We thought Luna was back in action,
but then we found out she was just being paid by Hakase,
which was quite a shock to us!
And that was when Luna's delusions turned the Zyurangers into the Powerful Rangers!
But our passionate love for Sentai, and desire to change them back,
managed to touch Luna's heart, meaning that the all-new Akibarangers are back in action!
This time, we're ready for anything!
There's always a line at this place...
Good boys and girls shouldn't be picky, or I'll Sanaelate you!
What manner of creature are you?
I'm the fairy, Yuru Sanae!
And what's with that odd face?
You think that kind of thing is excusable?
Um, what do you—
First of all, I never appreciated this cutesy never-ending mascot boom.
Not only that, but your costume doesn't have an ounce of love in it!
This shoddy construction... it's unforgivable!
Wait, stop it! Let go!
Take that off!
Ta-da!
That's the Zuban Aoi design from the new movie!
That's really well put together Z!
It's flat-out amazing!
It's tastylicious!
Even the big time idol Choco-tan thinks it's great!
Where'd you get it?
I had a friend of a friend whip it up!
It's a real life version of the one I use in the Delusion World!
Could you... hold it less pervertedly?
That's kind of creepy, for a hero...
I don't see what the appeal of rock solid artificial boobs are Z!
Hello!
Good timing!
I know this is sudden, but I have an announcement!
I've decided who's going to be the fourth member of Akibaranger!
Fourth member?!
Sentai teams usually get new members at some point, right?
Well, that's been the case most of the time, for the last 20 years...
So our fourth member will be—
Ta-da!
Nagakawa Choco!
Not only is she beloved by all, and a pro level artist,
but her blog entries and idol performances—
are absolutely first-class Z-Z-Z-Z-Z!
I know, right?!
That's why we should ask Choco-tan to be Akiba Pink!
But y'know, she's really successful as an idol...
She probably doesn't have the time to join in on our delusions.
Anyway, come on Luna!
We're gonna teach you about all the hot spots in Akiba!
Right!
A city built upon delusion: Akihabara.

EPISODE 6
DELUSIONAL CUTIES
Who would have thought... the girl in that costume...
EPISODE 6
DELUSIONAL CUTIES
was a... martial artist!
Curse you...!
Just recently, a friend of a friend had requested a character like this...
It seems like I'm in luck!
Well? Are you beginning to understand the depth of Sentai?
Yes!
I especially thought that Ohranger's "A Direct Hit with Flatulence!" subtitle was really remarkable!
Episode 36
A Direct Hit with Flatulence!!
It's even better when you hear Tanaka Nobuo say it!
That's not really the important part Z!
You're not being picky, are you? Are you?
Are you?
"Stop being picky, and win a Mega Galaxy Game Watch!"?
Sounds kinda like a scam, huh?
What is this? I don't want it!
That costume is so lame!
Weirdo!
If you won't stop being picky, then turn into what you don't like!
I hate peppers!
No carrots!
Third Grade Arithmetic
I hate math!
Third Grade Arithmetic
It's Baros LOL Z!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
When it comes to Abaranger's best episodes,
my favorite is Urasawa's episode 10, the one with the mushroom haircuts!
Akiba Red!
Abaranger...?
In that case... uh...
I was amazed when Hama showed up in anime form!
I'm Akiba Blue!
Well, I'm currently alllll burnt out from the recent doujin sales event—
- Old man, let's keep it moving! - Good point!
Pain is power!
Ready?!
Unofficial Sentai, Akibaranger!
And since that worked, let's make—
- Zs! - Z!
That was amazing!
Have some tea!
Go on.
What's up with her, Z?!
You're supposed to be our enemy, where's all the intensity?!
- Sit right on down! - Thanks.
Here you go!
Oh, excuse us, thanks for the tea...
That bug on your chest...!
There hasn't been one of those since Jetman ended 21 years ago!
Right!
I'm a Dimension Beast for the new century!
CutieChara Dimension!
Now honey, what would you like?
Dinner? A bath?
- Uh, well...
Or maybe you'd like me to clean your ears...?
Um, well I could rest my head on your knees so you could—
Stop that! What kind of weird attack is this?!
Aw!
It's not a weird attack!
You can't let her run over you just because she's cute!
Bad guys have to get beaten!
You got that right Z!
Yeah, what they said!
Come on, show your true form!
You're a bad guy, so you're bound to have a hideous true face like O.O. Batton or Denbe!
I do not! Quit picking on me!
RUMBLE
BOOM
I'm so sorry!
It was my mistake!
Thank you!
Here's a present!
- A bomb?! - Let's run for it Z!
It won't come off!
And it won't stop!
Well, she's not gonna get to us Z!
Right!
Cutie cutie cutie me~
Yuko, go for it!
Here I come Z!
Ow!
That's really dangerous!
Look out!
Blue! Yellow!
Dammit, you little—!
Oh no! Don't be mad!
It's no good! She's too cute!
I can't take it!
...what's going on here?
Red's completely helpless and getting beaten up by that little thing.
I see...
I see that my creation is relevant to Akiba Red's interests...
You see, while monsters like this appear far too cute at first, they usually make things easier for the heroes,
by revealing a sinister face that justifies the heroes' decision to destroy it.
But with that weakness removed...
She will be able to overwhelm those virtuous fools!
Well, in that case, finish them off, CutieChara Dimension!
Okay!
Cutie Thunder!
What?
Who's that...?
I megalolz in the face of evil's boasts!
My righteous heart is justilicious!
That voice! That speech! It can't be!
It's Choco-tan!
Huhsies?
Choco-tan!
Wow, how amazing!
Our delusions must have summoned Ms. Nagakawa herself!
Sure seems like it!
But... she could've appeared normally in a delusion... so what's with that mask?
It must've been because I thought she would never join us,
so my mind is holding her back!
Heyifications!
Just watch me, Akibarangers!
The kitty-katty of love's gonna pulverfy this priss!
Time to finish you!
Hyper Hella Whirl Spin Attack!
Stop!
Nobuo!
You're wide open!
Ms. Choco-tan! What happened to you?!
We're pulling out for now, CutieChara Dimension!
Right!
That's right, even though Choco-tan doesn't mind tapeworms,
I remember her saying that she hated okra!
This is so mega-embarrassing!
I'm gonna go bury my head in the saaaaand!
It's my fault... this all happened to Choco-tan because of me!
Everyone! Check Choco-tan's blog, now!
Did something happen?
Old man, look!
Choco-tan's blog
Too-too-roo! You'll love my Lunchtime Assault!
This can't be...!
Choco-tan...!
Hey everyone, it's me, Choco-tan! Too-too-roo!!
I'm totes psyched to have you all cheering for me!
Choco-tan...!
Time to blow this meal sky high!
It's my fault... now Choco-tan's...!
Wh-what is this?!
Why has Nagakawa Choco turned into one of my characters?!
Malshina!
How should I know?
Who is Nagakawa Choco, anyway?
Man! I'm in the middle of my skin treatment!
Get out of my face, already!
This can't... what's the meaning of this?!
Hakase...
I guess the events within the Delusion Space have affected reality again.
But the effects seem too big this time Z!
If only we could have beaten CutieChara Dimension...!
I'm sorry...
This is all my fault.
What's wrong? You seemed like a totally different person.
You're right...
I... I...
I totally have a fetish for super smooth shiny robotic girls!
Akibaranger 2!
Owowowowow, pain.
I...
I totally have a fetish for super smooth shiny robotic girls!
Z?!
It all started when I was in kindergarten...
May 21st 1988 Saturday at 18:13
Alright!
Colon! What are you doing here?
What's going on here?
She's so cute...
It was episode 13 of Superbeast Sentai Liveman...
After seeing "The Burning Steel, Colon!"...
Colon's cuteness made me into a man!
July 30th 1988 Saturday at 18:07
I completely fell in love with her when she wore that costume
in episode 23, "Life Put at Stake in 0.1 Seconds"...
So cute...
Ever since then, when I saw rebroadcasts with Peebo, Mag,
or even the Flower Kunoichi in their masked costumes, and Multiwa...
They make my heart flutter and I can't help it!
Then you like Aoi because she's smooth, shiny, and robotic?
He's got it really bad...
I can't go on like this!
Guys! Help me train!
Smooth... and shiny!
Well? Cute, right?
Definitely cute, but...
I'm amazed you can bring yourself to say that.
Hey! Who do you think I'm doing this for?!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
Come on! Now attack me!
Why exactly were you able to do that so easily?!
Well... I mean, it's still your face, Hakase.
Calm down! Calm down, Z!
I'm no good...
I'm sorry guys!
What are we going to do?
CutieChara Dimension might look like all cute,
but she's strong enough that we can't beat her by ourselves!
Without the old man, we'll never...
I agree Z.
That's it...
That's it! That'll work!
That should work!
I'm pathetic...
I'm supposed to love Super Sentai more than anyone...
But I can't even overcome CutieChara Dimension's smooth, shiny cuteness...
Yeah?
Akagi! Yuko and the others have entered the Grand Delusion!
You need to join them!
But... I...
It's okay! You have to trust me!
I can make sure you win!
Huh?
Where's honey?
The two of us are enough to handle you Z!
I get it!
Reddiekins is completely useless against Cutesy's cuteness!
Right?
Yes but...
We'll never admit it!
Yeah!
Then, why don't us girls...
Have lots of fun!
Luna!
Get me down!
I guess I should finish up quick today!
Hold it!
Alright.
I'm not sure I can win, but if Hakase is, then I'm damn well gonna try!
CutieChara Dimension!
This time... we'll beat you!
No!
You shouldn't look away just because you're embarrassed!
Take a good look at me!
W-w-w-wait a second!
You're open!
Stop! No!
You're the one who's got their guard down Z!
No!
Stop it!
Aren't you heroes?!
Think about how dangerous it could be if kids imitated this attack!
Come on.
Old man, you can fight now, right?
Yeah, that oughta do it!
I'll be fine!
Alright... let's all
go for it!
- Z! - Right!
Incinerate!
Sparkle!
Stop it!
Return!
You're kidding right?!
What a good ball you make!
Our big plan failed Z!
Rented Out
Then... it's time for our last resort.
Whenever you're ready!
Right, right.
You guys are so weak!
Weeeeak.
Dammit!
I'm going to be defeated by this cute little...?
This adorable little...
Get off!
You can try to look away, but it won't help!
Good boys get a slapping!
After falling into the Dimension Beast CutieChara Dimension's nefarious trap,
the Akibarangers found themselves in grave danger!
That's... the voice of official narrator, Tanaka Nobuo!
Narrator Tanaka Nobuo
But, Akiba Red, Akagi Nobuo will not lose.
Not with the support of Hakase and his other friends.
The Tanaka Nobuo narration I've always dreamed of... and it's all for me!
I'm burning up! I'm on fire!
Stand tall, Akiba Red!
Open your mind's eye!
My mind's eye...?
That's it!
I dunno what's going on but...
You can't beat my cuteness!
Super Delusion!
Boom!
Glomp.
How can you look at me normally?
Alright, bring it on, CutieChara Dimension!
He missed...?
Over there, then!
A feint?!
This is...
Boom!
Then that means...
Combine!
Glompmoe Bang-Boom!
What the...?
It really worked!
- Amazing Z! - Go!
My finisher... Glompmoe Prominence!
B-B-B-B-BOOM!
W-why...?
I'm still as cute as before...!
Peel peel peel peel...
I snuck this on with Tanaka Nobuo's narration as my clue!
Old man!
Where did you hide that...?
Braced for spectacular failure, I throw myself into a crimson-!
- Alright! - Bye bye!
- Z! - Bye bye!
Thank you, guys! And...
Thank you so much, Mr. Tanaka.
Tanaka...?
- Who's Mr. Tanaka? - Amazing Z!
- Mr. Tanaka— - Let me borrow that Z!
- Quit pulling! - Where's this Mr. Tanaka?
- Excellent work. - Thank you.
It's not much, but here...
Thank you!
It's been a pleasure.
If you'll excuse me. Thanks again.
Thank you so much, again!
Th-this is—?!
Hey!
Your cutesy character got beat!
What?!
I see...
Then the Delusion World is having an effect on reality!
Now this is interesting...!
It may lead to the realization of my ultimate dream!
Then the first thing to do... is take the steps to prepare for what I had once given up on!
TO BE CONTINUED
Their courage is for our dreams...
That furious explosion is for your sake...
