Biography[]
After N Ma was again destroyed by Isamu's sacrifice, it activated a fail safe in the awakening of the Infershian Pantheon. When Vancuria found the chamber of the Hades Gods, Ifrit was the first of Gods Vancuria met. He was wrathful for her trespassing and asked her who she was and what she was doing in their secret valley. Then the other Gods arrived. Vancuria explained to the Infershia Pantheon that N Ma was again defeated by Blagel and the Magirangers and they had to help Infershia conquer the Surface World. The Hades Gods agreed and arrived to the Human World. Once revived, with Vancuria as a witness, Dagon and the other Hades Gods rose from the Earth and he introduced them, saying they were the humans' punishers and have surfaced to tell humans to wallow in despair for the judgment they will execute. When Magirangers tried to interfere, the Gods easily defeated their MagiLegend Robo and left. As Hikaru explained to the Ozu siblings, the Infershian gods' punishment on the surface can not be interfered as the act would threaten Magitopia while ensuring the return of N-Ma in his full glory.
In the next episode, the Gods were spending their time by playing the games with each other and Ifrit was duelling Titan for sport. They were called off by Sphinx, who said that the duel was won and then the gods had a ceremony of choosing the one of them to attack the Human Realm and carry on the Divine Punishment. Ifrit was chosen by the Judgement Stone and did the order of N Ma. He arrived to the Human World and lit the tower in Tokyo to show the humans how much they had left before he slaughters them. The Dark Aurora signaled the Magirangers his arrival and Hikaru arrived to fight the Hades God. Hikaru tried to fight Ifrit with the Travelion and tried to wrapp the demon, but Ifrit easily freed himself and easily defeated the Travelion. Then Ifrit shrunk to the human size and fought Sungel on the ground. Ifrit easily overpowered the MagiShine and Hikaru tried to use his most powerful attacks to fight the demon, but Ifrit easily deflected all of his attacks. Later the Magirangers arrived and Kai asked Ifrit if he was the one who held their mother Miyuki captured, and Ifrit told the Mystic Warriors that he would tell them about their mother if they would defeat him and refused by telling the Magirangers that if anyone of the surface interferes in an Infershian god's punishment, it will end with the destruction of everything.
Later, Ifrit returned to the Tokyo and once the tower was extinguised, Ifrit was about to carry out the divine punishment, while Wyvern and Vancuria watched from afar. The Magirangers arrived and knocked Ifrit to stop his attack and Ifrit then set the street light for a game of survival. The battle started and the Magirangers did everything they could to defeat the Fire Demon. Hikaru and Urara managed to defeat Ifrit and he returned to his normal giant size. Rangers summoned their MagiLegend and Travelion to battle the villain and when the heroes tried to use the MagiLegend Fire Tornado against the Hades God, Ifrit managed to withstand it. Vancuria thought Ifrit would win in a battle with Magirangers, since the battle was going in his way, but Wyvern revealed to the Vampire Queen that Ifrit lost because the street light fire went out. Because Ifrit broke the Dark Precepts, Dagon was enraged and destroyed his comrade by impaling him with his trident as a penalty. With his last breath, Ifrit warned the Magirangers that despite they defeated him, but his comrades would arrive to get revenge on the Mystic Warriors and the Magirangers would fall from the Infershia Pantheon. Ifrit told the five warriors that they still had to defeat the nine Hades Gods and this would be the hardest trial they would ever have in their life. He also revealed to the heroes that their mother Miyuki was held captured by the Hades God who possesses a briar garden. He then turned into the stone and exploded.
199 Hero Great Battle[]
Ifrit was revived and summoned as a member of the Black Cross Army. He was destroyed by Dyna Robo, Flash King, DaiBouken, and Battle Fever Robo.
Personality[]
Ifrit was a ruthless, violent, sadistic and vicious Hades God, who would stop at nothing to destroy the Magirangers and enforce the Divine Punishment by subjugating humanity and destroying the Human World. He was a also highly thrill-seeking, destructive and relentless and enjoyed burning the buildings, setting things on fire and causing havoc in Tokyo. He was highly sadistic, ruthless, arrogant and enjoyed taunting the Magirangers, telling them that they would never manage to defeat him. His arrogance was ultimately his greatest weakness, as he underestimated the Mystic Warriors and was eventually defeated by them. Ifrit was also extremely loyal to the Infershia Pantheon and was willing to do anything to fulfill the goal of the Infershia to conquer and subjugate the Human Realm. Even, when he was mortally wounded, he felt betrayed by Dagon, but he still told the Magirangers that defeating him wasn't the end of their war with Infershia and promised the heroes that his comrades would come to avenge him. He also told the heroes that they still had to defeat all of the Hades Gods, and the battle with the other Gods would be the greatest battle in their life.
However, despite his evil, ruthless and sadistic nature, Ifrit wasn't completely evil. He was shown to be good friends with other Hades Gods, and was shown to take pleasure in duelling and competing other Gods for sport. Also, despite his hostile treatment of the humans, Ifrit wasn't devoid of honorable traits and was a highly honorable individual. He was shown to fight and play fair with his opponents, such as when he shrunk to the human size when fighting Sungel. He also fought honestly with Magirangers and never cheated. Ifrit also valued and obeyed the Dark Precepts and never break them, loyally enforcing the Divine Punishment without cheating. And finally the primary trait of Ifrit was that he was always keeping promises. He promised the Magirangers that he would tell them about where their mother was if they would defeat him, and when they managed to defeat him, he kept his promise and revealed that Miyuki was held captured by the agod who owned the briar garden. However, despite keeping his promise to tell the Magirangers the truth about their mother, Ifrit still didn't mention his comrade by name.
