At last, General Pain has finally appeared within the Delusion World!
And he just so happened to be that nerdy guy
who was singing "Galactic Honey" at the karaoke place!
Who is this guy? How'd he enter the Delusion World?
It's mystery after mystery as things start to heat up!
I can't believe I goofed up so badly!
That nerdy guy from the karaoke place
was doing a cosplay similar to General Kar of the Jashinka Clan from Dynaman!
But why does that matter?
A painfully nerdy old guy cosplaying as General Kar!
That should've been enough for me to realize he was General Pain!
So you just wasted 21.07 seconds worrying about something irrelevant?
This officer has to agree.
What's important here is...
That General Pain found a way into the Delusion World from reality.
We'll have to arrest General Pain and make him confess!
It's done!
Hey, Malshina! My newest monsterkin is ready!
Here it comes!
Delusimport!
Turning an unrelenting grudge into power...
I am the Fist Beast of Time, Mutou Mushiten!
Mushiten! ...Mushiten...!
Hey. What's this supposed to be?
This is just the last one in an Arabian get-up.
Fool! That's a Fist Beast!
They were the masters of the Violent Beast School and the most deadly—
Well, whatever.
I'll get to it later... thank you.
What do you mean, "Thank you," you foolish wench?!
Oh, well.
I suppose I'll go stretch my legs while I wait for something to happen.

EPISODE 8
DELUSIONAL BITOH
But, I'm afraid I can't give out personal details like his name or address.
Could you make an exception?
Unfortunately, no.
You're looking for that guy in the white makeup?
Yes! Do you know him?
I saw a guy in white makeup eating spicy Bali-style down at the curry place.
Oh, the white makeup guy who's always ordering spicy Bali-style!
You guys have rough timing! You just missed him!
I'll have a plate of shrimp scallop cheese curry!
Hey!
I saw him drive off in a van with a mark like this on it.
That's the Baros LOL mark!
There it is!
Here you go! Please come by!
He's not in it...
Hey, excuse me, did you see the guy who was in that van?
I did!
He was a cranky-looking older guy, with a baseball cap, and a jacket with a cherry on it.
He must've taken his makeup off.
Did you see where he went?
I think I heard him say he was going to Suidobashi over his phone.
Suidobashi?!
Now, everyone, if you challenge me...
and manage to win, I'll give you the heart of the guy you like!
Romantic Hearts
Where have I seen those hearts before...?
It's the same as those hearts that Hadezkin had when she was disguised!
You just go, fist, fist, beast!
Fist, fist, beast!
You know fist, fist, beast, right?
Beast!
Hey!
Fist, fist, beast!
Don't you mean step, step, jump, and not fist, fist, beast?
You mean the Fist Beasts who were the important bad guys on Gekiranger?
Luna!
You're with Baros LOL, aren't you!
A gymnast's transformation!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
There you are, Akibarangers.
This place will be your gr—
General Pain?
I was just in the bath!
Bath?
"This place will be your grave"—
that's one of the three major defeat flags a villain can trigger!
How was I supposed to know that?
And why are you even here?!
Because you—
Refuse to understand— the situation!
I don't need your dorky trivia as long as I win, right?
Go on and get them, Mutou Mushiten.
You should address a Fist Beast with more respe—
Understood.
Secret Violent Beast Technique! Legacy of evil, from the year of '85!
What?!
Now, let Bulbados feast upon your blood!
Bulbados...
And that swordsmanship...
Those belong to Adjutant Buba from the Great Gozma Star League!
Legacy of evil, from the year of '88!
Now he's doing Doctor Ashura's moves from the Armed Intellectual Forces!
Cut Assha!
Not bad at all, Mutou Mushiten.
But I'll finish them off.
Dark Delusion!
Bang~!
Iwashimizu Booty Attack!
Hey! Don't just stand there, help me!
I've lost interest... farewell.
Wait, Mutou Mushiten!
This is your chance to finish them.
That woman is ruining my focus.
Excuse me?
Then you can do with her as you please!
Eavesdropping...
Hey, listen, you!
Then... Legacy of evil, from the year of '87!
Don't burn her!
You'll ruin her aesthetic qualities!
If only Delu-Knight were here...
You will behave quietly... within here!
That's the same coffin of ice that Princess Ial was frozen away in!
Uh, no, it's just a acryllic box...
- I'll take this.
What?!
I've turned her into a living figure, so that we might continue to appreciate her.
Whenever a boss takes down an officer, it's a surefire defeat flag.
That means the evil organization is on the verge of going down!
Down!
Fools!
My true lieutenant is not Malshina, but Mutou Mushiten.
The arrival of a new enemy commander always means trouble for the heroes!
What?!
Now, the history of New Dimensional Mental Correction Subterranean Neo Empire Baros LOL will truly begin!
I will defeat all the official Sentai teams, and reign as king over this world!
Legacy of evil, from the year of '84!
Otaku particles detected...
Exterminate! Exterminate!
Exterminate!
Get back here, everyone!
What was that?!
What kind of heroes run as soon as the going gets tough?!
Disgusting!
I never thought we'd get beaten by a copycat who uses the moves of old bad guys.
It's so frustrating!
No... that wasn't some simple copy.
His moves were perfect... like it was the real deal doing them.
I guess that proves how powerfully deluded General Pain is.
Our best bet on solving this is getting our hands on General Pain in reality, but...
We almost had him...
But then the trail went cold.
Hey!
I think I might...
have a good lead on what to try next!
Everyone's looking at me with such expectation!
Like this? Or more like this?
Here!
Enough already, what's your lead!
Right!
I picked up this coupon that General Pain dropped—
...in the Delusion World.
Sauna Tokyo Dome?
That's why he was headed to Suidobashi! And what he meant about a bath!
Akibaranger 2!
Ow ow ow ow ow, pain.
That is without a doubt, someone wearing a cap and a cherry jacket!
Alright, leave it to me!
Dammit, I can't see his face like this.
My best bet will be when he leaves.
Alright, I can take the heat!
No! Stupid!
Old man!
Hot!
I couldn't take it.
You guys handle the rest.
Then I'll try next!
Now then, are you ready sir?
Yeah. Go as hard as you can.
Sure!
What? Are you going easy on me?
That's so considerate of you.
Ta-da!
Oh yeah, that's the ticket...
He's too much.
I'm sure that he's some kind of bad guy leader! It's the only explanation that makes sense!
Yuko, it's on you.
Welcome.
Hey, I'm in your hands.
You seem particularly tense today.
Allow me to give you the special hard treatment.
That sounds good.
Oh that's good!
Feels great!
I must say, sir, you've got a lot of old scars.
Those were all scars I got in my battles against superheroes.
I like to think of them as marks of honor.
With all the evidence we have now, there's no doubt.
I'll hold him down, so you guys do the rest!
Right!
I've got you now, General Pain!
Ow!
Ow! Stupid! Ow! Stupid!
You're—!
It was a case of mistaken identity!
Please... I beg your forgiveness!
Well, as long as you understand.
Who's he?
This is the great veteran suit actor, Mr. Okamoto!
Oh, you mean Jiro?
No, you stupid ninny!
He's like, ten ranks above Okamoto Jiro!
He's the man known as O-BITOH, Okamoto Yoshinori!
Listen up! This Mr. Okamoto happens to be
responsible for the performances of countless famous villains from the TV series,
as well as filing in for the final bosses during the performances at Sky Theater!
He's been famous since before you two were born!
That's incredible!
He's amazing!
Aw, you're making an old man embarrassed.
So why do you always play bad guys?
Is it because you have a scary face?
You stupid dumb idiot dopey goof!
That's it... in the Delusion World, Buba, Dr. Ashura, and Silva appeared.
They were all characters portrayed by Mr. Okamoto!
Oh, that Mr. Pain guy? He apparently really likes all that stuff.
You know General Pain?!
What were you doing in his van?
Just getting paid.
Th-thank you so much.
- All this? - Yessir.
He paid me pretty well, so I gave him a coupon to the sauna.
He hired you for something?
That whatsitcalled... Moessomething Captan?
Moesomething...?
Cap-tan?
Smooch smooch smooch?
Oh, you mean motion capture!
Okay, so like this...
Right? Okay.
Alright Mr. Okamoto, if you could start with Bio Hunter Silva.
Here I go.
Bio-particles detected.
Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate!
I get it...
Exterminate!
He must've found a way to program Mutou Mushiten with Mr. Okamoto's performance.
That's why he was so...
Will that do?
Good! Soooooo g-g-g-good!
Well, it's a shame we couldn't figure out who General Pain was.
I'm sincerely honored to have gotten to meet you, Mr. Okamoto.
I respect you just as much as Niibori Kazuo!
Oh, Kaz?
I guess I always ended up losing to him.
Is Kaz a cute girl?
You dumb—
Niibori Kazuo is the man inside most of the Reds!
And the bad guy characters Mr. Okamoto played, in the end,
were always defeated by the righteous Reds! Isn't that right?
That's how it should be, too.
If anything, a bad guy who's copied me...
Shouldn't be enjoying himself, if he's giving the heroes trouble.
I...
...have dedicated my life to the art of losing beautifully.
Losing... beautifully?
That's right! Evil must always be powerful!
But in death, it must always be beautiful.
That's how you make the heroes seem even greater.
It's inspiring!
Ah, I guess I'm talking too much...
I'll be heading home now.
Is a gymnast's fist fist beast really not popular?!
There you are, Fist Beast!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
My favorite Gekiranger insert song...
belongs to Geki Chopper!
Akiba Red!
Gekiranger, huh?
I really liked Geki Orange, Robo Tough!
- Orange?
- That's wrong! You've got it—
I'm Akiba Blue!
My next goal is to become a singing, dancing,
cosplaying mistress! Or something along those lines!
Singing and dancing is harder than you're making it sound!
Pain is power!
Ready?
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger!
If you do that, then we'll overlap too much!
- What a pain... - Luna!
Yuko!
So they've come to meet their defeat...
Luna!
Even if you've got a Fist Beast, we won't lose!
- Luna!
Come on!
Right!
Legacy of evil, from the year of '02!
Fifth Spear, Sagain...
Deathblow, Dark Twin Ganryuu Swords!
I'll finish you off with Bogardan!
No matter what your techniques are, I'll take it on!
Super Delusion!
Boom!
Super Akiba Red!
- Glomp!
Then try this...
Legacy of evil, from the year of '85! Adjutant Buba!
Use this, Yellow!
Alright!
Good idea! Yellow!
Another one?!
I dropped it!
Then I'll be Change Dragon!
This is gonna kill the resale value...
Let's go!
That was... the swordsmanship of the vile Niibori Kazuo!
Alright, raise it up!
Right!
What the...?
- This is a lot of work! - Coming through with equipment!
All done...
What are you people doing?!
Here comes the sunset!
Go!
Oh, my shadow! Whoops!
Why...?
This excitement...
That's right!
You didn't just absorb Mr. Okamoto's moves,
but his dedication to losing beautifully!
With this bright red sun at my back...
My blood cries out for a spectacular defeat!
In a situation like this, it's your nature to be defeated in a grand fashion!
Grand fashion!
Impossible!
Don't let him deceive you, Mutou Mushiten!
Camera's running!
Ready... action!
I will become a Niibori Red!
I shall not lose!
Okamoto Yoshinori dwells within me!
It's over!
Official Ceiling
Thank you!
Dairen-Bomber!
Hurricane Ball!
Zyuren Buckler! I get the Zyuren Buckler!
Penultimate Bazooka, ready!
Penultimate Bazooka, fire!
Mutou Mushiten may die, but Okamoto Yoshinori—
That was so much like Okamoto Yoshinori...
I couldn't help but be moved!
But this isn't over! Not even close!
What?
I will return.
Let me hold it, too!
It's kinda heavy.
Whoa, see, I told you!
I see... so he was defeated beautifully.
Now that's what I expect from one of my bad guys.
It was the coolest thing I ever saw.
Right? Right?
Are you sure about these guys, Okamoto?
Aren't otaku kind of... crazy?
Don't worry about it, Seiboy.
It's people like them that cheer for us.
It's Mr. Takaiwa!
Holy crap!
What? What? What?! What?!
Ninja Red, Ginga Red, Mega Blue, and Magi Red!
This is the business card that Pain guy gave me.
I hope it helps.
Thank you so much!
