Mahou Sentai Magiranger

""Magic. It is a sacred power. Magic. It is an adventure into the unknown. Magic...It is the proof of courage!""

Mahō Sentai Magiranger (Magic Squadron Magiranger) is the twenty-ninth program in the Super Sentai franchise, airing for 2005 to 2006.

The Ozu family, consisting of mother Miyuki and five children, is an ordinary one - until a giant monster attacked them all of a sudden one day. Out of the blue, the mother transformed into a magician and defeated the monster. She then revealed to them that she's actually a magician, and gave them the MagiPhones for the upcoming battles against monsters of Infershia, like the previous one. But not long after, she was defeated in a giant battle against a very powerful enemy of the deep, Wolzard...

The siblings discover a secret room in their house, in which their mother's hologram reveals everything: Years ago, a war broke out between Magitopia - the realm of Heavenly Saints, and Infershia - the Underground Hades Empire. Magitopia won, only by having sacrificed one of their Heavenly Saints who locked Infershia from the inside, who turned out to be the siblings' father. After fifteen years, Infershia has returned to get revenge and unleash havoc on Magitopia and human world. Initially hesitant, the Ozu siblings gradually rose up to defend their world as they discover more of their family's secret legacy. Later on, they are joined by MagiShine/Hikaru/Sungel, a Heavenly Saint who trained under their father and takes it upon himself to train them in turn.

The motif this time around is "Magic", and the theme of "Courage" and "Family" is also strong all over. Also the first Sentai team to don capes since... around the first time.

The MagiRangers:


 * Kai Ozu / Magi Red: The youngest child and defacto leader. Immature, a tad loudmouthed and hyperactive. Fiery, if you will. Often quarrels with his brothers. Sword fighter.
 * Tsubasa Ozu / Magi Yellow: The middle son. Smarter than he looks, but usually not quite enthusiastic. Sometimes a bit stern, which also makes him seems like the Only Sane Man. Uses a bowgun.
 * Urara Ozu / Magi Blue: The middle child. Sharp and nice. She also cares a lot about her siblings.
 * Houka Ozu / Magi Pink: The eldest daughter. Mature and composed, but also tends to be... a bit "off" from time to time.
 * Makito Ozu / Magi Green: The eldest child and Good Ol' Reliable Aniki. Appropriately uses an axe.
 * Hikaru / Magi Shine: The Sixth Ranger and the siblings' magic teacher.
 * Miyuki Ozu/ Magi Mother: Team Mom literally.

Allies:
 * Mandora Boy: Team Pet. A walking floating, talking Mandrake who doesn't go into battle, but supplies info for the siblings -de gozarimasu desu.
 * Smoky: Another Team Pet, a cat genie bound to Hikaru's lamp.
 * Lunagel: A Heavenly Saint warrior who fought alongside Blagel, her life-force maintains the seal on the Gate of Infershia
 * Snowgel: Eldest of the Heavenly Saints and the one who serves as Miyuki's patron saint. She later gives the Magirangers access to their Legend Mode.
 * Magiel: The Archsaint of all magic and ruler of Magitopia. Played by Machiko Soga.

Infershia:
 * N Ma: Eldritch Abomination, Sealed Evil in a Can, Big Bad. Referred to as Beast Emperor N Ma earlier on, and later upgraded to Absolute God N Ma.
 * General Branken: The Dragon, although he had some Big Bad traits when he started off.
 * Meemy: Replaces Branken as The Dragon after the latter is killed. Used to be Raigel, one of the Heavenly Saints, but pulled a Face Heel Turn and was turned into a mummy for this. Unsealed along with Hikaru, he constantly proclaims that allying with N Ma allows him to use his magic for his own selfish ambitions, yet is essentially a slave to the dark god's will.
 * Vancuria: Queen of the Vampires, unaffected by standard vampire weaknesses.
 * Nai & Mea: Two creepy Elegant Gothic Lolita girls who can merge into and unmerge from Vancuria.
 * Wolzard: Noble Demon and aside from Meemy, the only one in Infershia able to use Magic.
 * Infershia Pantheon: A collective of ten Gods of Evil determined to lay waste on the surface world and prepare it for N Ma's coming.

Adapted into English as Power Rangers Mystic Force.

 * And "S" is for Shine, as in Magi Shine
 * By the Power of Greyskull: "Mahou Henshin! Ma-gi Magi Magiro!"
 * "Tenku Henshin! Golu Golu Goldiro!"
 * And then the Majin spells...
 * Calling Your Attacks: Always with the finishers.
 * Catch Phrase: "Checkmate!" First used by Miyuki, taken over by her kids. It doubles as a Pre-Mortem One-Liner.

 * Clip Show: One that not only introduces the Infershia Pantheon,
 * Combination Attack: Several examples throughout the series, but most frequently the Five Fantastic Kick
 * Crossover: Magiranger vs. Dekaranger
 * Custom Uniform
 * Dynamic Entry
 * Evolving Credits
 * Eyecatch: Showing whichever Ranger is the primary focus of that episode.
 * Filler: Stages 8, 10, and 22 are the only episodes that don't advance the main plot in some way, but still manage to contribute Character Development and new spells that get reused later on.
 * Five-Man Band: There are two Smart Guys on the team.
 * Kid Appeal Hero: Kai
 * The Lancer: Tsubasa
 * The Heart: Urara
 * The Chick: Houka

 * Home Base: The hidden magic room within the Ozu family's house.

 * Transforming Mecha: Travelion can switch from train mode to giant robot mode.

 * In the Name of the Moon: Magiranger had quite possibly one of the longest sequences at its time, roughly on par with Dekaranger. At least until two years later. But length-wise, it still outdraws the others due to having the largest roster in Super Sentai history.
 * In the Name of the Moon: Magiranger had quite possibly one of the longest sequences at its time, roughly on par with Dekaranger. At least until two years later. But length-wise, it still outdraws the others due to having the largest roster in Super Sentai history.

- All: "Our overflowing courage changes into magic! Mahou Sentai Magiranger!"

"Rin: "The serene moon element! Heavenly Saint, Lunagel!" Snowgel: "The sparkling ice element! Heavenly Saint, Snowgel!""
 * In addition, two of the Heavenly Saints also perform one of these speeches when they get to fight.


 * Law of Chromatic Superiority: A mild example, as while Kai does have the occasional burst of power and two unique Mechs, his access to these is quite unreliable. Storywise though, he's always at the center of the resolution of each major story arc.
 * Make My Monster Grow: When they need to up the ante, Wolzard (Vancuria temporarily assumes the duty about halfway through the second arc) or Meemy chant the Black Magic spell "Douza Uru Ugaro" (or, in Meemy's case, "Douza Meru Megaro") to enlarge the beasties. The members of the Pantheon, on the other hand, invert the trope, as they're naturally giant... though they can grow and shrink at will without the use of magic.
 * Oddly enough though, there are a few early monsters who spontaneously become giant sized without the use of magic. These monsters are noted by Nai and Mare as having "special bodies" like them.
 * Mid-Season Upgrade: The Legend Mode and MagiLegend.
 * Mix and Match: Mahou Sentai Magiranger = (Super Sentai + Harry Potter + The Book of Revelations) + Badass Family.

 * The Movie: Magiranger the Movie: Bride of Infershia
 * The Narrator: Mostly during two-parters.
 * Power Limiter: It was supposed to be a spell to stop the siblings from turning to Heavenly Saints and lose all their memories but had a certain side effect of weakening the Legendary Power Mode.
 * Right Makes Might: Even more so than usual.
 * Rule of Cool: While they ostensibly increase their magic power, the real purpose of the cloaks is to be dramatically unfurled just before transforming.

 * Transformation Trinket: The Magi Phones, Hikaru's GripPhone.
 * Two Girls to a Team: The main team consisted of two girls as usual, Pink and Blue, making Magiranger the fourth Sentai team to have a female Blue, as well as the second team where she was not the lone girl. Magi Mother joins her children towards the end of the series as well, serving as the team's third female member. Half of the Heavenly Saints were also women and all of them were in high positions of authority.

 * Automatic Crossbow: Vancuria uses a magic one twice, in Stage 9 and Stage 15.

He only gets back on his feet and devises a plan to beat Cyclops when Kai pulls a Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! on him.
 * However this pales in comparison to the Mass BSOD that all five siblings have when  It's enough to completely break their Magi-legend fusion.
 * Heroic Resolve: The source of power that drives the magic used by the Magirangers.
 * Hey, It's That Guy!: Machiko Soga plays the leader of the Heavenly Saints.

 * Meemy later tries this against Sungel and Lunagel, but they were much too Genre Savvy for it to work.
 * It Only Works Once: Many spells are dropped after their debut, but notably, Makito's Rock Armor is defeated the very first time it's used, and is never spoken of again.

 * Luke, I Am Your Father:.
 * Magic A Is Magic A: This show does a fantastic job of making sure each and every magic spell is consistent in design, intent, and casting, even near the end of the series when . The show doesn't tend to go over this in detail though; if you want to see how coherent the spell system is, you're going to have to do some research.
 * To give a quick summary, the ten buttons on the Magiphone each have a specific function, and spells are made by combining them, and the series sticks with this. For example, with the transformation call Maaji Maji Majiro, the words mean (in order) "Transform", "Warrior", "Body".

 * Alchemy Is Magic: Kai
 * The Power of Creation: Tsubasa
 * Fortune Teller: Urara

 * Magic Music: The Hades Beast Manticore creates music with its body to compel its victims to dance until they are exhausted, and then into its mouth.
 * Nai and Mare also do this to lull their victims into a daze, allowing them to convert them into vampires.
 * Magic Wand: In the shape of cellphones.
 * Massive-Numbered Siblings: At the low end of this trope, there are five Ozu siblings.
 * Master Apprentice Chain: Blagel was Hikaru's mentor, and he in turn becomes the mentor for the Magirangers.
 * Master of Illusion: Belbireji the Incubus specializes in this, while Hades God Gorgon dabbles in it.
 * Meaningful Name: Quite a lot, in fact. They can also double as Theme Naming.
 * The whole Ozu family, for one thing.
 * "Kai" means "first" or "leader," and it's written with the Japanese character for "fire", of course his leadership skill is somewhat poor.
 * Tsubasa means "wings"; his Majin form is the Garuda, a mythological bird.
 * Urara's name means "bright" and also a pun on "Uranai"; "fortune-telling," which happens to be her talent.
 * Houka, The Chick of the group, means "fragrance."
 * Makito, an earth magic user as well as a farmer, means "sower." "Maki" refers to "firewood," linking him to his element.
 * Finally, take the first syllable of each sibling's name in order of birth and you get "Mahoutsukai".
 * And their mother? Miyuki.
 * They are all technically "Ozu no Mahotsukai"; "Wizard(s) of Oz."
 * Even Kai's love interest Yuka Yamazaki gets in on it; her name roughly means "Gentle flower on the mountain top", which is how Kai describes her when she first appears.

 * Monster Mash: The leaders of Infershia follow this general motif.
 * Mood Whiplash
 * Mook Carryover: Vancuria/ Nai and Mea last through all three arcs. Justified on account of their Immortality..
 * Motif: Magic, as well as circus acts, legends, prophecies, and heaven vs. hell. Parallels between family issues and the war with Infershia are also frequent.
 * Mundane Utility: Miyuki, after using magic to kill a troll, then uses it to pour tea and make a cake.
 * Later on, Houka uses her MagiPhone to schedule dates for herself.
 * Musical Assassin: The Monster Siren Neries uses her voice to kill, though she has to use the spirit of a deceased pop singer to do the job for her.

 * Mythology Gag: Sungel/Hikaru is a special ranger who wears dark blue (OK, mainly gold, but still) and happens to love Urara who is the female blue ranger. In Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger, Isshuu was a special ranger who wore dark blue and happened to love Nanami who was the female blue ranger.
 * Also, the ninja Monster of the Week is described in a flashback as "Unknown to the people, unknown to the world..."
 * And then there's the way MagiKing gets assembled, with MagiTaurus serving as the core that gets armored up by the other mechs, not unlike DaiRenOh. Plus, the four non-red mechs combine into MagiDragon which can be used as a mount by MagiPhoenix], similar to how Ryou's [=RyuSeiOh rides the Heavenly Chi Palace.
 * In the movie, the siblings perform the Five Fantastic Fire technique, in which they leap into the air and transform into a giant fire bird. The Jetman team uses a very similar attack in the penultimate episode of their series.
 * The Saint Kaiser resembles a non-evil version of the first form of Dora Talos. Highly appropriate, considering that Big Good Magiel is played by the same actress as Zyuranger's primary Big Bad. This particular nod even carries over to the Power Rangers adaptation.
 * Names to Run Away From Really Fast: The Beast Emperor/Absolute God N Ma.
 * Also, the Infershia Pantheon, which serves N Ma directly.
 * Never Say "Die": Averted. See What Do You Mean It's for Kids?.
 * Nice Hat: Not a real hat, but MagiKing's wizard-hat is a pretty cool headpiece.
 * Travelion also has a Nice Hat in the form of a turban.
 * Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie: In one episode the Monster of the Week is a ninja and the Zobiru working under him are ninja-themed as well.
 * New Powers as the Plot Demands: Justified, as the Magirangers earn their spells through their Courage from the Heavenly Saints who watch over them.

 * Non-Action Guy: Mandora Boy.
 * No Body Left Behind: Miyuki,, the victims of the Red Skull Curse in stage 15.

 * Not Quite Dead:
 * Also, Vancuria at the end of Stage 12 (refer to Back From the Dead earlier).
 * Not What It Looks Like: While trying to find the temple in Houka's memory, Urara mistakes Hikaru of kissing Houka and practically zoomed to Kyoto and almost drop kicked Hikaru for it.
 * Obviously Evil: Subverted, as Blagel's Heavenly Saint form is reminiscent of most popular depictions of Satan, while Raigel looks very similar to the obviously holy Sungel.
 * Ocular Gushers: Urara has these shortly after obtaining her Legend Mode powers.
 * Official Couple:
 * Oh Crap: Right from the first episode, when Wolzard transforms into WolKentauros while our heroes have yet to gain their giant forms.

 * One-Hit Kill: Hades God Sphinx likes to pull these off with her BFG
 * One Million BC: The Marudeyona World that Hikaru sent everyone to to help Makito get over his funk in Stage 21.

 * Our Zombies Are Different: The Zobils.
 * Out of Sight, Out of Mind: On multiple occasions the Magirangers will hit the enemy with a powerful attack that sends them flying off camera, and then they act as though the battle was already won. The most notable example of this is
 * Out of the Inferno: Well, more like through the inferno; Groom Do Bridon leaps through an explosion to get an attack off against MagiShine
 * Painfully-Slow Projectile: Hades God Cyclop's bullets are generally slow enough for the MagiRangers to block and deflect. then again, by that point they are among the most powerful and magical beings in the world.
 * Paper Fan of Doom: Houka turns into one in Stage 45 to knock some sense into Makito.
 * Parental Abandonment: The siblings' mom dies in the first episode and the dad is considered dead. This causes Makito and Urara to experience dual Promotion to Parent.

 * Later, Hikaru has to undergo a dangerous ordeal to save Tsubasa from a curse.
 * Reality Subtext: According to this interview, Houka's actress wanted to be MagiRed, while Kai's actor never expected to be chosen for the part. Puts the two-parter where they switch bodies into a whole new light, doesn't it?

 * Race Against the Clock: Tsubasa has very little time to rescue Kai from his Angst Coma before becoming trapped in it himself.
 * Later, Hikaru has to undergo a dangerous ordeal to save Tsubasa from a curse.

""Nyaamen.""
 * Really Seven Hundred Years Old: Hikaru and the other Heavenly Saints are implied to be at least a whole lot older.
 * Red Baron: The four Hell Kings are introduced with these by Wolzard
 * Later on, the book of prophecy applies this sort of appellation to every Hades Beast and Hades Beastman.
 * Red Eyes, Take Warning: Inverted and subverted with Bullrates the Kobold; a side-effect of a spell that Meemy casts on him to restore his youthful strength was to turn his red eyes white, and while he does become much more powerful, he is still effortlessly defeated by the Magirangers Legend Mode.
 * Red Oni, Blue Oni: Kai and Tsubasa. The latter's personal color does not match this trope, but his personality does.
 * Red Sky, Take Warning: A variation; if the sky suddenly turns dark and an aurora appears, that means a Hades God is about to administer a Divine Punishment.
 * Redemption Demotion: seems to lose much of his power following his Heel Face Turn. Justified,

 * Romance-Inducing Smudge: Stage 36 has one between Urara and Hikaru.

 * Sealed Army in a Can: The whole of Infershia, Groom Do Bridon's soul berseker army.

 * They do it again in Stage 12, giving Houka cursed apples to inflict on her family.
 * Stage 15 features the Solitary Confinement Hades Beast Skeleton, which has a red skull and can reassemble itself after being destroyed indefinitely. Sound familiar?
 * Smoky, upon being released by the Magirangers, introduces himself with a big, bombastic song and dance number.
 * The end of Stage 33 is one giant reference to Star Wars, mixing pivotal scenes from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
 * Shy Finger-Twiddling: Kai does this on occasion when the subject of Yuka Yamazaki comes up.
 * Sibling Team: As they are all siblings (except for Hikaru).
 * In fact, this is the third Sentai in this respect too, predated by Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman and Rescue Sentai Go Go Five.
 * Single-Minded Twins: Nai and Mea, but they're just halves of Vancuria.
 * Scenery Porn: Stage 22 features many lingering shots of temples in Kyoto.
 * Sleep Cute: A platonic version between Makito and Houka during a flashback to when they were children.

 * Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Very idealistic, as it ends with
 * Smart People Play Chess: Tsubasa vs. Kai, with the expected results.
 * Solar and Lunar: Sungel and Lunagel.
 * Sorting Algorithm of Evil: Hoo boy.
 * First, you have the Basic Hades Beasts lead by Branken, Wolzard and Vancuria.
 * And then they summon the Solitary Confinement Hades Beasts and the Guardian Beast of Infershia.
 * And then Branken dies and Meemy, a Physical God Turned Evil takes over, and summons the Hades Beastmen, humans who sold their soul for power. The team needs the Sixth Ranger, another Physical God, to defeat them.
 * And then Meemy summons the Four Hellish Kings, who beat the rangers so bad they need to develop a Super Mode.
 * And then Meemy starts using forbidden magic - that's magic so bad that even the legions of Hell won't go near it - to create his monsters.
 * And then, once Meemy is defeated, the true bad guys are revealed as the Pantheon of Hell, a team of ten giant monsters - meaning they start big and shrink to human size, not the other way around - who play a few games with the mortals.
 * And then at the end, all of the above leads to releasing Great Beast Emperor N. Ma from the Hades Gate to destroy all the magic in the world. He pretty much utterly rapes the rangers, and they have to call in every ally they made across the entire series.

 * The Speechless: The Hades Beasts are pretty much animals, and only grunt and growl.
 * Speed Blitz: Hades God Wyvern uses this.
 * Spell Blade: In stage 29, Houka casts a spell to make MagiKing's sword King Caliber hundreds of times sharper.

 * Take That: In the opening fight of Magiranger vs. Dekaranger, Ban shows up in a Battlizer...and proceeds to horribly screw up, healing the enemy and let it escape with Urara. Whoops.
 * In stage 27, Kai finds that contrary to what many anime series might lead you to believe, high school students can't rent their own apartments.
 * Taking the Bullet: Urara does this to save Kai in Stage 4, resulting in her being turned to stone
 * She repeats this in Stage 38, only with an actual bullet. In stage 48, the favor is returned by Smoky.
 * And then Miyuki almost immediately right after Smoky.
 * Taking You with Me:
 * Team Handstack: The whole Ozu family does one just before the final battle in Stage 48.
 * Tell Me About My Father: There was one episode where Hikaru and Lunagel were telling the siblings about their dad, at Kai's request (being the youngest, he was the one who least remembered their dad).
 * Tempting Fate: In stage 37, Kai openly proclaims to Cyclops that it'll be easy to find him from where he's shooting at them from. Then he shoots Kai in the back of the leg from the opposite direction from which he'd been firing up to that point.
