The Ozu Family (小津家, Ozu-ke) is a family of mages that initially consisted of five children (three brothers and two sisters) who lived peacefully with their mother Miyuki on the assumption that their father died in an expedition in Antarctica.

Allies

[edit]
Mandora Boy (マンドラ坊や, Mandora-bōya)
A young mandrake the Magirangers 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). Mandora Boy will often give advice to the team, particularly Kai, and introduced their individual abilities to them. He is very emotional and easily excited and tends to bicker with Smoky after he and Hikaru moved in.
Smoky the Magical Cat (魔法猫スモーキー, Mahō Neko Sumōkī)
Hikaru's mischievous feline genie who resides in the Magi Lamp, which was found in the cave that was Raigel's tomb. Smoky came into being from the volcano in Flagel's domain on Magitopia, causing trouble for the Magitopians with his pranks until he was inflicted with a curse from opening the Annihilation Box. Sungel saved Smoky by placing him in the Magi Lamp, but the cat is informed that he can't last more than three hours outside the lamp. 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 siblings 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 figures and bickers with Mandora Boy now and then.
Yuka Yamazaki (山崎 由佳, Yamazaki Yuka)
The manager of Kai's high school soccer team whom he developed a strong crush on despite her falling in love with Magi Red. But Yuka learns of Kai's identity as Magi Red during the events of Bride of Infershia, when abducted by Glúm do Bridon to be his bride. She kept this from Kai as she supports him from afar.

But Lunagel loses her memory after being attacked by Raigel, wandering in a human form that Kai later named Rin (リン) before she regaining her memories. Despite her initial thoughts on the Magirangers, she reconsiders after Kai saves her as she returns to Magitopia while helping the Ozu siblings in any way she can.
Heavenly Saint Snowgel (天空聖者スノウジェル, Tenkū Seija Sunōjeru)
The Heavenly Saint Miyuki derives her power from and former apprentice of the Five Legendary Magicians' pupil, able to unleash one's dormant magic with a person, perform cryokinesis, and assume an infant-like guise. But after the tragedy of Miyuki and Blagel along with Raigel's treachery, Snowgel took refuge in the Marudeyona World called the "Lamentation Sea" formed from her tears. The Magirangers manage to find Snowgel and convince her to aid them acquiring the Legend power. Snowgel later appears to aid in Magirangers' battle against Drake, revealing her true adult form while giving Hikaru an important lesson.
Heavenly Archsaint Magiel (天空大聖者マジエル, Tenkū Daiseija Majieru)
The giant-sized leader of the Heavenly Saints who resides in Heavenly Temple, the highest point in Magitopia. At first, she refused to let the Ozu siblings borrow Unigolon due to the fact that Magitopian law dictates that Heavenly Saints are not allowed to intervene in human affairs. 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 attacks Magitopia, after failing to stop him, Magiel teleports Lunagel to the human world while seemingly killed by the demon's rampage. But Magiel teleported herself to the Flower Garden of Souls at the last second and remained there during the final battle. A year after N Ma's destruction, Magiel is still getting used to Urara living on the rebuilt Magitopia.

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.

But Hades Gods extracted N Ma with Titan sacrificed to enable N Ma molding the god's body in his image. Three days after acquiring his new form, Absolute God N Ma (絶対神ン・マ, Zettaishin N Ma), N Ma attacks Magitopia while revealing his ability to absorb all magic.

He betrayed his comrades during their battle with Infershia, abandoning Blagel and sealing Lunagel's memories before confronted by Sungel in a battle that ended with them sealed in a cave with Raigel's mummified remains covered by Vancuria. Meemy, seeing himself as N Ma's vassel, uses the Hades Beastmen in schemes to bring N Ma into the human world before succeeding with the Magirangers' Legend powers.

[edit]

The Infershia Pantheon (冥府十神, Meifu Jusshin) are the antagonist of the second half of the series, composed of ten giant-sized deities residing in the Valley of the Gods (神々の谷, Kamigami no Tani) until they were revived upon N Ma's death to deliver Divine Punishment (神罰, Shinbatsu) on mankind with any interference having grave consequences for both the surface world and Magitopia. The reason for this is because the Hades gods' deaths serve an alternate purpose to provide N Ma with selecting a vessel among the survivors. Each deities follows a self-made code of conduct called the Dark Precept (闇の戒律, Yami no Kairitsu), using the Slab of Judgement (裁きの石版, Sabaki no Sekiban) to pick the chosen god to cast divine retribution with a dark aurora heralding their arrival to the surface, assuming a human-size form to carry out the punishment. Should they choose to play games with anyone, they must abide by the rules they made.

This forces Dagon to break the rules to lure Wolzard out by targeting his children whom he could no longer underestimated, sending Sleipnir to support Drake to force Wolzard to act. After Vancuria planted one of his fishscales on Wolzard during the battle, Dagon takes Wyvern and Titan with him to ambush Wolzard and knock him down a fiery crevasse after extracting N Ma's soul. After killing Titan so that N Ma could be reborn and then Sphinx when she abandoned her Divine Punishment, Dagon abducts Magi Mother after killing Smoky with an attack meant for Urara.

Following N Ma's resurrection, despite attempting to convince the others that the Surface World has some worth they could learn from, Sphinx is forced to attack as the last god chosen by the Slab of Judgement. Though Sphinx overpowered the Magirangers, she renounced her Divine Punishment after being convinced by Urara with Sleipnir and Dagon killing her off on N Ma's orders. But Sphinx is revived by Vancuria, saving Miyuki from Dagon while being forced to kill him. Sphinx later joins Vancuria in helping the Magirangers defeat N Ma, after which Sphinx becomes the new leader of the Infershia and establishes an alliance between her kind and Magitopia while overseeing Infershia's reconstruction.
Hades God Ifrit (冥府神イフリート, Meifushin Ifurīto)
One of the Five Warrior Gods, armed a club with a ball and chain as his weapon and able to evaporate any attacks within his sight. The first chosen by the Slab of Judgement, Ifrit toyed with the humans by lighting a tower on fire to give the humans time to repent and beg for their lives before commencing to reduce everything to ashes. But while fighting Magi Legend, Ifrit lit another tower as he proclaimed he would kill the Magirangers before it completely burns while promising to reveal their mother's whereabouts.

Hades God Cyclops (冥府神サイクロプス, Meifushin Saikuropusu)
One of the Five Warrior Gods, a robotic sharpshooter armed with sniper rifle-type bayonet that uses different ammunitions to has different effects.

But Tsubasa manages to outwit Cyclops and defeat him to save his siblings, with Cyclops destroyed by Magi Legend with assistance from Travelion.
Hades Goddess Gorgon (冥府神ゴーゴン, Meifushin Gōgon)
One of the Three Wise Gods whose personal Marudeyouna world is "Gorgon's Garden", armed with an aegis-type mirror-shield and able to turn herself into either a Nāga-like form or a giant snake to devour her enemies. Learning herself to be the third chosen by the Slab of Judgement from reading the Book of Prophecy, intending to turn people to stone through her snake familiars and mirror-shield, Gorgon sends Toad out to alter events for her benefit by having him body swap Kai and Houka. But Sphinx restores Kai and Houka when Gorgon attacks them once dealing with the others, her falling apart as she dies proclaiming Drake would avenge her.
Hades God Drake (冥府神ドレイク, Meifushin Doreiku)
One of the Two Ultimate Gods, representing Infershia's shield due to his impenetrable hide that covers his entire body except the back of his neck. Drake is armed with a sword that can shoot streams of lightning and his hide allows him to survive any kind of attack unscathed. Having to respect for his group's ritual practices, Drake's only motivation is destroying everything on the surface and fight Hikaru. Following Gorgon's death, Drake is the fourth to be chosen by the Slab of Judgement as he assumes a dragon-like form to destroy the city before Hikaru learns of Drake's weakpoint and defeats him.

Hades God Toad (冥府神トード, Meifushin Tōdo)
One of the Five Warrior Gods, armed with a trumpet-hammer and able to use a variety of poisons produced from his warts. He is also a glutton who feeds on High Zobils and collects souls, unintentionally capturing Miyuki during his post-awakening visit to the Flower Garden of Souls and holding her with his Briar Garden. Initially used by Gorgon to body-swap Kai and Houka, Toad is the fifth god chosen by the Slab of Judgement as he conjures forth huge clouds of Hades Frog Eggs in the sky to subject the world to a Plague of Frogs.

But after Wolzard injured him while retrieving N Ma's soul, Wvyern became bitter enough to lash out at Nai and Mea whenever they come to his aid or comfort him. When Titan flees to the Eternal Woods, Wyvern pursues him before learning that Makito and Houka distracted him with the latter's disguise magic to give Titan time to reach at the Lake of Slumber. This causes an infuriated Wyvern to overpower the Magirangers until Isamu showed up and absorbed one of the revenge-driven deity's flames, with Wyvern destroyed by Wolzard Fire after an incredibly short standoff.
Hades God Sleipnir (冥府神スレイプニル, Meifushin Sureipuniru)
One of the two Ultimate Gods and Dagon's right-hand, a black knight-like demon who represents Infershia's halberd who boasts of being having the greatest offence among the gods. He is armed with jousting lance or a jagged sword and a shield, with signature attack being his Ranging Spear Crusher thrust attack. Easily defeating Magi Legend with a single blow when the Hades gods first appeared, Dagon sends him to aid Drake in overpowering the Magirangers on his Hades Chariot pulled by Barikion-like horses before Wol Kaiser removes him from the fight.
