Our delusions have grown so strong,
we could dream up Yumeria's deceased mother.
Our pain really is powerful!
Viva delusion!
There's no telling what we'll pull off next!
We're going to play roulette one more time.
If I win, I get you.
I told you... I don't like men.
This... you can't!
News!
Big news!
Oh, hey Itokutora.
Just "Ikura" is fine.
Oh cool, anyway, Hakase!
What the hell?!
Everything's gotten all weird!
No, no.
Yumeria managed to get a table at a certain BL doujinshi market, and she's got writer's block.
We're just modeling for her, so she can come up with ideas.
I have decided on the title.
"Fall For Me".
Like the Jetman episode?
Anyway, look at this!
The Toei studio in Tokyo?!
To:
Shirakura Shinichiro
That's the mecca of official Sentai!
Yeah!
I'm headed there to make a delivery!
Mitsuki, you come with me.
Why should I?
Because you'll learn something just from breathing the same air the official heroes do!
Like what?
Cease your prattling and depart.
Servants are a distraction.
Yumeria, you—
Silence!
I cannot join you.
To answer my calling to corrupt this world, I...
must seek diversion.
Diversion!
What's 'diversion' mean?
It's French for... a diversion.
Yumeria! Don't have any weird delusions until we're out of range!
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?
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
Ki! Ki! Take your keyboard and
Ba! Ba! Bakusui yodare ga tareteta
Ba! Ba! Bash into it as you crash asleep and drool everywhere!
A! A! Anchi no resu
A! A! Already mad about hateful posts
Ki! Ki! Ki ni shisugite
Ki! Ki! Keeping me so tense that
Ba! Ba! Bangohan nodo wo tooranai
Ba! Ba! It feels like I'm gonna barf soon!
Hitokara tokuson matsuri da zekkyou
We may sing toku karaoke alone, but we can really belt it out!
Cho oma (www)
Wait, you-LOL
Yamero (www) tenin (www)
Stop-LOL-here comes the staff-LOL
Ima wa totsuru na (wwww)
Don't come in here now! LOLOL
Akibaranger!
Hikounin Sentai
The Unofficial Sentai!
Episode 6
Take Flight, Forefather! The Painful Trap at the Delusional Film Set
Come forth, demons!
Give me your wisdom.
What would be the most moe story?
Episode 6
Take Flight, Forefather! The Painful Trap at the Delusional Film Set
Uncouth street urchins. But what is this mischief?
Dammit! I came all the way down from Sapporo, but the tickets were sold out.
I came all the way from Kagoshima.
Gentlemen, I happen to have the tickets you're looking for.
You might find the price a bit steep, but...
200,000, but it includes backstage passes.
Backstage passes?!
Of course, this includes an opportunity to meet the star...
Backstage passes for an idol show, complete with meet-and-greet?
Inconceivable!
Alright, as soon as we pass this light we'll be out of range...
Sayaka!
Oh, Mr. Ponpoko.
Your car is, um...
Oh, it's just...
Oh, a promotional deal with a new anime?
Oh, like the pizza chains are always doing. It must be rough.
Uh, yeah, that's basically it...
Um, I know it's probably out of your way, but could you give me a lift back to my office?
My heel broke.
Here are the tickets you wanted.
Wait, what is this?
These tickets are for a show in Shimokitazawa!
Don't worry about that!
Akihabara is a pigsty anyway!
Time for you to abandon this rathole and visit a real stage, in Shimokitazawa!
Oh, my!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
This is fine. Thank you so much for the help!
Thanks again.
Moegi entered the Grand Delusion!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
So you've come, my servants.
Wait, where is this? I've never seen this place before.
This isn't a typical Sentai setting?
Welcome to one of Shimokitazawa's independent theaters!
You three darlings will join me in a small production tonight.
What?!
This guy sounds pretty "grey zone" to me.
Shush!
Let's see if your delusions can keep up with my imagination!
Take this! Ash trays, go!
We can't fight all cramped up like this! Let's escape!
I don't think so! Stage walls!
My stealth stage hands!
This way!
What is this?
You're inside of a prison cell, silly!
What?! I can't see anything, but it's solid like a cell wall!
If the script says something's on stage, then it's there even if you don't have a prop for it.
Precisely!
They're acting like those boxes are heavy!
You wretches! What illusion is this?
Weren't you listening? I told you, you're on my stage!
The stage is a world of imagination!
Act II: The Battlefield!
What is he babbling about?!
You okay, Blue?!
He just said it was a battlefield, you fools.
Of course there'd be landmines.
You three don't know anything about theater!
Lights!
Change positions!
W-what? Where is he?!
Behind us!
Attacking under the cover of darkness...
We won't be able to touch him!
Honestly!
If you can't find your spike, darkness or no, then you've a failed as an actor!
Don't call us...
We'll call you!
I can't believe we lost!
He was really tough...
But at least it was over fast.
We can head back toward the official hero mecca!
Wait a minute!
I... I'm not happy about losing to Shimokitazawaascidiacea.
I don't know if I wanna go now.
I'll just head home.
This is why you have to go!
You'll learn the true meaning of Sentai battle once you're there!
The true meaning of battle?
That was a totally smooth excuse I just made!
Here I come, official heroes!
Here we are! The holiest of holy grounds, the Toei Tokyo Studio!
Good day sir.
I'm Akagi, with Sasaki Ponpoko Delivery.
I'm Aoyagi, an intern.
We're here to make a delivery to the studio, quickly and safely!
Thank you!
Alright, delivery's done.
Now's where it gets tricky.

The true meaning of battle!
These are...
Greek pillars!
Greek Pillars
They're used for fantasy settings in Sentai!
Greek Pillars
I never thought I'd get to see them in person!
Greek Pillars
How are these Greek?
Greek Pillars
Idiot!
Greek Pillars
The blood, sweat, and tears of official Sentai have—
This!
This building was in Episode 6 of Gekiranger
when Gekitoja fought Moriya, the Gecko Fist of the Predatory School!
Stomp, stomp, I'm Mr. Kusaka!
Mitsuki, take a picture, quick!
Hurry, hurry!
What about the true meaning of battle?
Oomori Hill!
It's the Oomori Hill!
In Timeranger Episode 39... this was where Ayase fell down in the rain!
Right now... I am Ayase!
Ayase!
That stuff about battle was a lie!
Ayase!
Wait, wait, wait!
Just a bit longer!
I'm sure the official heroes will get back from shooting on location soon, and then—
Who is he? That swordplay...
That's Mr. Niibori.
Mr. Niibori?
Up through Red Hawk here...
He was the suit actor for every Sentai Red for thirteen years,
called "the legendary hyper suit actor".
He sought perfection in both action and acting,
to bring a sense of intensity and realism to the show's martial arts.
Intensity and realism in martial arts?
That's right.
Excuse me!
It's nice to meet you, I'm Aoyagi Mitsuki, and I'm Blue in Akibaranger.
I'm looking for help with martial arts, and I'd be honored if you could instruct me!
Akiba?
They're already working on next year's rangers?
I have to say, even the girls inside the suits are quite cute nowadays.
No fair, Mitsuki! You're hogging all the fun!
I'm sorry I doubted you!
This is what you brought me here for, isn't it? The true meaning of battle...
I'll make sure I learn it!
Yeah, sure.
First, do your roll call.
Uh, I've kind of just been calling it out...
No good!
When you call out your character's name, your pose draws upon all of your most fundamental skills.
If you slack during that, the fight won't come together smoothly!
I see...
I'm sorry! I'll try again, with that in mind!
"Grey! Your chest is so hot!"
"Your lips, too!"
"Not the lips! Start with my earlobe!"
"Understood. Then that will be my zone..."
"My... Grey Zone."
Oh my! I'm gonna have to get on that.
Grey Zone?!
You don't have enough flow... you can't hit your moves right unless you're flowing!
And so, Mr. Niibori began giving Mitsuki a crash course in action scenes.
I somehow found myself unable to join in...
When you're leading in with a "whoosh", be sure to finish it with a "bang!"
Whoosh, bang, got it?
Whoosh, bang, right!
Once the helmet's on, you'll barely be able to see.
Picture it in your head. Fight with your mind's eye!
Right!
What's he mean, "once the helmet's on"?
Never mind, I have to use my mind's eye!
Uh, Mr. Niibori, could you sign this—
Go!
Good.
Next!
Right!
I'm so sorry!
I'm sorry!
Well done.
Here again?
This will be the stage of your final performance... an elementary school classroom!
I've saved the most important thing for last.
Yes, sir!
Always be aware of where the camera is.
Always be aware of where the camera is!
In the world of film, whatever the camera captures is reality.
That's the most important thing!
Always be aware of the camera...
Excuse me!
Hello?
Moegi entered the Grand Delusion again, and she's in trouble!
I understand. I'll be right there.
Could you autograph my jacket, sir?
Now's not the time for that!
I'm going to put what you taught me to the test!
Thank you so much!
Autograph?
This is it for you! Bye now!
What?
Yellow, you alright?
You won't get her!
Your little production's over, Guerilla Marketing Sub-section Chief!
Curse you!
Akiba...
Blue!
Uh, I liked Niibori best as Red Hawk, Akiba Red!
I will make the corrupt world of mortals even more rotten, taking in my right hand—
Pain is power!
Unofficial Sentai!
Akibaranger!
Hi, everyone.
Time to send you all,
Off
To
Heaven!
We're not gonna lose as actors twice in a row!
Now it's our turn!
Ready?
Nostalgic Classroom
What the?!
Huh?
W-what the heck?
And... action!
What are they trying to pull?
Honestly!
Teacher!
We have to pee...
Shimokitazawa!
We saw your grades, man!
Those are mine!
Why do you have them?!
Give that back!
Stop it! Leave me alone!
I don't care if you have to pee!
Stay back!
I don't know where the bathroom is!
Oh, enough!
Ready?
What is going on?
You're on the Toei Delusional Studio lot...
Toei Delusional Studio
It can't be!
That doesn't make sense given where we started!
Dumbass!
With the official heroes, weirdness happens all the time during filming...
It's an explosion of limitless delusion!
Look around you.
Normally, it's the bad guy who torments us...
But today it's the opposite!
Our delusions will...
Overwhelm you!
Shimokitazawa! Grey zone grey zone!
- Come get some, grey zone.
Move it move it move it!
Ow!
Where am I?
What is that?

What is this?! Who are you?!
Signs: Light and Darkness
Imbecile... who else would it be?
You people!
No way! There's no way you could have stripped that quickly!
It's that kind of weirdness...
That makes film so awesome!
I won't let you get away with it!
Red Hawk!
He came!
Now where am I?!
Fishnets?
Miniskirts?
And a suit?
Sailor Suit and Machine Gun
Sailor Suit and Fishnets and Suit and Machine Gun The Secret Plot to Drench Akihabara In Blood
Huh?
Ecstasy.
This is impossible!
A warehouse?
Yume, you ready to roll?
Say the word!
Alright, let's get this started.
You're the director?!
Scene 81, the warehouse fight...
And... Action!
You'll be fighting me.
Time to put everything Mr. Niibori taught me to use!
Whoosh, bang!
Whoosh, whoosh, bang!
Oh come on!
Whoosh!
Bang!
Whoosh, bang!
Whooosh, bang!
Where did you even come from?!
Bang!
No way! You didn't even touch me!
In the world of film, what the camera captures is reality.
Always be aware of the camera! That's the most important thing!
Roll it back!
Whoosh, whoosh...
Bang!
That's a load of crap!
WhooshwhooshBANG!
Who cares about film!
Ash trays, go!
Oh crap!
In darkness, the ability to memorize the stage layout is going to be the clincher!
Exactly! Now go to hell, Akiba Blue!
Lights!
Fight with your mind's eye.
Isn't that right, Mr. Niibori?
Fine! I'm going back to Shimokitazawa then!
Seeya!
You coward!
Red Hawk!
Me?
Hurry up, get going!
Move, servant.
This is the penultimate power of Jetman?
No!
I should have paid for an express ticket!
Eat this!
He got him.
I did great!
No...
It was me... and Mr. Niibori.
Yumeria!
My servants!
We did it!
I've made up my mind.
I'm going to do my best so we can become official.
A bolt from the blue...
Has hell frozen over?
If we become official, I can learn lots of new moves!
Now we're all united!
The Akibarangers are going to be even more powerful now!
We'll see about that.
Malshina!
I see you're shocked...
No way... are we still in the delusion?
I just wanted to drop by.
We'll meet again...
Take me to Kameari.
Wait!
Malsh—
Dammit, Akagi!
Tatsuko!
You think you can just take a delivery out without being assigned it first?
Wrong!
This is reality...
What's going on?
I do not know.
But it seems that now, the game's afoot...
To be continued
Afoot.
