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 Nalia), initially an enemy to the Zyuohgers, later to become their Sixth Ranger. He is mostly nicknamed as Micchan (ミッちゃん ) by Yamato.
Character History
Zyuohger
Misao Mondou is the result of experimentation done by Ginis as overseen by Naria. Naria attempted to capture several Zyumans and was able to find three subjects. These Zyumans were then drained of their life essence to generate the powers for the captive Misao to be infused with. 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. Cubaru 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
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. TV STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen
Life Received! Earth Champions Decisive Battle!
TV STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger Returns: Life Received! Earth Champions Decisive Battle!
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 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 Dethgaliens subjugated him into doing, especially the deaths of the three Zyumans, although he is still prone to getting depressed easily when conflicted about the notion of either criticism or failure.
Powers and Abilities
- Human 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.
- Evil Sense: As a result of receiving the Rhino Zyuman'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.
- Alternate Form: Zyuoh The World is able to transform into 3 different forms from the Rhino Man, Wolf Man and Crocodile Man.
- Enhanced Strength: As a result of receiving a Rhino Zyuman's power, Misao's strength has been greatly enhanced. Using all his power, The World can even lift an entire building.
- Mediumship: Misao can communicate with the spirits of the dead Zyuman 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.

- 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
Behind the Scenes
Portrayal
- Misao is portrayed by Naoki Kunishima (國島直希 Kunishima Naoki). As Zyuoh the World, his suit actor is Masashi Takada (高田 将司 Takada Masashi).
Etymology
- His given name,Misao can be seperated into two words.3(三 Mi),the numbers of the Zyuman powers that he possess, and rod(竿 sao),his weapon of choice,the Zyuoh The Gunrod.
Notes
- Zyuoh the World is the first Ranger, in his default form, to represent a combination of various colors and powers. As a result, he has three Ranger forms in one, each with its own power set, theme, color and number assignments. Gai Ikari of the Gokaigers has done something similar, but as a combo of two powers each, as Go-On Wings and Gokai Christmas but only as Gokai Changes.
- He is the second Black Sixth Ranger after Riki (KingRanger) from Chouriki Sentai Ohranger.
- Stage shows reference Misao's third color as gold, though his suit leans toward a shade of amber, which debateably itself is a shade either of gold, or orange - both previously-used Sentai colors.[1]
- Misao's surname, Mondou, is derived from the Italian "mondo", meaning "World".
- Misao is the first Ranger to have a Crocodile motif.
- Because of his Ranger name being "The World", a minor internet meme among fans of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure went around the web as The World or Za Warudo as it is known in Japanese is also the name of the Stand of the villain DIO. [2]
- Two of the three mechas he pilots are the same as Tsukumaro Ogami/GaoSilver. Coincidentally, one of them is a silver wolf.
- Two of Misao's mecha share similarities with those of the Go-On Wings. As Cube Crocodile is similar to Hiroto Sutou/Go-On Gold's mecha Toripter in that they're both gold, and have the number 7. Similarly, Misao's Cube Wolf is silver and numbered 8 just like Miu's mecha Jetras.
- Misao is the first 6th ranger to start as evil ranger by brainwashing, unlike previous evil 6th rangers who were 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.
- Misao is the first Sentai Ranger ever to have a weapon with a Fishing Rod mode.
- But his weapons Fishing Rod Mode makes it similar to Tsukumaro's Gao Hustler Rod as both had a form that was based on a sport or hobby that the Sixth Ranger participated in for Tsukumaro his Gao Hustler Rod had a Break Mode used like a Pool cue as he played Pool, And Misao's Zyuoh The Rod's Fishing Rod Mode was based on him being a fisherman.
- Since Misao has three colors in his Ranger costume (Gold, Silver, And Black) he has three successors color wise in Kyuranger Balance (Tenbin Gold), Champ (Oushi Black), And Naga Ray (Hebitsukai Silver).
- The origin of how Misao obtained his Ranger Powers is slightly similar to the creation of some of the Showa Era Riders of the Kamen Rider franchise as Misao and the Showa Riders were experimented on by the Main Villains to become their strongest Warriors.
- Misao as Zyuoh the World having three animal motifs is similar to Eiji Hino from Kamen Rider OOO, with the only difference being the placement of the animals on their costumes.
