Line 52:
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: "''Magi Majin, on stage!''"
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: Both [[Big Good|Magiel]] and [[Big Bad|N Ma]] are the most powerful beings of their respective domains.
* [[BFSBig Freaking Sword]]: MagiKing's King Calibur, with a touch of [[Reverse Shrapnel]] for the [[Finishing Move|final strike]].
* [[Boss Subtitles]]: The last [[Super Sentai]] to make use of this trope.
* [[Brought to You by The Letter "S"]]: "M" is for Magiranger.
Line 175:
* [[Automatic Crossbow]]: Vancuria uses a magic one twice, in Stage 9 and Stage 15.
* [[Avenging the Villain]]: While Hades God Drake was already raring to go to the surface and rampage, the death of Hades God Gordon makes him even more so. [[Irony|Ironically]], it is [[Anti-Villain|Hades God Sphinx]] who callously dismisses his anger on Gorgon's behalf.
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Hikaru, Isamu, Miyuki, and Sphinx.}} Vancuria is basically immortal and [[Death Is Cheap|comes back every time she dies]].
* [[Badass]]: Wolzard, in '''spades'''.
** [[Action Mom]]: Miyuki
Line 189:
** [[Heartbroken Badass]]: Tsubasa, {{spoiler|when Rei was turned to voice medicine}}.
*** {{spoiler|Snowgel also counts, though the badass part isn't evident until later.}}
** [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: Invoked by Houka with "Version Up." Played straight with [[Mid-Season Upgrade|Magi Legend powers.]]
* [[Barehanded Blade Block]]: Kai pulls one against Wolzard in the first episode.
* [[Barrier Maiden]]: Lunagel
* [[Bad Boss]]: The Ten Hades Gods. Mostly to [[Amusing Injuries|Vancuria, Who gets stepped on even by the nicer ones.]] {{spoiler|The exception is Sphinx, which is probably a big part of the reason [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|they revive her after she's killed by Dagon.]]}}
* [[Bash Brothers]]: Not surprising considering the heroes are siblings, but there's a villainous example in Hades Gods Drake and Slepnir, [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|who are collectively known as]] [[Red Baron|The Two UltimateGods.]]
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Meemy pulls one off in Stage 33, provoking MagiShine to use Travelion's [[Kill It with Fire|Destruction Fire Reverse Spray]] against him so he can drain that power to create the [[Hybrid Monster|Gestalt Hades Beast Chimera]].
Line 208:
* [[Blood Knight]]: Hades God Drake. Guy was itching for a fight, he even went off before it was his turn to take on MagiShine.
* [[Book Ends]]: The first scene of the family is everyone eating together, minus Kai who was late getting back. The same goes for the final scene, {{spoiler|with the addition of Hikaru as Urara's husband and Isamu restored to the family.}}
* [[Body Horror]]: [[Big Bad|N Ma]] emergence from [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can|Titan's body]] begins with his tentacles bursting out of his body.
* [[Bow Chicka Wow Wow]]: Houka creates this sort of music to set the atmosphere for Kai and Yamazaki. [[Hilarity Ensues|Kai was not amused.]]
* [[Boxing Lessons for Superman]]: Tsubasa teaches Kai how to box in order to fight the [[Monster of the Week]] in Stage 14.
Line 218:
* [[Broken Faceplate]]: A variation on this in the last episode, where Kai manifests his helmet with the faceplate empty.
* [[Camp Straight]]: Houka's love interest and [[Spear Counterpart]] Tetsuya.
* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: On two separate occasions the Magirangers find themselves in a [[Pocket Dimension]] where their MagiPhones will not work.
* [[Cape Swish]]: The MagiRangers do this during their role call.
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: Using magic beyond your abilities quickly drains your stamina, as seen with Kai in Stages 6 and 7, and {{spoiler|Miyuki in Stage 46.}}
* [[Catch and Return]]: Tsubasa thoroughly stomped Wolzard in Kai's dream in Stage 7, starting with a Hadouken-style return.
* [[Central Theme]]: Courage and family can overcome anything.
Line 322:
* [[Fragile Speedster]]: Hades God Wyvern. Said to be the fastest by their leader, Dagon, but proves to be really bad at taking hits. {{spoiler|Wolzard demonstrates this twice, the second time leading to Wyvern's death.}}
* [[Freaky Friday Flip]]: Kai and Houka. [[Hilarity Ensues]] when Kai finds out that Houka had 15 dates that day. His solution? {{spoiler|Breaking up with them all at once!}}
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: A mild example in Stage 14, Kai has to choose between going on his date with [[School Idol|Yuka Yamazaki]], or finishing his [[Training Fromfrom Hell]] under Tsubasa to face the monster of the week.
* [[From My Own Personal Garden]]: A heroic example played for mild laughs, Makito's "big brother salad" is made with vegetables he grows himself.
* [[Functional Magic]]: A combination of inherent gift (Only heavenly saints, those descended from heavenly saints, or those chosen by heavenly saints can wield magic), rule magic (good magicians must have courage, evil magicians must swear themselves to N Ma), and device magic (most magicians use phones or other tools to assist in their spell casting).
* [[Funny Background Event]]: During Stage 13, as Makito and Urara argue about money woes in the foreground, Tsubasa chases Kai with a broom in the background while Kai uses Mandora Boy as a shield.
* [[Gag Sub]]: [[The Movie]], re-imagined as [https://web.archive.org/web/20100823051603/http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/comedy/watch/v158356834GaeCwxr Steedergon Fury IGNITES!!]
* [[Gatling Good]]: The Exploding Turret Gun of Destruction, featured in Stage 16.
* [[Generation Xerox]]: [[Machiko Soga|Magiel]] notes that the Magirangers are just like their parents.
Line 440:
** 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.
Line 498:
* [[Not Distracted by the Sexy]]: [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Nai and Mare]] attempt to use their [[Zettai Ryouiki]] against Kai and Makito. They respond by invoking their love interests.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: {{spoiler|Isamu, Miyuki and Raigel.}}
** Also, Vancuria at the end of Stage 12 (refer to [[Back Fromfrom 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 [[Dynamic Entry|drop kicked]] Hikaru for it.
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Subverted, as Blagel's Heavenly Saint form is reminiscent of most popular depictions of Satan, while [[The Starscream|Raigel]] looks very similar to the obviously holy Sungel.
Line 575:
* [[Sdrawkcab Name]]: Neries from Act 28, who is a Siren (which is pronounced ''seiren'' in Japanese).
* [[Sealed Army in a Can]]: The whole of Infershia, [[The Movie|Groom Do Bridon's soul berseker army]].
* [[Sealed Inside a Person -Shaped Can]]: {{spoiler|After the second time Blagel seals N Ma, he takes his soul within his body to make sure he can't revive again.}}
* [[Secret Identity]]: It isn't even apparent that this is in effect until Stage 5, seemingly for the sole purpose of creating a [[Loves My Alter Ego]] scenario between Kai, MagiRed, and Yuka Yamazaki.
* [[Secret War]]: The great battle between Magitopia and Infershia 15 years ago happened without any humans being aware of it, except for Miyuki who was married to Blagel.
Line 605:
** [[Serial Escalation|And then]] Meemy starts using [[The Dark Side|forbidden magic]] - that's magic so bad that ''[[Even Evil Has Standards|even the legions of Hell won't go near it]]'' - to create his monsters.
** ''[[Oh Crap|And then]]'', once Meemy is defeated, the true bad guys are revealed as the [[God of Evil|Pantheon of Hell]], a [[Standard Evil Organization Squad|team of]] ten [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|giant monsters]] - meaning they start big and [[Incredible Shrinking Man|shrink to human size]], not [[Make My Monster Grow|the other way around]] - who [[Apocalypse How|play a few games with the mortals.]]
** '''[[Despair Event Horizon|And then]]''' at the end, all of the above leads to releasing [[Eldritch Abomination|Great]] Beast [[Bigger Bad|Emperor]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|N. Ma]] from the [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Hades Gate]] to [[Omnicidal Maniac|destroy all the magic in the world.]] He pretty much utterly rapes the rangers, and they have to [[Gondor Calls for Aid|call in every ally they made across the entire series.]] {{spoiler|Including their [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|mother]] and [[Heel Face Turn|father]].}}
* [[Spear Counterpart]]: Tetsuya, Houka's love interest in stage 15, is basically the male version of her.
* [[The Speechless]]: The Hades Beasts are pretty much animals, and only grunt and growl.
Line 650:
* [[Time Travel]]: Possible, but only through [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|a forbidden spell]].
* [[Tomes of Prophecy and Fate]]: The Book of Prophecy that [[Elegant Gothic Lolita|Nai and Mare]] discover after N Ma is sealed once again.
* [[Training Fromfrom Hell]]: What do you call having soccer balls shot at you at around 200 km/h so that you can learn how to dodge a monster's punches?
** Something that should've killed him or at least given him massive internal bleeding. Hope he was wearing a cup.
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: Miyuki's [[Magic Wand|MagiStick]] and her compact. {{spoiler|Subverted when the siblings find out she was alive all along.}}
Line 679:
** Also, during the movie, {{spoiler|1=Yuka Yamazaki finds out that Kai and MagiRed are the same person.}} In the end, nothing comes of this.
** Also, in the first episode, we can see flying minions in Infershia. They are never used or seen again.
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Stage 45 introduces the idea that not everyone in Infershia is [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil]], which Makito stubbornly resists well into Stage 46.
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: {{spoiler|Kai is an envoy to Infershia, Urara lives in Magitopia with Hikaru, Makito studies overseas, Tsubasa is a boxer, and Houka lives with Isamu and Miyuki.}}
* [[White Void Room]]: All interior architecture in Magitopia is like this. Also, the [[Pocket Dimension]] that Lunagel seals the Magirangers into in Stage 17.
Line 700:
* [[You See, I'm Dying]]: {{spoiler|Tetsuya}}
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: This gets played with, as while all the prophecies mentioned on the show, {{spoiler|including the one about how if the surface world fights against the Hades Gods both Magitopia and the surface world will be destroyed}} do come to pass, their consequences can still be undone.
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: In Stage 3, a [[Elite Mook|High Zobil]] flees battle and returns to Infershia, only to be skewered by Branken for his troubles.
* [[Your Days Are Numbered]]: Victims of the [[Black Spot|Red Skull curse]] have only a week to live before [[No Body Left Behind|vanishing, never to be seen again.]]
** When N Ma is reborn, Snowgel declares that the whole world has only three days left before he destroys everything.
