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.

You said it was vague, not simple or boring, etc. Also are you SERIOUSLY expecting a show for little children that sells them toys in which every episode would literally end with "Come on everyone! Let's sing and dance together!" to have incredibly deep drama? Sentai's usually the 'simple' series in contrast to Kamen Rider

If you're only looking at that for the PTSD you're trying to find a needle in a cup of orange juice, the PTSD is because those Zyumen who haunt him? They're figments of his imagination because of his survivor's guilt and the PTSD. God, you're acting like that guy who yelled "WHY IS EMU A DOCTOR INSTEAD OF AN INTERN" or "HOW DID THE KYURANGERS PERSONALITIES GET SWAPPED I WASN'T PAYING ATTENTION!"
