[Black Fang]

Misao's backstory is summed up in just one scene that's played as a parody of deep drama. He's just some guy with no friends that Genis happens to find one day and give him power. No real explanation for his arsenal beyond "Oh Genis just had them and modified them." Gee, how interesting. It's just like all those Zyuoh Cubes that happen to be on Earth for some reason and appear when the next toy debuts. That doesn't sound like a deeply planned script to me.

Even if you wanted to claim that Misao has PTSD, this is hardly the way to go about executing it. It doesn't even come across as PTSD: I never thought PTSD when I saw him on screen. Just as Leo says, it comes across as an annoying guy who whimpers in a corner over the stupidest things.

So no, sorry, I don't find Misao compelling. I might have liked his inner monologues with the three Zyumen more if they weren't always being played for comedy. But then the entire concept of the Zyumen needed to be redone in my view.
