- "Monarch of Humanity! Zyuoh Human! (人類の王者！ジュウオウヒューマン！ Jinrui no Ōja! Jūō Hyūman!)"
- ―Zyuoh Human's roll call[src]
Mario Mori (森 真理夫 Mori Mario) is the maternal uncle of Yamato Kazakiri; the younger brother of his late mother, Wakako Mori-Kazakiri. He owns a workshop named Atelier Mori, where he and Yamato live together, in the woods where he makes sculptures of animals, and sometimes can be seen cosplaying as different animals to seek inspiration for his works. Mario is the person Yamato admired the most and his vast knowledge of animals is what inspired his nephew to become a zoologist.
After learning that Yamato and his friends are the Zyuohgers, Mario emulates them to the point of making his own costume to become Zyuoh Human (ジュウオウヒューマン Jūō Hyūman).
History[]
When an injured Yamato was brought home, 
TV STORY-Ep. 16: Finding Zyuman his friends explaining that he was trying to treat a feral animal. Mario recounted one time when Yamato was kicked by a runaway horse he was trying to catch, noting that he has always been stubborn. TV STORY-Ep. 19: Who Can Be Trusted? Mario spent Christmas overseas, missing the Zyuohgers giving him a sweater as a gift. Before he left, however, Mario witnessed Yamato and his friends fighting Azald's latest Deathgaliens, first as their true selves (Zyumans included) and then as Zyuohgers. TV STORY-Ep. 43: The Witnesses of Christmas Mario used his time overseas to make his own Zyuohger costume and helmet, dubbing himself Zyuoh human. When he returned to Japan and Yamato explained why him fighting would be either a bad idea or impossible, Mario decided instead to work on ensuring that his Zyuman guests were given all the comfort they deserved while living with him. TV STORY-Ep. 44: Monarch of the Humans
Mario offers bananas to Larry.
True to his word, Mario worked with the Zyumans in making dishes that suited their Zyuman appetites, such as Jungle rice with Tusk. Later, having gone out shopping, Mario returned home where he met Larry, a gorilla Zyuman. Introducing himself as Zyuoh Human, Mario offered a bunch of bananas to Larry, who graciously accepted. TV STORY-Ep. 45: Lifted Seal
Mario later thanked Amu into pushing Yamato to reconnect with his father, beleiving it to be long overdue. When the Zyuohgers confronted Ginis, Mario was shown at the kitchen table praying for their success. TV STORY-Ep. 47: The Last Game After their victory is apparent, Mario reflects on how quiet the house will be without the four Zyumans living there like they had been for a year.
However, upon the merging of Earth and Zyuland, three Zyumans apparated right inside Mario's house. Although there was initial panic, Mario soon succeeded in befriending them as they appreciated some of the animal artwork that Mario had made and kept on display.

Personality[]
An eccentric individual, Mario often wears costumes and impersonates the animal he is about to sculpt to channel creative inspiration for his art, much to the embarrassment of his nephew Yamato at times.
As an artist, Mario seems more concerned with emotional expression and seeing the world as it should be rather than as it is. However, he also reminds Yamato that he cannot do the same because he is a scientist.
Mario is a caring and nurturing person, having sheltered Yamato when the latter decided to run away from home. When he discovered the Zyuohgers' secret, he admired their unique qualities and promised to ensure they always have a home to return to after a long fight.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
The Sentai of Unsung Hero.
Mario Mori is portrayed by Susumu Terajima (寺島 進 Terajima Susumu), who previously portrayed Goro Unno, a suit actor who served as the Pink of a pastiche Sentai Team in the film Unsung Hero (2014). Mario's "transformation" into the pink-colored Zyuoh Human is an in-joke reference to this.
Design[]
In the Korean dub of Zyuohger entitled Power Rangers Animal Force, which aired in South Korea, his Ranger designation is Human Ranger.
Etymology[]
- Mario's surname, Mori (森), means forest in Japanese.
Notes[]
- Mario assuming the Zyuoh Human guise harkens back to the first episode, where Yamato considers humans are animals too, and dominate an aspect of the world.
