The Ozu family

The family as a whole

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/majiren_group.jpg

Turning overflowing courage into magic!

Badass Family: A legendary warrior, his magician wife and children, and his student, all ready to fight anything in their way. Especially in the finale, during which all of them transform and fight together at once as a Super Family Team.
Berserk Button: Hurt any member of the family and the others will quickly make sure you regret it.
Best Friends-in-Law: Needless to say, Urara's siblings are pretty thrilled at the idea of Hikaru becoming their brother-in-law instead of just their teacher.
Contrasting Sequel Main Character:
- While Dekarangers are a police team that ulitize alien tech in their battles, the Magirangers are a sibling team whose powers are of magical origin.
- They are a Super Sentai family like the Fivemen and GoGoV, but the Magirangers' red-colored member is the youngest sibling. Also, unlike their predecessors, the Magirangers are joined by their parents and a future in-law.
Deceased Parents Are the Best: As far as parenting style is concerned, the siblings have nothing bad to say about their parents whatsoever; at worst, their father being constantly busy for the first few years of their lives and absent for the rest has left them with a certain amount of loneliness, but Makito remembers him as having been loving and supportive whenever he was present. Miyuki is likewise described as nothing but a kind and loving mother. Even after both of them turn out to be Not Quite Dead, the siblings seem to have no hard feelings and are just happy to have both parents back.
Disappeared Dad: The siblings' father disappeared fifteen years prior to the start of the series; Miyuki had told them that he'd disappeared on an expedition to Antartica, but he'd actually pulled a Heroic Sacrifice to seal the gate to Infershia. Makito is the only of the siblings to have fairly clear memories of him, while Houka, Urara, and Tsubasa only barely got to see him and Kai doesn't even remember him at all. After he's rescued, he returns to the family and stays with them.
Earn Your Happy Ending: After the siblings lose their father, lose their mother, end up being forced to fight their father and lose him again, then reunite with both parents only for their father and Urara's newlywed husband to die in battle, they finally manage to defeat N Ma and be a family again. With both mother and father returned, the siblings no longer have to worry about supporting the others as much and are free to pursue their own individual dreams, but they continue to have strong bonds as a family.
Elemental Powers: Each of them has an element they're aligned with based on Personality Powers (and, in the case of the human magicians, their patron Heavenly Saint): Kai and Isamu/Blagel with fire, Tsubasa with lightning, Urara with water, Houka with wind, Makito with earth, Hikaru/Sungel with the sun, and Miyuki with snow.
Embarrassing Animal Suit: The family's Christmas tradition is to have the boys wear these or similarly embarrassing costumes (the girls wear a more modest version of the Sexy Santa Dress instead). The siblings have no shame about it whatsoever, but Hikaru is less than enthusiastic when they drag him into it.
Generation Xerox: In particular, Kai takes after his father, and Urara takes after her mother, down to having similar Elemental Powers (Kai sharing his father's element of fire, while Urara's element of water is related to her mother's element of snow). This is not necessarily an accident, given that the two of them particularly admire their parents and actively try to imitate their behavior. Further reinforced when Urara falls in love with and marries her father's disciple, Hikaru; Miyuki notices the similarity to herself and Isamu and uses it to give Hikaru some advice.
Happily Married: Miyuki and Isamu. Miyuki's love for Isamu never faded one bit after fifteen years. She also knows him well enough that she's able to recognize him as Wolzard when nobody else, including his own disciples, could, and on the flip side Isamu loves his wife so much that she momentarily even broke his brainwashing.
- By the time of the epilogue a year later, Hikaru and Urara are going strong enough for Urara to move out and go live with Hikaru and Smoky in Magitopia. Hikaru apparently still enjoys showing off his wife all the way in 2021.
Interspecies Romance: Heavenly Saints are basically angel-like beings with very inhuman-looking appearances, with their human forms mainly being used to do business in the human world or when interacting with humans as A Form You Are Comfortable With, thus making the romance and marriage between Miyuki (a human) and Heavenly Saint Blagel one of these. Later, it happens again with their human daughter Urara starting a romance with and marrying Hikaru, also known as Heavenly Saint Sungel.
Massive Numbered Siblings: Miyuki and Isamu clearly loved each other enough to have five children in the span of seven years!
Meaningful Name: On top of the siblings' Punny Names, the kanji in their name also play on their respective personalities or elements: Kai's name means "charging forward", Tsubasa's means "wing", Urara's "beauty", Houka's "fragrance" or "perfume", and Makito's "sower". Miyuki gets in on it as well, with her name meaning "deep snow". Hikaru's is an invoked example, with his name meaning "light", and Isamu's, meaning "bravery", is implied to be as well.
Merlin and Nimue: This is basically Hikaru's relationship with the siblings, especially Urara, who becomes more to the letter with this trope when she gets romantically involved with him.
Orphan's Ordeal: A good portion of the series involves the siblings coping with their mother's death and the void left by their long-departed father; the three older siblings are legal adults, and they manage to get by thanks to Makito and Urara taking parental roles, but the emotional void left behind is still heavy. Both of them turn out to be Not Quite Dead in the end.
Perpetual Poverty: Downplayed; because Houka burns through all of her modeling gig earnings quickly and nobody else has income, Makito's farm is sustaining an entire household of five (later six when Hikaru joins in as a freeloader), meaning they don't have the luxury to spend money frivolously. The issue only comes up directly in one Broke Episode when Makito loses the month's earnings, implying that they have enough to get by as long as he earns a stable amount, but Urara is occasionally seen fussing about the family's finances every so often, and she complains about not having a lot of money to spend for herself during Stage 27's Breaking the Fellowship crisis.
The Power of Family: The entire theme of the series is about their bonds as family and overcoming hardships through familial love, to a much more story-relevant degree than its two predecessors. While there's some minor bickering and disagreements here and there, the family is very openly affectionate and supportive of each other, and their familial bonds are so strong that even Shichijuurou magically cutting them off ends up in them re-forming them anyway. It also does a great job breaking through brainwashing.
Punny Name: String together the first syllable of each sibling's name by oldest to youngest and you get "mahoutsukai", then add it to their surname of Ozu and you get "ozu no mahoutsukai", or the Wizard of Oz.
Promotion to Parent: Urara and Makito are the primary parental figures for the siblings in the absence of their actual parents, but in Stage 13 all five of them agree that they're all chipping in to support each other.
Secret Legacy: The story begins with the siblings finding out that their father is actually a legendary warrior and training in magic to follow in his footsteps.
Semi-Divine: The siblings are children of a human and Heavenly Saint, although for the most part they're pretty much ordinary humans with a slightly higher affinity for magic; while they're capable of being more powerful than their mother Miyuki, they still have to contract with patron Heavenly Saints to use magic, and the Magitopian view of them is more as "Blagel's human children" than anything. Their magic eventually becomes strong enough for them to potentially become Heavenly Saints themselves, although this is something that can allegedly happen with any human who gains high enough magical power; since becoming Heavenly Saints could result in them losing their earthly memories, the siblings opt to have a Power Limiter put on them to keep them human, but it's implied in Stage 47 that there's still risk of their powers going out of control if they're emotionally compromised enough.
Shipper on Deck: Generally, when one sibling develops a Love Interest, the others are quick to support them; if they're not, it's probably because they're legitimately worried about the relevant sibling's welfare, such as worrying about Eriko being cruel to Makito, or Makito being understandably apprehensive when it looks like Houka's about to enter a Fourth-Date Marriage. Otherwise, the others waste no time in giving Kai support regarding his interest in Yamazaki, and by the end of the series, the entire family is shipping Urara and Hikaru.
Sibling Team: Due to both of their parents being gone, the Magirangers consist of the five siblings at the beginning of the series. Once Hikaru joins as their Sixth Ranger, he operates as their teacher and sometimes goes off to do things independently, meaning the remaining five still end up acting together as a unit. The end of the series has both parents return and Hikaru marrying into the family, making them into a full-fledged Badass Family.
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The Distant Finale shows us how each member of the family is following their own dreams a year after the series, with further details added by the Final Live Tour and post-series crossover material:
- Now reunited, Miyuki and Isamu keep the home open for their children to come visit.
- Kai safely graduates high school and decides to become an ambassador to Infershia; his reasoning is that he wants to help them have as good of a relationship with the Surface World and Magitopia as they have with each other, and to teach others about the courage his family taught him.
- Tsubasa picks up boxing again and starts pursuing the championship, although he also serves as a temporary lecturer at a British magic school at least once.
- Urara goes to live with Hikaru and Smoky in Magitopia, helping Hikaru in his efforts to rebuild his world and dealing with her new "in-law" Heavenly Saints.
- With Urara moving out, Houka continues to live with her parents for a while to practice household responsibility and have more experience with romantic commitment; eventually, she marries a husband and has a daughter named Fuuka, juggling work as a fashion model, hero, and mother.
- Makito starts pursuing his dream of bringing Aniki Farms overseas, studying Spanish and Portuguese.
- Having married Urara, Hikaru becomes a full-fledged member of the family and considers Urara's siblings to also be his own.
- Because Infershia still has remnants causing trouble, the family continues to get together and fight even years later.

Kai Ozu/MagiRed

Portrayed by: Atsushi Hashimoto (live), Seiji Takaiwa (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kai_1.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magired.png

The youngest of the Ozu siblings, and the only one to still be in high school. While he tends to act recklessly due to his youth and immaturity, his heart is in the right place, and while he's not The Leader by any means, the series serves as his Coming of Age Story as he matures with the help of his family. He's considered to be the most like his father, Blagel, and he aspires to be as courageous and strong as him.

As the Red Magician, he has the power of fire (the same as his father) and a magic specialty in alchemy.

Acquired Situational Narcissism: A mild case in Stage 41; Snowgel tells Hikaru that there's something he needs to learn from Kai, which sets Kai on a minor ego trip about the fact he's going to be the teacher for once (despite not even knowing himself what he's supposed to be teaching him). In the end, Snowgel was right and Hikaru was the one who needed to learn more humility, but Kai rubbing it in his face really didn't do much to help his initial frustration.
- He also gets ahead of himself during the Gold GripPhone DVD special, during which he completely fails an Honest Axe offer and starts going on a power trip, getting himself punished by being turned into a copy of Spider.
Affectionate Nickname: Since he has multiple older brothers and sisters, he refers to Tsubasa and Urara as "chii-nii" and "chii-nee" respectively, with the "chii" being short for "chiisai" ("small"); in other words, he's affectionately calling them "smaller older brother/sister".
Alchemy Is Magic: His magic specialty, which is basically turning objects into other objects or a limited degree of The Power of Creation.
Annoying Younger Sibling: Downplayed; while his older siblings (especially Tsubasa) can sometimes see him this way due to his immaturity, they all ultimately love him dearly and have a huge amount of investment in helping him grow. Kai, for his part, has no qualms about being openly affectionate towards his siblings when they're not bickering. Exemplified in the first episode when Kai's recklessness lands him on TV:
(Kai, still hanging off a pole, turns to face the camera and waves cheerfully)
Tsubasa: Oh, man, it's our idiot.
The Baby of the Bunch: He's the only of the siblings to still be in high school, and on a meta level, he was also the youngest Sentai Red at the time the series aired, a position that wouldn't be unambiguously^note contested until Kiramager's Juru a whole fifteen years later. Miyuki initially doesn't allow him to use magic because she's worried about him being too young and immature.
Big Little Brother: Atsushi Hashimoto was the tallest (175 cm and still growing over the course of the series) of the actors playing the Ozu siblings, despite both actor and character being the youngest in the group. Within the actual series, perspective shots and Hashimoto/Kai's baby face manage to make this not too conspicuous, but you'd be forgiven for looking at a picture of the Magirangers in their suits and not realizing MagiRed is actually The Baby of the Bunch^note.
Book Dumb: His academics are poor enough for Tsubasa to threaten to stop him from fighting as a Magiranger at some point (fortunately, nothing comes of it). He manages to safely graduate by the time of the Final Live Tour.
Coming of Age Story: The series functionally serves as this for him. Since he's The Baby of the Bunch, a large part of the story is about his family and family friends helping him grow into the best person he can. By the end of the series, Kai has gone from being the kid his mother worried was too immature to handle magic to an interdimensional ambassador and family representative.
Cool Sword: MagiStick Sword Mode
Determinator: "Chance is something you make yourself." Kai takes his father's words more seriously than anyone else, and even with his back pushed against a wall, he will find a way to make another chance to win.
Dogged Nice Guy: He asks Yamazaki out early in the series, but she turns him down in favor of MagiRed; after some initial frustration, he takes it in stride and continues to maintain a good relationship with her afterwards. Unknown to him, Yamazaki figures out his identity during the events of the movie, and in Stage 40 she hints she might be more open to it than he thinks.
Establishing Character Moment: His first scene has him getting himself on TV for recklessly climbing a building to fetch a balloon he'd accidentally caused a girl to let go of, making it immediately clear that while he's reckless and immature, he also has a strong sense of responsibility and a good heart.
Extremely Protective Child: He's the most openly upset about Miyuki's death and the most righteously angry at Wolzard for killing her, and he's also the one most enthusiastic about Blagel's legacy and good name. The revelation that Wolzard is Blagel breaks his brain for a little bit, but once all is settled he goes back to being very protective of both of his parents. During the finale, while all of the siblings are upset at the sight of their father's dead body, Kai takes it the hardest to Heroic BSoD.
Fatal Flaw: Impulsive and reckless behavior. His proactiveness serves him well in the sense that he can make it into Improvisational Ingenuity and be a Determinator when need be, but due to his immaturity he can go about it in a sloppy or short-sighted way, often making things worse.
Generation Xerox: Played with. Kai is identified as having the potential to be most like his father in terms of his courageousness and shared element (fire), and he's the most enthusiastic about following in his father's footsteps and taking his philosophy of "chance is something you make yourself" to heart; however, he is still an immature teenager, so he has a lot of growing to do before he can show off that potential. His appearance in the finale and in his Gokaiger cameo have him wearing clothing similar to Isamu's, and in the latter appearance he has a mature and dignified demeanor like that of his father's.
Heroic BSoD: During the finale, with both of his parents (seemingly) dead, N Ma having eaten up all of time, and basically having lost almost everything, Kai gets very close to losing all hope whatsoever (after an entire series of being very good at not giving up). After some encouragement from his siblings, who remind him of everything he'd learned over the course of the series and how much faith they have in him, he gets himself together enough to start turning the situation around.
Hidden Depths: He seems like a brash and immature kid at first, but he's actually quite capable of being insightful and his heart is in the right place; some of his focus episodes involve him being the one to give some much-needed advice and pep talks to his older siblings. Multiple characters comment that he has the potential to be much like his father, and Stages 41-42 suggest that his tendency towards Suicidal Overconfidence is a more reckless version of his father's philosophy that "chance is something you make yourself." It's implied his immaturity mostly comes from the fact he's still a young teenager; his appearance as an adult in Gokaiger has him come off as much more mature and put-together, implying he mellowed out as he got older.
Honest Axe: He gets offered a parody of the trope when a goddess taking the form of Miyuki offers him a choice between a golden GripPhone or a silver MagiPhone (the correct answer being neither, since it was Kai's normal MagiPhone that was dropped into the spring). Kai ignores Hikaru's warnings and goes for the golden GripPhone, and naturally ends up paying for it miserably.
Hot-Blooded: Not as much as some Reds, but he tends to run headlong into things. And when he gets mad...
Idiot Hero: There's a good reason Tsubasa sums him up as "our idiot" in the first episode.
"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: After Blagel is re-brainwashed into Wolzard in Stage 34, all of the siblings try this, but the tipping point is when even Kai (who'd spent most of the episode refusing to accept Wolzard as his father) eventually breaks down crying into a sobbing wreck begging him to come back.
In Name Only: MagiPhoenix is, at best, a phoenix-themed warrior. Unlike the others, the phoenix is almost never portrayed as a humanoid figure.
Jumped at the Call: He wasted no time in wanting to join his family in fighting as a Magiranger, but Miyuki initially refused to give him a MagiPhone until he proved his courage.
Keet: He's brash and reckless, but he's also as affectionate as a puppy when it comes to his family or Yamazaki.
Law of Chromatic Superiority: Despite him being the youngest of the five siblings. He gets the main dramatic moments and is the only Ranger who can combine with Barikion or Unigolon. He's also repeatedly commented on in-series as having the most potential to follow in his father's footsteps, and thus having the most potential overall.
- Interestingly, unlike what this trope usually suggests in regards to Sentai Reds, Kai is noticeably not The Leader, since he's the youngest sibling; the "leader" is the oldest, Makito. However, Kai's Coming of Age Story is at the center of the narrative, and his siblings focus on him because they all want to make sure their kid brother does well. This is reflected in him being last in the roll call, giving him a different sort of conspicuous prominence from other Sentai Reds who are usually first.
Matchstick Weapon: He can shoot fire through his Magic Wand or Super Mode exclusive Magic Staff.
Oblivious to Love: In an ironic twist, by the time of Stage 40, he's seemingly oblivious to Yamazaki's hints that she's figured out his identity as MagiRed... and might still be interested in her "beloved magician".
Paper-Thin Disguise: MagiRed's helmet covers his face, but Kai tends to easily forget he's supposed to be under a Secret Identity and acts exactly the same way he would as Kai when interacting with Yamazaki. Considering he has a distinctive tendency to act like an excited puppy, it's hard to imagine she wouldn't figure it out quickly. In fact, this is exactly how she ends up figuring it out; she's implied to have already started suspecting in Stage 25, and ultimately confirms it in the movie when he ends up acting too much like Kai for there to be any doubt. Kai himself has no idea that he accidentally spilled it.
- Even when in a "Freaky Friday" Flip situation, his immediate reaction to hearing Yamazaki voicing her thoughts about his behavior is to grab her hands and promise to do better, only to remember that Yamazaki thinks he's Houka and hastily claim to be speaking on her brother's behalf.
Playing with Fire: His signature moves and mecha transformations are all themed around fire. It's one of the clearest signs of how he takes after his father.
Power Incontinence: Kai occasionally uses Blagel's special techniques entirely on accident, presumably due to being his son and sharing an element with him.
Psychic Link: Wolzard sometimes sends messages to him through his head, which only he can hear (meaning his other siblings initially don't believe Kai at first when he says he can hear Wolzard's voice). Interestingly, Wolzard himself doesn't seem to know why only Kai can hear him. It's probably because of their shared elemental affinity and similar temperaments.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The red to Tsubasa's blue.
Serious Business: Soccer. His conflict with Yamazaki in Stages 39-40 has to do with him taking soccer too seriously to the point he's started to get overly harsh on his other teammates, and Yamazaki (and indirectly Houka) has to remind him to be more considerate of the others and remember that they're playing the sport for fun.
Signature Move: Red Fire, which is pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
Shipper on Deck: Houka learns about his crush on Yamazaki and starts trying to "help" them get together over the course of Stage 5. By the time of the movie, all of his siblings are supporting him on this.
Suicidal Overconfidence: Kai's main character flaw, which diminishes with time in accordance with his Character Development.
Tell Me About My Father: Kai is repeatedly commented on by other characters as being the most like his father and the one with most potential to follow in his footsteps, but Kai himself was too young to remember him before he left and has to learn about him from the others' hearsay. Naturally, Kai is very interested in hearing about his father's great accomplishments and what he was like, with this trope name even being used word-for-word in Stage 33. This is why learning that Wolzard is actually a brainwashed Isamu hurts him the most out of all of the siblings; followed by a brief period of Broken Pedestal-induced distrust, Kai eventually breaks down into a crying wreck begging his father to come back because while the other siblings at least were able to spend some time with Isamu before he left, Kai's only memories of his father are of fighting him as an enemy, and he can't stand it.
Two-Person Love Triangle: He confesses his feelings to Yamazaki, only to get turned down in favor of... MagiRed. He's obviously not pleased about this, but he can't tell her he's actually MagiRed in order to uphold The Masquerade. Moreover, it's implied she would be more interested in him if not for her "beloved magician" coming back for her. The script flips when Yamazaki figures out herself that they're actually the same person, but decides not to tell him she knows, leaving their future prospects hopeful but ambiguous.
Wedding Smashers: He barges in right when Glum do Bridon is about to finish tying the knot with a hypnotized Yamazaki, riding his father's white horse, and uses a well-aimed soccer ball-esque magic kick to quite literally smash through the altar and snap Yamazaki out of her hypnosis.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Downplayed. After Isamu returns to his family, Kai, who had been told the entire series that he had potential to be like his father and having formed a Rebuilt Pedestal under him, starts trying to prove he can fight toe-to-toe alongside him at the beginning of Stage 48. While Isamu doesn't dismiss him, he is the battle-hardened Heavenly Saint Blagel, so he doesn't hold back on giving Kai harsh constructive criticism on what he needs to become stronger. It's done out of love and concern for him, but Kai is somewhat demoralized by the criticism until Miyuki reminds him that he still has as much potential as his father did.
Youngest Child Wins: The youngest of the five gets to be the Red Ranger.
You're Not My Father: The dissonance between Wolzard, the person he despises for killing his mother, and Blagel, the father he'd been proud of and admired this whole time, being the same person breaks him enough that he initially refuses to acknowledge Blagel as his father despite it being very obvious what actually happened. By the end, though, the evidence is staring him so hard in the face that even he acknowledges it, breaking down crying and admitting that he's upset that the only memories he has of his father are of fighting him.

Tsubasa Ozu/MagiYellow

Portrayed by: Hiroya Matsumoto (live), Yasuhiko Imai (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tsubasa_7.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magiyellow.png

The second youngest of the Ozu siblings, and a former boxer who had to put his training aside so he could fight as a Magiranger. Although he puts on a detached front and is The Snark Knight extraordinaire, he's actually very compassionate and emotionally sensitive, simply hiding it behind an abrasive exterior. His calmer and more pragmatic personality often leads to him bickering with Kai, but the two ultimately care as deeply about each other as they do their other sibilings.

As the Yellow Magician, he has the power of lightning and a magic specialty in potion making.

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: He bickers with Kai often and loves to throw insults at him, but make no mistake, Tsubasa does care about Kai and will go to great lengths to help him when he's in trouble.
Badass Teacher: Ten series later, he travels to England as a guest instructor in a magic school, where a certain Yakumo Kato ends up being one of his students. Despite him having only been a temporary lecturer, Yakumo apparently likes him enough that he was excited to be paired up with him in Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen, only to be disappointed when he got someone else who happens to look like him.
Boxing Battler: He enjoys boxing, and momentarily put it aside specifically to concentrate on fighting as a Magiranger. Thanks to that, he's the original user of the MagiPunch gloves. After the events of the series, he returns to boxing and starts going pro.
Buffy Speak: His potions have names like "Alarming Wake-Up Call Potion", "Thoughtful Thought-Recalling Potion" (in this case "thoughtful" means it doesn't taste bitter), and "Super-Strong Super Skill-Learning Potion". He's not the one who originally named the potions, but he'll recite their names with a completely straight face.
Comfort the Dying: By the time he'd met Rei, she'd already long been killed by Neries and there's nothing he can do to save her, but he's at least able to make her spirit happy and give her one more chance to truly sing for herself before she passes on.
Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Stages 23-24 involve Tsubasa resorting to forbidden time magic in order to save a friend and figure out how to defeat the Monster of the Week. This results in his body becoming a conduit for a potential Time Crash that can only be prevented by killing him. Hikaru acknowledges that he probably hadn't done enough to clarify what the actual consequences of using forbidden magic would be, so he takes responsibility for Tsubasa's actions and gets very close to pulling a Heroic Sacrifice to save him. Fortunately, this ends up becoming unnecessary, but Hikaru warns him that this kind of thing has the potential to get you Drunk on the Dark Side, a lesson Tsubasa takes to heart.
Dub Name Change: "Jonah" in the Korean dub.
Eye of Newt: His wake-up potion requires "a banana grown while being serenaded with a song" (it has to be a nice one or else the banana will attack), "a single liter of unpolluted water from an polluted spring", and "the honey from a queen bee that's never gathered nectar before". Makito, Urara, and Houka manage to get them using their magic abilities (with some difficulty).
Fatal Flaw: Lack of emotional composure. Despite (or perhaps because of) his tendency to cover it up with a Stepford Snarker attitude, when he snaps, he snaps hard, leading to things like resorting to forbidden magic out of desperation to save a friend or having a dramatic Heroic BSoD at a time any of his other siblings would handle it better.
Heartbroken Badass: The death of Rei in Stage 28 leaves him so upset that he doesn't even have it in him to do anything but stare into space during the episode's Magic Spell Corner (a portion that usually doesn't have much shame in inducing Mood Whiplash).
Heroic BSoD: Has an absolutely massive one in Stage 38 after seeing Cyclops seemingly kill his siblings one by one in front of his eyes. After a bit of a pep talk from Kai, he gets back on his feet and proceeds to shoot Cyclops right in the face.
I Did What I Had to Do: Played with. This is Tsubasa's rationale for why he uses forbidden time magic despite Hikaru warning him not to, believing he needed it to save his friend from the Monster of the Week. The problem is that Tsubasa hadn't actually bothered to put much thought into trying to find another way, naively assuming Hikaru had only been avoiding it out of cowardice; Hikaru regrets not being clearer about the consequences of using dark magic (in this case, a full-on Time Crash or at least someone's Heroic Sacrifice) and warns him that this is the first step into getting Drunk on the Dark Side.
Inferiority Superiority Complex: He tries to act "cool", but it's a front to cover for the fact he's actually the most emotionally insecure of the siblings. He's forced to own up to it during the events of Stage 38 when it looks like his older siblings have all gotten killed by Cyclops.
Tsubasa: I'm just barely holding it together! Everyone's dead!
Kai: You didn't do anything wrong!
Tsubasa: It's all my fault. All 'cause I was showin' off! 'Cause I wanted to be cool! My brother and sisters were right in front of me, and I couldn't save them! I'm...I'm irresponsible... I'm a worthless idiot!
It's All My Fault: Upon realizing that Hikaru intends on performing a Heroic Sacrifice to save him from the consequences of using dark magic, Tsubasa drags himself over to follow him despite being on death's door, pleading with him that he was the one at fault for using the forbidden spell and that there's no reason Hikaru should have to die for his actions. Tsubasa's not wrong about the fact he'd ignored Hikaru's warnings and brought this on himself, but Hikaru considers it his duty as his teacher to take responsibility so Tsubasa can live and do better.
- He's also not happy to learn that his own immaturity in neglecting to take care of Kai two years prior was such a degree of My Greatest Failure for Makito that it's holding him back from pursuing his dream to take his agriculture business abroad.
- Stage 38 has Tsubasa snap hard when Makito entrusts him with the safety of his siblings, only for Makito, Houka, and Urara to all seemingly be shot dead by Cyclops. Tsubasa breaks down crying so badly that Kai has to intervene to snap him out of it.
Japanese Delinquents: A flashback from two years prior shows that a much more irresponsible Tsubasa had traces of this with a loosely dressed uniform and slicked-back hair, ditching his responsibility to take care of the home in Makito's absence, staying over at a friend's place for the night, and laughing off the fact Kai had nearly gotten killed. It seems to have been a phase, since by the time of the series Tsubasa has mostly cleaned up his act (and isn't exactly proud of that incident).
The Lancer: He's much less reckless than Kai and quick to criticize, so a lot of his constant annoyance with Kai comes from their contrasting personalities.
"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Stage 12 has Houka completely turned into Vancuria's mind-controlled slave, with Vancuria taunting Tsubasa that Houka can't hear him anymore. Tsubasa refuses to accept that and continues reaching out to her, bringing Houka back just enough for her to give Tsubasa an opening to shoot Vancuria and completely break her hold on Houka.
Magic Potion: His magic specialty. His potions are mostly used for healing purposes, but they can also provide other benefits like Super-Speed or memory restoration. He can also synthesize non-liquid objects, such as crystals, as long as he has the recipe.
Middle Child Syndrome: He's in an awkward position between Kai, who's The Baby of the Bunch, and Urara and Makito, who are the siblings' more responsible parental figures. Stage 37 in particular highlights that he's expected to be the Team Dad for his siblings when Makito is absent, and he's not very good with the pressure.
Momma's Boy: While it isn't directly brought up in the series, Matsumoto was told to play Tsubasa with this in mind. In the series itself, this can be seen with him being visibly needy and emotional when it comes to issues regarding Miyuki's death or her eventual rescue.
Not So Above It All: Contrary to his usual harsh demeanor, when he's emotionally distressed or under pressure, he tends to take it the hardest among all of the siblings and start acting out of desperation. He's infamous for getting some of the most emotionally brutal episodes in the series mainly due to how badly he takes it.
- A good amount of his character arc makes it increasingly clear that while he initially seems to be much more mature than Kai due to his temperament, in many ways he's actually not that much better. Only two years prior (when Tsubasa was Kai's age), Kai had gotten mauled by a bear, but Tsubasa's only response was protesting that he couldn't be responsible for his brother's welfare at all times (contrast this with Kai, whose reckless behavior in the first episode was because his sense of responsibility was too strong). By the time of the series, Tsubasa's improved enough that he manages to prove to Makito he can do better, but it takes him an entire emotional breakdown and Heroic BSoD to get there.
Only Sane Man: Depending on the situation, when his other siblings get emotionally heated and unable to think straight, his level-headedness helps them get back on track (most beautifully demonstrated in Stage 39, when he deliberately exploits Mandra Boy's Brown Note to get everyone to calm down so they can iron out the details of Kai and Houka's "Freaky Friday" Flip situation). He's also the most pragmatic of the siblings, and while he's not a pessimist, he reins them in when they get too ahead of themselves.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Their actual colors aside, he's the abrasive, levelheaded blue to Kai's Keet red, to the point his assigned Mirror Character in Magiranger vs. Dekaranger is the more traditionally blue-associated Hoji.
Sibling Rivalry: Combined with his rather acerbic personality, the fact he's the closest to Kai's age makes them have a relationship that can be described as the sibling version of Vitriolic Best Buds. Notably, he rarely calls Kai by name, usually resorting to a very blunt "you" when addressing him.
Shock and Awe: He can conjure lightning.
Signature Move: Yellow Thunder, which lets him fire a lightning arrow from his crossbow.
The Smart Guy: He basically shares the "level-headed sibling" role with Urara, and he's the one primarily responsible for saving Houka from vampirism through a considerable amount of deduction.
The Snark Knight: His tongue is so sharp that it's the first thing Hikaru notices about him, but he's not particularly arrogant and in fact is very quick to break down into It's All My Fault when he messes up. Even his dabbling into forbidden dark magic wasn't for his own sake, but because a friend was in trouble and he was desperate. He's not even all that cynical compared to his siblings; he just tries to pretend he cares less than he actually does.
Star-Crossed Lovers: Stage 28 has him falling in love with a girl named Rei, and she does seem to return his feelings, but it doesn't work out because she's already long dead by the episode. The only reason that she's still "alive" is because of the Monster of the Week using her voice to lure in people for her to eat, and once she's defeated the only option left is for Rei to pass onto the afterlife. Tsubasa is left in shambles.
Stepford Snarker: He's abrasive enough that he initially seems to be a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, but as the series goes on it becomes clear he's actually this; he's quite a compassionate person and can get deeply emotional, and he just tends to bury it under layers of criticism.

Urara Ozu/MagiBlue

Portrayed by: Asami Kai (live), Mizuho Nogawa (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/urara.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magiblue.png

The middle Ozu sibling, and the one said to take after their mother the most. Highly intelligent, kind, and responsible, she willingly assumes the role of the siblings' mother figure after the loss of Miyuki, but struggles with it due to still being young herself. While she's usually the most strong-willed of the siblings, she also has a tendency to bury her worries and stress, and as a result she's easily the most terrifying when angry.

As the Blue Magician, she has the power of water and a magic specialty in fortune telling.

Anguished Declaration of Love: Dealing with the knowledge that Hikaru plans to go back to Magitopia and not return and seeing him attempt to pull a She Is Not My Girlfriend, Urara finally delivers one of these to him in Stage 47. Hikaru initially pushes her away out of fear that he'll be causing her pain if he dies in the upcoming fight, but after a pep talk from Miyuki and some time to think he accepts her feelings with a Love Confession of his own.
Battle Couple: With Hikaru near the end.
Beware the Nice Ones: While she's one of the more agreeable of the siblings and easy to get along with, her family all knows she's the one you should fear the most if you anger her. Most infamously, in Stage 10, after seeing Eriko insult Makito and learning she'd put him on a Snipe Hunt:
Kai: I'm gonna go talk to her!
Urara: (with a stone-cold expression): That's not enough. I'm gonna go punch her. (starts running in to do exactly that)
Tsubasa: Urara's pissed!
Children Do the Housework: She assisted Miyuki with housework prior to the series' start, and once the siblings are left on their own she takes care of most of the cooking and cleaning as part of her Promotion to Parent. Miyuki starts cooking again after she returns, and after Urara moves to Magitopia with Hikaru, it's implied Houka picked up cooking in her absence.
Clingy Jealous Girl: In Stage 22, Urara starts acting unusually angry at the idea of Hikaru and Houka seemingly having a date and kissing in Kyoto, to the point of dragging all of her siblings there with her. Since this is only two episodes after Hikaru's introduction and Urara starting off on the wrong foot with him, it can initially be taken as My Sister Is Off-Limits... until further developments in Hikaru and Urara's relationship make it clear it's actually this.
Comfort Food: During a particularly nasty fight between the siblings and Hikaru in Stage 36, Urara makes and brings out apple pie made with Miyuki's recipe, the significance being that when the siblings were young kids, Miyuki would make them apple pie whenever a fight between them escalated and get them to calm down. The siblings recognize what Urara's doing immediately and stop fighting, and (after some prodding) once Hikaru tries the pie and learns about its meaning from Houka, he manages to calm down, apologize, and reconsider his stance (and have a bit of a moment with Urara).
Damsel in Distress: With Jasmine in Magiranger vs. Dekaranger.
Dub Name Change: "Miho" in the Korean dub.
Everyone Can See It: The audience gets to see a few moments of Ship Tease here and there, but by the time of Stage 47, apparently Urara and Hikaru's mutual feelings for each other were obvious enough to the entire rest of the family that they were waiting for them to hook up already.
Fatal Flaw: Not being honest about her feelings and bottling everything up. Usually, it's because she doesn't want to burden others, but sometimes it's just plain insecurity (for instance, she tried to pretend she wasn't interested in acting as a profession because she felt she wasn't the right type of person for it).
Feminine Women Can Cook: Takes after her mother in this. Her relationship with Hikaru takes somewhat of a step forward over some of her apple pie.
Fortune Teller: This is what her magic specialty is officially described as, but in practice it's mostly using a Crystal Ball to track down enemies or things she's looking for. The only thing that keeps it from being full-on Surveillance as the Plot Demands is that the crystal ball can sometimes give her images that are only relevant to what the siblings need via Insane Troll Logic (for instance, depicting insects that camouflage as plants to indicate that the Monster of the Week can mimic objects).
Friend-or-Idol Decision: After being offered a part in a movie, she accepts the offer after some encouragement from Houka, but when the Monster of the Week attacks she can't bear the thought of leaving her siblings to fight without her and quits, despite Houka having encouraged her to stay behind while the others take care of it. Urara's rationale is that she'd taken the role in the first place because she'd decided to be more honest about her feelings, but at that moment her feelings were telling her that she'd rather be fighting alongside her family.
Generation Xerox: She's the Ozu sibling who takes after their mother the most, to the point of directly applying some of Miyuki's parenting methods in her role as the Team Mom (for instance, using Miyuki's apple pie recipe to calm them down from a dispute). Like her mother, she also falls for a Heavenly Saint in what's implied to have been a very similar romance dynamic to that of her parents.
Like Parent, Like Spouse: Out of the siblings, Urara is the one who most clearly takes after her mother in temperament, while Hikaru is the student of her father and thus took much of his life philosophy to heart; thus, it's implied they fell for each other for pretty much the same reasons Miyuki and Isamu did. Miyuki recognizes this and draws the comparison to give Hikaru advice.
Love at First Sight: Despite the bad note she and Hikaru start off on, Stage 47 has the other Ozu siblings confirm that they could tell she liked him from the very beginning; it's implied that her initial bad reaction to him came mostly from the awkward circumstances behind their first meeting, since she'd started openly warming up to him as soon as his Hidden Depths started showing.
Magic Kiss: Hikaru's curse required a "blue magician" to kiss him in order to break it. Urara was able to telepathically hear a mysterious frog asking for a kiss, but she didn't know the details and only ended up doing it out of gratitude for saving her life.
- True Love's Kiss: Played with. Since Hikaru's Curse Escape Clause specifically needed a "blue magician", asking Urara to kiss him was more of a matter of pragmatism than it was romance, but the episode being a Whole-Plot Reference to The Frog Prince makes it obvious that this is the motif. Shortly after, Hikaru teases Urara about it and reminds her that she'd said she can only kiss someone she likes, and while this earns him a flustered (attempt at a) slap in the face from her, this kicks off a series of Ship Tease events over the rest of the series as they build a relationship. It's later revealed that they'd both fallen in Love at First Sight, and them finally getting a Relationship Upgrade and marrying in Stage 47 solidifies it as retroactively being this trope.
Making a Splash: Her elemental power.
Mama Bear: She will not stop at physically attacking anyone she sees as a threat to her family (including in civilian form).
Nice Girl: Beware the Nice Ones aside, she's genuinely kind at her core. She managed to work past her phobia of frogs to kiss Hikaru in frog form (without knowing his true identity) simply because she felt bad for him, and even in the face of him abruptly turning down her Love Confession, she defends him from her siblings trying to chew him out, asking them to not cause him trouble.
Not So Above It All: While she's one of the most emotionally resilient of the siblings, the way she stays "resilient" is by attempting to bury her feelings to the point of Trying Not to Cry or taking on too much stress. When she finally hits her limits and blows up, things get very nasty.
Our Mermaids Are Different: For starters, they're metallic, tall as a building, have splittable legs, and take form with help of a phone call.
Promotion to Parent: She's the sibling most like Miyuki, and thus takes over her role as the siblings' mother figure in her absence. Stage 13 reveals that she'd made a promise to Miyuki that she'd do so if Miyuki were to disappear, so Urara feels an obligation to fulfill that promise. For the most part she does a decent job of it, but she's still a young adult and sometimes crumbles under the pressure or falls apart emotionally, requiring the others to pick up the slack and support her.
Rage Breaking Point: This is the main reason for her Beware the Nice Ones nature; she has a tendency to hold back all of her frustrations and stress until she finally explodes.
Relationship Upgrade: After half a series of scattered Ship Tease and the entire family egging them on, she and Hikaru make mutual Love Confessions to each other and get married in Stage 47.
The Reliable One: Needless to say, the siblings would not be getting by nearly as well as they do without Urara being in charge of managing household organization, finances, and cooking. Stage 13 has the siblings worry that she's taking too much of a burden onto herself and remind her that they're all there to carry it with her.
Rescue Romance: This is ultimately what convinces her to kiss Hikaru in his frog form, despite being unaware of his true identity and having a severe phobia of frogs. It's played with in that it's not intended so much as a romantic gesture as it is her feeling bad for the "frog". At least, not at first...
Signature Move: Blue Splash, or in other words Making a Splash.
Silk Hiding Steel: While she's gentle and sweet, she can also be one of the most forceful of the siblings when trying to get her way. Hikaru's impression of her in Stage 22 is that she's "cute, but seems very strong-willed." This is one of the many ways she takes after Miyuki. It's also what finally convinces Hikaru to accept Urara's feelings for him; after some advice from Miyuki, his Love Confession to Urara in Stage 47 has him admit that by trying to prevent her from getting attached to him from his impending death, he wasn't giving her enough credit. Indeed, when Hikaru does (initially) die as predicted and the world literally ends in front of her, Urara is naturally upset but still manages to keep herself together enough to keep fighting for the finale.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: Hikaru's first act of teasing her about whether she likes him starts them off on a bad note, and she only starts forming a relationship with him as he proves more of his loyalty and kindness.
The Smart One: Easily the sibling with the strongest deductive reasoning skills, which end up very helpful when her divination results aren't clear. It's best demonstrated with her tracking down Gremlin in Stage 20 with her observation skills, and although Tsubasa is the primary sleuth behind Houka's incident in Stages 10-11, Urara picks up on Spotting the Thread as easily as he does. She's also the one most responsible for managing the family finances.
Team Mom: She's repeatedly commented on in-universe as having taken the most after Miyuki out of any of the siblings, and she ends up taking this role in the family upon Miyuki's absence.
Trying Not to Cry: A byproduct of her emotional resilience is that she has an occasional tendency to try covering up her feelings when particularly upset and go on as if nothing's wrong. She doesn't do a very good job of doing it, and her family, having known her for her entire life, can see that she's forcing herself.
- As an example, she has a habit of coping with being upset by scrubbing all of the pots in the house, resulting in a particularly absurd extreme where she attempts to cope with Hikaru rejecting her feelings and his potential impending death by scrubbing a pot... in the middle of the Magic Room, without a sink, barely even moving the scrubber back and forth, while her entire family is staring at her at a loss for what to do. Miyuki ends up having to intervene by explaining Urara's position to him on her behalf, and Urara's only able to let the tears out after Hikaru walks back in and proposes to her.
Water Is Womanly: She has the gentle, polite personality, mermaid theme, and power of the water element.
Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She developed a phobia of frogs after Kai played a prank on her with one when they were younger. This causes problems when Hikaru's Curse Escape Clause requires a Magic Kiss from her, but she manages to momentarily put her fear aside after he saves her life. She still has the phobia afterwards; Toad threatening to drop frogs all over the Earth causes her to have a Freak Out, which Toad takes massive offense to.

Houka Ozu/MagiPink

Portrayed by: Ayumi Beppu (live), Yuuki Ono (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/houka.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magipink.png

The second oldest of the Ozu siblings. A free-spirited airhead who likes to pick up and drop anything she likes on a whim, including boyfriends. Despite being irresponsible and unreliable, she's a genuine Nice Girl and All-Loving Hero, and her flighty behavior often comes from her trying to be helpful in her own way (even if it doesn't actually help). Of course, she openly adores her family and loves to dote on them.

As the Pink Magician, she has the power of wind and a magic specialty in Voluntary Shapeshifting.

A-Cup Angst: During the "Freaky Friday" Flip, she gets annoyed when Kai-in-her-body looks at her chest and comments that it's just "sorta something".
Action Mom: Hero Mama League reveals she's married and has a young daughter, but still continues to fight as a Magiranger alongside her siblings. The special involves her, Jasmine, and Nanami discussing the difficulties of juggling motherhood with hero work.
All-Loving Hero: She doesn't hold grudges and views things without preconceived notions; Miyuki identifies this as her most wonderful trait. This is what helps her get through to and befriend Titan despite Makito's initial uncertainty. She also immediately goes up to Nai and Mea and cheerfully hugs them after their Heel–Face Turn; granted, resurrecting her dad and Hikaru is a pretty huge favor, but it's quite the gesture coming from someone they'd directly turned into their vampire slave earlier in the series.
Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: She's a naturally curious person and thus tends to get distracted easily, which causes some trouble when she takes Hikaru to Kyoto in search of something but keeps going off in completely unrelated directoins.
Babies Ever After: She ends up having a daughter named Fuuka with an unnamed husband at the time of Hero Mama League. Amusingly, even Fuuka is aware her mother is The Ditz, but is proud of her anyway.
Be the Ball: She can turn into a mecha-sized soccer ball.
Blow You Away: She can conjure wind attacks or outright turn herself into an electric fan.
The Charmer: She enjoys wrapping boys around her finger and getting them to fight over her (and it works, considering she can get at least fifteen boys to fight over her at once), but has no intention of committing to any of them. She also jokes that her outing with Hikaru in Kyoto is a "date"; as soon as they hear about it, the boys consider it very likely that she might have tried to seduce him.
Commitment Issues: This is the reason she Really Gets Around, since she considers the idea of a normal relationship to be "boring" and prefers to juggle around shallow flings. Kai eventually gives her an Armor-Piercing Question asking if she's ever truly fallen in love with someone, making her realize that she'd never had a real relationship because she was too busy trying to have shallow fun. The Final Live Tour has her dating someone she claims to be her "destined partner", with her stating that she still wants more experience with proper romance, and by the time of Hero Mama League she seems to have finally settled down with someone.
Cool Big Sis: She's ditzy and selfish, but she adores her siblings to no end and is always willing to go the extra mile for them (even if it sometimes ends up causing more damage than it helps).
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Don't let her scatterbrained nature tell you otherwise; she absolutely can hold her own in a fight, and she's more than capable of using her Voluntary Shapeshifting powers to pull off some very clever feats.
The Ditz: She may be the second oldest of the siblings, but she's incredibly airheaded and often very unreliable.
Disappointing Older Sibling: She's the second oldest of the siblings, but you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise; her incredibly flighty personality results in her siblings rarely taking her seriously, and Urara, her younger sister, has to pick up the slack of being the Team Mom. Houka starts displaying several moments of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass over the course of the series, leading to her siblings having a lot more respect for her, but even to the end of the series she's airheaded enough that the siblings try not to expect too much out of her compared to Makito or Urara.
Dub Name Change: "Lucy" in the Korean dub.
The Fashionista: She always has a cute outfit ready to go outside of her Ranger uniform.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: She's the foolish one in between the more responsible Makito and Urara, who end up having to keep her in check in different ways.
Fatal Flaw: Irresponsibility. She's well-intentioned, but she dislikes commitment and leaves others to clean after her messes, making her behavior often inadvertently self-centered.
Fighting from the Inside: After being turned into a vampire, Houka still manages to stay self-aware while she slowly succumbs to Vancuria's mind control and tries her best to fight it, but as it begins to seem more hopeless she tries to save her family and run away, telling them to forget about her. Tsubasa isn't having any of that, and even after it seems like Houka's fully succumbed, he manages to get through to her enough for him to kill Vancuria and save Houka.
Fourth-Date Marriage: Stage 15 has her declare she'll be marrying Tetsuya, a man she'd just met, the very next day; her reason is that Tetsuya will be dying in three days thanks to the Monster of the Week, and she wants to give him a good memory to go out on. Once the Monster of the Week is taken care of and Tetsuya is saved, they immediately call it off. The relationship ends up falling apart afterwards, but the incident becomes a Once Done, Never Forgotten issue when Tetsuya shows up in Stage 29 trying to get her back (and failing due to Houka's Laser-Guided Amnesia at the time), and Tsubasa snarks about it to her at Urara and Hikaru's wedding (ironically somewhat of a Fourth-Date Marriage itself, but at least both of them already had a very deep relationship even if they hadn't been formally dating).
Genki Girl: Rivals Kai for the "most energetic sibling" spot.
Good Bad Girl: A G-rated (or at least G-rated as far as we know) variation of this. She considers it fun to have multiple boyfriends at once while never committing to any of them, but she's also completely open about the fact she's dating multiple at once and is honest about the fact she has no intention of committing. The boys she dates are well aware they're part of a Reverse Harem, but they're not very happy about sharing and are still holding out hope that they can have her to themselves. Eventually, Kai gets her to realize that she does want to have a meaningful romantic connection with someone at some point, and that this kind of shallow behavior won't get her any closer to that.
Hidden Depths: She's easy to pass off as frivolous and airheaded (even by her own siblings), but she's probably the kindest among the siblings and loves her family dearly. Stage 22 is dedicated to Hikaru initially passing her off as good-for-nothing and selfish, only to find that her motive for dragging him around was to find something important to the family.
- She also can be forceful and stern when she needs to be (she just doesn't do it often). After Hikaru rejects Urara's apple pie, lashes out at her, and scares her away, Houka's response is to bring it up to him and tell him to shut up and eat it, which gets him to back down.
Human Shield: This is Vancuria's final gambit during her showdown with Tsubasa; she has a mind-controlled Houka act as this for her, meaning that if Tsubasa shoots at Vancuria, Houka will go down with her. Fortunately, Houka slips Tsubasa a sign that she's actually faking still being brainwashed, so Tsubasa decides to trust Houka and shoots as Houka jumps away at the last second.
Kawaiiko: Refers to herself in Third-Person Person, uses the endearing "-chan" honorific on all of her siblings (including herself), and is generally fond of flaunting her cuteness all the time. It's to the point even Urara calls her "Houka-chan" despite being younger than her.
Laser-Guided Amnesia: After witnessing a little too much from one Monster of the Week, she's inflicted with amnesia that applies to the last year of her life, which basically means everything related to magic, being a Magiranger, and the fact their mother is dead. Even worse, not only is Tsubasa's memory potion a No-Sell, but her memory also wipes itself again every hour, which means the family has to remind her of all of that every time before it wipes again.
The Matchmaker: While all of the siblings are usually supportive of the others' love lives, self-proclaimed "love expert" Houka is such a romanticist that she'll start shipping at even the tiniest sign of romantic interest. She jumps on trying to get Kai/Yamazaki together to the level of Unwanted Assistance, and she tries to be the most optimistic about Makito and Eriko's future prospects (although it says something when even she can't really make sense of it). Magiranger vs. Dekaranger also has her get in on Sen and Umeko.

Morphic Resonance: Any inanimate object she turns into will be pink or have a large pink bow tied around it, which has gotten her in hot water a few times when trying to be stealthy about her transformations.
Nice Girl: Scatterbrained as she may be, her kindness is genuine, and a lot of what she does is out of good intentions, such as agreeing to marry a near-complete stranger because he was about to die. This culminates in her being the most open-minded towards Titan in spite of everyone else's doubts, leading to his Heel–Face Turn.
Our Fairies Are Different: Her Majin form is MagiFairy, the smallest of the five. Among other things, it can turn into a ball for the other Majin to launch as a finishing move.
Out-of-Character Alert: When Houka suddenly turns up at home, looking seemingly normal right after just having been turned into a vampire, she brings a bag of apples and starts peeling them for everyone. Tsubasa quickly figures out the apples are poisoned when Houka makes no response to him giving her a V-Sign (Houka's trademark pose, which she would normally react more cheerfully to), while Urara points out that Houka wouldn't do something like bring food for everyone at home, nor would she be able to peel apples carefully.
Perpetual Poverty: She takes on-and-off modeling gigs, but as with everything else, she doesn't have a sense of commitment or responsibility, so she doesn't get steady enough work to significantly contribute to the Ozu family's living costs. Even then, she tends to spend her earnings quickly. She does try to treat the family (plus Hikaru) to lunch after getting paid for a modeling job in Stage 26, and according to Stage 8 she's open to adjacent work like acting in films. Hero Mama League reveals that she eventually goes into modeling for young mothers' fashion, presumably on a more stable basis.
Plucky Girl: She manages to always look on the bright side of things, even when it's gone to hell. It's played with in that while she does try to keep things positive, she does freeze up in a Heroic BSoD or get emotionally overwhelmed when things really do go south (such as when she sees Wolzard killing her mother in front of her eyes, or in Stage 46 when her attempts to save Titan end up All for Nothing), and in such cases Makito or Urara will have it more together than her.
Really Gets Around: She has many boyfriends over the series, and doesn't mind having several at once. Apparently, even fifteen is "less than usual". It's played with in that the problem is not so much the number of partners she's had before but the fact she likes to string them around and drop them on a whim, refusing to commit to anything; Kai eventually convinces her to take the idea of committment more seriously.
Signature Move: Pink Storm, either with a raw Blow You Away or by turning herself into an electric fan. She can also combine it with a well-aimed kick.
Third-Person Person: Slips into this every now and them, emphasizing her Kawaiiko nature.
V-Sign: Her characteristic pose, which is a plot point during the vampire two-parter.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Her magic specialty, which allows her to turn into any object or animal. She likes to accompany it with a cheerful "Change!" In combat, her most common form is an electric fan so she can make the most of her wind powers; other forms include a cannon and a pepper shaker, and she's probably the sibling who uses her magic as a Mundane Utility most often.

Makito Ozu/MagiGreen

Portrayed by: Yuuki Ito (live), Hirofumi Fukuzawa (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/makito.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magigreen.png

The oldest of the Ozu siblings, serving as their honorary father figure. Although he's usually an easygoing person, he has a strong sense of responsibility for his younger siblings and can go on a full-on Papa Wolf streak whenever something happens to his family. As the oldest, he's technically The Leader, but his position as one of the core pillars of the family makes him into a Supporting Leader, which he accomplishes by being an incredibly stubborn Determinator when need be.

As the Green Magician, he has the power of earth and a magic specialty in affinity with plants.

Big Brother Instinct: Never, ever mess with his siblings. There are many times where he gets very close to physically throwing hands because of his overprotectiveness.
Big Brother Mentor: He can be quite philosophical at times, and, being more level-headed than Houka, can give good advice when his younger siblings need it. Stage 32 also has him reminiscing on some of the advice their father had given him a young kid and passing it on to Kai.
The Big Guy: He gets the biggest Majin form, and one of his signature spells gives him huge muscles.
Butt-Monkey: He's a victim of Magic Room shenanigans almost as much as Mandra Boy is. At one point, Urara's attempt to punch Eriko on his behalf ends up missing and hitting him instead.
Call to Agriculture: His dream is to go to Brazil to study agriculture, which he had only put aside for the sake of his family. By the time of the epilogue, he's finally able to start seriously pursuing it.
Caring Gardener: Even prior to starting his magic studies, he'd been maintaining a small backyard farm that is implied to have been the primary source of the Ozu family's income, which is also where he gets his vegetables for his specialty "Aniki Salad". And boy, does he love those vegetables; his plan for a family picnic in Stage 27 is hilariously unbalanced with far too many of them.
Control Freak: In Stage 3, fueled by the stress of being the oldest and thus needing to take care of the family after Miyuki's death, he starts getting frustrated at his siblings not doing as he asks. In particular, he's upset that the The Law Of Chromatic Superiority puts him last among the siblings while the highest-ranked is Kai, the youngest and most immature of his siblings. He gets over this once he comes to the realization that his role is to actually be a Supporting Leader, comparing himself and Kai to a field and strawberries (because the strawberries can't grow without a good foundation).
Determinator: In spades; when the Monster of the Week causes his family to start hating each other and fall apart with no hope of getting back together, his refusal to give up on them gets them back together with sheer will, and even when left untransformed and afflicted with Mold he forces himself all the way over to the battlefield to support them anyway.
Dishing Out Dirt: It tends to involve pelting enemies with boulders.
Dogged Nice Guy: He's interested in a girl named Eriko and tentatively manages to convince her to date him in Stage 10. Notably, while the siblings are usually openly Shipper on Deck when it comes to the others' love lives, they're not very enthusiastic about her, mainly due to concern on Makito's behalf due to her overbearing and rude personality.
Dub Name Change: "Eugene" in the Korean dub.
The Dutiful Son: He passed up the opportunity to study abroad to take care of his siblings. Tsubasa is initially upset to learn that Makito had given up so much for them instead of pursuing his own dreams, but Makito isn't comfortable with the idea of doing so until Tsubasa proves he's capable of taking care of the family in his absence.
Elemental Armor: The Legend equivalent of MagiMuscle is a layer of rock that can tank multiple shots from Cyclops.
Failed a Spot Check: He seems to have prioritized learning English despite wanting to go to Brazil, where the official language is Portuguese (which his actor quipped was "a very Makito-like mistake to make"). He seems to be on his way to rectifying this by the time of the Final Live Tour, adding Spanish to it for good measure.
Fatal Flaw: Stubbornness. It serves him well in that he can be one hell of a Determinator when his mind is set on something, but on the other hand, it can be very difficult to change his mind when he's gotten the wrong idea.
Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: The responsible to Houka's foolish. They're both adults and the oldest of the five siblings, but Houka is prone to irresponsibility and thus Makito has to worry about her in ways he doesn't have to worry about the others.
Gentle Giant: He's The Big Guy, but he's also kind of a dork and doesn't have a malicious bone in his body. Even when upset or frustrated, he doesn't explode with anger like Urara would, and he only acts truly aggressively when his family is threatened.
Green Thumb: He retains his special powers with plants outside transforming.
The Heart: In most cases during day-to-day life, this role goes to Urara, but Makito ends up taking this role when things really fall apart and his role as an emotional pillar becomes important. During Stage 27, when the Monster of the Week cuts through the other four siblings' familial bonds and causes them to all develop an antipathy towards each other to the point of trying to move out, while they still agree to continue fighting together against Infershia for pragmatic purposes, Makito refuses to accept the idea of them only amounting to some kind of heartless professional relationship and spends the rest of the episode attempting to get them to remember their love for each other, eventually succeeding through sheer force of will.
Henpecked Husband: His dynamic with Eriko becomes this once they start dating. His siblings aren't very enthused about it and had even tried to convince him that she wasn't worth it.
Heroic Build: Acquired with Magi Maagi, AKA MagiMuscle.
Hidden Depths: He looks wishy-washy and high-strung, but he's one of the most sentimental of the siblings and is very good at giving emotional counsel and advice. He also has an incredible amount of physical and emotional resilience, and it's nearly impossible to knock him down. Also, while he seems Hot-Blooded, he's actually better at keeping himself focused than the other siblings when push comes to shove.
Hot-Blooded: In a different way from Kai. Whenever he gets stubborn about something, he can get really passionate about it to the point of running in circles. Hikaru's early evaluation of him is that he's "surprisingly spirited".
Inferiority Superiority Complex: A very mild case of it, but he does have a bit of pride regarding his "position" in the family as the oldest. Stage 3 has him resent the fact Kai is treated as the center of the group despite him being the youngest, and Stage 21 has him worried that Hikaru is hijacking his place in the family.
Large Ham: He has no concept of subtlety whatsoever; if there's something he wants done, he will get it done, in thoroughly dramatic fashion.
Meat Versus Veggies: Whenever he's put in charge of family events that involve food, his meal plan will be absurdly packed with vegetables to unbalanced degrees (in his words, "beans are the meat of a farm"). It's not that he doesn't like meat; he's just really enthusiastic about vegetables.
Mundane Utility: His Green Thumb is most useful for... keeping his farm afloat and giving the Ozu household a source of income.
My Greatest Failure: Some years ago, Makito tried to leave (a much younger and more irresponsible) Tsubasa in charge of the house, only to come home and find that Kai had almost gotten mauled by a bear. Makito considers the incident his responsibility, leading to him locking down on his Papa Wolf stance and deciding that he's the only one who can take charge of the family. Tsubasa is sobered to find out Makito still sees the incident this way.
My Sister Is Off-Limits: In most cases, he averts this and supports his siblings' love lives to the level of Shipper on Deck, but when Houka announces her marriage with Tetsuya in Stage 15, Makito is fuming and is the most obstructive about letting it happen. In this case, his position is completely reasonable (he's concerned about the fact Houka's getting married to someone she barely knows, and on the next day at that), but his Hot-Blooded nature leads to him turning into a full-on Control Freak regarding Houka, resulting in the issue getting much messier than it would have been otherwise. He gives his blessing after learning that Houka was doing it to give Tetsuya a Last Wish Marriage and supports her happiness, but it ends up moot when they end up calling the wedding off anyway.
Papa Wolf: More or less "Older Brother Wolf", but still counts. As the oldest sibling, he takes it upon himself to make sure that his siblings are cared for and protected at all costs...to mixed results sometimes.
Promotion to Parent: With the siblings' father having been gone for fifteen years and their mother gone at the beginning of the series, Makito ends up having to take the role of the Team Dad in their absence.
Real Men Cook: And he takes it pretty seriously, too (as long as it involves vegetables).
Signature Move: Green Ground, which lets him do a Shockwave Stomp with his axe.
Snipe Hunt: Stage 10 has him try to impress a girl who claims she'll go out with him if he can make a flower bloom from her cactus plant; Makito, being the Determinator he is, stubbornly puts his all into it until it's revealed that the cactus is incapable of bearing flowers and she'd only told him that to get her off his back. In the end, he manages to convince her, although the rather terrible way she treated him doesn't make the other siblings very enthusiastic (especially after she runs off with Hikaru in Stage 21).
Strong and Skilled: Although his fighting style of using blunt weapons and Shockwave Stomp-style attacks might suggest otherwise, he fights with precision and tries not to cause unnecessary collateral damage around him.
Suddenly Bilingual: Reveals in Stage 37 that he can speak English with a perfect accent, surprising Tsubasa as to where he learned to do that (in real life, his actor is equally as fluent, making it a case of The Cast Show Off). Apparently, he studied English hard enough so that one day he could go to Brazil and study to improve his farming techniques. The Final Live Tour adds that he's also studying Spanish and Portuguese.
Supporting Leader: Due to being the eldest son, he is The Leader, but Kai is the one who ends up most active in battle, and Mandra Boy even invokes The Law Of Chromatic Superiority by listing "green" last. Makito's initially not pleased by this, but in Stage 3 he comes to terms with the idea that he's a more effective team leader by providing a supportive foundation for his younger siblings to take charge.
Team Dad: The oldest sibling and extremely caring, kind, and protective.
Temporary Bulk Change: MagiMuscle. With Growing Muscles Sequence included.
Trademark Favorite Food: Vegetables, but especially his "Aniki Salad", a trademark that he likes making for the family with his own vegetables.
What Does She See in Him?: In a family that's usually Shipper on Deck when it comes to a given sibling's love life, when Makito's siblings see how much of an overbearing, arrogant woman Eriko is, all four of them advise him to cut it off immediately because she's not worth it, especially when they learn she put him on a Snipe Hunt intended to get rid of him. Makito is such a stubborn Determinator that he manages to win her over anyway, and the others aren't exactly sure how to feel about it; even the most optimistic one, Houka, can only conclude that some things are just a mystery. When Eriko later ditches Makito to flirt with Hikaru instead, the other four all sigh like they'd seen it coming and don't even bother interfering.

Hikaru/Heavenly Saint Sungel/MagiShine

Portrayed by: Yousuke Ichikawa (live), Jiro Okamoto (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hikaru_73.jpg

^{Click to see Heavenly Saint Sungel}

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magishine.png

Fifteen years ago, Heavenly Saint Sungel, one of Blagel's disciples, sealed Raigel and himself into a cave but was turned into a frog in retaliation. After being released from the cave and having Urara break his curse, he moves in with the Ozu siblings and becomes their magic teacher in order to return the favor to their father, taking the name "Hikaru" (the name Houka had given him as a frog).

Although he comes off as having a playful personality at first glance, he's actually a Stern Teacher with a strong sense of loyalty and responsibility, and he starts becoming much like an honorary family member as he gets to know the siblings better. On the flip side, he himself ends up learning from the sibilings as they help him break out of his tendency be too narrow-minded or prideful.

As a Heavenly Saint, his powers are related to the sun. He's the "master" of Smoky and primary user of the MagiLamp Buster, as well as the owner of Travelion, a Cool Train that can carry its passengers between different worlds. In conjunction with the train motif, he can also use "Magic Tickets" to do various things like reading memories.

Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Does this with Urara on a few key occasions.
Anger Born of Worry: Hikaru's frustration hits peak in Stage 36 when the siblings refuse to heed his warnings to not fight the Hades Gods and let him handle it; the resulting stress makes everyone break out into a particularly nasty argument full of O.O.C. Is Serious Business in all directions, with the fight escalating to physical levels. Urara is alarmed enough by this that she brings in apple pie, something the family had traditionally used to break up fighting within the family, and (after some prodding and explanation from Houka) this calms him down enough to apologize to Urara and have more faith that the siblings can hold their own in the fight.
Back from the Dead: "Dies" for the better part of half an episode, then comes back courtesy of Vancuria.
Badass Cape: As MagiShine, he's the only one with a full-length cape.
Battle Couple: With Urara near the end.
Bewitched Amphibians: Fifteen years before the start of the series, when he sealed Meemy into the cave and turned him into a mummy, he got turned into a frog in return.
Big Brother Mentor: Initially, he didn't know the siblings very well and was mostly acting as The Mentor to them out of the practical necessity of Blagel's children needing proper magical guidance, but he begins to take more of this role.
Big Ego, Hidden Depths: He's initially introduced with a seemingly smug, insufferable demeanor, and Urara and Makito aren't entirely sure what to make of him at first. This lasts about two episodes before it turns out to be a surface-level impression of him at best; he's a genuinely diligent Stern Teacher and fiercely loyal to Blagel and his children, to the point of willingly attempting a Heroic Sacrifice or at least Taking the Bullet for the siblings multiple times. It's implied that his "playfulness" is something he does to set the tone and make himself approachable as their teacher, because whenever things get serious he immediately becomes more straightforward and honest, and while he does occasionally underestimate the siblings he's fully willing to admit when he's wrong and apologize.
Bling of War: His MagiShine suit has gold accents.
Break His Heart to Save Him: During Stage 47, after being convinced of his own impending death, he suddenly claims that he's done teaching the siblings and plans to go back to Magitopia and never see them again. Of course, it's obvious that he doesn't actually want to leave them and has even fallen in love with Urara, but he's hoping they'll forget about him so that they won't be too upset if he dies, completely failing to realize that he's already too important to them for that. He gives it up when Miyuki gets it through his head that Urara (and by extension the others) would be far more hurt by him cutting her off than she would be at his death, and he admits that he was assuming too much by thinking that would make it any better.
Chick Magnet: Explicitly noted to be attractive-looking in-universe, with Houka proudly calling her first outing with him a "date" and Makito's Love Interest Eriko immediately ditching Makito for him on the spot. It's ambiguous what his own thoughts are on this; Houka strong-arming him around just annoys him, and while he goes along with Eriko latching onto him, it doesn't go anywhere. In the end, Urara is the only one he truly falls in love with.
- Amusingly, the penultimate stage show has a memory-wiped Urara show clear interest in him despite him already saying that he's married (unaware that she herself is the wife in question), reinforcing the implication that she would have been attracted to him on the spot if it weren't for the awkward circumstances they first met in.
Curse Escape Clause: The curse that turned him into a frog can only be undone if he's kissed by a "blue magician", for which the only candidate in the vicinity is Urara. While he's at least able to telepathically ask for a kiss from her, not only does Urara think she's just hearing things, she also happens to have a severe phobia of frogs and therefore is disgusted by his presence. He eventually wins her over by saving her life, resulting in the curse being broken and him joining the Magirangers.
Disguised in Drag: With Tetsu in Magiranger vs. Dekaranger in order to rescue Urara and Jasmine (It Makes Sense in Context). He attempts to pass himself off as one of the Ozu family's cousins, "Hikaruko"^note.
Dub Name Change: "Shine" in the Korean dub.
Failed a Spot Check: The siblings see nothing weird about a "frog" having the ability to emit glowing light and independently follow them to places no normal frog should be able to, nor does Urara think it's weird that a frog is asking her to kiss him by telepathically projecting it into her head. To their credit, Urara seems to be able to sense what he's thinking to some extent and acknowledges that she doesn't even know why she's going out of her way to talk to a frog, so it's possible there was some subconscious level of awareness going on between him and the siblings.
Family of Choice: Even before he marries Urara and thus becomes formally tied to them, he expresses a wistful attitude about the Ozu family atmosphere and is clearly attached to being a part of it. He does seem to come from a family of his own, given that the rings he gives the siblings are said to have been passed down through the generations of his household, but he never brings them up in any other context and it certainly doesn't seem like there's anyone providing what the Ozu family does for him (especially since we're not given much information on how Heavenly Saint lineage works). Smoky's description of Hikaru and Urara's married life in the epilogue implies that other Heavenly Saints like Magiel and Lunagel might be the closest thing he has otherwise.
Fatal Flaw: Pride and narrow-minded thinking. Since he's a skilled magician and fighter who's thoroughly familiar with Magitopia and its legends, he has a tendency to underestimate the siblings and assume he knows better, dismissing them for not understanding or deciding things for them.
The Fatalist: Having been raised as a Magitopian warrior, he tends to default to a You Can't Fight Fate stance whenever it comes to premonitions or prophecies of future doom. A legend that Magitopia and the human world will be destroyed if they defy the Hades Gods gets him trying to convince the siblings to throw the towel in while they still can instead of fighting back, and a vision of his upcoming death makes him almost cut off his relationship with Urara. In the end, while his initial concerns aren't wrong per se, he doesn't take other possibilities sufficiently into account; Magitopia does indeed get destroyed, N Ma condemns the human world to an eventual Bad Future, and Hikaru dies exactly as predicted, but Magiel survives to help rebuild Magitopia, N Ma is defeated before he can make said doomed future happen, Sphinx has a Heel–Face Turn and allies with the Magirangers meaning they're not technically defying the Hades Gods anymore, and while Hikaru dies, nobody said he couldn't be resurrected by someone afterwards.
- On a smaller note, Stages 41-42 involve a cake shop losing its batch of Christmas cakes and thus potentially becoming unable to deliver them in time; despite things looking like there won't be enough time and the shop not having enough strawberries, Kai starts trying to help them remake the cakes, but Hikaru dismisses Kai as wasting his time. However, the shop is inspired by Kai's passion and manages to work something out with one of their strawberry suppliers, allowing the cake shop to fulfill the orders after all; had Kai listened to Hikaru and not motivated the shop to start remaking the cakes early, they wouldn't have been able to make use of the opportunity, and it would have been a case of Gave Up Too Soon. Snowgel had apparently recognized Hikaru's tendency to do this and advised him to learn more risk-taking from Kai for this reason, in line with Blagel's philosophy that "chance is something you make yourself."
Finishing Move: Smoky Shining Attack
Fish out of Water: Unlike the Ozu siblings, he's a Heavenly Saint who hasn't had much experience with human culture, so as knowledgeable as he is about magic and Magitopia, everything specific to the human world is completely unfamiliar to him. This leads to moments like him staring at conveyor belt sushi with awestruck curiosity and, after seeing it crumble into dust in front of him, asking if it's supposed to do that. It's implied that any behavior that resembles being The Gadfly or Handsome Lech might actually just be a case of him having No Social Skills when it comes to human interactions.
Foil: To Kai, in a certain sense; both look up to Blagel deeply (Kai as his son and Hikaru as his student), but Kai is a Hot-Blooded, reckless kid while Hikaru is a disciplined and mature teacher. In fact, the two incidents where Hikaru arguably stooped the lowest in the series had to do with severe disagreement with Kai, once in Stage 36 where Kai offends him enough for Hikaru to punch him in the face, and once in Stage 41 when he's so frustrated with Kai's recklessness causing trouble that he completely loses his temper at him (in the latter case, Snowgel had been deliberately making use of their contrasting temperaments to teach Hikaru a lesson). Fortunately, Kai respects Hikaru as his teacher and doesn't hold a grudge over said incidents.
Foreseeing My Death: Right after being resurrected, N Ma gives Hikaru a vision of his death, which immediately scares him into attempting to abruptly cut the Ozu family off and reject Urara's Love Confession so that they won't be too attached to someone who's going to die on them. He's convinced to come around, and while he does die exactly as predicted, Nai and Mea bring him back shortly after.
Hair Flip: He likes doing this whenever he's trying to come off as confident, to the point it's his gesture in the opening.
Handsome Lech: His first two episodes set him up to come off this way, with him teasing Urara in his debut episode and being a bit too receptive to Makito's girlfriend Eriko asking him out, but this pretty much goes out the window afterwards as his major human interactions tend to be limited to the Ozu siblings (and as his chemistry with Urara starts getting more intense).
Headbutt of Love: His memory-reading cards require him to touch his and the other person's foreheads to the card. It's done completely innocuously, but the first time he did it with Houka, Urara got the wrong idea and was about to rip him a new one until the actual situation was cleared up.
Hot in Human Form: As a Heavenly Saint, his true form is actually that of an angelic-looking magical being, but his human form is that of a young man who's explicitly seen as attractive-looking in-universe and makes him into somewhat of a Chick Magnet. It's hard to tell how aware he is of this; his smug attitude and tendency to Hair Flip suggests he is, but with him being a Fish out of Water when it comes to human society it's hard to be sure.
Immortal Immaturity: Although he's over 500 years old, he's treated as somewhat of a junior Heavenly Saint compared to higher-ranked and more experienced ones like Blagel and Snowgel, and his behavior really could make you think he's as young as he looks. He also defers to the human Miyuki due to her being Blagel's wife, and multiple episodes involve the siblings, who are no older than their twenties, having to give him a reality check due to his occasionally prideful tendencies. Snowgel apparently hopes for him to become Magiel's successor someday, but she puts him through a trial to learn from Kai because she's aware he's got a long way to go.
In-Series Nickname: His real name is Sungel, but after Houka named him "Hikaru" (see Meaningful Name below) he decided to have the Ozu siblings keep calling him by that name. He only uses the name with the siblings and when needing to pass himself off as a human; anyone who knew him beforehand, such as his fellow Heavenly Saints, still refers to him as Sungel.
Last Wish Marriage: It's implied the reason his Love Confession to her jumps straight to a marriage proposal is that he's aware he's doomed to die in the final battle against N Ma.
Love at First Sight: According to the Ozu siblings in Stage 47, they could all tell Hikaru and Urara had mutual feelings for each other "from the start". Beyond teasing her about whether she liked him shortly after meeting her, his description of her in Stage 22 was that she was "cute, but seems very strong-willed", with said strong will later being brought up in his Love Confession to her in Stage 47.
Love Revelation Epiphany: It's unclear whether he was aware of his own feelings for Urara beforehand (it was very clear to the audience and the rest of the family, but he never says anything concrete on the matter himself), but her dropping a Love Confession on him when he's about to attempt cutting himself off from the family forces him to confront the subject for real. Ultimately, he decides that he does indeed love her enough that he goes right ahead and asks her to marry him.
Knight in Shining Armor: Literally and figuratively.
Mage Marksman: His main weapon is the Magilamp Buster; a magic lamp-shaped handheld firearm that can shoot bolts of golden energy.
Magic Carpet: Named Skarpet, which serves as his equivalent for the siblings' Sky Hokis.
Martyr Without a Cause: If there's an opportunity to protect the siblings from something at his own expense, he'll take it; for example, trying to sacrifice himself to save Tsubasa from the consequences of using dark magic, having a tendency towards Taking the Bullet for them, insisting that he'll fight the Hades Gods himself so that the siblings won't have to, or attempting to cut them off because he wants to spare them the pain of his impending death, despite the fact he'd fallen in love with Urara and come to see the others like family. At first, it's mainly because he sees this to be his duty as their teacher, but later incidents end in him realizing that by trying to decide things for them and assuming they can't handle it, he's not giving them enough credit.
Meaningful Name: While still in his cursed frog form, Houka names him "Hikaru" after the sudden light he appeared from. Even after the spell is broken, Sungel decides the name suits him.
The Mentor: Takes this role after he joins the group, since he's knowledgeable about magic and also happened to know the siblings' father as his student. Prior to his arrival, Mandra Boy had been the closest thing they had, and the siblings had mostly been getting by through unfocused self-study.
Only One Name: Not only is he the only Magiranger to not have the surname Ozu, he's also the only one with no surname period. Given he's a Heavenly Saint, he probably just didn't see the need for one. Could technically no longer apply with his marriage to Urara.
Powered Armor: Unlike the siblings and Miyuki, who have to request power from their patron Heavenly Saints to transform, Sungel is a Heavenly Saint himself and can already use combat magic on his own, so his transformation into MagiShine is actually Hikaru turning back into his Heavenly Saint form and putting on armor. In fact, MagiShine is somewhat slower than Sungel in his base form (in exchange for additional power in every other aspect). The only times he's seen transforming directly from his human form into MagiShine is when he's transforming with a large group of people and would look out of place on the screen with an extra step (namely Magiranger vs. Dekaranger and the final battle of the series).
The Power of the Sun: "The shining solar element!"
Really 700 Years Old: As a Heavenly Saint, he's apparently over 500 years old, but his human form looks to be in around his twenties.
Relationship Upgrade: He and Urara become a couple and get married in Stage 47.
Rescue Romance: As a frog, he used his limited magic abilities to bail the siblings out of trouble, and his rescue of Urara is what convinces her to kiss him despite her severe phobia of frogs. Given that she'd said that she wouldn't kiss anyone she didn't like, Hikaru teases her by saying that this means she must have started liking him at some point. He's joking, but by the time of Stage 47 it's absolutely not a joke anymore.
She Is Not My Girlfriend: He suddenly and vehemently attempts to pull this on his date with Urara in Stage 47 when someone passing by refers to them as a couple. This is what pushes Urara over the edge to make her Anguished Declaration of Love. In this case, Hikaru does want to return Urara's feelings, but he's afraid of doing so when he's very likely to die soon.
Sixth Ranger: After the Five-Man Band has been firmly established, he shows up to give the team a new ally and their next level of magical training.
Stern Teacher: While his playful attitude suggests a Cool Teacher, he's actually this in practice and doesn't hesitate to be blunt about his criticisms. This is implied to be partially because Blagel trained him this way, and partially because Hikaru is still learning how to be a teacher himself and sometimes lets his frustration get to his head.
Teacher/Student Romance: Downplayed with his budding relationship with Urara; while he serves as The Mentor to her and her siblings due to his greater experience in magic, he ends up becoming more and more like a member of the family as the series goes on, and Urara brings her Love Confession to him after he attempts to step down as their teacher.
Tea Is Classy: He's conspicuously depicted as drinking it regularly in the Ozu house's magic room.
Telepathy: One of his spells lets him read minds and scan memories. He also seemed to have a limited ability to communicate telepathically as a frog, since he was able to ask Urara for the kiss he needed for his Curse Escape Clause but not provide further details that would have helped his case.
Token Houseguest: After his curse is broken, he immediately decides he'll be living under the Ozu family roof as their magic teacher for the time being, exploiting the fact Houka (under the impression he'd be a pet frog) had brought him in earlier and declared he'd be living with them. The siblings, especially an embarrassed Urara, aren't sure how to feel about this until he actually does start giving them much-needed training and reveals that he's their father's student. The siblings proceed to bond with him until he effectively becomes an honorary member of the family. After he marries Urara, they move to Magitopia, but he's still welcome at the Ozu dining table as Urara's husband.
Too Clever by Half: This is the reason he sometimes underestimates the Ozu siblings, since he's far more experienced in magic and combat and initially dismisses their approaches as unreasonable. Sometimes he is right, but there are several times he ends up having to realize his mistake and admit the relevant Ozu sibling had a point.
The Worf Effect: While this is par for the course for a Sentai Sixth Ranger, MagiShine gets hit with this especially hard after his first appearance. The in-universe context for this is that, since he's a Heavenly Saint who answers to Magitopia, he ends up often working separately from them while the Ozu siblings hold the fort down at home, but it means MagiShine ends up in a lot one-to-one fights with enemies above the usual Monster of the Week pay grade and getting his rear handed to him, or his attempt at Taking the Bullet for one of the siblings getting him whacked around.

Miyuki Ozu/MagiMother

Portrayed by: Azusa Watanabe (live), Yuichi Hachisuka (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/miyuki_88.jpg

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magimother_0.png

The siblings' mother, a human woman whom Heavenly Saint Blagel had fallen in love with and married. After her husband sacrificed himself to seal the gate to Infershia fifteen years ago, she secretly became a magician herself, gaining the ability to transform into MagiMother, and began preparing for the day Infershia would inevitably return. Once they do, she reveals the existence of magic to the siblings and provides them with everything they need to fight as Magirangers, but is defeated by Wolzard in front of their very eyes.

The loss of their mother leaves the siblings left with deep emotional wounds as they try to fill the void of her absence. Through flashbacks, we learn that she was a kind and supportive mother who left a strong impact on all five of her children, as well as the lengths she went to in order to ensure that her family could be protected from the Infershian threat. In fact, there seem to be moments where her spirit intervenes to help the siblings even after her death...

As a magician, she had the power of snow, and her specialty seemed to be similar to Urara's in terms of remote viewing.

Action Mom: As you'd expect from someone named MagiMother! On top of being the first character to transform and fight in the series, one of the first things she does after being rescued is fling herself down to Infershia to rescue her husband.
An Ice Person: She uses ice shards as flechettes and freezes Toad's cloud of spawn in midair. Similarly to how Kai shares an element with his father, Urara's water element is in alignment with this.
Astral Projection: Every time the siblings saw what they thought to be Miyuki's ghost, it was actually Miyuki herself subconsciously intervening to save her children from the Garden of Souls. After returning to the family, she actively uses this ability to find an unconscious Blagel in Infershia.
Badass in Distress: Her actual state for most of the series. Upon being rescued, she flips things over and goes to rescue a Badass in Distress (her husband) herself.
Battle Couple: Invoked. Knowing full well that her husband was fighting in a war and that he would be in danger, she personally decided to learn magic so she could fight alongside her husband.
Miyuki: If it's courage you want, I have more than anyone!
Chekhov's Gun: You know that snow arrow she managed to hit Wolzard with at the beginning? It managed to break Wolzard's brainwashing for a split second, getting him to momentarily fake her death instead of kill her, saving her own life.
- Chekhov's Boomerang: ...which then inspires Magiel to save herself from N Ma by similarly faking her death. That single arrow may well have saved the entire series.
Crazy-Prepared: She knew it was very likely that Infershia would eventually return and that she would be unlikely to survive if it did, so she spent fifteen years preparing for it by getting the Magic Room and Mandra Boy ready for them, complete with Dead Man Writing message. The siblings manage to make a reasonable amount of progress with magical self-study alone before Hikaru arrives to give them proper training.
Dead Man Writing: She left a message for the siblings to find in the house's magic room in case of her death, briefing them on the truth behind their father's "disappearance" and the upcoming war against Infershia.
Deceased Parents Are the Best: Nobody in the family has a single bad thing to say about Miyuki, and all of the siblings, especially Urara, see her as nothing but an admirable role model. This persists even after it turns out she's actually alive.
Dissonant Serenity: She's good enough at keeping her composure together under bad situations, such as casually sipping tea while explaining that magic exists and the entire family is about to get involved in an interdimensional war.
Dub Name Change: "Marie" in the Korean dub.
11th-Hour Ranger: Technically, she was the first one to transform, but she gets benched for the majority of the series, so she's more of this in practice.
Empowered Badass Normal: Unlike the others, she's not a Heavenly Saint nor is she descended from one; she's just an ordinary human who was granted the ability to use magic to protect her family.
Hidden Depths: Stages 45-46 have her shut herself up in a room in the back of her house and go on a search for her husband in Infershia. After a whole series of mostly being characterized through Deceased Parents Are the Best, now that there's no need for her to put on a brave face for her children, the audience is given a glimpse of what's ultimately an ordinary woman who's not doing this for duty or obligation, but because she just really, really wants the man she loves back after fifteen years and is willing to resort to desperation to do so. When her Astral Projection stops working and Blagel vanishes from her sight, she has an expression that looks like she's about to cry.
Interspecies Romance: Miyuki is an ordinary human who married and had five children with a Heavenly Saint from Magitopia.
Jumped at the Call: Blagel originally didn't want her to have to carry the burden of being married to a Heavenly Saint and getting involved with the war against Infershia by proxy; he even tried to push her away for her own sake despite them mutually being in love. Miyuki was the one who refused to have any of that, saying that the idea of losing his love would be more terrifying than anything else could possibly be. Then, when Blagel decided to break the Magitopian non-interference policy and fight back against Infershia to protect his family, Miyuki convinced Magiel to let him do so by declaring she'd become a magician herself and fight if anything happened to him. All of it was entirely her own decision, not out of obligation, but because she loved Isamu and their children so much that she was willing to fight to the death for their sake.
Lady of War: She has her own ranger transformation, and her fight scenes have a sense of grace the rangers themselves lack. Also, her patron Heavenly Saint was the female Snowgel, a rare Bare-Fisted Monk Lady Of War.
Mama Bear: Again: fifteen years' worth of preparation to fight in a war to protect her children.
Missing Mom: Spends a good chunk of the series presumed dead.
Never a Self-Made Woman: It initially seems to be this way due to Blagel being the reason she took up magic (and Miyuki being openly proud of that fact), but it's ultimately averted when later events and the movie reveal that Blagel originally didn't want her to get involved; Miyuki herself was the one to pursue learning magic under Snowgel (who's also female), and she started after Blagel had sealed the Gate.
Not Quite Dead: Turns out her husband snapped out of it for long enough to fake her death, and she's later found as a prisoner of Hades God Toad.
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: What led to Miyuki, a completely ordinary human with no ties to magic, learning about Magitopia and Infershia, meeting and romancing Heavenly Saint Blagel himself, and becoming acquainted enough with Magitopia and the Heavenly Saints that she could send herself up to Magitopia, violating a rule forbidding humans from entering, then learning magic after her husband was lost in battle? We're not told, but given what we see of her strong-willed personality and deep amount of insight, it's at least not hard to imagine her pulling all of that off.
One Dialogue, Two Conversations: During her fight against Wolzard in Stage 2, she starts desperately pleading with him, saying that magic is meant to be used for good and asking why he would work for Infershia. Wolzard interprets this as Miyuki saying this out of Incorruptible Pure Pureness and trying to talk him out of evil, and a first-time viewer would be likely to come to the same conclusion. It's actually a deeply horrified Miyuki recognizing her husband and demanding to know why he would go through a Face–Heel Turn.
Open-Minded Parent: She'd hidden the existence of magic from her children on request from their father to do so until it became necessary, but she was well aware it was likely and had the MagiPhones prepared for them in advance. She's perfectly at peace with the idea of her kids becoming magicians to defend themselves, although she initially has qualms about Kai due to him still being a rather immature teenager.
Posthumous Character: Her early sendoff in the Stage 2 means that much of her characterization comes from her children describing her with flashbacks. She doesn't rejoin the family until very late in the series, so those flashbacks still make up the most of what we know about her.
PG Explosives: This is how she's defeated. When revisiting Urara's memory of the event, Hikaru realizes it's actually Disappears into Light, taking this as proof that Miyuki was actually taken away rather than killed.
Pyramid Power: Charges her magic power within a pyramid. This doesn't seem to be necessary for the other magicians, implying that she has to do this since she's a pure human magician with no Heavenly Saint lineage.
Sacrificial Lion: Killed at the start of the series, forcing the Magirangers to work together without her. That is, until it's revealed she's alive at the end of Stage 34, turning their goal into getting her back.
Shipper on Deck: While the entire family had been waiting for the day Urara and Hikaru would hook up, Miyuki's direct intervention is what gets Hikaru to give up on pushing her away and propose to Urara.
- Magiranger vs. Dekaranger reveals via flashback that she also shipped Kruger/Swan, to the point of requesting they help her take care of the Flower of Heaven for being "the happiest couple I know". They tried to deny it, but Miyuki smiled cheerfully like she knew better (of course, she was completely right).
Silk Hiding Steel: She knew full well what she was getting into by being in love with a Heavenly Saint, but when Blagel attempted to push her away to prevent her from getting hurt, she insisted that she had nothing to be afraid of as long as she had his love. Then her husband pulled a Heroic Sacrifice to protect the family, so she learned magic herself and raised her five children as a single mother, preparing for the possibility that the Infershian threat would return and that she likely wouldn't survive to be there for her children. When it finally does happen at the start of the series, she wastes no time in transforming right in front of them and giving her children everything she'd prepared. Then she finds out her husband got Reforged into a Minion and gets dangerously close to being killed by his hand, but she still tries to help her children from where she's trapped in the Garden of Souls. After her children get her back, she immediately joins them in combat, and without any prompting from anyone, astral projects herself all the way to Infershia to fetch her beloved husband and uses her magical energy (knowingly at great risk to her life) to drag him out of unconsciousness. Then she joins them in the final battle, including standing up to Dagon unarmed even after being knocked out of her transformation. Although she's visibly pushed to emotional and physical limits, she never loses courage for a single moment. Her children (especially Urara) got it from her as much as they did their father.
Miyuki: Now, I'm going to let you sort this out yourselves. (gets up from the table)
Kai: Mom, where're you going?
Miyuki: (with the casual tone of someone describing a shopping errand) To go look for your father. (disappears into hidden room nobody had realized was there)
(the rest of the family is dumbfounded)
Team Mom: Again, the name is kind of a hint. Urara basically fills the role when she's not around.
Understanding Girlfriend: Not only was she well aware of Blagel's identity as a Heavenly Saint before marrying him, she even had to make it clear that she understood exactly what she was getting into before he was willing to let her do so.
Miyuki: I love Isamu, and Isamu loves me. Since that's so obvious, you'd think we would get along just fine. But...But no matter what I did, Isamu refused to accept my feelings. He was a warrior, and could die at any time. He thought something terrible might happen to me, too. But what I truly feared was losing Isamu's love. As long as I had that, nothing could possibly frighten me. But, you know, through all that suffering and sadness, as long as we had each other, we could turn it into happiness. Even if we were physically separated, we had the memories of our love. That's what makes people strong.
The Worf Effect: Inverted. She's the first one to transform in the series, but she's immediately dispatched by Wolzard in the second episode. Because of this, combined with the fact she's a human magician without any Heavenly Saint blood, it's initially unclear how powerful Miyuki or MagiMother is supposed to be. Later, not only does it turn out she's Not Quite Dead, it's also implied she'd recognized Wolzard as her husband and was a little distracted by the shock. After the siblings get her back, she proceeds to use her magic to send herself down to Infershia and drag her husband back from the brink of death, then joins the rest of her family in the final battle, proving that while she's not a Heavenly Saint she's still quite the Empowered Badass Normal.

Isamu Ozu/Heavenly Saint Blagel/Wolzard Fire

Portrayed by: Tsutomu Isobe (live), Hideaki Kusaka (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blagel_2.png

^{Click to see Heavenly Saint Blagel}
^{Click to see his face as Isamu Ozu}
^{Click to see him as Wolzard Fire}

The Ozu siblings' father, who disappeared fifteen years ago. Miyuki had told the siblings that he had disappeared on an expedition to Antartica, but he was in fact the legendary Heavenly Saint Blagel, a greatly respected warrior from Magitopia. He and Miyuki fell in love, married, and had five children, with him taking the name "Isamu Ozu" while on the Surface World. After Infershia began invading the Surface World, Blagel broke Magitopia's non-interference policy to protect his family and sacrificed himself to seal the Gate.

Blagel was known for his courage and his philosophy of "chance is something you make yourself." Sungel (Hikaru), Lunagel, and Raigel had been his disciples, with Sungel and Lunagel continuing to follow in his footsteps. Meanwhile, all of the siblings were very young when he disappeared, and Kai was so young that he doesn't remember him at all, but Makito remembers him as a firm but kind father, and the siblings, especially Kai, strive to follow in his footsteps under Hikaru's guidance.

As a Heavenly Saint, his powers were related to fire, which were inherited by Kai.

The Ace: Considered the best warrior in Magitopia. He lives up to that, having fought against its armies single handedly, seal N Ma, and was only beaten because an injury from the Four Kings of Hell allowed N Ma to corrupt him into Wolzard. When he regains his memories, he successfully seals N Ma again and goes onto to defeat Sleipnir, something MagiLegend had failed in each encounter. Dagon notes that sealing N Ma inside him actually made him weaker, and that was after we saw Isamu defeat Wyvern (something the Magirangers had also failed at).
Action Dad: He was already a father during the first war with Infershia, and in fact his reason for breaking the Magitopian non-interference policy and spending so much time fighting was for his family's sake.
Baritone of Strength: A legendary and powerfull Magic Knight with a deep voice.
Badass in Distress: After attempting to pull a Taking You with Me with N Ma in Stage 34, and then after N Ma is extracted from him and he's left to die in Stage 44. In the end, he's rescued by Miyuki.
Big Damn Heroes: Shows up just in time to prevent the siblings from getting a pummeling at Wyvern's hands at the end of Stage 46.
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: He was fully aware he'd be performing a Heroic Sacrifice in order to seal the Gate, but he wanted to ensure his wife and children would be safe from Infershian forces until they could fight back themselves, and Miyuki had already resolved to take care of and protect the children in his absence. It was supposed to be a Heroic Sacrifice, but N Ma had other plans and made him into his puppet for the next fifteen years; once he's brought back to his senses, N Ma is defeated, and Sphinx takes over Infershia to make it a more peaceful place, he gladly goes back to his wife and children.
Did Not Die That Way: His and Miyuki's cover story for his frequent absences during the siblings' childhood was that he was an explorer by profession, so when he sacrificed himself to seal the Gate, Miyuki told the siblings that he'd disappeared on an expedition to Antarctica. The siblings find out the truth behind his identity as Heavenly Saint Blagel via Miyuki's Dead Man Writing message in Stage 3. Unbeknownst to even Miyuki at the time, he didn't die that way either.
Disappeared Dad: He wasn't in his children's lives for the last fifteen years thanks to his Heroic Sacrifice. Since Blagel was a Heavenly Saint and warrior, Miyuki was well aware of this being a possibility when she married him, and Isamu had made her promise to not tell them about Magitopia or magic until the time came. Turns out he's not dead but simply Reforged into a Minion, and he's eventually able to come back to his family and see how much his children have grown in the meantime.
Dub Name Change: "Roscoe" in the Korean dub.
11th-Hour Ranger: Wolzard Fire joins the team a handful of episodes before the finale.
Family Man: He wasn't able to be there for his children as much as he would have liked, but ultimately, his reason for his Heroic Sacrifice was specifically to protect his wife and children. Even after being brainwashed, any attempt to fight them results in Fighting from the Inside, and when everything is said and done at the end of the series he goes back to living happily with his family.
Fighting from the Inside: As Wolzard, he momentarily snaps back to his senses when hit by MagiMother's snow arrow and teleported her away at the last minute before the brainwashing kicks back in, which means he faked his wife's death so well that he didn't even remember he did it! Then, Wolzard's unusual fixation with making the siblings into Worthy Opponents started suspiciously resembling actual advice...
Good Costume Switch: From purple to red.
Good Is Not Soft: He was capable of being ruthless in battle if need be, including doing things like slashing Neries' throat (a necessary move given that her song could mass slaughter everyone in the vicinity, but nevertheless). It's because of this that Lunagel initially misinterprets him as not being kind.
Heroic Sacrifice: Sacrificed himself to seal the gate to Infershia fifteen years prior to the story. Or at least, that's what he intended to do, but then N Ma entered one of his wounds...
In-Series Nickname: Like with Sungel/Hikaru, his real name is his Heavenly Saint name Blagel, and "Isamu" is the name he uses in human society and with his family. Other Heavenly Saints and Blagel's enemies in Infershia still refer to him as Blagel, but Miyuki, who's well aware of his identity, calls him by his human name in a similar vein to how the Ozu siblings refer to Hikaru.
Loved I Not Honor More: Played with. He initially didn't want to accept Miyuki's feelings for him because he knew she'd have to deal with the hardships of being the lover of a Heavenly Saint warrior, but she was the one who insisted that she was more afraid of the idea of losing his love than anything else. He then decided to break Magitopia's Neutral No Longer policy and strike back at Infershia because of the fact the alternative would be to let them continue posing a threat to his new family, resulting in his Heroic Sacrifice fifteen years before the start of the story. Miyuki didn't regret it for one second and simply picked up where he left off.
Meaningful Name: The name "Isamu" uses the kanji for "courage".
Neutral No Longer: Magitopian policy is usually to let the humans on the Surface World deal with their own problems; the most they're allowed to do is help them use magic, but the humans are expected to use that magic to fight themselves. Since Blagel had married a human woman (Miyuki) and started a family with her, Blagel decided to break this policy and fight back against Infershia himself. Magiel only conceded because Miyuki had declared that she'd learn magic and join the fight if need be, and other Heavenly Saints, most notably his disciple Sungel (Hikaru), start following suit in assisting the Ozu family.
Palette Swap: Wolzard Fire just swaps out Wolzard's purple for red.
Papa Wolf: He loves his children so much that even his own brainwashed self as Wolzard can't stop trying to Stealth Mentor them while making excuses about Honor Before Reason or them being Not Worth Killing. The sequence of events that result in his brainwashing being undone starts with the sight of his children triggering latent memories and culminates in him completely breaking free after seeing Kai, his youngest child, in too much pain.
The Patriarch: Comes with having a huge family with five children. He takes this role after his return in Stages 47-49, although it's mostly in the pragmatic sense that he's the one most knowledgeable and qualified to lead the charge against N Ma; when things have calmed down, he mostly comes off as a normal dad.
Playing with Fire: His signature move was a tornado of flame. Kai inherited this from him, and he sometimes uses Blagel's special techniques via Power Incontinence.
Plot-Based Photograph Obfuscation: While we know he had a human appearance as "Isamu", his face is obscured and photos of him are conveniently cut off below the chin until the end of Stage 33, probably because anyone who knows Tsutomu Isobe's face would figure it out pretty quickly.
Team Dad: Once he comes back.
Signature Move: Blazing Storm, later upgraded to Blazing Storm Slash.
So Proud of You: This is basically his reaction to reuniting with his children after breaking free of his brainwashing.
Stern Teacher: Seems to have been this for Sungel/Hikaru, which carries over to Hikaru's own teachings with the kids. Lunagel initially mistakes his fierceness to mean that he was cold and unkind as a warrior, and she's later surprised when she sees photos of him smiling gently with the infant Kai, because she'd only ever known him in the context of him being an accomplished veteran warrior.
Tough Love: Downplayed; he's not particularly cold or cruel about it, but Makito remembers an incident in which he was crying after having been benched off the baseball team, and Isamu's response was to tell him to "be strong" (i.e. encouraging him to become strong enough to overcome it and support others instead of just giving him pity). Makito understood what he meant and describes his words were "strong but kind". After Isamu returns to the family, he doesn't mince words when giving Kai constructive criticism on what he needs to do to get stronger, and while it's legitimately good advice, it knocks the wind out of Kai's sails for a while.

Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: One in his normal state, and Jagun Shield as Wolzard Fire. And if Gokaiger is any indication, N Ma's eye is still there.
What Would X Do?: Very commonly invoked in regards to him, considering how deeply he's respected; in particular, Kai and Hikaru bring this up often. It gets especially ironic when it turns out they'd invoked it when fighting against Wolzard, who is him.
When You Coming Home, Dad?: Even back when he did live with the family, he wasn't able to come home often due to his "expeditions" (more accurately, fighting against Infershian forces in order to protect them), although he tried to make the most of his time with his family as he could. As a result, although Tsubasa, Urara, and Houka do remember him to some degree, Makito is the only one whose memories of him are particularly clear or detailed.
The Worf Effect: There's no doubt that his strength is worthy of his legendary status, but unfortunately, by the time he's able to properly join the family as Wolzard Fire, N Ma has passed the Godzilla Threshold and can use Energy Absorption.
World's Strongest Man: Is regarded as the strongest warrior in Magitopia; note that the Hades Beastman Zee actually claims that Blagel was the only warrior stronger than him.

Allies

Mandra Boy

Portrayed by: Kumiko Higa (voice)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mandra.png

A talking plant who was tasked by Miyuki with teaching the siblings about magic and Magitopia in the case of her death. He provides basic info to help the siblings with their self-study in the early parts of the series, serving as the closest thing they have to The Mentor until Hikaru shows up to give them more formalized training. He also hosts the Magic Spell Corner at the end of most episodes, introducing a major spell that was used within each episode.

Brown Note: Like the mandrakes he's based on, he will let out one if pulled from his pot, though it's only ever played for laughs. It's apparently lethal to normal (non-magician) humans.
- He will also do this when in a state of great despair. Again, only ever played for laughs.
Butt-Monkey: The siblings do like him, but they tend to casually let him be a casualty of any humorous shenanigans that go on in the magic room. Hikaru's introduction in Stage 20 has him hijack the episode's magic spell introduction from him, leaving him to cry about being upstaged.
Creepy Good: He's based on a mandrake, specifically its legendary connotations of letting out a deadly screech that will kill everyone in the vicinity when uprooted, but (at least when not pulled out of his pot) he's nothing but genuinely polite and helpful to the siblings.
Mentor Mascot: Is more or less the mentor to the team in the first part of the series, giving the Ozu siblings advice on how to use their magic and how to defeat certain monsters. He fades out of this role after Hikaru becomes their teacher, but he continues to show off his knowledge by continuing to do the magic introduction segments at the end of each episode.
Noodle Incident: According to him, he's "deeply indebted" to Miyuki and agreed to help her children as a way to return the favor. We're never told what exactly she did for him, but he adores her so much that he cries about the fact the siblings got to see an illusory image and he didn't, and he completely breaks down crying when she returns home in Stage 42.
Plant People: Is based on a mandrake plant.
Ridiculously Cute Critter: Initial appearance aside, he's quite endearing and cute.
Shoo Out the Clowns: He already starts to fade out of story prominence once Hikaru and Smoky are introduced into the narrative due to them taking both the roles of The Mentor and Team Pet from him, but once the series starts hitting a certain level of drama he ends up utterly relegated to Funny Background Event and end-of-episode segment duty.
Throw the Dog a Bone: After repeatedly being made into a hapless Butt-Monkey at the end of the spell introduction sequences, Stage 44 has him also getting to have a tearful reunion with Miyuki, and Stage 46 has Wolzard Fire acknowledge his explanation, which makes him thrilled.
Undying Loyalty: He claims to be "fickle", but despite being the Butt-Monkey for anything that happens in the Magic Room he's utterly devoted to the Ozu family and is sad whenever he gets left out even when the siblings are getting into dangerous situations. His attachment to the siblings is also out of genuine affection and not just out of obligation to their mother, but he misses Miyuki as much as the siblings do.
Verbal Tic: Finishes his sentences with an incredibly long "-de gozarimasu desu" (a grammatically nonsensical and needlessly long way of being polite).
Vitriolic Best Buds: He starts off with an antagonistic relationship with Smoky, but they do end up getting along after a while, including conspiring together to enable Urara and Hikaru's relationship.

Smoky

Smoky the Magical Cat

Portrayed by: Takeshi Kusao (voice), Yasuhiro Takeuchi (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magi_smoky.png

^{Click to see him outside the lamp}

A Magical Cat who resides in Hikaru's MagiLamp. He grants a wish to anyone who rubs his lamp (if you compensate him, at least), but he's limited in what he can do, so he contributes to granting the siblings' wish to defeat Infershia by assisting them in any way he can.

Originally a good-for-nothing prankster born from a volcano in Magitopia, he was cursed when he opened a box he was warned not to open and would have died if Hikaru hadn't saved him by putting him in the MagiLamp. As a result, he's unable to leave his lamp for more than three hours or else he'll disappear; the only way to break the curse is for him to grant people's wishes and become "an exemplary Magical Cat".

Cats Are Mean: He started off as a prankster who caused everyone in Magitopia trouble in very cat-like ways (scratching things and destroying things), and even after Hikaru took him in, he's still quite the Jerkass.
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Looks like a coward that's too lazy to do anything a glance, but he grows to a giant size that makes the normal Kaiju sized entities in the series look tiny.
Difficult, but Awesome: As Kai finds out the hard way, those without enough skill in magic can't make proper use of the MagiLamp Buster, making Hikaru pretty much its exclusive user for the most part. Urara later manages to work with it in Stage 26, presumably due to having gotten some proper magical training from Hikaru as well as Smoky having warmed up to her.
Family of Choice: He has no blood relatives since he was born from volcano smoke, but the series all but verbally establishes Hikaru as his father figure and (starting in Stage 26) outright has Smoky consider Urara as his mother figure, even more so after the two marry and move to Magitopia with him.
Fastball Special: Flies out of the MagiLamp Buster for his Finishing Move.
Genie in a Bottle: He's afflicted with a curse that'll kill him if he leaves his lamp for more than three hours, with granting wishes being his Curse Escape Clause.
Insistent Appellation: He can't be bothered to actually learn the siblings' names, referring to them only with their positions in the family (for instance, Kai is "third son"). He also calls Hikaru "Master" (due to being under his care), and starts calling Urara by name after she bonds with him in Stage 26.
I Owe You My Life: Ultimately the reason he remains loyal to Hikaru, no matter how much he gripes about it.
Jackass Genie: There aren't actually any rules as to how many wishes he can grant, and he's supposed to be taking as many as he needs to become an exemplary Magical Cat, but he's only up for granting one per person. Oh, and you have to give him advance pre-payment for it, too. That said, he's fine with accepting things like sushi and catnip for payment, and once he's accepted the job he'll make an honest attempt.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Well, maybe not completely gold, but there's some good in there somewhere; he may be a coward who loves to complain and cause trouble for others, but he's still there to help the siblings and Hikaru when they need him. Hikaru notes that he's been improving significantly ever since he met the siblings.
Mega Neko: Once he leaves his lamp.
Missing Mom: Being born of a volcano, Smoky never had a mother. He ends up getting a mother figure in Urara in Stage 26, with her becoming the only person besides Hikaru who can use one of his special attacks.
Morality Pet: Despite his complaining, his loyalty to Hikaru is genuine (at least, when push comes to shove), and Urara eventually becomes another one for him when she becomes his mother figure, even more so after she becomes Hikaru's wife.
Shipper on Deck: When Hikaru attempts to pull a But Now I Must Go on the Ozu family in Stage 47, Smoky suddenly claims that Travelion needs repairs and won't be ready until the next day; naturally, it turns out to be a ploy between him and Mandra Boy to give Urara an opportunity to ask him out for the day. While basically everyone in Hikaru and Urara's vicinity had been trying to get them together, Smoky naturally has a bigger stake in keeping them together since Urara had become somewhat of a mother figure to him.
Taking the Bullet: Takes a fatal hit for Urara in Stage 48, shortly after Hikaru's own death. He's brought back at the same time Hikaru is, presumably also by Nai and Mea.
Our Genies Are Different: His "granting wishes" simply means doing what the person requests to the best of his ability; while he's very powerful, he's not omnipotent (for instance, when the siblings wish to "defeat Infershia", he doesn't have any Reality Warper powers to make them instantly disappear or anything, so the most he can do is join their side and help them fight). He also requires payment for his services, but that's just him being a Jackass Genie instead of anything that comes with his powers.
Undying Loyalty: While he complains about Hikaru and wants to be free from him, it's more in the sense of a child complaining about an overbearing parent, and in the end Smoky is genuine about being there to protect Hikaru. It's to the point that when Hikaru entrusts him with protecting Urara under the tacit understanding that he probably won't be returning home alive, Smoky complains that he needs to be there to protect his master instead, only relenting when Hikaru reminds him that protecting Urara means protecting his wife on his behalf.

Yuka Yamazaki

Portrayed by: Kaoru Hirata

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yamazaki_4.jpg

The Cute Sports Club Manager of Kai's soccer club, whom he has a crush on. Kai asks her out at the beginning of the series, only for her to turn him down because she's infatuated with MagiRed, her "beloved magician". Despite that, the two continue to have a friendly relationship, and The Movie centers around Kai dropping everything to rescue her when she's kidnapped by a Hades Beastman.

Back for the Finale: She bears witness to the moment the Ozu family defeats N Ma once and for all, cheering Kai on.
Breaking Old Trends: Ever since Gaoranger, it had been tradition for summer movies to feature a movie-exclusive female guest character to have Ship Tease or even a full-on romance with the series Red, but since Kai already had Yamazaki as a Love Interest, she became the focus of the Magiranger movie instead. On top of allowing for more time to flesh out the story instead of introducing a new character, it also resulted in the movie having closer continuity with the series, since it's the turning point in which Yamazaki figures out Kai is MagiRed, the prelude and aftermath of which are shown in Stages 25 and 39-40 respectively.
Cute Sports Club Manager: She serves as the manager of Kai's soccer club. Part of the conflict between Kai and Yamazaki in Stages 39-40 has to do with a disagreement over how Kai treats his teammates.
Damsel in Distress: The movie has her kidnapped and hypnotized into becoming the bride of Glum do Bridon, who needed a "pure-hearted" girl to marry in order to raise an army. Kai goes on an entire adventure to crash the wedding and rescue her, complete with Bridal Carry on the way out.
Exact Words: The beginning of the movie has her playfully agree to consider putting Kai first in her thoughts if he scores the next goal to win their next match. By the time his next soccer match rolls around, he fails to make the goal, not realizing that she does consider MagiRed kicking a magical ball and breaking Glum do Bridon's spell on her to be close enough.
Good Costume Switch: MagiRed breaking Glum do Bridon's hypnosis on her somehow changes her evil-looking black wedding dress into a more traditional white one, mainly to enhance the Ship Tease imagery as MagiRed evacuates her with a Bridal Carry.
Hypnotize the Captive: Since Yamazaki naturally refuses to marry Glum do Bridon, Meemy creates a ring that hypnotizes her into chanting her love for him in a Creepy Monotone. Once MagiRed bursts in to rescue her, the first thing he does is smash the altar and break its control on her.
Just Friends: Even when it seems like the relationship has no chance of moving forward anytime soon (due to Yamazaki rejecting him early in the series), the two continue to be good friends without issue. Even before she finds out about Kai's identity in the movie and gets to see his heroic feats in action, Yamazaki does genuinely respect Kai and enjoy hanging out with him.
Love Interest: To Kai. She turns him down at the beginning of the series, and he takes it gracefully and continues to be friends with her, but it's clear he still has feelings for her and doesn't quite want to give up yet. After she finds out Kai is actually MagiRed himself, she doesn't act on that knowledge, but her continuing to call MagiRed her "beloved magician" hints she may still be interested in him after all.
Love Triangle: Kai would still have dropped everything to rescue her no matter what, but the fact the Glum do Bridon's Evil Plan involved marrying Yamazaki certainly added another reason for Kai to be upset.
Nice Girl: Even after turning down Kai, she continues to have a good relationship with him; she even makes him a homemade keychain to cheer him up in Stage 25. Whenever Kai causes her trouble, while she doesn't hesitate to express her annoyance, she ultimately doesn't hold it against him and continues to be genuinely supportive.
Rescue Romance: The main reason she fell in love with MagiRed. Whenever she doesn't see MagiRed for a a while, she starts losing interest in him and starts to act more favorable towards the idea of going out with Kai, only for her to fall completely back in love with MagiRed whenever he rescues her again — meaning Kai sabotages his own relationship chances every time he rescues her as MagiRed. At least until the movie, in which her rescuer acting a little too much like Kai tips her off to his identity.
Secret Secret-Keeper: Finds out that Kai is MagiRed in the movie, but chooses not to tell him throughout the rest of the series.
Single Woman Seeks Good Man: She likes MagiRed for his heroism and courage, and whenever she's favorable to Kai it's when he shows similarly good traits. This continues to apply even after she finds out they're the same person.
Something Only They Would Say: It's implied that she was already starting to figure it out anyway, but she becomes certain about Kai's identity as MagiRed when he rescues her with a soccer kick and affectionately pinches her cheeks, a gesture Kai had done to her earlier in the movie. Kai himself doesn't seem to have realized this was what gave it away, allowing Yamazaki to be a Secret Secret-Keeper by the end of the movie.
Spanner in the Works: A whole six series later, the sight of an adult Yamazaki giving some young girls a MagiRed plushie like the one she had in Stage 25 ends up becoming one of the factors that convinces the Gokaigers not to erase the Super Sentai from history, since their deeds gave the people of Earth strength and courage.
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Turns out that if someone knows you well enough, and you keep showing up to rescue them and acting the same way you always do, they'll figure out your Secret Identity pretty quickly.
Two-Person Love Triangle: Kai does actually confess to her, but she turns him down because she's enamored with MagiRed... who, of course, is Kai, but she doesn't know that. Even worse, she does actually enjoy Kai's company well enough and would be likely to accept his feelings if it weren't for MagiRed, a fact that frustrates him to no end. She figures out his identity in the movie but doesn't tell him that she knows; while her feelings on him are ambiguous, she implies in Stage 40 that she's still in love with him.
Will They or Won't They?: Ultimately, the series ends with her and Kai's relationship on an ambiguous note. Her cameo appearance in Gokaiger doesn't confirm whether they got together or not, but she does at least still hold MagiRed in enough high esteem to continue carrying her handmade doll of him around.
What the Hell, Hero?: She's perfectly willing to call Kai out whenever he acts selfishly or when he causes trouble, which is usually effective in getting him to seriously reconsider. She doesn't do it because she's angry at him, but because she knows he can do better and is genuinely worried about him.

Heavenly Saint Lunagel/Rin

Portrayed by: Meibi Yamanouchi (live), Hirofumi Fukuzawa (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lunagel.jpg

^{Click to see her initial appearance as "Rin"}
^{Click to see Heavenly Saint Lunagel}

One of Blagel's disciples alongside Sungel (Hikaru) and Raigel. Fifteen years ago, after Blagel sealed the Gate, Lunagel locked it by making herself into the "Key", allowing the Gate to remain sealed as long as she stays alive; however, Raigel betrayed them and tried to kill her, sending her into the Surface World with Identity Amnesia. Kai finds her and names her "Rin", and her memories are restored thanks to one of Tsubasa's potions.

After getting her memories back, she suddenly takes up a cold attitude and insists that the siblings are too soft, claiming that Blagel was a cold-hearted and rational warrior, but Kai catches on that Lunagel herself is still a kind person who simply convinced herself kindness was unnecessary. Afterwards, she returns to Magitopia and shows up every once in a while to help the siblings and Hikaru.

Amnesiac Dissonance: She starts off as a kind and gentle girl as "Rin", only to suddenly sharply swerve into an Ice Queen the moment she gets her memories back. She tries to act as if anything that happened beforehand doesn't matter and that they shouldn't have trusted her, but Kai quickly changes her mind.
Barrier Maiden: Her being alive keeps the Infershia Gate sealed.
Commuting on a Bus: Returns to Magitopia shortly after her first appearance, and doesn't return until much later. Part of it is because she's busy resuming her duties as a Heavenly Saint, but it's mostly just because she simply isn't as attached to the Ozu family as Isamu or Hikaru is, so she's much less invested in their conflict with Infershia and only drops by when she feels like it.
Defrosting Ice Queen: After she gets her memories back, she's initially a Jerkass to the Magirangers and believes them to be too soft, but she eventually manages to lighten up.
Force Feeding: The siblings not forcibly cramming the memory potion down her throat as "Rin" is what gets Lunagel angry at them once she gets her memory back, as she takes their hesitation (actually them simply wanting to respect her feelings and let her get her memories back on her own terms) as a sign of their weakness.
Identity Amnesia: Initially due to Meemy, with a dose of Wistful Amnesia.
In-Series Nickname: Even after she recovers her identity as Heavenly Saint Lunagel, Kai and his siblings continue to call her "Rin". Hikaru and other characters who knew her beforehand still call her by her real name.
Line-of-Sight Name: Due to her Identity Amnesia, Kai names her "Rin" after the bell on her bracelet.
Knight in Sour Armor: Her experiences have left her quite cynical about the need for "kindness" in fighting. Even after Kai and his siblings get her to reconsider, she still has a noticeably more detached attitude towards others compared to Hikaru.
Knight of Cerebus: Rare non-villainious example for the franchise. Prior to her appearance, the siblings had mostly been coping with the aftermath of their mother's death and staving off attacks from the Monster of the Week. Lunagel's appearance introduces several important details behind the war fifteen years ago, including the traitor Raigel. From there, the story drastically shifts to building up the backstory behind the siblings' lost father, the introduction of other Heavenly Saints such as Sungel (Hikaru) and Raigel (Meemy), and the nature of Infershia's Evil Plan, with the dramatic tension of the narrative significantly kicking up from there.
Lunacy: On a strictly thematic level.
The Not-Love Interest: Kai forms a deep emotional bond with her as "Rin" and has a number of moments with her that could be taken as Ship Tease if not for the fact Kai makes no indication of being interested in her romantically, especially since he's more clearly romantically interested in Yamazaki. Ultimately, he treats Rin as a Cool Big Sis and a somewhat honorary member of the family.
- Similarly, she and Hikaru have a shared past as Blagel's deciples and a Solar and Lunar motif, but while they have a considerable amount of trust and respect in each other, it's never hinted that their relationship is anything but professional (based on Smoky referring to her as Urara's "in-law" in the epilogue, she could also be interpreted as being a Cool Big Sis figure to Hikaru as well).
Trauma Conga Line: Her cynicism after having her memories restored is implied to come from the multiple blows of her friend betraying them, another friend getting turned into a frog in the process of sealing him, and her mentor dying, leading her to conclude that any kind of kindness is a sign of weakness.
Wedding Smashers: A severely injured and barely conscious Lunagel bursts in and interrupts Hikaru and Urara's Almost Kiss at the altar to break the news that Magiel is dead and Magitopia has fallen. Hikaru and Urara still consider themselves to be married by the next morning, so it's at worst a Moment Killer (and given how grave the situation was, it's not like anyone could blame her).

Heavenly Saint Snowgel

Portrayed by: Keiko Han (voice), Naoko Kamio (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/snowgel_baby.png

^{Click to see her full form in battle}

One of the eldest Heavenly Saints, as well as Miyuki's patron. Seeing Miyuki and Blagel's death along with Raigel's betrayal, she was so deeply hurt that she isolated herself in a sea of her tears. When the siblings approach her for help, she initially refuses out of grief, but after they prove their courage she decides to have faith in them and awakens their Legend powers.

She usually appears in the form of a baby in a cradle, but she can take a more humanoid form when entering battle.

Achilles in His Tent: She copes with her grief over losing Miyuki and her fellow Heavenly Saints by shutting herself in her own own sea of tears until the siblings convince her they can still hold their own. Her time spent out bites her in the rear later when she's not in optimal condition to face Drake.
An Ice Person: She's where Miyuki gets it from.
Bare-Fisted Monk: When she fights Drake, she says she'll keep her hands "blank" as a handicap.

Never Mess with Granny: She's one of the eldest Heavenly Saints, but everyone still defers to her judgment, and she can join the field personally if she wants.
Figure It Out Yourself: She gives Hikaru a trial by telling him he needs to learn something from Kai but doesn't say what, with the reasoning that Hikaru won't learn anything unless he figures it out on his own. This initially leaves him frustrated because he's not convinced he can learn anything from someone so reckless and immature, but the experience of figuring it out does indeed succeed in knocking his Pride down a few pegs.
The Older Immortal: She's one of the Primordial Heavenly Saints, meaning she came into the world with Magitopia itself, unlike others who are either humans who ascended or their descendants.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Compared to Magiel's ambivalence about humans, Snowgel genuinely liked Miyuki to the point she mourned her loss deeply, and the only reason she initially dismisses the Ozu siblings asking for her help is from grief over all of the losses she'd seen. Afterwards, she even advises Hikaru to study from Kai, and she apparently has hopes for Hikaru to succeed Magiel someday.
Sleep-Mode Size: Snowgel first appears as a baby version of herself swaddled in a cocoon.
Sour Outside, Sad Inside: She acts standoffish and is dismissive of the idea of the Ozu siblings defeating Infersia even if their dormant magic was awakened at first, but only because of the heartbreak from watching her disciple, Miyuki, and her fellow Heavenly Saints, Raigel and Blagel, fall to darkness despite their tremendous power.
Super-Empowering: Grants Miyuki the ability to become MagiMother, and her children their Legend Modes.

Worf Had the Flu: The only time we actually see her fight is against Hades God Drake, but due to her old age and her long time spent outside of the fight, she can't beat him even with the help of the Magirangers.

Heavenly Saint Magiel

Portrayed by: Machiko Soga

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magiel.png

The leader of Magitopia, who maintains a strong stance on Magitopia not interfering with Surface World matters. She initially opposed Blagel choosing to fight Infershia to protect her human family, and she isn't very pleased to see the Ozu siblings stepping foot into Magitopia to request if they can borrow Blagel's legendary horse, but she hears them out and doesn't hold a grudge. Surprisingly quite the Large Ham. Definitely not a witch from the planet Nemesis.

Big Good: The leader of all good mages and most powerful force of good to the point that she can make a complete fool out of N Ma himself.
Chekhov's Skill: She takes notes from Blagel faking Miyuki's death by teleporting her away at the last second and does it herself in the finale, allowing her to escape safely and rebuild Magitopia.
The High Queen: The leader of Magitopia, whom all Heavenly Saints and magicians defer to. It does seem like there is some line of succession for the position, since Snowgel is hoping for Sungel (Hikaru) to become her successor someday.
Large Ham: As you might expect from someone played by Machiko Soga.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Less so compared to Snowgel, since she still tries to uphold Magitopia's status as a Hidden Elf Village and is reluctant to help humans directly, but she does ultimately concede to letting Blagel join the war against Infershia and letting the siblings borrow Blagel's horse Unigolon to rescue Yamazaki after Miyuki and the siblings demonstrate their courage, albeit with obvious reluctance.
Our Giants Are Bigger: She's unusually humanoid for a Heavenly Saint, but she's still far more gigantic than any human being and completely towers over everyone, including other Heavenly Saints (however, she's not as big as the Infershia Gods can get).

Infershia

General

Expy: Of the Saima, as demons acting on the will of their leader, who is unable lead until fully restored to serve as the Final Boss.

Hades Beast Emperor N Ma/Absolute God N Ma

Portrayed by: Katsumi Shiono (voice, Hades Beast Emperor), Daisuke Namikawa (voice, Absolute God), suit actor unknown

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zettai_shin_n_ma.png

^{Click to see his full body}

The Top God of Infershia, a dark cephalopoid demon who plots to devour all magic in existence to sate his never-ending hunger and destroy all that is good and shining. Infershia's goal is to fully resurrect him.

Big Bad: Head of Infershia and the ultimate threat the Magirangers face as well as the cause of the misery everyone went through.
Bishounen Line: Downplayed. His final form is considerably more humanoid compared to his original Chthulhu-esque visage, but he still looks like a hideous monster, especially when his head's covering is taken off.
Combat Tentacles: His main method of physical attack, which also helps to channel his magic-devouring powers.
Cthul Humanoid: Becomes more evident whenever he starts eating magic as his body spawns tentacles from thin air.
Eldritch Abomination: N Ma is an incomprehensible eldritch horror that resembles Cthulhu and is even capable of consuming "time itself". Even his name evokes the impression of something not intended to be pronounced by humans.
Energy Absorption: His dreaded secret power? The ability to consume all magic and courage a power that lets him plow through just about every single hero that dares to fight him. However, this is ultimately turned against him by the Magirangers feeding him too much to the point he explodes.
Expy: His original form heavily resembles Cthulhu, being a cephalopod-esque Eldritch Abomination (although official word is that this wasn't originally intended). The state he's in throughout most of the series, a single, fiery eye, is also a reference to Sauron.
Extra Eyes: In his final incarnation he has four eyes, though one is always closed as a nod to the one that Blagel "stole" from him.
God-Emperor: Even referred as a god by his subordinates, Infershia Pantheon included.
Greater-Scope Villain: He's established as top villain from the first episode, but spends most of the series sealed and needs his minions to actually put his plans in motion.
Horror Hunger: Is described by Blagel as a mass of hunger and nightmares.
Magic Eater: His most dangerous ability is to eat any kind of magic, making him a dangerous threat to Magitopia and the heroes. The Rangers defeated him by turning this ability against him.
Mind Rape: Merely seeing him is enough forHikaru to be filled with a terrible of vision of his own death.
Omnicidal Maniac: Desires the destruction and consumption of all existence to fill the void within himself.
Orcus on His Throne: As he's a Sealed Evil in a Can for most of the series, he is unable to actually do anything. When that is no longer a factor, everything in the series goes to hell.
Sealed Evil in a Can: At first. He almost escapes, but Isamu remembers who he is in time to prevent this, destroying his original body in the process. His spirit survives and eventually possesses Titan.
Tentacled Terror: His original form is of a giant, monstrous octopus-squid.
The Voiceless: Initially, but he's more talkative in his final form.

Wolzard

Sorcery Knight Wolzard

Portrayed by: Tsutomu Isobe (voice), Hideaki Kusaka (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolzard.png

A dark magician who serves as an Arch-Enemy to the Magirangers. In fact, he's completely capable of handing the Magirangers a Curb-Stomp Battle, but for some reason he keeps sparing or even helping them on the grounds of the defeat being through cowardly means, them not being worth killing, or telling them to get stronger before they meet again (with statements that are surprisingly useful advice). Naturally, both the Infershian generals and the Magirangers can't make heads or tails of his behavior.

Kai has the most personal vendetta against Wolzard for having killed Miyuki, and conversely, Wolzard seems to be particularly interested in Kai for some reason...

As a dark magician, he can use a large variety of combat magic, and he can combine with his horse Barikion to form the giant Urukaiser.

Animal Motifs: Wolves. Specifically, werewolves, particularly the part about being cursed to turn into wolves against their will...
Black Knight: Well, purple, but close enough.
Cool Horse: A giant mecha, with which he can combine. They don't come much cooler.
The Dragon: During Branken and Meemy's "regimes".
Evil Counterpart: He looks like an evil version of the Magirangers. This is extremely intentional.

Evil Feels Good: Stages 21 and 23 have him specifically track down Hikaru and try to fight him on the grounds that he's wasting his time teaching the siblings, and that they should be learning about dark magic and how strong it is instead. Given later revelations, plus the fact he cuts out this behavior exactly when he witnesses the bond between the siblings and Hikaru, it's most likely a distortion of Blagel checking up on his student and trying to size up whether he can do a good job being the siblings' mentor.
- In Stage 24, Hikaru, on the verge of a Heroic Sacrifice for Tsubasa's sake, warns Tsubasa about getting Drunk on the Dark Side and uses Wolzard as an example of what not to become. Wolzard is so offended by this that he destroys the mountain that would have enforced the Heroic Sacrifice and pulls out the staff, bragging about how dark magic lets you bypass rules and challenging Hikaru to take it back from him. This was probably Blagel interfering to provide an opening so that neither his son (Tsubasa) nor his student (Hikaru) would have to die.
Hero Killer: He takes out Miyuki early on and is never anything less than a dire threat. Or not; he prevented himself from killing Miyuki at the last second, and he spends the next half a series coming up with excuses to not have to kill Blagel's loved ones.
Honor Before Reason: One of his reasons for sometimes helping the Magirangers or letting them off the hook is that he has a strict honor code he prioritizes, to the point he sometimes even comes off as a Stealth Mentor to them. That's his true nature as Isamu trying to help his kids through the brainwashing.
Joker Immunity: He gets blown up several times, and it never takes. Blagel earned his fame as a warrior for good reason.
Noble Demon: Tries to avoid killing anybody he doesn't feel is worth killing, and has a sort-of comradeship with the other villains, minus Branken because he attacks him more than once.
Not Worth Killing: One of his many reasons for why he doesn't kill the Rangers when he can, or at least, that's what he tells himself...
Opponent Instruction: His advice to the Magirangers on how to become stronger is legitimately useful advice, almost as if he's trying to Stealth Mentor them. He is, albeit unconsciously.
Our Centaurs Are Different: The WolCentaurus formation.
Purple Is the New Black: Referred by Hikaru as the "black magician" in the same vein as the Magirangers' color titles.
Soul Jar: N Ma entered his body through one of his wounds and is the reason Blagel is Brainwashed and Crazy. After being freed, Blagel willingly takes N Ma back into himself in an attempt to keep him as a Sealed Evil in a Can, and while he keeps his sanity this time he's physically trapped in Wolzard's form until the Hades Gods yank N Ma out of him.
Villain Takes an Interest: He seems to have a fascination with all of the Magirangers, but this is especially pronounced when it comes to Kai/MagiRed, to the point of allowing him to use his horse Barikion and expressing an interest in his potential. Kai, for his part, is the Ozu sibling who most passionately hates him for killing Miyuki at the start of the series and sees him as his Arch-Enemy. As it turns out, Wolzard's attempts to make the Magirangers into his Worthy Opponents are actually Isamu Fighting from the Inside and trying to Stealth Mentor his children; his particular investment in Kai is implied to come out of regret for the fact he couldn't be there for him as much as his other siblings, as well as seeing the most of himself in Kai.

Worf Had the Flu: Having to constantly keep N Ma in check actually made Wolzard weaker. Once Isamu returns to the family, Kai finds out the hard way that he's not even remotely on the same level as his father at full strength. Wolzard had already subjected the Magirangers to many a Curb-Stomp Battle, but had he been able to tap into all of Blagel's strength, the Magirangers wouldn't even have been able to squeeze out as much as they did.
Wrecked Weapon: After Kai outright shatters his sword, he takes up Branken's and spends a few episodes reforging it into a substitute.

Vancuria/Nai and Mea

Phantom Spy Vancuria/Nai and Mea

Portrayed by: Misa Watanabe (Vancuria, voice), Masaru Obayashi (Vancuria, suit), Chiaki Horan (Nai), Tomomi Kitagami (Mea)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nai_mea.png

Nai (left) and Mea (right)

Vancuria

The immortal queen of vampires (and by immortal, we mean completely immortal, no ifs or buts). Because she can't be killed the same way twice, she lacks all of the standard vampire weaknesses and can still turn people into vampires under her control.

Because eternal life has made her lonely, she has a habit of splitting herself into two Elegant Gothic Lolita girls named Nai and Mea. This splits her consciousness and combat abilities between the two of them, so it's something she does to ease boredom and loneliness instead of for any practical reason.

Back from the Dead: Comes back to life automatically whenever she dies, immune to whatever killed her in the first place.

Creepy Twins: Nai and Mea, who are a pair of Elegant Gothic Lolita.
Easily Forgiven: Of course, making it up by singlehandedly turning the tide of the battle in the family's favor with their Story-Breaker Power certainly is a good reason, but it's ironic that Houka, the same person they'd made into their brainwashed vampire slave earlier in the series, is the first to go up and hug them in thanks because she's such an All-Loving Hero she doesn't hold a grudge. It's also possible she remembered what they'd briefly mentioned to her about being lonely and sympathized to some degree.
Elegant Gothic Lolita: Nai and Mea's aesthetic.
Even Evil Has Standards: On top of Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal, the final tipping point in getting Vancuria to turn is witnessing Sphinx get executed in front of her eyes.
Heel–Face Turn: Ultimately sides with the heroes, helped along by the Pantheon's abuse.

I Just Want to Have Friends: As a backstory, this is the reason she obtained the ability to split herself into Nai and Mea, being immortal meant she got so lonely she needed somebody to be around for eternity. They take the time to explain this to Houka while they have her as her brainwashed slave, maybe implying that they're genuinely happy to have her company on some level. After Vancuria's Heel–Face Turn in the finale, Nai and Mea are seen in contact with Kai and the rest of the Ozu family, suggesting much more positive prospects for them.
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Nai and Mea become this increasingly as the series goes on and their threat level falls far behind that of pretty much the rest of the Infershia Pantheon, especially the Hades Gods. Eventually, they fall so far into this that they just go for the full Heel–Face Turn.
It Amused Me: While she's loyal to the Infershian side, she mostly does what she does for the hell of it and having fun, and she doesn't have any particularly strong principles or vendettas, just trying to ease the boredom that comes from being immortal. This is presumably why she switches to the heroes' side very quickly at the end of the series; she had no real attachment to N Ma nor the Infershian generals who were starting to treat her poorly anyway, whereas Sphinx's speech about the potential of courage provided a new, better opportunity for her.
Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: The main reason for her quickly making a Heel–Face Turn near the end is that the higher members of the Sorting Algorithm of Evil had started kicking her around and generally treating her like dirt. More specifically, she decides to bring Sphinx back and pledge loyalty to her because she's the only one of the remaining Infershian generals to actually be a reasonable person.
Noodle Incident: It's implied she was in a relationship with Belbireji once. She really doesn't want to talk about it.
Our Vampires Are Different: Is a Queen of the Vampires and is immune to the standard vampire weaknesses in addition to having Resurrective Immortality.
Resurrective Immortality: She will eventually return from the dead seemingly no matter how many times she's killed. She can also resurrect other people if she wants.
Self-Duplication: Splitting herself into Nai and Mea separates her powers between them. Notably, she doesn't really seem to do this because it helps her in combat; she just does it because she's lonely, even if it means splitting her powers in half. Nai is implied to be the "main" personality, since Mea mostly follows what Nai does and repeats or finishes her sentences.
Story-Breaker Power: Needless to say, her ability to resurrect people would have ended the story much earlier if she'd used it at any point before the finale, but at no point did she use it on any of the Infershian generals despite the fact an immortal force would have made the Magirangers' life that much harder. It's not stated what limitations this ability might have, if at all; the three people she used it on had all left a corpse or something of the sort behind, so she may not have been able to use it on all of the other cases where Never Found the Body applied.
Token Good Teammate: She at least has the decency to mourn Branken's death, and she seems to have no personal beefs with Wolzard, so she's probably the least overtly malicious of the Infershian generals. It's probably not surprising that she eventually decides to call it quits and switch sides.
Underboobs: In her normal form her breasts are covered on the top but not the bottom half.
Villain Decay: Is a huge danger initially, but after her first defeat, she gradually becomes less and less of a threat to point where Nai and Mea are only around for comic relief, up until she decides she's had enough and singlehandedly turns things in the Magirangers' favor.
Wings Below The Waist: Vancuria has a set of wings connected to her hips, which fold up into a faux-skirt when not in use.
Who Wants to Live Forever?: She's lived so long that she's had to resort to splitting herself into two people every so often to ease the loneliness. She doesn't seem to be a Death Seeker and in fact is proud of being immortal, but she's very, very bored.

Branken

Victory General Branken

Portrayed by: Hisao Egawa (voice), Jiro Okamoto (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/branken.png

The first major Infershian general the Magirangers have to face, Branken started off as a footsoldier High Zobil before making himself into a Cyborg and going through Mook Promotion. He firmly believes in Infershia's dog-eat-dog philosophy and is prone to fits of rage. He despises Wolzard, and the feeling is mutual.

BFS: The Imperial Sword Hell Fang, which is one of N Ma's fangs forged into a sword.
The Brute: He's the only major character unable to use magic.
Cassandra Truth: Well, in some sense, he wasn't wrong about Wolzard being a Magitopian spy...
Disc-One Final Boss: While we know N Ma is top dog from the beginning, Branken is the one actually running the show at first. His death gives the team their first major victory and closes out the first "arc".
Frankenstein's Monster: Going with the them of the generals bearing appearances to famous monsters, Branken is based on this. His name even rhymes with the word.
Hair-Trigger Temper: When in a bad mood, he'll lash out at most anything. Hence he and Wolzard are on poor terms.
High-Pressure Emotion: Vents steam when angry (well, angrier than usual).
Mook Promotion: Branken used to be just another High Zobil, but clawed up the ranks to become the short tempered hot head we see him as in the show.

This Cannot Be!: When the Magirangers deliver the fatal blow to him, he is left in disbelief that he lost, his last words were him shouting "I am Victory General Branken!".
Visual Pun: Steam blows out of his mechanical horn when he gets really angry. He's literally letting off steam.

Meemy

Sorcery Priest Meemy

Portrayed by: Yasuhiro Takato (voice), Yuichi Hachisuka (suit)

Meemy

^{Click to see Heavenly Saint Raigel}

Formerly Heavenly Saint Raigel, one of Blagel's disciples alongside Sungel (Hikaru) and Lunagel. Raigel decided that magic should be used only for one's own desires and betrayed his fellow Heavenly Saints, resulting in Lunagel being sent down to the Surface World with Identity Amnesia. Sungel (Hikaru) managed to turn him into a mummy and seal him in a cave, but he's released when Nai and Mea trick the siblings into unsealing him. He then proceeds to openly join the Infershian side, completely discarding his former identity as Raigel.

Unlike Branken, Meemy prefers to use an Armchair Military approach and is fully willing to resort to dirty tactics and foul play (the later of which displeases Wolzard greatly). Naturally, Hikaru and Lunagel have a deep-seated vendetta against him for betraying them.

He mostly uses dark magic as Meemy, but as a former Heavenly Saint, he can also use lightning magic (similar to Tsubasa, but there doesn't seem to be any particular connection).

A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil: To Blagel.
Ambiguously Gay: He's quite fabulous.
Animal Motifs: Centipedes.
Beat Them at Their Own Game: He demonstrates mastery over the Rangers' specialty spells in his debut battle. This includes becoming a giant so large that Magi King only reaches up to his foot.
Chekhov's Gunman: Was mentioned by Lunagal in passing, and eventually appeared in person following Branken's destruction.
Devil in Plain Sight: Even as Raigel back in the day, he was covered in Spikes of Villainy.
Dirty Coward: After initially mistaking Wolzard for him, Lunagel realizes they can't be the same person when Wolzard at least has some notion of honor; Raigel/Meemy has none whatsoever. Later, during a flashback to the war fifteen years ago, Hikaru states that in retrospect, he'd probably been planning to backstab them long before he did. He also cheats in his duel with Hikaru, taking advantage of Hikaru actually following the rules. Hikaru admits he should have seen it coming.
Disc Two Final Boss: Is built up as the main threat after Branken's death, but like Branken he dies mid way through the series.

Evil Feels Good: The driving factor behind his betrayal of the Heavenly Saints.
Evil Former Friend: To the Heavenly Saints.
Evil Sorcerer: He relies more on magic than melee combat, although his Raigel form is still good with a sword.
Expy: Meemy being a Sissy Villain who wields a paper fan weapon, serves as the second Arc Villain and has a connection/enmity with the Sixth Ranger makes him a pretty straightforward send-up of Highness Duke Org Ura.
Fallen Angel: With the Heavenly Saints being treated as being rather angelic-like beings, he basically serves as this.
Fantastic Racism: Beyond the usual degree of this that comes with being a villain, he's viscerally disgusted at the idea of Glum do Bridon being in love with and wanting to marry a human girl. He presumably wasn't very enthused about Blagel marrying Miyuki in the past, either.
Human Sacrifice: His plans center around mass human sacrifice to revive N Ma.

Mummy: Sealed into this kind of form at Sungel (Hikaru)'s hands, although he seems to prefer it as part of his defection to the Infershian side.
It's Personal: As fellow disciples of Blagel who were the direct victims of his betrayal, Lunagel and Hikaru quite understandably have it out for him hard. He manages to goad Hikaru into a duel by bringing Blagel's name into it, which angers Hikaru so much that he refuses to let it slide.
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Nai and Mea are only able to unseal Meemy by tricking the siblings into destroying his seal for them. Urara's crystal ball had even warned them of potential danger! (On the other hand, they'd arrived specifically because her reading had also promised something good out of it, which turned out to be Hikaru and Smoky, so it probably turned out for the better in the long run.)
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: His attempt to infect MagiLegend with Mold results in Wolzard absorbing it to save the siblings. The effect of the Mold ends up eating at N Ma's control over Wolzard, leading to him fully remembering his identity as Blagel for the first time in fifteen years.
Paper Fan of Doom: To be fair, it is a fan with a blade on it that doubles as a magic wand.

Squishy Wizard: Subverted: while he mostly relies on magic, he's still fully capable of physical combat in his original form. Played straight in his duel with Hikaru when he's destroyed with a single slash.
The Starscream: Was this his former comrades. To N Ma, he serves loyally because he finds it to be the quickest way to power.
That Man Is Dead: Once Nai and Mea bring him to Infershia, he declares that he'll be throwing away his identity as Heavenly Saint Raigel and claims his new one as Meemy. He briefly re-assumes his old form when using a Duel Bond with Hikaru due to its rule structure, only to go right back to his Meemy form once he starts cheating.
This Was His True Form: He briefly returns to his Heavenly Saint form as he dies.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hadesgods.png

The gods of Infershia, whose goal is to incarnate Hades Beast Emperor N Ma into the Absolute God. According to legend, if humanity defies them, both the Surface World and Magitopia will be destroyed. As a result of the Magirangers fighting back against them, each god executes their own "divine punishment" on the Surface World.

Achilles' Heel: Drake's armor covers his entire body except for one spot on the back of his neck.
Blood Knight: Drake, who isn't even interested in reviving N. Ma, just rampaging across the surface and breaking stuff.
Boisterous Bruiser: Drake
Character Tiers: In-Universe example. Interestingly, the leader is Dagon, a member of the middle tier.
- Five Warrior Gods: Titan, Cyclops, Toad, Ifrit, Wyvern
- Three Wise Gods: Dagon, Gorgon, Sphinx
- Two Ultimate Gods: Sleipnir, Drake
Cold Sniper: Double Subverted with Cyclops; he can get extremely angry, but will simply stroke his chin to restore his calm demeanor.
Curb-Stomp Battle: They dish out a number of this;
- When they first appear, the Magirangers attempt to fight them with Magi Legend. Sleipnir blocks their Finishing Move with his shield and defeats Magi Legend with a single blow.
- Ifrit easily defeats Travelion when Magi Shine tries to fight him on his own.
- Drake, annoyed with having to wait, leaves for the surface on his own and easily defeats Travelion as a giant and Magi Shine while human sized.
- Gorgon confronts the Magirangers, sans Kai and Houka, and easily beats them in her focus episode.
- Drake easily defeats Travelion and Magi Legend when he finally gets chosen to rampage on the surface. Continuing to fight him leads to a Curb Stomp Cushion as Kai managed to get a lucky hit on his weak point, and Snowgel managed to hold out against him before being overpowered. Ironically when she tried to fight him alongside the Magirangers, this was the result.
- Sleipnir getting sent up by Dagon leads to this. Magi Legend isn't beaten in a single hit but is still no match for him. Drake meanwhile overwhelms Travelion until Isamu showed up, beating Sleipnir and sending him back to Infershia for the time being.
- Titan dished a curb stomp to Isamu of all people, breaking his shield. He goes on to one shot Magi Legend and Travelion. Luckily he turns out nicer than what he'd seemed
- Wyvern dishes these out to Titan and the Magirangers in all their encounters up until Isamu returns and returns the favor.
- Sleipnir dishes out another one to Magi Legend in the finale.
Cyber Cyclops: Cyclops.
The Dragon: Sleipnir is Dagon's best fighter and serves Infershia's cause loyally to the end. Though he technically is the true leader, his lack of actual leading compared to Dagon calling the shots makes him this ironically.
Dumbass Has a Point: Drake mostly comes off as a dumb brute who wants to break things, but he rightly points out that following the Dark Precepts isn't causing any sign of N Ma's return. This causes Dagon to investigate and find the source.

Expy: Toad is rather reminiscent in build, personality, and his love of games to the Oogie Boogie man.
Fashionable Asymmetry: Gorgon's apparel doesn't seem to match.
Faux Affably Evil: Wyvern likes to act cool and suave, but whenever someone damages this image, he flies into a blind rage.
Gentle Giant: Titan has to be ordered to use his full power in battle, and ultimately pulls a Heel–Face Turn when given the opportunity.
Glass Cannon: Wyvern is fast, and packs a wallop, but folds like a paper cup against Wolzard Fire.
Gorgeous Gorgon: Gorgon.
Graceful Loser: Cyclops, who despite his all round sadistic nature, congratulates the Magirangers for beating him.
Heel–Face Door-Slam: Titan. His turn to good is actually accepted by the heroes after Houka convinces them and they agree to help him reach the Lake of Slumber where he'll be put into an eternal sleep and would prevent N Ma from resurrecting in his body, but he gets shanked by Dagon literally seconds from achieving his goal.
Hot-Blooded: Ifrit, to go with his power set.
Informed Ability: Wyvern claims that Dagon is the strongest of them, but we don't actually see much of anything to back that up because of how little fighting he does (and even when he does fight, he does so with help from his fellow Hades Gods) and how he gets killed off rather unceremoniously by Sphinx.
In Name Only: Despite being named as such, Sleipner doesn't have anything in common with the creature his named after. Not even his appearance would cut it.
The Juggernaut: Drake, it takes almost two straight episodes of fighting to take him down because his indestructible armor allows him to No-Sell any attack launched on him.
Knight of Cerebus: They are the last and most dangerous of N Ma's minions encountered. Their appearances all make the threat of them causing far more destruction than any previous villain and they successfully bring back N Ma.
Make My Monster Grow: Inverted - them as giants are their true forms. They only shrink if they feel like fighting the Magirangers on their own terms.
Middle Eastern Terrorists: Dagon, and especially Sphinx, are both based on mythological Middle Eastern creatures, those being, the Dagon and (obviously) the Sphinx.

Nigh-Invulnerability: Drake's armor, much to Hikaru's horror.

Hades Wise God Dagon

Portrayed by: Akio Ōtsuka (voice), Yasuhiro Takeuchi (suit)

N Ma's top enforcer and the leader of the Hades Gods, as well as the strongest of them, despite being a wise god.

Devil's Pitchfork: Armed with a powerful demonic prong which serves as his main weapon.
The Dragon: N Ma's most loyal and powerful enforcer who answers only to the Dark God. While Sleipnir is the actual leader of the Gods, Dagon's proactiveness in enforcing N Ma's will and last stand as the final God to fight the heroes places him firmly as the true right hand of N Ma.
Dragon-in-Chief: Before N Ma's proper resurrection he was the main enforcer of Infershia's goals and technically the biggest bad around since N Ma couldn't do much.
Fish People: Dagon has a giant red fish's body for a head.
Jerkass: Dagon's treatment of his fellow members (with the possible exception of Sleipnir) is downright horrible, treating them all as pawns of N Ma that live to serve their God, even if it means senselessly throwing away their lives for N Ma's sake.
Redemption Rejection: Sphinx tries to reason with and offer him a chance to defect from N Ma's service and join her in her quest for knowledge about the strength of humanity's courage; Dagon responds by holding on to his twisted ideals and trying to kill her, only to get killed in return.
Red Is Violent: Red-colored and a fierce enforcer of N Ma's will.

Hades Wise Goddess Sphinx

Portrayed by: Kyoko Terase (voice), Motokuni Nakagawa (suit)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magi_sphinx.png

One of the Hades Gods who distinguishes herself by being a strict Rules Lawyer when it comes to the method of delivering divine punishments. As she comes into conflict with the Magirangers, she starts taking an intellectual interest in what makes them so strong...

And Then What?: Her eventual argument in trying to convince her fellow Hades Gods to reconsider; there's nothing that'll come out of blindly obeying N Ma, especially compared to the much greater potential courage and bonds have.
Anti-Villain: Sphinx is less interested in destroying the surface, and more interested in making sure the Dark Precepts are followed.
Back from the Dead: Sphinx is revived by Vancuria after she is killed by Dagon and Sleipnir.
Badass Bookworm: Sphinx is a lot more powerful than her appearance suggests. Her only direct fight with the Magirangers is a Curb-Stomp Battle. And in the last episode, she utterly trounces Dagon in a matter of seconds after her rejects her attempts to convince him to defect.
Curb-Stomp Battle:
- Sphinx easily defeats Travelion and Magi Legend. Only her Heel–Face Turn stops her from killing the Magirangers.
Heel–Face Turn: Sphinx - and unlike Titan, she survives it thanks to Vancuria sharing her immortality.
Redemption Equals Death: Upon trying to convince Sleipnir and Dagon of defecting and accompanying her on the discovery of humanity's courage she gets killed for daring to defy N Ma's will. She gets better thanks to Vancuria.
Redemption Equals Life: Thanks to Vancuria resurrecting her, Sphinx is able to live after her redemption.
Sole Survivor: The only Hades God to survive the season.
Spanner in the Works: Initially, the only thing Sphinx did was thoughtfully consider the Magirangers' arguments about the power of courage; she even takes the time to try and convince her fellow Hades Gods to reconsider their loyalty to N Ma instead of fighting them directly. The argument falls on mostly deaf ears and she's executed for her trouble, but her argument is compelling enough for Vancuria to whip out her Story-Breaker Power of Resurrective Immortality on her. The resurrected Sphinx then proceeds to save Miyuki, kill Dagon, direct Vancuria to resurrect Blagel and Sungel, and take charge of Infershia, basically paving the way for the Magirangers to decisively defeat N Ma and allowing for them to establish a diplomatic relationship with Magitopia afterwards. If not for her, the Magirangers' final victory would not have been nearly as certain.
Token Good Teammate: Unlike the other Hades Gods, she has a strong sense of Honor Before Reason and is more interested in following the Dark Precepts on principle instead of being sadistic or cruel. During her encounter with the Magirangers, she gives them an opportunity to make their case instead of trying to kill them on the spot. This results in her making a Heel–Face Turn and thus surviving to the end of the series, eventually becoming the Big Good for Infershia.
Villain Takes an Interest: A more benevolent example than most as she grows interested in the courage of humans enough to try and understand them better.
