Isamu Ozu (小津 勇 Ozu Isamu), real name Blagel [Citation needed]from 22 April 2023 (UTC), or Buraijyeru[1] (ブレイジェル Bureijeru), is the ultimate warrior and champion of the Heavenly Saints who wields power over the Ferocious, Raging Fire Element (猛る烈火のエレメント Takeru Rekka no Eremento). He is the ideal father of Kai Ozu, Tsubasa Ozu, Urara Ozu, Houka Ozu, and Makito Ozu, the husband of Miyuki Ozu, and the mentor of Sungel (later father-in-law), Lunagel, and Raigel. He was well-loved by his allies and family and even though he was their greatest enemy, he was respected among the ranks of the Underground Hades Empire Infershia.
He is also known as Heavenly Hero Wolzard Fire (天空勇者ウルザードファイヤー Tenkū Yūsha Uruzādo Faiyā) of the Magirangers.
History[]
Blagel took on the human form of Isamu Ozu and married Miyuki Ozu but he soon had to leave his family when the Magitopia/Infershia war escalated. Before he left, Isamu had Miyuki promise him not to reveal the truth about their magic to their children unless otherwise the right time came. Once more a Heavenly Saint, Blagel went against Heavenly Arch Saint Magiel's wishes and battled Infershia directly to protect his family from them.
This act resulted in Blagel sacrificing himself to have Heavenly Saint Lunagel seal the Hades Gate if he should fail to destroy Absolute God N Ma before he could enter the human world. But within the Gate, Blagel fought against Beastman Four Kings of Hell and although he managed to do some damage (such as injuring Neries' throat and therefore disabling her singing voice attacks) he was severely wounded by Yeti Zee. TV STORY-Stage 32: Dad's Words TV STORY-Stage 33: To Infershia
When he was sealing N Ma and the rest of the Hades Beastmen, N Ma seeped his darkness into the open wound Zee made, causing Blagel to be transformed into Dark Magic Knight Wolzard (魔導騎士ウルザード Madōkishi Uruzādo), becoming N Ma's servant while retaining his courage and honor while seemingly killing his wife and battling his children until they learn his true identity. TV STORY-Stage 34: Bonds of Courage
As Wolzard[]
At first, he was considered the most important member of the Infershia that caused tension between him and Victory General Branken. He used the Jagun Shield, which contained Absolute God N Ma's eye. Branken constantly dueled with him at first, and he frequently fought MagiRed as Kai sought to avenge his mother's death and defeated Wolzard in a one-on-one duel, breaking his WolSabre in two in the process.
After Branken's death he claimed Branken's Hell Fang as his own and forged it into a new WolSabre. During this time he disappeared mysteriously and reappeared a little after Sorcery Priest Meemy took over and went on to fighting MagiShine. Over time, Wolzard began to piece his past together and began helping the Magirangers more and more, until his identity was finally revealed as the Magirangers' father.
Magiranger vs. Dekaranger[]
During the Magirangers and Dekarangers' escape from the Mountain of Screams, Isamu also fought DekaMaster for a short time, both proving to be evenly matched. MOVIE STORY-Mahou Sentai Magiranger vs. Dekaranger
Return[]
Meemy recaptured Blagel and turned him back into Wolzard, but Kai managed to permanently free his father from the Madou Spell. Blagel immobilized the Magirangers after absorbing their Legend powers, as they intended to fight his plan of stopping N Ma from entering the human world. While under N Ma's evil and after his purification, Wolzard could enlarge himself and combine with Dark Magic Horse Barikion to become either WolKentauros (upper torso, head, and arms) or Supreme Ruler of Darkness WolKaiser (chest).
To ensure this, Blagel absorbs N Ma's soul into him, trapping him in his Madou form as he hid out to ensure the demon isn't resurrected. However, Hades God Dagon uses the Underground Hades Infershia Two Ultimate Gods to force Wolzard to aid his children, resulting with him tracked down by Dagon who has Hades God Titan defeat him before he personally takes N Ma's soul and seemly kills Blagel.
He was thought to have died in stopping N Ma, his last words revealed to the children that Miyuki was still alive, Isamu survived by holding N Ma's soul in his body and hiding in location to ensure his resurrection never happens at the cost of his body being trapped in Wolzard form. Hades God Dagon confronted a astral projection of Wolzard and tempted him to come out of hiding to help his children when Hades God Drake was commencing his Divine Punishment. It wasn't until Dagon raised the stakes by sending Hades God Sleipnir to the surface to aid Drake, that Wolzard came out of hiding to help his children against both of the Ultimate Gods.
While fighting Sleipnir as Wolkaiser, Wolzard was unknowingly struck by Phantom Spy Vancuria with one of Dagon's scales, which served as a tracking device for the Hades Gods to find him. Wolzard then dragged himself and Sleipnir back into Infershia where he then went into hiding. Nai and Mea found him and informed Dagon where he was hiding, who then arrived along with Hades God Wyvern and Hades God Titan to challenge him. Wyvern fought him at first but was wounded in both body and pride. Then Dagon had Titan battle him, who caused his Jagan Shield to break. Dagon then successfully extracted N Ma from him, then disposed of Blagel by opening a fissure beneath him.
Left for dead, he was soon healed by Miyuki and joined his family to fight the Hades Gods in a new red-armored form, Heavenly Hero Wolzard Fire (天空勇者ウルザードファイヤー Tenkū Yūsha Uruzādo Faiyā), by absorbing Wyvern's hellfire attack and using his new-found power to destroy Wyvern. After that he, along with Miyuki, went to seek counsel from Snowgel, knowing that N Ma's rebirth would bring disaster. He dueled with Kai Ozu once again in Stage 48, teaching him his Fatal Blade technique, before he left for Magitopia to confront N Ma in a battle which cost him his life. TV STORY-Stage 48: Decisive Battle However, he was soon revived by the Nightmare Sisters to aid his family in destroying N Ma. TV STORY-Final Stage: Return to Legends

Isamu sacrificed his Wolzard Fire powers along with the Extra Heroes and the rest of the Super Sentai at the orders of AkaRenger. MOVIE STORY-Gokaiger Goseiger Super Sentai 199 Hero Great Battle
Ranger Key in Basco's Possession[]
After Basco lost his Fifteen Sixth Ranger Keys, Basco revealed that he had ten more Ranger Keys of Extra Rangers and Heroes (With the Wolzard Fire Key being one of them). TV STORY-Ep. 16: Clash! Sentai vs. Sentai
During the hunt for the Gingamen's Greater Power, Basco showed the Gokaigers three of his ten Ranger Keys and summoned a Clone of Wolzard Fire to fight the Gokaigers while Basco went after Hyuga to take the Gingamen's Greater Power. The Gokaigers and the Ranger Key Clones fought again (With Wolzard Fire fighting Gokai Green and Gokai Pink) with the clone getting beaten by the two after the Gokaigers changed into the Gingamen and beaten by the Gokai Blast, but the Wolzard Fire key was collected by Sally before the Gokaigers could take it. TV STORY-Ep. 20: The Lost Forest
Basco would summon the Wolzard Fire clone again, this time to collect the Ohrangers' Greater Power from Goro Hoshino but would end up fighting the Gokaigers again with the Wolzard Fire clone alongside the Zubaan Clone fighting Gokai Silver. During the Battle Gokai Silver was able to beat them with a combination of Changes into first Go-On Wings, then into Gold Mode and to finish them off with the Gokai Legend Crush. When the Clones were beaten they became giant and continued to attack Gokai Silver, Gokai Silver quickly summoned GoZyuDrill and quickly turned it into GoZyuRex to battle the giant Clones, at first the battle was in favor of the Clones but Gokai Silver was able to turn it to his favor by quickly changing into GoZyuJin and beat the Clones with the Goujyu Triple Drill Dream. After the Clones were returned to their Ranger Key forms the Key was quickly collected by Gai off-screen before Sally could collect it and it would be added to the Gokaigers Ranger Keys. TV STORY-Ep. 31: Crash!! Secret Operations
Farewell Space Pirates[]
After the defeat of Ackdos Gill, Captain Marvelous returned all the Ranger Keys to the former Sentai heroes. It is assumed Isamu received his key alongside his daughter Houka, allowing for them to get their powers back. TV STORY-Final Ep.: Farewell Space Pirates

Chou Super Hero Taisen[]
An iteration of Wolzard Fire was selected to participate in the Chou Super Hero Taisen tournament as a member of Team Dandy to try and win the right to become the Goriders (with Wolzard Fire as a candidate for Ki-Rider). Wolzard Fire and his team beat Team Ninja in the first round but were beaten by Team Card in the second round. MOVIE STORY-Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen
Super Sentai Strongest Battle[]
Isamu joined the Super Sentai Strongest Battle as a member of Extra Warrior Team. It’s unknown whether he participated in any of the matches, but his team lost the competition either in the first round against the Scientist Team offscreen or won against them and lost in the second round against Gilded Team offscreen.
Personality[]
As Blagel he was very honorable and cared about preserving justice and peace along with infinite courage, therefore why he fought against Infershia and N Ma. One time when Makito needed help at going out and playing baseball he gave him a good piece of advice in order to motivate him. Even loving the rest of his family like his wife all the same, with the rest of his children sadly growing up without him. Although the corruption of N Ma got to him and while brainwashed lost the need of peace as his priorities became to further N Ma's goals. As he went by the name Wolzard he first appeared as a cruel dark knight of evil as he "killed" MagiMother but later when fighting Kai there was a boy who Kai was thinking he would harm. Instead he told him that innocents wouldn't be harmed and spared the boy's life. Showing he had retained some morals he had as Blagel, revealed completely as the show progresses. Throughout the show he follows N Ma without any question and later during Meemy's rule over Infershia, loyally does whatever Meemy desires due to the latter having "N Ma's word." This honorable characteristic is displayed many other times as well as he refuses to fight the Magirangers if they are weakened, not in their normal forms, and if another foe is already beating them up and asks him to finish them of. Even going as far to get furious and swearing at her for interrupting his battle. After he was freed and became Blagel he once again became a believer of courage. Saying that the Infershia Gods would lose against the Magirangers to Hades Wise God Dagon and even later allied with them to heroically finish of Wyvern. In the end he became a legacy extra hero who after destroying N Ma with his family, would bond with them and defend Earth if need be.
Forms[]
Blagel's true form is that of a near-faceless dragon-human hybrid.

Portrayal[]
- Isamu Ozu is portrayed by Tsutomu Isobe (磯部 勉 Isobe Tsutomu). As Wolzard, his suit actor was Hideaki Kusaka (日下 秀昭 Kusaka Hideaki).
- In the Korean dub of Magiranger entitled Power Rangers Magic Force, which aired in South Korea by JEI Talent TV, Isamu is renamed "Roscoe", while he keeps his ranger designation. He is voiced by Si Young-jun (시영준?).
Design[]
- As Wolzard, he wore purple armor (with yellow and silver on some parts) and black undersuit. His shoulder armor bore the shape of wolves. His chest armor bore the shape of "W".
- As Wolzard Fire, his armor does not appear much difference on the design, except for red as the dominant color.
Etymology[]
- As Wolzard, his name is likely a portmanteau of "wolf" and "wizard."
- As Infershia’s generals are based on horror film monsters, Wolzard is based on a werewolf
- As Heavenly Saint, his name is a portmanteau of "blaze'" and "angel."
Ranger Key[]
- "Magiranger!"
- ―Mobilates' Gokai Change announcement[src]
The Wolzard Fire Ranger Key (ウルザードファイヤーレンジャーキー Uruzādo Faiyā Renjā Kī) is Isamu Ozu's personal Ranger Key and what became of his powers after he along with the rest of the 34 Super Sentai sacrificed their powers to end the Great Legend War.
This key, along with the other nine extra hero keys and the fifteen sixth ranger keys, were initally acquired by Basco ta Jolokia and later used by the Gokaigers. Like all of his Ranger Keys, Basco used his trumpet, the Rapparatta, to turn the Wolzard Fire key into a puppet to do his bidding. Basco summoned DekaMaster, MagiMother, Wolzard Fire, along with the Black Knight in the Ginga Forest. They were all defeated, while the Black Knight key was taken by Gai, the other three were recovered by Sally. Basco later united his nine remaining Ranger Keys when he was confronted by Goro Hoshino (OhRed†). The Extra Heroes would then fight the Gokaigers again, who wished to take the Ohrangers' Greater Power rather than just be given it. Wolzard Fire, alongside Zubaan, fought Gai Ikari (Gokai Silver), the two of them growing before being defeated a second time. The Wolzard Fire key, along with the rest of the Extra Heroes was claimed by the Gokaiger.
While in the possession of the Gokaigers, the Wolzard Fire Ranger Key was used by Captain Marvelous (Gokai Red) on one occasion.
- As part of an all-Bangai Hero Gokai Change in the Gokaigers' fight with two Dogormin. TV STORY-Ep. 37: The Strongest Fighting Machine
After Zangyack were finally defeated, the Gokaigers gave the Ranger Keys back to their rightful owners. It is presumed that Isamu received his key and became Wolzard Fire once more.
Usage[]
Notes[]
- Isamu is the only Magiranger to not have "Magi" in his Ranger title.
- Wolzard Fire's Majin form is unknown, if he has one. He is never seen fighting as a giant, or with Barikion. Wolzard Fire was rumored to be able to combine with Horned Sacred Horse Unigolon to form Bravekaiser, but this was never seen in the series, or any magazine scans.
- In Episode 31 of Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger a Wolzard Fire Ranger Key clone used by Basco ta Jolokia grew to giant size alongside Zubaan while fighting GokaiSilver.
- Wolzard is one of the first Sentai villain to become Extra Rangers after becoming good.
