The 14th season of ''[[Power Rangers]]'', based on ''[[Mahou Sentai Magiranger]]''. After an earthquake hits the city of Briarwood, a stranger appears and asks for help locating someone in the nearby forest. But the local townsfolk are superstitious about the woods, and the only one brave enough to volunteer is Nick, [[I Was Just Passing Through|a wanderer just passing through]]. A group of locals join him, not wanting to be shown up by an outsider.

{{tropelist}}
=== This subseries contains examples of: ===
* [[Acting for Two]]: Barnie Duncan not only played Toby but he also once reprised his role from ''S.P.D.'' as Piggy.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Mystic Mother, as a tribute to the late Machiko Soga. "Known as [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Rita]] in the dark days..."
Line 107:
* [[But Now I Must Go]]: Nick, though he's coming back.
* [[The Cameo]]/[[Continuity Nod]]: The Mystic Mother, played by Machiko Soga (best known for Rita Repulsa stateside).
{{quote| "The Mystic Mother. She was known as [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|Rita]] in the Dark Times."}}
** Jenji also shares a scene with ''S.P.D.'''s Piggy in "Ranger Down".
* [[Canis Latinicus]]: The show is surprisingly good about using actual Latin, Greek, and Welsh words for spells (if not proper use of either grammar or [[Magic aA Is Magic A]] to match), but a few stinkers got by, such as "Hilarium Shenolia".
* [[RightCatch Backand At YaReturn]]: Imperius does this to the rangers to demonstrate his superior magic.
* [[The Charmer]]: Xander fancies himself as one - though trying "Plan Xander" on the monsters usually gets his ass kicked.
* [[Chekhov MIA]]: Nick being adopted {{spoiler|1=+ Udonna's search for her lost husband and missing baby = Surprise!}}
Line 128 ⟶ 129:
* [[Don't Go in The Woods]]: Invoked in the premiere.
* [[Doomy Dooms of Doom]]: When trying to infiltrate the Underworld in "Light Source":
{{quote| '''Phineas:''' I don't mean to be a doomsayer, but uhh, DOOM! Doom, doom, doom!}}
* [[The Drifter]]: Nick.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: Koraag teaming up with the rangers against the Four Barbarian Beasts.
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: several [[Last-Minute Hookup|Last Minute Hookups]]: Leelee and Phineas (also see [[Hybrid Monster]] above), Necrolai and Toby, and even Itassis and Daggeron was [[Ship Tease|teased]] a little!
* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]
* [[The Lady's Favour]]: [[Gender -Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] with Nick and Madison in the finale; it also avoids the [[Try Not to Die]] part by happening ''after'' the battle.
* [[Kill Me Now or Forever Stay Your Hand]]: Vida to {{spoiler|Totumbo the energy terror}} to cement his [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Land of Faerie]]: If Briarwood Forest doesn't strictly qualify, then it is at least very close.
Line 160 ⟶ 161:
* [[Literal Genie]]: Jenji a few times.
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Koragg (aka Leanbow) and Udonna are Nick's biological parents.}}
* [[Magic aA Is Magic A]]: Unfortunately not; the American production sadly broke ''Magiranger'''s defined spell system and were too lazy to make their own work as intended (come on, BVS: is it ''really that hard'' to re-film ''fingers dialing a phone?'')
* [[Magic Warrior]]: Clare inherited the powers of the Gatekeeper from her mother (even though she only used them in only in a lone two-parter).
* [[Magical Security Cam]]: Averted; Nick and Vida have to swipe security footage of them morphing in "Fire Heart", and it's not even [[Stock Footage]].
* [[Make a Wish]]
* [[The Master (trope)|The Master]]: {{spoiler|Used for the name of the [[Big Bad]].}}
* [[Master of Delusion]]: averted; Toby starts getting annoyed at his employees running off, and they eventually own up to him.
* [[Mega Neko]]: Jenji.
Line 187 ⟶ 188:
* {{spoiler|[[Reforged Into a Minion]]}}: Koragg.
* [[Refusal of the Call]]: Nick.
* [[Right Back At Ya]]: Imperius does this to the rangers to demonstrate his superior magic.
* [[Right Behind Me]]: Xander griping about Daggeron in "Inner Strength".
* [[Robe and Wizard Hat]]: The Rangers have robes; it's the ''megazord'' that has the hat!
