Hoping to increase our ability to delude ourselves, we headed into battle stinking drunk.
But we were so drunk, our delusions ran wild and we ended up in big trouble!
Thankfully, our underage and therefore sober teammate Mitsuki helped us salvage the situation.
But after that...
Well, starting tomorrow, I won't be taking part in this.
Good luck.
Mitsukisis, don't you like us anymore?!
What the heck, I thought after studying Boukenger you'd be more into it than ever!
Aoyagi... what's going on?
I'm going to a martial arts training camp tomorrow.
I'll be in Izu for three days.
I wanna stay focused, so I don't intend on transforming while I'm there.
Oh, so you're not going to leave Akibaranger!
So, I'd appreciate it if you two could stay out of trouble during the three days I'm gone!
Leave it to us, I guess...
So, you're telling us not to have any delusions?
You want us to give up one of an otaku's few joys,
while you go off to have a bunch of real life fun?!
You monster! You devil!
You must have been miserable in high school if a training camp is your idea of "real life fun".
You don't need to worry about getting caught up in a delusion while you're at camp, actually.
The range of the delusion amplification signal is pretty limited...
Oh, did I forget to mention that?
The system needs you to be inside of Akihabara to function properly.
So you can only transform around here.
So we're just... a bunch of local heroes?
Becoming official seems harder than ever.
But that's a relief! We can keep on being deluded, as usual.
No!
Uh, no, I mean... see...
I'd be worried, right? If it was just the two of you.
That's right, those two did run into a lot of trouble when their delusions ran wild.
That's just because you got us drunk!
Teehee, bonk!
Bonk?
Anyway, starting tomorrow, for three days, don't enter the grand delusion!
No delusions!
Alright, fine!
I mean, a three-man Sentai with only two members hasn't been a thing since Sun Vulcan,
when Owashi went to NASA and Hiba hadn't shown up yet...
I'll do my best not to have any delusions.
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!

Well, that just means we have to go back to our lives like they were before Akibaranger, right?

Episode 4
A Forbidden Delusion Brings With It The Pain of Blue Corruption
And unlike the other Super Sentai, if we don't have delusions our enemies won't show up,
so we won't have to transform and fight them!
Piece of cake!
Azuma Yatsude Signing In This Building
While Mitsukisis is out of town, I'll indulge a little bit!
Here I come, Ms. Azuma!
Oh my God, seriously?
No way!
What the?
Is there some kind of event going on?
An old, suspicious looking building...

NO DELUSIONS ALLOWED
No! What am I remembering?!
Just calm down and look closely!
Cross-dressing Cafe
Cute Face
Cross-dressing Cafe
Cute Face
See, it's just a Cross-Dressing Cafe! A totally normal part of Akihabara!
Phew, I almost started having delusions about trouble going on.
Thank you so much.
Thank you!
Next person, please...
This top reminds me of Master Kabukicho...
Now that was one super-aggressive guy~
I hope we get another—
No delusions!
No!
NO DELUSIONS ALLOWED
I'm not thinking about anything! Anything! Anyth—
Stop it! I can't look at that kind of stuff right now!
Thanks!
It's gone?!
The Maskman Deluxe Chogokin Great Five for 100,800 yen is gone!
Someone bought it...
I was going to buy it with my savings once the rush of new Aoi-tan merchandise was over.
Sayaka!
Mr. Ponpoko? On the job?
Oh, hello there.
Running into her on the street?! This has gotta be the second flag on the romance route!
Saya... Uh, Ms. Honiden, do you work on Saturdays?
No, I'm actually...
See, our office was robbed!
What?!
The police called me down for some help, so we can go over what's missing.
This is a case! A big case!
I'll have to...
NO DELUSIONS ALLOWED
No!
Mr. Ponpoko?
Well, it might be worrying...
But it'll work out, now that the police are on the case.
If you'll excuse me...
That was a close one! I almost started having a delusion again!
Knowing nothing is going to happen today...
It just sucks my energy, it's so dull.
It'd be nice if something happened...
Any special events are going to be crawling with traps like that.
I'm going to have to keep my rottenness in check for the next three days!
What?!
Beware of this suspicious man!
H-Hey, I'll give you some candy, so...
...do you mind coming with me for a sec?
He's been known to approach young boys
NO DELUSIONS ALLOWED
This is bad!
I started coming up with a backstory for this whole situation!
But, if I can't delude myself, I have to accept the reality of what's happening!
He's not one of the Akibaranger's enemies!
He's just a...
Pervert!
Thank you very much.
I'm exhausted, and for nothing...
Maybe I'll get a kebab and at least—
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger Episode 34: The Bride's Sandy Hell!!
The Sandspraying Hag transforms food into sand in an attempt to entice one of the Yokai Army's big bosses, Daimaou, into marriage.
NO DELUSIONS ALLOWED
Food doesn't just turn into sand, alright?! Dammit!
This is bad! The more I try to hold back, the more I find myself getting delusional!
Dammit, Mitsuki, where do you get off telling otaku not to have delusions?!
Normal people can go die in a fire!
Yume—
Big bro Nobu!
OTAMIX
Cosplay Department
Thank you for coming with me!
I wanted to change as soon as possible, but I was scared to go by myself...
And I keep starting to have delusions!
When I was walking around town, I kept thinking that there was a sinister cause behind every little thing...
It's rough being a Sentai otaku!
I see.
Then why don't you help pick out my new costume?
I bet it's harder to start falling into a delusion when you're interacting with someone than it is by yourself!
That makes sense.
God bless you.
Yumeria can not lie.
Grandma, why are your shoes so big?
Why? How come?
Why, why?
Something's still not working...
This is...
I live for Master Rio's love,
and I fight for his affection, as a love warrior!
The School of the Predatory Fist, Chameleon Style,
Mele!
I don't have time to toy with you weaklings.
Alright, alright, she makes a good bad girl!
What other lady villain costumes are here?!
This is...
Shizuka of the Wind!
Wait a sec...
Since this is blue...
GoGo Sentai Boukenger
Night Warriors Dark Shadow
SHIZUKA OF THE WIND
Pretty good!
Mitsuki's not bad at cosplay herself!
But since she's so strict...
Blastosaur Sentai Abaranger
Evil Life Form Evolien Apostle of Destruction
JEANNE
Jeanne!
Not bad at all!
Now throw Lije in there!
Blastosaur Sentai Abaranger
Evil Life Form Evolien Apostle of Dawn
LIJE
Good luck!
While we're at it, throw in Lijewel.
Blastosaur Sentai Abaranger
Evil Life Form Evolien Apostle of Dawn
LIJEWEL
Magnificent~!
Hakase!
Wait, considering her position, she should be Swan...
Sentai Police Dekaranger
Space Police Earth Branch
SHIRATORI SWAN
Doggie!
She's not exactly graceful like that, though...
Hey!
The graceful one would be...
Sayaka!
Come on!
Hundred-beast Sentai Gaoranger
Priestess
TETOM
I sense an Org!
So good!
The purity look is perfect on her!
She looks so good as a priestess type!
And since she's got the same name, let's check this one out!
Blitzkrieg Sentai Changeman
Earth Defense Force Change Mermaid
NAGISA SAYAKA
Sayakas are awesome!
I knew that getup would look amazing on her!
How about something slightly more... mature?
Starbeast Sentai Gingaman
Barbarn Space Pirates Helmswoman
SHELINDA
I'm sorry! I got carried away!
I guess something like this would, uh, probably suit Malshina better!
Don't look!
Now that's an evil bad guy for you! A perfect fit!
Let's see Kegalesia too! And Wendinu!
Ninja Wind Sentai Hurricanger
Space Ninja Corps Jakanja Fourth Spear
WENDINU
Rampant Machine Administration Minister of Water Pollution
KEGALESIA
Master Nobu?
What about the next costume?
Yeah!
What am I thinking?!
If I'm going to be a wholesome part of an official Sentai then I need to drop the pervy thoughts now!
Get outta me, worldly desires! And don't come back!
Allow me to help.
A Guerilla Marketer? When'd you show up?!
Master Nobu, watch out!
Impurities
What are we doing here?
I think I'm going to go home and meditate.
What the?
I have purified their filthy desires.
It is my duty to bring forth mental purity.
This Akihabara, which is caked in the mire of lust... must be purified.
Oh crap... I had no idea that my perverted delusions would cause something like this!
It's perfectly fine. This is just another delusion.
We can deal with this without fighting.
It seems we were too late.
I guess we don't have a choice!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
Finally! Now that's more like it!
You two just couldn't help yourselves, huh?
Well, you're going to have to handle it now!
Roger!
Akibaranger is nothing to fear with a member gone.
I will not allow you to mock Master Nobuo!
Get them!
Now, you're all that's left, weakling!
I am no weakling!
I am Monzen-Nakachobalaenicepsrex.
Balaeniceps rex? That's a bird.
I thought all you sub-section chiefs were insects.
Nobody ever said we were!
It doesn't matter! Let's go!
What a mess...
Damn! We had to run into a monster like this while Mitsuki was out of town...
Since the enemy has the power to erase worldly desires...
He's probably going to overwhelm you, since desire is what fuels your delusions.
Since you can't take him head on, just keep your eyes open for a comeback flag.
That's it? You're useless.
In official Sentai, a situation like this means the missing member shows up for the save...
But can we really count on Mitsuki?!
Oh no, Master Nobu! At this rate you may die!
Don't jinx us!
Don't you remember what happened in Bioman Episode 10, "Goodbye, Yellow"?
Wait a minute!
Sometimes in official Sentai, characters only show up after having transformed already!
Even if we can't get Mitsuki, maybe we can get Blue to show up!
Allow me to grant that wish.
Mistress Mitsuki?
No way... did I really just summon her after she had already transformed?
Amazing, Master Nobu!
Incorporating such a meta observation... your delusionary power is magnificent!
Mistress Mitsuki, what are you doing?!
I'm sick of looking at your faces. Die.
Is this... a brainwashing episode?!
Mistress Mitsuki is being brainwashed? Oh no...
I'm sorry... my hatred of normal people may have had a subconscious effect on the delusion!
Anyway, we have to snap her out of it!
I think not!
Ow!
Master Nobu! I'll deal with him!
Alright, take care of it!
I know plenty of ways to snap someone out of brainwashing!
Alright, just try and beat me!
How stupid are you?
Okay, how about this one!
You have to remember, Mitsuki! The day we first met!
We're both fans of Aoi-tan... we made a real connection!
And yesterday we just promised to fight together, as a team!
Do you remember?!
I just acted like it!
This has certainly gotten strange...
But if Aoyagi is in Izu...
You wretch! I'll fight you, now!
I get it! This is the one where a friend's tears break the control!
Please come back, Mitsuki!
Wait.
The helmet's in the way of the tears...
Moron!
Yellow!
If it's come to this...
It's because you were so cute!
You pervert!
Now, hang on...
That was from Boukenger Task 14, when Masumi was trying to reach the brainwashed Natsuki!
Mistress Mitsuki, I thought you had watched Boukenger!
Thank you for your guidance, sir...
Any last words?
Then, Akiba Blue... finish off your friends.
Roger that!
I don't think so!
What?!
There's two of Mistress Mitsuki?!
What's going on?
I get it!
This isn't a brainwashing episode...
It's an imposter Ranger episode!
Imposter Ranger?
Yeah! Next it's gonna be like... "Dammit, which one is real?!"
It's me!
No, I'm the real one!
Happens all the time!
Malshina?!
Aw, come on, already?
Well if the real one's here, then what's the point of keeping the act going?
Monzen-Nakachobalaenicepsrex, take care of the rest.
As you wish.
Man, what the hell...
I already figured it'd be like, "The one with the bear on her panties is the real Blue!"
Like the kind of solution from an episode Arakawa wrote...
Oh, come on. Is it really bad that the problem's been solved already?
Then, you're the real...
Aoyagi Mitsuki.
It's a good thing I called you just in case, right, Aoyagi?
Sure...
Thank you. You did a good job of getting here from Izu!
I love you too, Mistress Mitsuki!
Okay, that's fine, let's just beat this guy!
Yeah!
I wouldn't mind letting Leh Näfel walk all over me!
Akiba Red!
Akiba Blue!
So, derivative works are when you watch an anime, and you're overcome with a delusion—
Pain is power!
Dummydummydummydummydummy!
Ready!
Unofficial Sentai!
Akibaranger!
One of these this time?
It's not always explosions, y'know.
Whether two or three, I shall eliminate you regardless!
Let's go!
You people... you're so much stronger now!
Well, we've already triggered the victory flag, so...
A missing team member shows up in the nick of time...
When that happens, you know the comeback is coming!
Finisher, Moe Magnum!
Here it comes!
Praise Buddha...!
Blessings to you...
She might be tsundere...
But she's passionate, and a good gal.
Thank you, Mistress Mitsuki.
What are you doing?
Well, Mitsuki ditched her training camp to help us three days ago, right?
We wanted to get her something to show our thanks.
What about this, Nyobuo?
But they only had these at that event from three days ago...
There's nyo better reason!
Its super rare merch that Mitsukinyan can't possibly have already!
Let's scyan the auctions for it!
Hey.
Mitsukinyan!
Sorry about the other day...
That's fine.
Hiroyo...
Here.
A present from Izu.
Oh, why thank you so much.
Mitsukinyan...
That keychain...
You!
Where were you three days ago, again?!
Well, uh, yesterday and the day before I was really at Izu!
Maybe it was less a training camp and more an intramural match...
I mean, y'know, it's not every day you win a chance to go to an event like that one...
You told us not to have any delusions and you were lying the whole time?!
I'm sorry!
Get back here!
To be continued
It's Akagi Nobuo!
I always make a point to score the robot toys for any new Sentai!
That said, I ran into an old classmate from elementary school the other day!
The guy was married, and had three kids!
I made small talk about how it must be rough to be a dad,
but after looking closely, the birthday present he had for his kid was the same toy robot I had just bought!
Even I felt pretty bad about that.
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

And tomorrow the same wind will blow
