Emergency!
I deliver with a cool style and a burning heart.
I am... Red.
Where's the scene of today's crime, Umeko?!
Roger!
Ow!
Akagi! Are you daydreaming again?
Wait, no, that's... stop, stop!
No, no, no!
And this!
What the hell is this?
It's the SPD logo from the twenty-eighth Super Sentai series, Sentai Police Dekaranger!
See, Sentai Police Deka—
Sasaki! Ponpoko! Delivery!
Here's your first run for today.
Okay.
Oh yeah! I get to see her today!
Hey!
No detours!
And no more daydreaming!
What?!
An Aurora Sentai Maskman Deluxe Chogokin Light-Speed Combination Great Five, mint in box?!
Hot! Deluxe Chogokin Light-Speed Combination Great Five Stickers intact / no fading
The release that revolutionized Sentai toys with genuine ABS plastic and accurate sticker application,
and it's going for only 100,800 yen?!
So cheap!
So expensively cheap!
What was I made to shoot?
A sudden nightmare? A grim ending?
A... Aoi-tan!
You really do love Sentai more, don't you, Nobuo?
Even though my movie is coming out soon...
Even though I have releases like figurines and hug pillows coming soon...
Bang.
Forgive me, Great Five!
I may have sworn to dedicate my life to Super Sentai,
but I, Akagi Nobuo, at 29 years old, am disgustingly moe over Aoi-tan!!!
I was glad I could at least meet you...
Allow me to at least leave in an appropriate fashion...
Oyobu's Lethal Dash!
That's...
...Akagi Nobuo.
Good morning, Sasaki Ponpoko Delivery here.
Right...
Hey. Your smile is as beautiful as ever, Sayaka.
Can I get my usual gift?
OK. Here it comes.
You need it stamped, too, right?
That day will come... as long as I've still got a chance...
Aoi-tan's movie! They've finally announced it!
Do you see something outside?
Oh, I was just wondering how the weather, was, y'know?
That was a close one!
If Sayaka found out what I really am...
I'm sorry... but dating someone who's 29 years old and still into Sentai,
and who calls anime girls "mai waifu," is just...
Somebody catch him! He snatched my purse!
I got this back for you, miss.
Thank you so much!
Thanks.
Hang on.
Isn't this where...
You're Akagi Nobuo, right?
Would you like to become an Akibaranger, and fight to create a peaceful future for mankind?
Akibaranger?
It's still the first episode so the premise isn't really established yet, but,
this is probably the story of Akihabara's three-man Sentai team!
Unofficial Sentai... Akibaranger!
Kouya susabu reppu wa
A burning gaze stirs the air
Hoshi no koe ka doukoku ka
Does the planet's voice tremble with fear?
Tashika ni tatta yuusha e no geki ka
Looks like it's the beginning of a heroic adventure!
Kizu moshi wo mo itowanai
They're not afraid of being hurt or killed
Nikuki aku wo uteru nara
When it's time to shoot down the hated enemy
Sange no kigai
Brace for spectacular failure,
Guren no hi e tobikome
and throw yourself into a crimson inferno!
Denkou eiri da
The mysterious heroes of Electric Town!
(We Are Akibaranger!)
Shouri no flag wo tatero
Trigger the flag for victory!
A! A! Abunakatta
A! A! Ah, that was close...
Ki! Ki! Keyboard ni

Akibaranger!
Hikounin Sentai
The Unofficial Sentai!
Episode 1
Pain is Power
You want me to be the Red of a new Sentai?!
Episode 1
Pain is Power
That's right. You're the only one who can do it!
I knew it!
It's just like Ranru from the Burstosaur Sentai!
She got her Dino-Brace after stopping a mugging!
And now, I, too—
You didn't stop anything!
But you saw, didn't you? He has an incredible power!
One far beyond what any normal person could possess.
So, uh, will we be going over the script at the main studio?
TOEI Toei Tokyo Studio Toei Television Productions Toei Digital Center
Or the Ginza office?
And when will filming start?
What are you talking about?
We aren't filming anything, this is the real—
No, I don't even need to know! I'm good to go at any time.
After all, my soul is pure Red, after all!
He's not even listening...
So, who are you?
...Aoyagi Mitsuki.
You're Blue, right?!
Nice to meet you.
Well, we'll put aside the introductions for now.
Help us find the next member.
What's next? Green? Or maybe Pink?
Yellow.
Yellow?!
What's the problem?
Isn't it obvious?!
Red needs his color in his name, so I'm Akagi!
Blue is Aoyagi!
So of course, Yellow's gotta have a name with the "Ki" character in it!
And in my 29 years, I've never met anyone with a name like that.
You're 29?!
You're an old man!
This is going to be a problem.
What would the great Sentai Reds do at a time like this?
Electronic Sentai Denjiman
Birdman Sentai Jetman
Welcome home, big brother!
Who are you and where did you come from?!
I guess you didn't notice...
I'm gonnya be Akiba Yellow, I'm Moegi Yumeria!
Nice to meet nya!
Moegi Yumeria
So you're Yellow?
While you were pondering things, I found her pretty easily.
But we can't do things like this!!
We can't?
A female Blue and a female Yellow on one Sentai team...
That's never been done before!
Really, never?! So awesome!!
I wannya be a strong, cute Yellow like Chisato!
You know about Mega Yellow?! Very good!
Nyeah!
Well, let's get going.
If we don't hurry, we'll get caught in it.
You mean... the alien invasion?!
No, the rain!
Hey, wait, let me in!
This is... without a doubt, our secret base.

Go on in.
Good work on your mission!
This is...
This is Starbeast Sentai Gingaman's GingaiOh!
Why do you have this?!
Because I wanted it.
Nyand I think this is... Magiranger's Mandraboy, don'tcha know, right?
Hey, you're pretty good!
More like nyot bad!
Huh?
What are you...
I guess I didn't introduce myself, did I?
Hakase?
Sentai Cafe Secret Base Manager Hiroyo Hakase
You're Doctor Professor Hakase?!
Of course not.
Hakase Hiroyo.
And I'm not a doctor, I'm a manager.
Red is heading out!
Seeya.
Bye, Manager.
I'll be waiting for your safe return!
Oh, I get it!
We should call you Manager here, like "When you're here, call me Commander Edogawa!"
So what's with the lab coat?
Just my costume for the cafe.
I'm going home!
Wait a minute!
I guess you don't care about martial arts, after all.
What?!
Didn't you want to become a master?!
Hirose Ai Gets Her Wish Aoyagi Mitsuki Loses
Aoyagi Mitsuki
Oh, I see...
Yeah, you should become a master! We can do it together!
How am I going to learn anything in this dump?!
This is a scam!
Why don't you wait until you've used this before saying that?
The MMZ-01...
Officially licensed...
Moe Moe Z-Cune.
Aoi-tan!
Why do you know Z-Cune Aoi?
What about you?
Well, I'm...
A fan of Aoi-tan.
You're 29, into Sentai... nyand you drool over Aoi, too?
But that's great! We've got something in common, right?
Don't get me wrong! I just like it for the fights...
No, you're just like me.
- No, no, no. - Yes, yes, yes.
- No, no, no! - Yes, yes, yes!
Anyway!
Try transforming.
We use Aoi-tan to transform?!
That's right.
You can decide what you want to do afterwards.
I guess it couldn't hurt to try once...
The transformation codeword is "Grand Delusion."
Grand Delusion!
...grand delusion?
Bang!
Whaaaaaaat?!
A warehouse? Why are we here?
This is one of Sentai's most common settings!
That's not even the surprising part!
We have actually...
Totally...
just transformed!
Yeah!
I told you, this wasn't just filming a TV show.
Then that means... I'm a Sentai Red, for real?!
Awesome!
Super awesome!
How obnoxious.
First, let's test your Akibaranger powers.
Eyes forward.
A training scene with a wrecking ball, just like in my daydreams!
What are you talking about?!
It's dangerous!
This stupid thing!
Amazing!
This is the best!
Okay, that one's too big!
That's alright, we can take care of it with this!
Right nyon!
Normal Attack!
Gun Blast!
So, how do you like the Akibaranger powers?
It's incredible! I feel amazing!
We can do it! We're the 37th Super Sentai!
Well, no.
Why not?!
Unless you get official recognition,
complete with a TV adaptation of your adventures that airs specifically on Sunday morning,
you're not really part of the Super Sentai series.
In other words... you're merely an Unofficial Sentai.
We're... the Unofficial Sentai, Akibaranger...?
Our mission is to become super heroes that defend the Earth...
Get our own TV show... and become an official Super Sentai!
Eh, whatever works.
We're back?
This is nyawesome! This whole set-up is amazing!
So, Hakase, who are we gonna fight?
Dunno!
What?! That's stupid!
I know, right?!
That's what we're saying!
Well, I know there's an enemy out there!
I'm not sure about the details, but...
There's no telling when or where you might run into them.
If you run into any trouble out in the city, let me know right away.
Roger!
Okay...
Nyeah!
But trouble in the city is not just gonna land in front of me...
Are you okay, miss?!
Our cafe...
Please help!
Hey! Hey!
Maid in Vampire
It's pretty nyeato to find trouble so soon, huh?
So our enemy's finally shown up?
How do you know?
Get a load of that van.
Replica Real Estate?
That's right.
In Magiranger, the Heavenly Saints and Lords of the Underworld
had pocket dimensions for personal use, which were called Replica Realms.
That cafe... it's connected to the Lords of the Underworld, no doubt about it!
Welcome home, master.
And mistresses.
We are vampires, and intend to bite your necks, so please cooperate.
Please.
Isn't that a health code violation?
Not at all.
Two of you, talking like that... you're really one monster, aren't you?!
Is that some kind of Sentai rule, too?
You can borrow my Nyagiranger DVDs later!
Reveal yourselves, you maid mockeries!
A monster?!
I'm impressed you saw through that.
And I'm glad you finally showed up!
Without enemies to fight, we'd never become official, after all!
Let's go!
Nyeah!
Grand Delusion!
...grand delusion?
Bang!
Banban is my favorite Dekaranger!
I'm Akiba Red!
Uh... I'm Akiba Blue?
Um, I'm Nyellow, uh, Akiba Yellow, but y'know,
I think that at the next Comiket, I might—
Enough! You might look the part, but all you do is talk!
Shut up! Come on guys!
- Right! - Gotcha!
Strike a pose!
Pain is powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Hey, it's like this...
...rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Let's go!
Ready!
Unofficial Sentai... Akibaranger!
...ger?
That's so pretty! Awesome, awesome!
What's this...?
Get back in position!
Unofficial?
You're not really Super Sentai? Just knockoffs?!
We're not knockoffs! We're gonna be official soon!
Anyway, who are you guys?!
Guerrilla Marketing Firm Z...?
Blatantly Evil Guerrilla Marketing Firm B Chief of Urban Redevelopment - Malshina Toranomon, Tokyo
B, in the legal sense! Blatantly Evil Guerrilla Marketing Firm B.
I'm the chief of urban redevelopment.
The name's Malshina.
And I'm her chief clerk, Shibuya Seitakawadachisouhidenagaphid.
What a mouthful!
Get to work! Sacrificial Corporate Drones.
Here I come!
Amazing! I'm landing all my moves perfectly!
Don't let your guard down, Blue!
We might have dealt with the mooks, but Shibuya Seitakawadachisouhidenagaphid won't be that easy!
Sure won't!
Bring it on!
Let's get him!
Right!
Finisher! Moe Magnum!
Here it comes!
You're already using your finisher?! What cowards!
Was that unfair?
That was just as nyawesome as I hoped!
No, don't worry about it, Blue.
Look, can you stop calling me that? I have a name.
Don't be stupid! After you transform, your color is your name!
That's one of Super Sentai's basic tropes!
Although, after Fiveman, they stopped for awhile...
Enough with the trivia!
He's gonnya attack!
Blue! Yellow!
What are you doing?! Put me down!
Smash, smash, smash!
Smash, smash, smash?!
Oh, no!
Are you okay?
I guess I should finish you off...
Is there nothing we can do?!
I guess it's already over!
You, uh, you can take it from here...
Shibuya... uh... aphid, I guess?
She said it.
She said what I was waiting for!
What?! What did she say?!
Listen carefully!
Whenever one of the enemy commanders in Super Sentai says something like, "You can take it from here!"
It always, without fail, triggers the flag for the monster of the week's defeat!
Really?!
Let's go! Blue, Yellow!
Nyeah!
We haven't gotten any stronger... but now we're winning!
Only nyerds care about!
That's right! The very concept of consistent power levels...
... in Super Sentai, it doesn't exist!!
Are you done yet?
Finisher! Moe Magnum!
Here it comes!
Forgive me, chief!
Wait, what now?
I guess that's done and over.
No, not yet!
Although it looks like we beat him, he's actually going to return as a giant!
No way! Why?!
It's one of Super Sentai's tropes.
We have to beat him again with our giant robot.
We don't have one.
Then what do we do when he becomes a giant?!
What nyow?
Over there!
Up there, right?!
It nyever ends...
These bad guys are subverting all the tropes.
Jerks!
Stupid jerks!
Look, the bad guys are gyone!
Thank you so much! Our restaurant's back to normal.
That's a relief.
I'll come by again later.
Good work! Especially considering it was your first time.
What an awesome fight!
I guess my delivery job really keeps me in shape!
Nah, that had nothing to do with it.
Why not?
You don't need muscles in a delusion.
Delusion?!
Yeah, a delusion!
Our fight... was just a delusion?
Yup! Especially the enemies.
It was an amazing delusion, though! More than I had hoped for!
What's that even mean?!
What the hell is going on?!
To be continued
Me no mae de tokuten ga
Just shooting B-roll footage
Owarei desu tte koketari
And at the very end I slip and fall
Gokai onnaji
It's just another day at work

I stay in character, but I'm smiling bitterly

Still, even if it sucks,

maybe it'll make someone happy?
Itakutemo That’s alright!
Even if it hurts, that's alright!

In my dreams, everything's going to be just fine

It's okay now, that's alright!

And tomorrow the same wind will blow
Kaze ga fuku no sa shabadaba
through Akiba like it always does, shabadaba!
It seems that Guerrilla Marketing monsters don't turn into giants!
Is it because they're unofficial?
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger is a work of fiction.
Despite that, next time we're still going to introduce a giant robot!
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger is a work of fiction.
