Stuff from Delusion Space is starting to affect our real world's history,
and suddenly it's causing all kinds of crazy crap!
How and why is all this happening?!
We gotta figure it out before things get any worse!
The enemy seems to be super knowledgeable about Super Sentai monsters,
and keeps sending dangerous new baddies one after another,
but we're not gonna lose!
Then it's as I thought...
Time and time again, my monsterkins are defeated by these unfathomably ridiculous methods!
That the Super Sentai of the Delusion World and the genuine articles would team up...
I had never considered that hideous possibility!
But in spite of that...
These fools, who I've drawn based on Malshina's descriptions...
They're far from the ultimate Sentai team I've dreamed of defeating.
Which means...
There's someone else!
Someone else whose delusions are filled with these so-called Akibarangers!
Who cares?
What?!
More importantly...
What if we had one of the monsters you cooked up
get some work done on your side for a change?
I don't see why not. The possibility is an enticing one.
Isn't it though?
I was actually just putting the finishing touches on the perfect candidate.
Give her a warm greeting.

DELUSIONAL ESPIONAGE
Still, by having delusions start to affect reality...
EPISODE 7
DELUSIONAL ESPIONAGE
What could our enyemies be after?
That's the thing...
They've gotta have some kind of plan or big ambition.
It'd be great if they wanted to take over the world!
Why? Wouldn't that be a bad thing?
But, overcoming overwhelming odds
would help me grow both as a person, and an idol, right?
You've got a one-track mind!
Remember, these guys could cross the Delusion Space and appear in the real world!
Okay everyone!
You'll never find love as otaku!
And that's why...
Otaku
I got some otaku hearts!
What am I doing here?
I need to take life more seriously.
I'm getting a job!
You! You're with Baros LOL, aren't you?!
Exactly!
That mark on her chest is from... uh...
Jankajanka?
It's "Jakanja!"
They're the bad guys from Ninja Wind Sentai Hurricanger!
Precisely. I'm the 10th Spear of the Jakanja Dark Spears...
Hadezkin!
HADEZKIN
The 10th Dark Spear?!
Let's go, guys!
- Right! - Gotcha!
Grah Deusion!
Bang!
You! What's all this crap about the Ten Dark Spears?!
Let me show you.
The Goraiger brothers!
No!
The marks on their chest are Jankajanka ones!
It's Jakanja.
None other.
I am the 8th of the Ten Dark Spears...
Space Ninja, Uranusdo!
URANUSDO
I am the 9th Spear...
Space Ninja, Poseidom!
POSEIDOM
But the Goraigers are Earth ninja,
and they became friends with the Hurricangers eventually, right?
That's why I took these from them.
Justice
It's their justice-loving hearts!
Exactly.
Dammit!
And that's why the Goraigers are now part of the Ten Dark Spears!
Surprised?
You were getting annoying, so I actually did some homework this time.
Their names sound right for the Ten Dark Spears too, right?
I never asked for this, you fool!
I wanted her to debut as an evil Sentai hero!
The Goraigers originally were conceived as the Hurricanger's enemies, the Kagerangers...
New Program
They even appeared as such in the preview for the show that aired while Gaoranger was still running!
※ This is merely General Pain's delusion, do not take it as a fact.
I thought the time had come!
It's time!
At least, I'd hoped we were ready to see such powerful foes...
But the producers' change of heart vexed me so.
To quench my thirst for revenge, I even created their comrade Yellow here.
Well, you heard him.
Roger!
In that case, use your original names.
Right!
Jakan Red, Kabutoraiger!
Jakan Blue, Kuwagaraiger!
Jakan Yellow, Tentoraiger!
We are the force for cosmic righteousness!
Ninja Beetle Sentai, Jakanja!
Oh man, that was a pretty cool roll call!
Guys! Let's do ours too!
Right!
When it comes to ninja, Kakuranger—
Not happening!
Pervert!
Why? Why are you doing this?!
To aid in my father's... General Pain's great ambition!
General Pain's ambition?!
That's right.
To that end, we have been restored to our rightful forms.
That can't be!
After acting so superior for so long... through half a year's worth of episodes...
You finally befriended the Hurricangers!
I won't let this happen!
Space Ninja Art, Final Flash!
Kozkoz! Shut down the delusion!
Right!
Blast you, Malshina!
I told you to hold back until the Hurricangers appeared to save them!
Then they would face the self-proclaimed justice of the Hurricangers in a 3-on-3 battle.
A contest of ninjutsu, which we would win!
Only then, would the first truly evil Sentai team establish its legitimacy!
I explained the whole thing to you!
Did you?
You're just ignoring me because you know I can't get over there!
This continued insubordination...
Wha...what in the world?!
What's going nyon here?!
A week is now... ten days?!
After Saturday comes Uranday, Posday, Hadday... and then Sunday!
It's because the Seven Dark Spears are now the Ten instead.
They were named after the days of the week.
Jakanja's Seven Spears of Darkness + Three<...>
Sahndahl was named after Sunday, Manmaruba was named after Monday,
and Chuuzubo was Tuesday.
But the days were named after gods tied to celestial bodies,
and Malshina went and made three more!
I get it!
So Kuwaga was Uranusdo, after Uranus, which became Uranday.
+ Three Additional Spears Naming Scheme
Poseidom was based on Poseidon, so Posday!
Hadezkin was named after Hades, creating Hadday!
Then that's why there are three new days of the week in reality now?
Amazing! That's really impressive!
Admire it later!
That's right...
This means there's now only 3 weeks in a month,
and that cuts the number of episodes for the official heroes down to 36 per series!
WHAT?!
If we only get 36 episodes... what happens to Dekaranger 37?!
A present to the Secret Base. Director Watanabe Katsuya
That means we'd never get to see "Hard-Boiled License!"
Hard-Boiled License
I can't live like that! I won't let that happen!!
That's right!
Fewer Mondays mean fewer fan events!
Fewer weekend meet-and-greets with fans, too!
I wish those were the only problems this would cause...
Akibaranger 2!
Owowowowow, pain!
Otaku Garbage
Uranday
Uranday is otaku garbage day!
Please dispose of your trash in the morning before the collection time according to the schedule in the right column
Otaku garbage
There's a law now?!
Ministry of Environment
Yes. The Kyoto Protocol was passed to help wipe otaku from the face of the Earth.
Kyoto Protocol - Additional agreement concerning banishment of otaku culture (revision)
We'll now seize and dispose of all your otaku merchandise.
- Go! - Roger!
Move out!
Posday
Posday means no tokusatsu songs!
No tokusatsu songs allowed!
Broadcasting! Bang!
Stretchyman Exercise
【Banned Song】
Stretchyman Exercise
What is this?!
I can't even sing Stretchyman Exercise?!
NO COSPLAY
Hadday
NO COSPLAY
No cosplaying on Hadday!
NO COSPLAY
Should be nice and quiet today.
It's hardly going to help our bottom line, though.
We'd better do something.
Do you think Yuko's going to be okay?!
Nyuh-oh... I feel like someone's watching me!
Cosplay is prohibited.
Guys, I nyeed help!
What's wrong, Yuko?
I'm being chased down by "Cosplay is prohibited" goons!
I don't care what anyone says... curry is best eaten spicy Bali-style.
Who are you people?!
Cosplay is prohibited!
Yuko!
You're the nerdy guy from the karaoke place!
Oh, it's you!
Are those anti-cosplay jerks chasing you, too?
Indeed. But it seems they won't follow us in here.
In official Sentai... this kind of quiet usually means trouble is brewing.
For example, poison gas could go poooosh from those vents!
Pooosh!
Poooosh!
Old man, don't have delusions about dangerous stuff like that!
Yes, indeed. After all, it helps me chase you down with my Space Ninja Art's Smoke Form.
Pooosh!
Baros LOL!
Tentoraiger!
And she's moving exactly as I imagined!
Mister, this is dangerous! Get to safety!
Let's go, guys!
Right!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
Jakanja!
This time, the Akibarangers are gonna win!
The Akibarangers?!
Then it's them... and they use those to enter the Delusion World!
Then if I just become more deluded...!
So you've come to let us finish you off, eh?
We're here to make you two, who we idolize...
Regain your hearts full of justice!
Not happening.
As long as I have their hearts within me, they'll do whatever I say!
That's not true!
The justice-filled hearts that once beat within them are bound to wake up sooner or later!
Hadezkin!
...er, Tentoraiger, get them!
I'll handle Hadezkin, everyone!
- Go get her! - Nyeah!
Hidden Style, Full Moon Slash!
Hidden Style? What's that supposed to be?
Ninja Arts that were created on Earth! You have to remember!
Hidden Style, Triple Slash!
They're the moves nyused by your predecessors!
We are space ninja!
DynaBlack's Art of Leaf Subterfuge, this is!
Ninjaman's Samurai Raging Bomber!
Luna!
What kind of ninja uses a samurai's attack?!
Excellent, now this should work...
The leader of the evil faction appears when the heroes are in danger, and defeats them!
Here we go!
What the—?!
I am... Pain!
Eh, Old man?!
He's so short...
While I appreciate your efforts to show some skin,
you should try to be cute, like Chimera!
Now! My servants!
Use your Space Ninja Arts to obliterate those worms!
General Pain!
You're General Pain?!
Indeed I am!
Get them!
Go to hell!
Space Ninja Arts—
That's enough, Goraigers!
The Hurricangers!
They're finally here!
Excellent!
Now that we're here, you can all relax!
You can let us handle it!
Right!
What a heroic, official appearance!
Cling cling cling...
Alright! Let's get 'em!
Ultra Ninja Art: Shadow Dance!
Dance!
Space Ninja Art: Payback for 2001!
It's no good... regular Earth Ninja Arts can't beat them!
Oh nyeah? Then how about this!
Pardon me...
What the?
A little here and...
Alright!
Perfect!
That's the mark the shamisen guy had, right?
Now he can use the Ninja Arts of the school that unified the universe's ninja!
Thanks, housewife!
Alright! Time for Shurikenger's Thousand Bats technique!
Drool...
Let's use this chance to dig him out!
Oh, nyeah...
Ultra Ninja Arts, Secret Strike! Thousand Bats!
Huh?
As underwhelming as ever, I see.
Now it's our turn!
Come on.... come on.
What were we doing?
That's right, brother! We're supposed to be Goraigers.
Red, Blue, what's wrong with you?!
After seeing them, our memories returned...
Yeah!
Hupsie...
Come on!
That's right...
We were heroes, but had no money for ordinary life... oh, how hard it was!
Oh come on, after all this, that's the climax?
Good job, Blue!
I'm not too sure what I did, but I did it!
Curse you!
If it's come to this, then I will take to the field my—
What is this?! What the—?!
Hey! Hey, Mr. Ushirozawa!
Finally awake, huh?
Here's your package. I'll need your stamp.
Stamp!
Thanks.
I was so close...!
Lady Malshina, what do we do?
Ninja Wind Sentai!
Hurricanger! On stage!
Lightning-Fast Goraiger, on the scene!
My favorite Hurricanger guest is Oka Yuriko!
"Oh, stars above, I can do it on my own!"
Akiba Red!
Hurricanger then... uh...
I really liked the Director's daughter, Onboro!
Akiba Blue!
How could you screw that up?!
Well, I have to say, my sales from the recent doujin event were better than I expected!
So, I was thinking this would be the perfect excuse to buy that—
Pain is power!
Ready?
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger!
That was a little too strong!
What's the deal here? It's eight against two now!
It's unfair to have that kind of numbers advantage!
Should righteous heroes really bully someone like that,
when kids could be watching?
Quit blabbering!
Are you okay...?
You bad guys are five times stronger than us individually, right?
That's just common Sentai sense!
You can handle it from here.
No way! Hey, wait up...
Alright!
Let's follow Sentai's rules and beat them with the power of friendship!
Right!
Yeah. We'll make a show of it!
Right!
Yeah!
Penultimate Power!
Schools, unified!
This is the penultimate power of the Hurricangers...
Go get her, old man!
Finish her nyoff!
Alright!
Hurricane Ball!
I'll be reborn soon enough...!
Unseen by the people, hidden from the world... it's only one foolish girl's—
We got her!
Yeah!
Watch it!
Careful!
Sorry.
- Welcome! - Welcome!
Welcome! Come right on in!
Here you go!
Did you wake up?
I'm fine.
Don't worry... you need your rest.
Your delusions saved us again! Thank you!
Still... after this battle, we know a lot more about the enemy... General Pain.
That's true...
It's like General Pain's true identity... is the ultimate Sentai villain otaku.
That unfortunate accident interrupted things this time.
But from now on, I will be able to enter the Delusion World myself!
Next time... I will make things unfold as I've always imagined them!

Hear the taiko drum...
