Mandora Bouya (マンドラ坊や Mandora Bōya) is a young Mandrake of the Magirangers.
History[]
Magiranger[]
Despite being in a pot, he can hop around as well as fly. He has a tendency to end most of his sentences with "de gozarimasu desu!" or "de gozarimasu desu yo!". Mandora Bouya is also know to release a powerful shriek when he is forcibly removed from his pot (at least three times in the series it has happened: first on Stage 3 (pictured), then on Stage 10 when Makito took him out of his pot to plant the cactus Eriko had given him, and lastly on Stage 39 when Tsubasa plucked him out to quell the uproar around Kai and Houka's body switch).
He will often give advice to the team, particularly Kai, and introduced their individual abilities to them (such as Urara's fortune telling) as well as inform them of what he knows of Magitopia as well as playing a Magitopian song. He is very emotional and easily excited and tends to bicker with Smoky when he and MagiShine 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.
Akibaranger[]

Etymology[]
Mandora Bouya's name is derived from "Mandragora
" (マンドラゴラ Mandoragora), a toxic species of plants from the nightshade family, infamous for having members of this genus, the mandrakes, being for both its usage as an ingredient for witchcraft and its roots resembling humans. Due to this, superstitions and legends arose surrounding them that mandrake roots would kill anyone who uproot them.
