- "The Shining Solar Element! Heavenly Hero MagiShine! (輝く太陽のエレメント!天空勇者!マジシャイン! Kagayaku taiyō no eremento! Tenkū yūsha! Majishain!)"
- ―MagiShine's role call[src]
Hikaru (ヒカル Hikaru), true name Sungel (サンジェル Sanjeru), is a Heavenly Saint, now known as MagiShine (マジシャイン Maji Shain). Hikaru became a mentor figure for the Magirangers and acted as their Sixth Ranger. Later, he became a member of the Ozu family after his marriage to one of his disciples, Urara Ozu.
History[]
Past[]
Born as Sungel the Heavenly Saint, he was a student of Isamu Ozu alongside Raigel. However, the latter turned to evil in service of the Underground Hades Empire Infershia and turned Sungel into a frog although not before he himself was sealed away.
Magiranger[]
Sungel is given the name Hikaru whilst still a frog by Houka, after he saves the Ozu siblings from an enemy attack by creating a barrier of light as soon as they find him. After being overpowered by Garim the Gremlin, Urara kisses Hikaru after overcoming her fear of frogs. After becoming MagiShine and adopting the name Hikaru, he becomes the Magirangers' new mentor and comes to their aid whenever he is needed. TV STORY-Stage 20: Kiss Me, Ribbit
He was also the master of the feline genie Smoky the Magical Cat, having sealed him in the MagiLamp after he unwittingly got his hands on a treasure which would make him slowly disappear. Since Smoky is an orphan and a troublemaker, he started looking up to Sungel as a foster father since that incident (although he still acts mischievously from time to time).
Initially, Makito seems to be at odds with Hikaru, both because he feels displaced as the head of the family (since he is the older brother), and because his beloved, Eriko Ikeda, seems to have fallen for Hikaru as well. Due to this, Hikaru proposes a survival test for the Magirangers: he takes them to a Marudeyōna World and gives them the task of finding a ticket that will enable their return home—however, they have to do so without relying on their powers. Thanks to the test, Makito regains his confidence and starts to see Hikaru's guidance in a better light. TV STORY-Stage 21: Let's Go on the Magic Express
Hikaru defeats Meemy in a decisive sword battle between Heavenly Saints, holding his ground despite having to face the foul play of the fallen Heavenly Saint. TV STORY-Stage 34: Bonds of Courage
Hikaru is ordered by Snowgel at one point to learn a decisive lesson from Kai. Though he at first doesn't believe there is something that Kai can teach him, Hikaru eventually learns that over-thinking on a situation is often a big waste of time and it is often better to take immediate action instead, allowing Hikaru to overcome his fears of Hades Ultimate God Drake and discovers where this seemingly invincible god's weak spot is. TV STORY-Stage 42: Confrontation! Two Ultimate Gods
Despite the initial animosity Urara feels towards his cool, superior attitude, they develop a relationship and eventually marry, merely instants before Absolute God N Ma launches his offensive against Magitopia. TV STORY-Stage 47: The Magic Cast By You
Hikaru has foreseen his death at the hands of N Ma. And apparently the vision come true, when N Ma strikes him down when both Hikaru and Isamu confront him in Magitopia. TV STORY-Stage 48: Decisive Battle
However, Hikaru is later revived by the Nightmare Sisters to fight N Ma at his wife's side. One year after N Ma's destruction, he lives in Magitopia with his wife Urara by his side. TV STORY-Final Stage: Return to Legends
Though he is not related to the Ozu family by blood, he considers his mentor Heavenly Saint Blagel as a father-like figure and can now amplify this since he is now Isamu's son-in-law.
Boukenger vs. Super Sentai[]
Along with his brother-in-law Tsubasa, Hikaru appears in as he and Smoky are trapped in Time Demon God Chronos' Dimension along with the Boukenger core team. He transfers his "Love Spirit" power to AkaRed to power DaiVoyager into its Burning Legend form. MOVIE STORY-GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai
Gokaiger[]
A few years later, Hikaru fights alongside not only his own team, but every single Sentai Ranger in existence, against the Empire of Zangyack when it attacks the Earth in the Great Legend War. After fighting against hundreds of Gormin and their Sugormin commanders. Akarenger notices the fleet moving towards them so he gathers all of the Rangers together and gave them the order to sacrifice their powers to wipe out the first invasion's armada. TV STORY-Ep. 1: The Space Pirates Appear
Ranger Key in Basco's Possession[]
When Marvelous went to confront Basco, Basco revealed that there were more Ranger Keys than the ones that he Marvelous and AkaRed collected, after Basco's first group of Ranger Key Clones were beaten he summoned another group of ten clones (with a clone of MagiShine being one of them.) to attack the Gokaigers and kidnap them bar Marvelous. TV STORY-Ep. 15: A Privateer Appears After Marvelous freed the others, Basco summoned his clones again to fight the Gokaigers, the clone of MagiShine along with the clone of Shinken Gold fought Gokai Red and was beaten by the Gokai Scramble. After their encounter with Basco, the Gokaigers took the MagiShine Key along with the other Sixth Ranger Keys and added it to their own Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the defeat of Ackdos Gill, Captain Marvelous returns all the Ranger Keys to the former Sentai heroes. It is assumed Hikaru receives his key alongside his sister-in-law Houka, allowing for them to get their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates
Zyuohger vs. Ninninger[]
MagiShine appears with his team among the first 38 Super Sentai whom collectively empower Wild Tousai Shuriken King in its fight against the titanic Gillmarda, granting the Ninningers and Zyuohgers the power to perform the Zyuoh Ninnin Super Sentai Burst which destroys Gillmarda with the combined power of all 40 Super Sentai. MOVIE STORY-Doubutsu Sentai Zyuohger vs. Ninninger: Message from the Future from Super Sentai
Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Hikaru joins the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Gilded Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in any of the matches, but his team is eliminated after losing the third round against the Super Strong Team.
Personality[]
Hikaru's exploits are said to be extraordinary, he also claims to have defeated the Cerberus himself. So he dislikes admitting any defeat in battle, something that Smoky often makes the object of teasing (such as the times when he was beaten up by King Glúm do Bridon or Hades God Drake). He has also shown to have some fascination with trains, as seen in Stage 22 when Houka takes him to Kyoto and they visit a train museum in the process. TV STORY-Stage 22: A Date in Kyoto? This makes sense since he is the conductor of the Magical Train Travelion Express.
Forms[]
MagiShine insert themes are Shining Magic MagiShine & Taiyou ~the power of rising sun~.
Sungel's true form is that of a near-faceless (creature)-human hybrid.

Behind the Scenes[]
Portrayal[]
- Hikaru was portrayed by Yousuke Ichikawa (市川 洋介 Ichikawa Yōsuke). As MagiShine, his suit actor was Jiro Okamoto (岡元 次郎 Okamoto Jirō).
- In the Korean dub of Magiranger entitled Power Rangers Magic Force, which aired in South Korea by JEI Talent TV, Hikaru is renamed "Shine" as his original Ranger name.
Design[]
As MagiShine, he wore dark blue spandex undersuit and gold knight armor with a long red cape. Unlike the core Magirangers, his belt buckle didn't bear any "M" shape. Instead, his helmet visor did bear the "M" shape, with a red gem above it. Additionaly, the helmet armor had a feather-like diagonal detail on the top.
Concept Art[]
Etymology[]
- Sungel's human name was chosen because it evokes the Japanese word for light "hika(ri/ru)".
- Heavenly Saint Sungel's name is a portmanteau of "sun" and "angel".
- MagiShine's name is a pun on the word "magician" and a portmanteau of the words "magic" and "shine".
Legend Sentai Devices[]
- "Magiranger!"
- ―Mobilates'/Gokai Cellular's Gokai Change announcement[src]
The MagiShine Ranger Key (マジシャインキー Maji Shain Renjā Kī) is Hikaru Ozu's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrifice their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key, along with the other fourteen Sixth Ranger keys and the ten extra hero keys, are initally acquired by Basco ta Jolokia and later used by the Gokaigers. Like all of his Ranger Keys, Basco uses his trumpet, the Rapparatta, to turn the MagiShine key into a puppet to do his bidding. The copy MagiShine was one of the remaining ten sixth rangers after the Gokaigers defeat the first five, with Basco using these ten to ambush the Gokaigers and take all of them hostage bar Marvelous. When Marvelous rescues them, they defeat all 10 puppets and claim the Ranger Keys.
A short while after, the first fourteen Sixth Ranger Reys, along with all the Ranger Keys of the first 33 Super Sentai, are briefly taken by the Black Cross King and turned into Ranger puppets that are fought by the Gokaigers and the Goseigers. The MagiShine key is among ten of these Sixth Ranger Keys who fight, and are defeated by Gosei Knight. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
While in the possession of the Gokaigers, the MagiShine Ranger Key was mainly used by Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver), who used it to fight as MagiShine. It was also used by Joe Gibken (Gokai Blue) on one occasion.
- Joe becomes MagiShine when the Gokaigers use the powers of the sixth heroes while fighting Action Commander Almadon. TV STORY-Ep. 17: The Amazing Silver-Colored Man
- While fighting against Sally as Basco attempts to take the Greater Power of the Megarangers. TV STORY-Ep. 39: Why? We're High School Students
After Zangyack is finally defeated, the Gokaigers give the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Hikaru received his key and became MagiShine once more.
