Synopsis

A war between the Infershia and Magitopia had occurred unbeknownst to humans. After being imprisoned within the Earth for fifteen years, the Infershia have returned to get revenge from their imprisonment. When the Infershia attack, five siblings witness their mother change in front of them and she hands them MagiPhones to transform into a magic team. Now endowed with magic powers, these five vow to live up to their family's legacy. They have yet to discover many more family secrets.

Ozu Family

These five children (three brothers and two sisters) lived peacefully with their mother, believing that their father died in an expedition in Antarctica. Upon learning the truth, their mother revealed to them their family legacy. Over time, they learn their father was a Heavenly Saint. The five siblings later receive the power to turn into Legend Mode. By the end of the series, the siblings were reunited with their parents.

: The youngest of the Ozu Family, he is the Magician of the Red, Magi Red. He uses his proficiency with alchemy and his power over the element of fire to fight evil. He is headstrong, bold, and sometimes downright stubborn, but he has a brave heart.
: The middle son of the Ozu Family, he is the Magician of the Yellow, Magi Yellow. His specialties are potions and the element of thunder. He is generally quite cynical and sarcastic, and rarely agrees with his family. Nevertheless, he is quite clever.
: The youngest daughter and middle child of the Ozu Family, she is the Magician of the Blue, Magi Blue. Her specialties are fortune telling and the element of water. She later marries Hikaru. She rarely speaks, and sometimes her siblings tease her about being subservient to others. When she does choose to speak, it is usually very important.
: The eldest daughter and the second oldest child of the Ozu Family, she is the Magician of the Pink, Magi Pink. Her specialties are transformations and the element of wind. Flighty and a little ditzy, she considers herself an expert on love, and usually goes out with several boyfriends at the same time. She is also an actress.
: The eldest son of the Ozu Family, he is the Magician of the Green, Magi Green. His specialties are herbalism and the element of earth. He takes his responsibilities as eldest quite seriously, and tries to make sure that his siblings listen to his advice. Frequently refers to himself as nii-chan ("big bro").
: After Miyuki disappeared, Hikaru began to teach the Ozu children more about magic, and joined them in battle as the Heavenly Hero Magi Shine. His true identity is that of Heavenly Saint Sungel. His specialties are the elements of light and the sun.
: The mother of the Ozu Family, she is the Magician of the White, Magi Mother. After her husband disappeared, she watched over her children by herself and kept their magical abilities a secret until Infershia started to attack the surface. Her specialty is the element of ice. Was thought to be killed in Stage 2 but later revealed that she was alive.
: The long lost father of the Ozu Family, he had defeated Infershia long in the past, but had been transformed into and fought the Magirangers, until regaining his memories and helping them as Wolzard Fire. His true identity is that of Heavenly Saint Blagel. Blagel absorbed N Ma's soul into his body after it was revealed that he was indeed their father. With N Ma's soul in him, Blagel continued to take on the purple Wolzard form, and aided the Magirangers in a fight against one of the Hades Gods, but used the Heavenly saint spell syllables (golu etc.) instead of the usual Uru syallables. When Blagel was defeated by Titan, Miyuki rescued him and gave him magic to become Wolzard Fire.

Heavenly Saints

The Magirangers' magical powers are drawn from the , magical and holy entities. Their domain is Magitopia, a heavenly paradise created by the Five Legendary Magicians. It is said that when humans are able to obtain enough magical powers they can become Heavenly Saints themselves but then lose all memories they had as humans; this nearly happened to the Ozu siblings when they gained their Legend power and formed MagiLegend for the first time, but they were saved by Hikaru's restriction spell.

The Five Legendary Magicians

These Heavenly Saints earned great power, and were the ones that created Magitopia. They were originally humans who mastered magic to the point of becoming Heavenly Saints. They are composed of the fiery of the Burning Flame Element, (represented by a Magician of the Red), the knight-like of the Galloping Thunder Element, (represented by a Magician of the Yellow), the mermaid

ish of the Howling Earth Element, (represented by a Magician of the Green). Each Magiranger's power is drawn from his/her respective Heavenly Saint. The Five Legendary Magicians were briefly seen in the Magiranger movie emerging from their domains to greet the Ozu siblings.

Other Heavenly Saints

: Heavenly Saint of the , she was the last person to see Blagel who orders her to seal the Hades Gates with "key magic", ensuring it would stay closed as long as she lived. As she was about to leave to Magitopia, Lunagel is attacked by Raigel, losing her memory as a result and becoming a human. By present time, after years of wandering, Lunagel is unknowingly saved by Kai when Vancuria finds her. Named by Kai, the Magirangers managed to help her regain her memories as Lunagel. At first, she had little confidence in the Magirangers' abilities due to their kindness and sought to destroy Wolzard on the notion that he was Raigel, only to be captured as a result. After Kai saves her, Lunagel realizes that Blagel was truly kind and Wolzard is nothing like Raigel. After Branken's death, Lunagel departed to Magitopia. Later, Lunagel would aid the siblings from presenting to them Magiel to helping them master their Legend Powers. While curing those infected by Mold, Lungel reveals to the siblings more of the events of fifteen years ago relating to Blagel. In Stage 47 she appears beaten up to inform everyone that Magitopia was under attack by N Ma. She aided them in the finale. Kai considers Lunagel as another sister figure and still calls her by her human name, Rin, rather than her Heavenly Saint name.

: Heavenly Saint of Time, the creator of the Reverse Magic that influences time. Seeing it too dangerous for anyone else to wield, Chronogel places a curse on Reverse Magic should anyone but himself use it, retreating into a Marudeyona World and sealing himself within a mountain. When Magi Yellow used a Reverse Magic spell to uncover an Infershia scheme, he was stricken with a horrible side effect, opening a chasm through his chest which sucked in time, appearing as a dark whirlwind. Hikaru sealed him with a barrier spell and took him to find Chronogel's Redemption Staff, the only thing that could spare those who suffer the Reverse Magic curse. After overcoming the odds, and even Wolzard's mind games, Hikaru removed the staff. Wolzard, however, used it as a chance to take out the unmoving Chronogel, killing him with a blast from his Jagun Shield. It is likely that Nai and Mea resurrected him after N Ma was annihilated by the Magirangers.

: Heavenly Saint of the , represented by a Magician of the White, as Miyuki obtained her powers from Snowgel. Snowgel is the most senior of all the Heavenly Saints and the Five Legendary Magicians' pupil, with the power to unleash the dormant magic within a person. However, distraught from how magic brought misfortune from Miyuki and Blagel's demises and Raigel's treachery, Snowgel left Magitopia to dwell in the Marudeyona World called the Lamentation Sea, its very waters coming from Snowgel's tears. The Magirangers found Snowgel, in her guise of an infant, inside a giant fish and melted her frozen heart with their powerful courage, giving her hope as she gives them the Legend power. Snowgel later appears to aid the Magirangers against Drake, revealing her true adult form while giving Hikaru an important lesson. She later aided them in their fight against N Ma in the finale.

. At first she refused to let the Ozu siblings borrow Unigolon due to the fact that Magitopian law dictates that only humans can deal with matters on their own. Magiel even admitted she frowned on both Blagel's choice to sacrifice himself and Miyuki's intent to learn magic. But after seeing the same courage their parents showed, Magiel allowed them Unigolon's aid and made a later exception on the distribution of the Legendary Magicians' power to the Ozu siblings. When N Ma came to Magitopia in Stage 48, N Ma confronted Magiel, but Magiel sealed N Ma in an orb of fire called the Hollow Mirage. N Ma broke the orb and began destroying Magitopia. Before Magiel was seemingly killed, she managed to teleport Lunagel away to the human world. In the finale Magiel is revealed to have survived N Ma's assault by teleporting away to the Flower Garden of Souls. A year after N Ma's destruction, she was still getting used to a human (Urara) living on the rebuilt Magitopia.

 the Magiranger met when they found their secret headquarters. Despite being in a pot, he can hop around as well as fly. He can even be plucked out of the pot, which, true to his species, will cause him to emit a deafening cry, though the experience comes to him as painful (as seen in Stage 3, when Tsubasa, with headphones on, did so). He has a tendency to end most of his sentences with "de gozarimasu desu!" or "de gozarimasu desu yo!". He will often give advice to the team, particularly Kai, and introduced their individual abilities to them (such as Urara's fortune telling). He is very emotional and easily excited and tends to bicker with Smoky when he and Magi Shine joined the team. At the end of each episode when a new spell is introduced on the Magiranger's side, he explains the spell's ability. In the Movie, he grew into a Beanstalk-like ladder for the Magirangers to go to Magitopia in order to see Magiel.

 in Flagel's domain on Magitopia, causing trouble for the Magitopians with his pranks. He gathered piles of treasures until one day he opened the Annihilation Box. Though Sungel advised him against it, Smoky opened the box and was destroying him. To save him, Sungel sucked him into the Magi Lamp. Smoky was spared, but he can't last out of the lamp for more than three hours. Smoky can be released from the curse if he grants the wishes of others, but Smoky prefers to grant only one wish to whoever awakens him from his slumber, and only if he is compensated for his services. When the Ozu gang wished for Infershia to be gone, he denied their request, stating that the power the Infershia wield is greater than his own. He seems to have some limited magical powers as well, such as getting brief glimpses of the future and enlarging himself to help the gang out and by turning food into sand as a prank. Despite being a goof-off, he is a capable fighter and once piloted Travelion (though he usually just shovels the coal). He sees Urara as a mother figure and bickers with Mandora Boy now and then. He seemingly met his demise in Stage 48 protecting Urara as Dagon attacked her, but he was revived by the Nightmare Sisters to help Magi Shine for the final fight against N Ma.

Kai's Magi Phone falls in the spring she protects and she offers him the Golden GripPhone or the Silver Magi Phone. She is nice and concerned; however, she tends to repeat herself.

Others

: The manager of Kai's high school soccer team. He developed a strong crush on her, though she fell in love with Magi Red, unaware that he's Kai. In the movie, King Glum do Bridon kidnapped and attempted to marry her in order to bring his Hades Beastman Berserker army into the human world. He used the Puppet's Ring to gather the souls of humans in order to make her fall in love with him but before they were to be properly wed, however, Kai, as Magi Red, burst in and performed a powerful spell that broke the power of the ring she was wearing, and at the moment that they embraced, Yuka knew that Kai and Magi Red were one and the same. On the last episode of Magirangers, she cheered on the Magirangers with the rest of the city to defeat N Ma. It is unknown what happened between her and Kai thereafter, as he had become the Surface World and Magitopia's ambassador to Infershia after the defeat of N Ma, but it is strongly believed that they got together.

: Eriko is a haughty, self-absorbed woman who runs a restaurant that Makito often sells his vegetables to. Makito is head-over-heels in love with her, but she did not reciprocate his feelings even though he never argued with her. She gave him a small cactus (which Makito named "Petit Eriko" after her) and promised that she would date him if he made it sprout a flower. When somehow the plant sprouted flowers (due to a Hades Beast having possessed it, which also made it grow abnormally overnight), Eriko was surprised and actually confessed that the plant wasn't supposed to do that, indicating she never wanted to date Makito in the first place. However, when she became attacked by a monster version of Petit Eriko, Makito sacrificed his life to rescue her despite what she had done to him. His passion and bravery furthermore impressed her that she eventually started developing an interest in Makito, eventually becoming his girlfriend. She also appeared interested in Hikaru when he and the Magirangers returned from their extracurricular lesson in the Marudeyouna World. Eriko's interest in Hikaru further raised Makito's tension with Hikaru.

: Houka's photographer friend who she was about to marry after learning that he had the Solitary Confinement Hades Three Beast Skeleton's curse; however, once he was healed through the Beast's destruction, he and Houka decided mutually to call off the wedding (their reason being that it was better to have fun staying as friends than let life become dull after they marry). His personality is similar to Houka and that alone tends to irritate Makito. When Bullrates made Houka lose her memory, Tetsuya tried to court Houka for a second time. Makito and Tsubasa made sure this wouldn't happen.

: A popular singer known to her fans as "Reirei". Tsubasa met her when jogging one day, mesmerized by her singing. In truth, she was killed by Neries the week before Tsubasa met her. Neries' throat was injured by Blagel fifteen years ago and so her singing voice, one of her main sources for her attacks, was disabled and thus she captured Rei's soul. Rei was forced to lure humans with her beautiful voice to Neries, who would take their lives to heal her throat. Rei soon befriended Tsubasa, who was the only one who understood her. When the Magirangers found out who Rei was, Hikaru resorted to freeing her soul from the Siren, but Tsubasa didn't want to part with her. Rei was then kidnapped and absorbed by Neries for refusing to sing for her. Rei's soul created a remedy into healing Neries' throat, but Tsubasa managed to free her. Even though Tsubasa and Rei loved each other, Rei told Tsubasa that they couldn't be together because she was already dead and Tsubasa still had a future. She disappeared into the heavens, thankful that Tsubasa was the last person who heard her song, her true song.

: They met in the Mahou Sentai Magiranger vs. Dekaranger movie. On the ten year holiday the Ozu family had (known as "Fantastic Happy Day" to them), they all ate at the same restaurant Umeko (DekaPink) was in, but they were suddenly attacked by an Alienizer. When Urara and Jasmine (DekaYellow) were captured, the two teams worked together to protect the Flower of Heaven that was entrusted to Miyuki as well as battle a former Infershian (now an Alienizer). Kai and Ban (DekaRed) did not get along until they finally realized that they both had the same goals: to protect families. Near the end of the movie, they bonded over their mutual girlfriends.

: Kai's former classmate, and a pastry-chef's daughter. Kai helps her bake the Christmas cakes her family sells every holiday season, and his determination to succeed allowed successful sales in spite of the disaster she accidentally caused when Kai and Hikaru went to help her.

Underground Hades Empire Infershia

The are from the Kedomono Realm at the center of the Earth, which was ruled by the mysterious N Ma. Fifteen years ago, N Ma created the Hades Gate to send his entire army to Earth, but was stopped by the Heavenly Saint Blagel. N Ma uses his agents to break the seal so he can conquer the surface world. However, over time, some of the Infershians began to realize N Ma's insane obsession of destroying Magitopia and the Ozu Family was reckless due to needless deaths. Once N Ma was destroyed, Hades Goddess Sphinx took over the Infershia to rebuild their world and start anew with Magitopia.

Magical Spells

The various characters of Magiranger utilize magical spells to accomplish various tasks. Each magical word correspond to a digit on a phone. For example, when the Magiranger want to transform into their Magiranger forms, they use 106, which corresponds to "Maagi Magi Magiiro." and "Goolu Golu Goludiro."
