By the way, this comment of "It's your opinion" is redundant and pointless. Everything said by everyone here is an opinion and it's always expressed as a statement. "It's your opinion!" is always lobbed at something the responding person disagrees with as though that's an actual point.

WHAT super vague backstory? Genis kidnapped him and 3 Zyumen and experimented on him to make him a Ranger for his own amusement. Literally what part of that is vague?
You want a character who just exists to sell toys? See the Washio brothers in Build because all they do is transform and fight, have a boring backstory of being child soldiers and a single scene showing any resemblance of growth. Misao's a character who grows and has his personal problems, he has self esteem issues, feels guilt about how THREE people died to have their powers forced upon him, One could argue Misao's on the spectrum of autism, which tbh I wouldn't be surprised with as Misao reminds me a LOT of a friend of mine irl who's got autistim, especially with how easy it is to upset them and their self esteem issues. Misao's also incredibly awkward in social situations as he overreacts to just having friends or seeing some of his friends fight, meaning he cherishes his fellow Rangers. If he was really just there to 'sell toys' he wouldn't even had gotten his personality back after being rescued from Genis, which still scares him.


You say that but you literally said did that very thing in the Build episode 40 thread today
