series did not get another crossover special.
He briefly reappears at the end of the movie, sitting depressingly while other characters celebrate their newfound friendships together. MOVIE STORY-Lupinranger VS Patranger VS Kyuranger
Zenkaiger[]
A manifestation of Zyuoh The World appeared after Twokaizer used the Zyuohger Sentai Gear which allowed him to utilize Zyuoh The World's Zyuoh The GunRod to fish Diamond World out of a river. However, a side effect using the gear caused Twokaizer to receive and suffer from Zyuoh the World's depression temporarily. TV STORY-No. 35-kai! Diamond ◆ Delight?!
Personality[]
When he was kidnapped and brainwashed by Ginis, Misao is turned into a ruthless warrior.
Once he is freed with the help of Zyuohgers, Misao is revealed to be introvert who has problems with befriending others since his childhood, thus making him guilt-ridden for being weak himself. With the help from his new Zyuohger friends and the moral support from the three Zyumans inside his mind, Misao develops more self-confidence by letting go of his regret over everything the Deathgalien subjugated him into doing, especially the deaths of the three Zyumans.
Misao often takes people words and actions too literally, constantly making Misao getting emotional about them, as he gets very excited and motivated when getting moral support and other interests, and he is prone to getting depressed easily when conflicted about the notion of either criticism or failure.
Imitations[]
- A fake Zyuoh The World was created as part of a fake Zyuohger team by Bangray via scanning Quval's memory. He was defeated by the real Zyuoh Shark, Zyuoh Lion, Zyuoh Elephant, and Zyuoh Tiger. TV STORY-Ep. 34: Megabeast Hunter Strikes Back
- A copy of Misao was created by Quval via scanning Naria's memory as a plan to lure Ginis into Earth so that he could get his revenge on him. TV STORY-Ep. 41: The First and The Last Chance
Zyuoh The World[]
Zyuoh The World's insert theme is ZyuOh The World.
Rhinos Form (ライノスフォーム Rainosu Fōmu) is Zyuoh the World's primary form. This power was gained when the life essence of a rhinoceros Zyuman was drained and infused into Misao. To access this form he turns the cube on his Zyuoh The Light to the Rhinoceros side activating his black form and powers.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- Human Zyuohger Physiology: As one of the two human members of the Zyuohgers, Misao lacks both a Zyuman form as well as a tail that can alert him to the presence of hostile forces. However, being a human allows Misao to use Zyuoh The Light to transfer a Zyuman's power into himself, adding their abilities to his own. Doing so however shortens the life of the donating Zyuman, resulting in Misao using this ability only in times of utmost necessity. Especially since the process is irreversible, as seen when Yamato tried and failed to use his Zyuoh Changer to return Larry's Zyuman Power.
- Zyuman Power (ジューマンパワー Jūman Pawā): As a result of receiving Zyuman power from three Zyumans thanks to Ginis, Misao gained the ability to utilize their powers and abilities in order to fight as one of the Zyuohgers.
- Alternate Form: Zyuoh The World is able to transform into 3 different forms from the Rhino Man, Wolf Man and Crocodile Man
- Evil Sense: As a result of receiving the Rhino Man's Zyuman Power, Misao now has sensitive hands that can sense evil through his sense of touch. He can tell how much evil is within the essence of others and decide how threatening they are based on the amount he senses.
- Enhanced Strength: With three Zyuman Power infused in his body, Misao is quite strong in physically term. Using all his power, The World can even lift an entire building.
- Mediumship: Misao can communicate with the spirits of the three dead Zyumans whose powers are inside of him.
- Earth's Energy: As a defender of all living organisms on Earth, Misao was bestowed with the Earth's Energy, which not only restored his damaged Zyuoh The Light, but also granted him superpowers, like:
- Superhuman Strength: Even in their civilian form, the Zyuohgers together were able to punch back Shin Ginis.
Attacks[]
- Zyuoh Slash (ジュウオウスラッシュ Jūō Surashhu): Zyuoh The World and the other Zyuohgers transform into a giant claw which slashes the opponent.
