You want me to be the Red of a new Sentai?!
I, Akagi Nobuo, along with Aoyagi Mitsuki and Moegi Yumeria
transform into the Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger,
and hope to one day become one of the official Super Sentai that defend the Earth!
...at least, that's how I thought it was going to go.
But once the battle was over, Dr. Hiroyo Hakase grinned and told us this:
It was an amazing delusion, though! More than I had hoped for!
What the hell is going on?!
A tiny paradise amidst a sea of skyscrapers: Akihabara.
There we find three warriors who believe that pain is power,
and who fight battles that exist entirely in their heads.
They are...
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?

The Activation Of A Bizarrely Decorated Vehicle Summons a Full Blast of Red Delusion
Episode 2
The Activation Of A Bizarrely Decorated Vehicle Summons a Full Blast of Red Delusion
This is what was going on while you three were fighting inside of your delusion.
We were fighting right in the street?!
Nyow that's surreal...
Nothing happens for a bit, so I'm going to fast forward.
The police...
Yeah, in reality, the police made a raid and arrested the people trying to shut down the cafe.
So there was never an enemy...
After we got so excited... and I was so happy...
But how did we all share the same delusion?
When you three sense evil and enter a delusion to battle it,
Moe Moe Z-Cune broadcasts your thoughts to each other.
Hence... Grand... Delusion!
Stop it, I've heard enough!
If it's all just a delusion, then what's the point of fighting enemies?!
What should a Red do, at a time like this?
Sentai Police Dekaranger
No way...
It can't be!
Akaza... Banban!
Can I get another bowl?
Nyand have another ready to go...
You want four bowls?! Isn't two enough?
Um...
I'm glad you remember the "Yellow loves curry" schtick, but you don't have to force it.
Remember, only two out of all 36 ever did it!
Say something sooner nyext time!!
Oi, me bleedin' cat ears!
Your voice just changed!
Here you go.
Jolly good, cheers!
You were just acting?
You could show your elders a little respect, y'know.
You're older than me?!
Twenty-three nyears old!
Then that "jolly good" thing was how you normally act?
Well, maybe it was, but it might nyot be!
I'm just making sure, but you two are going to stay on board, right?
Right!
I mean, in martial arts it's common to work out how a fight would go in your head...
So if we can do a super realistic version of that, I figure it'll do me good.
And I had a ton of fun, so I'm sticking nyaround, too!
That's so cute! Where did you get it?!
...ma'am?
I want one!
You've got nya good eye!
If you want Aoi-tan merchandise, the absolute best place in Japan to get it is the Otamix in Akihabara!
Oh yeah, gotta go to Otamix.
Banban!
You're...
Akiba Red, Akagi Nobuo!
Everyone in Super Sentai is counting on you!
You are the advent of a new great new hero in our legacy!
You're our shining star!
Let me fight at your side!
Let me call you "partner"!
Partner?!
I could... I could never!
No... you'd be as good a partner as Houji... maybe better!
Banban!
Then let me ask you...
Please teach me!
Uh... sorry, but that's kinda...
See, I'm back in costume today for a Power Rangers SPD event?
I'm not Ban, I'm just Sainei Ryuuji. Sorry!
But... thanks for still being a fan. I appreciate it.
Bye.
We're nyalmost at Otamix!
You're sure it's down here?
We're going to score an early release of Aoi-tan's official art collection!
I wonder what the special bonus they're offering is...
Isn't the official art collection not out for a while?
Not for another week...
Maybe it's a bootleg?
As for the special bonus, we've got a specially made bubble sheet!
Just apply the sheet, and a regular illustration becomes a fantasy right out of your dreams!
What the hell?! How could they do that to poor Aoi!
But best of all, when you peel the sheet off, you'll really get to see everything!
Z-Cune!
Wait, what the hell?!
What just happened?! This is crazy!
You're not getting away!
Run!
What should we do? It's nyot exactly dangerous...
Well... this isn't real, right?
Nyeah! Let's just go to Otamix!
Hold it right there!
Aren't you supposed to be the heroes?
Get them... uh...
Oh, hang on a sec...
Shibuya Uroleuconpicridis.
Wait, you're not Shibuya Uroleuconnigrotuberculatum?
You moron! We're totally different!
How?!
There's one big difference between us, and I'm not telling!
Prepare to be tormented by curiosity and frustration!
I wanted to mix it up with that lady, anyway.
Time to chyange!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
Alright...
Bubble Censor Beam!
Look out!
What are you doing, sub-section chief?!
Don't expect to get paid this month!
I'm docking your salary!
No! Chief!!
What a terrible attack!
We nyeed to call Red!
Yeah! I mean, who cares if some old guy ends up like that?
Yeah?
Akagi? You need to enter the Grand Delusion right away! The others are in trouble!
What kind of trouble?
This Shibuya Something-something-cridis showed up,
and he looks exactly like Shibuya Yadda-yadda-latum from before!
It's just a delusion, right?
Akagi!
If they're having fun, just let them keeping deluding themselves.
That's what he said!
What's his problem?! What a spineless old fart!
You better not think the two of you can beat me yourselves.
I'm going to carry out the project that my fellow chiefs began!
Come on, Corporate Drones!
What do you mean, project?
Get them!
Akiba Pylon!
Akiba Rod!
Spill it! What's your scheme?!
Before you die, I'll tell you!
Before we die?
We're going to turn Akihabara... into Shibuya!
What?!
Otaku like you are disgusting, obnoxious, and lame!
We're going to destroy otaku and make Akihabara into a second Shibuya,
so this part of the city is less embarrassing!
Otaku culture is nyappreciated throughout the world, it's one of Japan's national treasures!
Your culture is doomed, anyway, due to its own lack of creativity!
Come on, come on!
Hey! Let go!
Are you two really Sentai heroes?
Get up!
Let's get him!
Right!
- Let go! - Stop it!
Let me down!
Go to hell!
What happened?
I shut down the delusion.
But this is an emergency last resort...
If I do it too much, you'll slowly lose the ability to delude yourselves,
and you might not be able to take part in Grand Delusions anymore.
I guess it was a bit much for just two of you.
You didn't even notice when the enemy triggered his flag for defeat.
Flag for defeat?
That's right.
Whenever an enemy says something like, "Before you die, I'll tell you this," they're done for.
Before you die, I'll tell you!
Then we...
We're the first superheroes who really almost died after the bad guy said "Before you die, I'll tell you this"?!
This won't do.
There has to be something...
This stupid thing...
Deka Red?
You want to... shake my hand?
Seedling?
The sun?
It's bright... oh, the light!
The light!
I... seed... the light?
I need to see the light?
That can't be.
This is probably just a delusion, too.
That was...
The same drop kick he used to snap Houji out of it, from Dekaranger?
Deka Red...
Thank you!
I... I've seen the light!
Doctor!
I did it! Deka Red says he was waiting for me!
Deka Red?! He said that, really?!
And it wasn't a delusion? How'd that happen?
It doesn't matter how it happened!
It's just proves how close you are to becoming official.
So, Akagi, keep deluding yourself!
Every time you delude yourself, you grow a little stronger.
And every time you delude yourself, you learn to be a little kinder.
I understand. I'm gonna be super-deluded!
Manager, Akihabara's in trouble!
Pirated DVDs may mean Akihabara is in trouble!
Well, to explain it with this visual aid...
Akihabara is...
Being bought up by underworld businesses.
Akihabara's in trouble!
Let's go!
- OK! - Right!
Wait!
You can borrow a special machine of mine.
A special machine!
It's in the garage, covered by a tarp.
You got it!
Welcome back.
Well, Manager Hakase, how was my acting?
Good enough.
Here. It's not much, but...
You got that right.
An itasha with an Aoi-tan design!
Doc, you're amazing!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
Machine Itasha, launching!
Go!
Where did you get that name?
It just came to me! We're headed to the scene at mach speed!
Uh... this is mach speed?
What the hell is this?!
It's not supposed to work like this!
Maybe the bad guys are running interference?!
What now? Leave the car behind and run?
Wait!
Deka Base could transform into a robot, so...
This itasha might also...
I like the sound of that! Give it a shot!
Here, use this!
Nice! The official robots didn't have a CD player!
It's so nyawesome!
Unofficial transformation!
Nyall you've got to do is try!
It's amazing!
The transforming robot I've always dreamed of!
Yellow!
Nyeah!
Here we go...
Itasha Robo, Ready!
Hey, what are you doing?!
Ow!
This is a legacy of the Science Sentai, Dynaman!
Come on, let's go!
Nyeah!
Hey, wait!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
Wait... I don't have a license.
Then move nyover!
Alright, move out!
Let's go!
Wait!
We can't just stomp over these cars, right?
Oh, right...
Alright, we should be fine now!
That's far enough, Blatantly Evil Guerrilla Marketing Firm B!
What's with the robot?
Does being unofficial mean you have to look stupid, too?
You're up, sub-section chief.
I forgot to give you my card, didn't I?
Take it!
Nyot gonna happen!
Curse you! Quit dancing around!
Alright... now it's our turn!
Awesome!
What's going on?!
You're leaving?!
You three just aren't deluded enough for a cool robot battle yet...
Unofficial as ever, I see!
What a bunch of clowns!
This fight's just getting started, Shibuya Uroleuconpicridis!
Big bro's my favorite Hurricaneger!
Akiba Red!
And that makes me Akiba Blue, I guess.
Ummmm...
So, about Comiket, I'm thinking of doing an original costume, nyand...
Pain is power!
Ready?
Unofficial Sentai, Akibaranger!
Hot!
Get them, Corporate Drones!
Normal Attack, Gun Blast!
- Nyeah! - OK!
I don't think so!
Time for my Shibuya Uroleu—
Get on with it!
—Cridis Beam!
You're officially... pathetic!
This is so frustrating!
Are we done for?
We can't be!
I...
I have to fulfill the hopes of the official heroes!
Come on, man.
Deka Red... you came?
Let's get him, partner!
Right!
The official deal?!
Deka Red?!
That... can't be...
Alright!
Yeah!
D-Magnum!
You can handle the rest with your real partners.
Try using this penultimate power!
Deka Red...
Alright!
Time for the Deka Cuffs, Shibuya Uroleuconpicridis!
Is it really okay for a bunch of unofficial freaks to get official powers?!
It sure is.
Yup!
Here we go!
Finisher, Moe Magnum!
Here it comes!
I wanted to become a real chief!
Man, all this smoke...
I guess we won.
Yeah!
We did it!
We really did it!
I'm happy...
I'm so very happy...
I got to be partners with my hero, Deka Red...
I am so glad I'm Akiba Red!
I don't really care about this Sentai stuff, but,
maybe I'll get to meet Aoi...
Distributors of pirate DVD for popular anime arrested
Not a chance.
2D's gotta stay 2D!
Nyand that takes care of that!
I can't say it's impossible.
Not if Deka Red really showed up...
To be continued
What's going on?
I'm Aoyagi Mitsuki.
The other day some friends of mine invited me to a karate class with them.
I didn't really want to go,
but I didn't want to seem unsociable, so I ended up going,
and because I tend to get into things too much, I got kind of serious about it,
and before I knew it, everyone was afraid of me.
Later, they told me I really went nuts...
But I was just trying to be sociable!
That was all.
Itakutemo That’s alright!
Even if it hurts, that's alright!
Itsuka sekai wa yume no naka
In my dreams, everything's going to be just fine
Daijoubu That’s alright!
It's okay now, that's alright!
Umaku itteru yume no naka
Everything's just fine now, in my dreams
Ashita wa Akiba no
And tomorrow the same wind will blow
Kaze ga fuku no sa shabadaba
through Akiba like it always does, shabadaba!
When a madame butterfly attacks his beloved Sayaka,
Red is left in fear of GreenrivermanonmanB.L.aggrotop.
