After making Malshina into a living action figure,
General Pain has officially revealed himself as the leader of Baros LOL!
The Fist Beast he sent after us was dangerous, but,
a coincidental meeting with Okamoto Yoshinori helped us seize victory,
and on top of that, we now have info on where to find General Pain in reality!
Time for a confrontation in reality!
Just you wait, General Pain!
Mutou Mushiten's defeat gives me no pause at all.
For it was nothing more than a prelude to this next battle.
A city built upon delusion: Akihabara.
Created By
Hatte Saburo
There, three warriors who believed that pain is power
fought battles that existed entirely in their heads.

EPISODE 9
A SECOND DELUSION
EPISODE 9
A SECOND DELUSION
This should be the place.
Ushirozawa Dental Clinic Chief Dental Technician: Ushirozawa Tsuguo
This is it.
Ushirozawa Dental Clinic, chief dental technician...
Ushirozawa Tsuguo?
Tsuguo! Means! General Pain!
So General Pain's really a dentist.
What is this place?
It's so creepy!
No... it's amazing.
I've never seen such an amazing collection of villain stuff before.
Now that's! One! Fine! Collection!
Run for it!
For the Akibaranger Funeral, please head to the basement.
I see you've found me, Akibarangers.
Behold!
Aoi-tan?
Delusimport!
"My body is ready?"
K T K R?
It means "awww yeah!"
But we were just! In! Akihabara!
What's going on here? They didn't even enter the Grand Delusion!
Amazed, are you?
Mr. General Pain?!
Back back back back back!
Welcome to my Delusion World!
Your Delusion World?!
Precisely.
You'll find it to be quite amusing.
Why don't we start with this?
A Shinkenger script?
Act 22 and a half?
And the title is "The Bathing Suit Beauty of Hana Island"?!
I have to read this!
A script that's nothing but blatant fanservice
would never pass from the pen of Shinkenger's main writer, Kobayashi Ya! Su! Ko!
Main Writer Kobayashi Yasuko
That's why I wanna read it!
I'll use this script to heighten my delusions and summon his Lordship!
Wha-what the... my hands are...?!
My body's... moving on its own...!
Such a fitting display!
A mere subtitle sent you into paroxysms of anticipation
that made you summon delusions of bathing suit scenes, and this is the result!
You monster!
What's going on, Hakase?!
The effect on the real world's already begun...!
Our usual customers are all in swimsuits...!
Hey Hakase, look here!
Who'd wanna see that?!
How is such an orthodox design
going to get me anywhere in celebrity bathing suit competitions?!
That's what bothers you?!
We've got no choice!
Grand Delusion!
No way! It won't work! Grand! De! Lusion!
We're not quite through yet...
Go-Onger Grand Prix 33 1/2... Gold Green Wedding?!
Don't read it! If you do...!
Right! I won't!
How's this? You like it there? Ha! N! To!
Go get him, right there, Hi! Ro! To!
Too moe not to read!
Hey, cut it out!
Huh? Now we're...
What is this?!
That's right...
In official Sentai, right after a new character or a movie,
there'll be episodes where brides are being targeted,
so one of the heroines has to put on a wedding dress as bait!
It's one of the most common stock episode plots!
I'm afraid I'm already attached.
But what about Gold x Green...?
No! I'm not kissing anyone unless they're an entertainer from a rival talent agency!
My lips are moving on their own!
Hakase! We need! Delusion E! Jec! Tion!
Got it!
Delusion Eject!
What's happening? Why aren't we back in reality?!
That can't be! Why?!
I warned you...
My delusions are supreme in this realm!
You cannot activate your Grand Delusion, nor can you escape! All is as I will it here!
You jerk! That's playing dirty!
You still seem lively enough...
Now, try this!
Hyper-Electric Bioman 46.5, "Run Through the Southern Island"?
Huh?
I challenge you to a marathon!
Who among you has confidence in their legs?!
Okay! I'll do it!
The goal is a whopping 42.195m away from the start!
So short!
Don't do it, Luna! There's obviously more to it than this!
Cease your prattling!
Luna!
See you later!
Circle around the halfway point!
Luna!
You okay?
Congratulations on your victory...
You have completed the course and won the marathon.
The Honolulu Marathon...
Yay!
This is something that could go on my resume, right?
The Honolulu Marathon... why would you bring that up?
For this!
Come forth! Mecha Gigan Coelacanth Canth!
That is awesome!
It's cheating to bring out a giant robot without having a monster to fight first!
It is cheating...
But the Mecha Gigans from Bioman did that all the time!
And he's created such a plausible Buchi-Mecha design!
Buchi-Mecha?
It refers to machines that are designed by Izubuchi Yutaka!
He worked on Dynaman, Bioman, and Changeman...
His unique design sense was honed in the world of anime,
and it's no understatement to say they breathed new life into the world of Super Sentai!
Run for it!
Yuko!
We need you, Itasha!
Watch out!
The Itasha showed up, even though we're in his delusion!
And we're transformed, finally!
We are!
Because I allowed it to be so.
I don't know what's going on here,
but I'm psyched to get to fight a Buchi-Mecha!
Right!
Change, Itasha Robo!
Itasha Robo!
Cha! N! Ge!
Kozkoz, could you look up Bioman episode 46?
Roger.
Guys?
Do you see the power of my pulse laser cannon?!
We won't lose!
Tsun-Dere Swords!
Delusion Particle Slash!
Slash!
Tsun! Dere!
This! Can't! Be Happening!
They're broken...
You fools!
Did you seriously think you could beat me with your first robot, so close to the Honolulu Marathon?!
Everyone, bad news!
Bioman 46 aired right in the middle of December!
What?!
What does that matter...?
Allow me to explain...
My plan was to have you run through the Sentai calendar milestones
for Summer, Fall, and Winter, and you have passed them all!
Now, in this Delusion World, it is the time of year when a Sentai team is at their weakest...
The time of the Honolulu Marathon!
You mean at the beginning of December, two weeks before Christmas!
In order to make sure the new robot can win a dazzling victory around Christmas,
a deadly new enemy will show up and completely throttle the official heroes!
Once you people, who have consistently aided the official heroes in this realm, are gone...
I will have nothing to fear, even from them!
The monsterkins and robots of my creation...
Will star in a show in which they obliterate the Sentai fools!
And now to crush you!
Coelacanth Canth, Fossilization Bomber!
Itasha!
So they've escaped the battle, have they...
Very well. But there is no escaping my Delusion World...
Akibaranger 2!
Owowowow, pain.
Yuko, hurry!
What do we do?
We can't escape this Delusion World...
And we can't counter General Pain's strategy!
At this rate—
I won't be able to become a popular idol!
Seriously?!
Well I mean, I like you two a lot and I really enjoy being in Akibaranger...
But it's just a stepping stone for my career!
Buy a second itasha?! No way!
There's a bunch of payments left on the first one!
That's the only thing that can set us up with a second robot!
Let's see...
Dozens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
Would a rental car work...?
Where are you going to find a nerdy rental car?!
Malshina!
You escaped?
Akibaranger detected.
Wol Wogaro!
- Old man! - You alright?
Run for it, run for it, double time!
For now, let's hide there!
Calm down! She's just walking so we should be fine.
Oh god, oh god, oh god!
Run for it, old man!
Dammit!
Attack! Destroy them, Malshina!
Malshina!
Why! Are you still listening! To General Pain—
It doesn't matter, she's too strong!
This is super bad!
That Malshina was freed with the spell of reincarnation...
Thus, she is now as strong and powerful as Wolzard.
What?!
The same magic that was used by the strongest enemy of the Magirangers, N-Ma the Absolute?!
N-Ma!
I'm sure! We can win! Against that!
Yeah, no.
Malshina! Attack!
Sir!
Take this!
Here! Akiba Rods!
Try this, Akiba Javelin!
Like this?
No!
Akiba Pylon!
Akiba Drill!
Spin spin spin spin spin spin spin...
We'll have to try that, old man!
Pen!
Pen...?
Ultimate Bazooka!
Don't split it so weirdly!
We're not going to lose!
Not with the official heroes counting on us!
Very good...
Official heroes, lend us your Penultimate Powers!
Official Ceiling
Dairen Bomber!
Hurricane Ball!
Zyuren Buckler!
Now, Malshina!
Wol Wolzara!
Pen!
Ultimate powers are gone.
- Seriously, it's one friggin' word! - Look! Over there! What?! Is?! That?!
They're starting to take form!
Long.
Yaiba, the Dark Blade.
Vancuria.
The Evil Ambition Trio has descended.
The only official heroes in my universe...
Are the commanders of the evil organizations throughout history!
Unbelievable!
So now there's an evil Penultimate Power, too?!
Now face defeat at the hands of the power that you summoned!
So he used Malshina to wear us down,
so he could summon the power of the official villains?
That's terrible! Right?
Dark Penultimate Cannon, fire!
Well done, Malshina!
Now, return.
Sir!
It's no good... can't... move.
Now finish them, Coelacanth Canth!
We're... done for...
At this rate... we're gonna be flattened like Zydos from Dairanger...
To those of you who were going to become my fans...
All thirty million of you... I'm so sorry.
It's so frustrating! That I! Can't take it...!
But...
Don't give up!
- Hakase? - Hakase?
I bought a new itasha for you all!
...for you all! (For you all!)
...for you all...!
- Seriously?! - Really?
I can hear it... the sound of tires gripping the ground as it blazes along the road!
Here we go! Here we go! Itasha #2! Here we go! Here we go! Itasha #2!
...it's tiny.
Don't say that! It was all I could afford!
Like the light of a firefly... minuscule.
You fools... I figured that was the best you could do.
This is bad!
Change! Itasha #2!
What are you so surprised about? This is our second robot, right?
Change! Itasha #2!
Change! Itasha...#2!
I think Luna might be right.
Right.
Even for the official heroes, sometimes their second robot can be a bit shrimpy compared to the first.
But if that's the case, he isn't Itasha #2!
I'm sure it's...
Change! Itasha Boy!
Itasha Boy!
TITAN BOY
TETRA BOY
TACKLE BOY
LINER BOY
It's transforming!
Boy!
It flew!
It's got powers the original didn't!
Go for it, go for it, Boy! Go for it, go for it, Boy!
From a blade catch...
To a spinning toss!
That's incredible!
It's so agile! And powerful!
Go for it, go for it, Boy! Go for it, go for it, Boy!
Impossible! How could that tiny little thing...?!
Allow me to explain!
A new robot showing up, in and of itself, is an extremely potent victory flag!
Boy!
Yeah!
One giant swing, and...
Get 'im!
Spinning boy!
Around and around.... go!
Stop that! Get down here!
Alright!
I'll remember this, Akibarangers!
Good work, everyone!
I should be able to eject you from the delusion now.
Delusion Ejection System, switch on!
What a relief! Where should I put this?
Itasha Boy
It burns...
So hot!
Aw yeah!
Yes, oh, yes!
Hey.
Hey... mister?
What do you think happened to Mr. General?
You're feeling a bit better, then?
That's great.
TO BE CONTINUED
Hot! Whoa, hot! Hot! Hot! Whoa, hot!

With overwhelming power!
