History Series / MahouSentaiMagiranger

** As described earlier in MeaningfulName and JustForPun, the Ozu family's names and residence address are a play on ''Film/TheWizardOfOz''.

* JustForPun: The series has as much fun as it can playing on the words "Magi-" and the Japanese word "maji" (meaning "really" or "seriously").

* {{Crossover}}: ''Magiranger vs. [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger Dekaranger]]''. Also, like the Dekarangers, [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCureMaxHeart Honoka and Nagisa]] drop in for a visit in a Audio Drama. Later, the series has the honor of being the first to get a dedicated episode tribute in ''[[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Gokaiger]]'', with Kai showing up with Flagel to represent his family.

* MixAndMatch: Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger = (Super Sentai + Literature/HarryPotter + Franchise/CthulhuMythos with a dash of Myth/ClassicalMythology) + BadassFamily.

** Oddly enough though, there are a few early monsters who spontaneously become giant sized without the use of magic. These monsters are noted by [[ElegantGothicLolita Nai]] [[CreepyTwins and]] [[DarkChick Mare]] as having "special bodies" like them.

* TheyDo: [[spoiler:Urara and Hikaru.]]

* OneMillionBC: The [[PocketDimension Marudeyona World]] that [[MentorArchetype Hikaru]] sends everyone to to help Makito get over his funk in Stage 21.

*** Houka, TheChick of the group, means "fragrance.".

* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: Both [[BigGood Magiel]] and [[BigBad N Ma]] are the most powerful beings of their respective domains.

* WeddingSmashers: [[spoiler:Lunagel interrupts Hikaru and Urara's wedding [[AlmostKiss right in the middle of their altar kiss]], but "coming to warn them about Magitopia being destroyed" was a pretty good reason to warrant that, so nobody holds a grudge. Hikaru and Urara still consider themselves married by the next morning.]]]]

* WeddingSmashers: [[spoiler:Lunagel interrupts Hikaru and Urara]]'s wedding [[AlmostKiss right in the middle of their altar kiss]], but "coming to warn them about Magitopia being destroyed" was a pretty good reason to warrant that, so nobody holds a grudge. Hikaru and Urara still consider themselves married by the next morning.]]

* MetaphoricalMarriage: [[spoiler:Putting [[UndeadTaxExemption any potential logistics questions]] of marrying a Heavenly Saint aside, Hikaru and Urara's "marriage" is just a small at-home ceremony officiated by Smoky done [[LastWishMarriage the day before Hikaru potentially goes off to die]]. Of course, the family considers them to be married for all intents and purposes, and by the time of the epilogue a year later they're HappilyMarried enougu for Urara to even move out to go live with Hikaru in Magitopia.]]

** The Flower of Heaven in ''[[Film/MahouSentaiMagirangerVsDekaranger Magiranger vs. Dekaranger]]'' also counts; part of the reason the siblings are so unwilling to part with it (well, besides its [[MacGuffin world-destroying capabilities]] is its importance to their mother.

* PlayingGertrude: While actors being younger than their characters is common in Sentai, the cast for ''Magiranger'' had an unusually strong trend of skewing on the lower end; besides Kai's actor Atsushi Hashimoto (who was 18 while Kai is 17[[note]]even then, Hashimoto was the youngest actor to play a Red until [[Series/KaitouSentaiLupinrangerVsKeisatsuSentaiPatranger Kairi]]'s actor Asahi Ito, thirteen years later[[/note]]) and Houka's actress Ayumi Beppu (who was 22 like her character and, ironically, the oldest of the siblings' actors), ''all'' of the major characters had actors younger than their in-series age:
** Tsubasa is 19 and Urara 20, but both actors (Hiroya Matsumoto and Asami Kai) were 18.
** Makito's actor Yuuki Ito had just turned 20, while his character Makito is 24.
** Miyuki's actress Azusa Watanabe was a particularly extreme case at 36 years old, playing a character whose oldest child is only 12 years younger than she was; the producer was even initially worried about casting her as such an AbsurdlyYouthfulMother but went ahead with it because Watanabe herself was interested in being in Sentai.
** Technically, Hikaru's actor Yosuke Ichikawa (25), Rin/Lunagel's actress Meibi Yamanouchi (18), and Isamu's actor Tsutomu Isobe (55) applied as well, [[Really700YearsOld but that's more of an understandable situation]].

%%* Five Man Band:
%%** TheHero: Kai
%%** TheLancer: Tsubasa
%%** TheSmartGuy: Urara
%%** TheBigGuy and SupportingLeader: Makito
%%** TheChick: Houka
%%** SixthRanger and [[{{Mentors}} Mentor]]: Hikaru
%%** Literal TeamMom: Miyuki
%%** [[spoiler: Literal TeamDad: Isamu]]

* BrickJoke: During one Omake segment, [[TeamPet Mandora Boy]] swears revenge upon [[TeamPet Smoky]]. In a later Omake segment, he succeeds.

* FunnyBackgroundEvent: 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.

* InstantExpert: Upon first receiving their powers from their mother, the Magirangers figure out how to operate them fairly quickly. That said, this only applies as far as basic things go, because Miyuki's death leaves them stuck with self-study and a minimal amount of guidance from Mandora Boy for a while; by the time Hikaru shows up in Stage 20, one of the first things he does is call out how obviously their lack of training shows. (In fact, some of the earlier MonsterOfTheWeek problems in the early episodes, most particularly Houka's vampirism, could have potentially been solved more quickly if an experienced magician like Miyuki, Lunagel, or Hikaru had been present at that point in the series.)

* {{Leitmotif}}: Peace in Heaven, Miyuki's theme and "The Prologue of Magitopia", according to [[MrExposition Mandora Boy]]

* NonActionGuy: Mandora Boy.

* {{Omake}}: During which Mandora Boy (usually) talks about whatever new spell was introduced in the episode, and frequently suffers some manner of comic hijinks.

* PersonalityPowers: There's even a song in Stage 3 sung by Mandora Boy about how the Magirangers' elemental powers and personalities match, as well as their roles in the FiveManBand.

* {{Squee}}: [[NonActionGuy Mandora Boy]] tends to react this way whenever the Heavenly Saints show up.

* VerbalTic: Mandora Boy's "de gozarimasu desu" which, considering its length[[note]]It's a combination of "''de gozaru''", "''-(i)masu''" and "''-desu''", which, [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment in their own ways]], ''are'' applicable {{Verbal Tic}}s[[/note]], borders on parody.

%%*** Makito: [[AnAxeToGrind Axe]]

** 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".

* FantasticFirearms: [=MagiShine=]'s WeaponOfChoice is a magic lamp-shaped firearm that can shoot bolts of golden energy after he rubs it first. It comes complete with a [[GenieInABottle genie]] who is shot out of the lamp as the finishing move.

* WeaponOfChoice:
** MagicWand: The siblings and their mother's [=MagiSticks=].[[note]]It also doubles as the female Magirangers' default WeaponOfChoice, though Miyuki's is longer then her children's[[/note]]
** MorphWeapon: The brothers' [=MagiSticks=] are able to change into a weapon for them to use:
