MagiMother vs. Hades Beast Troll

At home, she shows off her magic in preparing tea and cake. She states hat the monster is from hell and she is a magician given magic from a Sky Saint to fight them. She gives the four (except Kai) uniforms. Then black cloaks and their Magi-Phones appear, they are to contact Magitopia. They will be given magic from the Sky Saints living in the sky and become Magirangers. Kai is upset he doesn't have one. She detects an evil force coming. She tells them to fight, but the girls don't want to do it on their own. She gathers their hands and encourages them. Tsubasa is not sure but they all rush off. Miyuki says Kai is too young because he is in high school. She heads to the wall but he stops her. She says because of the thing with the balloon, he can be too reckless, and she can't trust him. He is says he is not scared. She explains that recklessness and courage are different. She says without true courage, you can't us magic. He becomes upset and leaves.

Zobiru appear and the four face them in the forest. They transform and do their roll call. Kai sees this from a bush. They fight using their elemental powers. Blue gives one their horoscope, readying them for Pink. Yellow says he doesn't feel like it, but he will fight. The sky becomes dark. Elsewhere under a pyrmaid-like device, Miyuki says she needs more time. Wolzard appears. Day returns, Kai falls to the ground, scared of the wizard. Wolzard moves on to the others, introduces himself and attacks them. Kai wants to save them but he is scared, he can't move. Wolzard points his sword to Green and raises his sword. Before he strikes, Kai kicks a soda can on Wolzard. He rushes toward them, in front of them. Miyuki says this is true courage. Kai stops Wolzard's sword from striking and he glows. And a cloak is donned on him with his red uniform and changer. He transforms and introduces himself. Wolzard sends the Zobiru upon him. He changes one of them into a soccer ball and takes down the others with it. He turns his MagiStick into MagiSword. He becomes fire and burns them down.The five reunite and they tell him not to be overzealous. Wolzard appears from a higher clift and Red says he's next. Wolzard calls his horse.
