SUPER MALSHINA SERIES
Malshina took over the 7:30 AM Sunday morning time slot on TV Asahi,
Disaster Empress
Malshina
before she revealed something even more shocking to us!
We're apparently all characters in a show called Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger,
and were toyed with by the show's creator, Hatte Saburo, as part of a retool!
Malshina... we're gonna beat you!
Well, in that case...

Starting a battle with your combined weapon
EPISODE 12
DELUSION APOSTLE
would normally be an ironclad defeat flag for the heroes...
But don't expect me to let you use that to your advantage!
This sensation...!
Boing!
Malshina Butt Attack!
That's my attack—!
Whoa!
We've never really talked like this before, have we?
Death Flag Active
How can she do so much damage with nyan attack like that?!
That's... the power of a comeback flag, right?
Old man!
It's okay...
I just need... a little rest and I'll... be better.
Nobunyan!
What was that for?!
I'm not letting you trigger a surefire death flag like that!
Dammit! It's no good!
Join with me and we'll pray!
A prayer for this world, which glitters like an emerald!
What brought this on, Hakase?
Look toward the distant galaxy and pray! I'm sure it'll summon a miracle!
I wannya believe her!
The faithful might be saved!
Let's do it together!
Nyeah!
- Oh, God, if you can grant me just one wish... - Hey, wait...
That's not a flag! That's not anything!
I beg of nyou!
Why are there letters of light in the sky?!
The prayers of Earth reached the stars!
It's the advent of a righteous giant!
Then... is this our new, fourth teammate?!
Hello Mr. 4!
What's your name?
The proud mane of justice, which flew through the cosmos...
Prism Ace!
Prism Ace?
My Terran friends! Now that I have arrived, everything will be alright!
You dumbass!
This world still works the way I want!
Dumbass!
Have a taste of my full power—
It wasn't supposed...
So, the Super Sentai series should be back to normal now, right?
Yeah... this is kind of underwhelming, though.
Thank you, Prism Ace!
Thank you for the help!
You can shrink back down to normal size now!
He ran nyoff...
He was kind of strange for a Sentai character, huh?
Looks like you made it.
That might explain why I wasn't killed...
But I think... I might be in real trouble this time.
Without your help...
I think I'm...
Hakase!
What's this?!
Well, at least it's not a cemetery anymore.
L-look at that!
Even Aoi-tan...
Welcome home, big brother!
What happened to you, Hakase?! What's with the getup?
Oh, I'm so sorry! Papa—
I mean, Master is out right now, so I'm the only one here!
Uh... excuse me... aren't you Hakase Hiroyo—?
Yeah!
I'm the assistant manager for the maid cafe Little Sister Headquarters, Hakase Hiroyo!
You're the Akibarangers, right?
This is a present from me!
And that takes care of that!
What the...?
Why are we here?
Oh no!
That scorpion's locked down our triggers!
Nyow we can't enter the Grand Delusion!
Are you guys okay?!
What is this? What's happened, Kozkoz?
I don't know all the details, but...
Don't say anything, Kozkoz.
I thought there'd be other side-effects, with the way things have been going so far,
and I was right.
"A new hero appears?"
Who's this?!
This looks like that fourth member, right?
Why is he blacked out?
This is called "80% blackout."
It's a trick they use when they want to promote a new hero,
but without revealing the full design.
Hey, hang on.
This fall, every Sunday at 7:30 AM on TV Asahi!
Every Sunday at 7:30 AM on Asahi?!
What is this?!
It looks like...
Goodbye Super Sentai! Inheriting a Shining Legacy
Mr. HurricaneRed / Mr. Ryuuranger Mr. Tyrannoranger / Mr. Akared / Hiroyo
What the heck?!
Did Toei stop making Super Sentai so they could try something new?!
What's Hakase doing there?! Nyand someone's little sister?
So Hakase wasn't shedded out?
Shedded
Shaded out!
Shaded
Shedded

Chaino Productions? And it's a foreign production company that formed recently?
Then Toei lost the Sunday myorning timeslot?!
What in the world is going on?! I don't understand!
Allow me to explain.
General Pain?!
And... Malshina?
Akibaranger 2!
Ow ow ow ow ow, pain.
So you were revived, General Pain.
Not exactly!
The person inside the old man's body... it isn't General Pain.
I am speaking with you through this man's brain.
What?!
Then who are you?!
The person who is credited first during your opening sequence.
You mean... Hatte Saburo?!
Precisely.
Akagi Nobuo... your theory is correct.
This is the work of those who have long coveted Asahi's Sunday morning time slot...
Chaino Productions.
Mr. Hatte?
They saw Hatte's hospitalization as their chance and sent a spy into the hospital.
They basically had the same idea that I did!
And that spy became aware of how my world, your "Unofficial" world...
And even the world of official Sentai projects were connected.
Boss! We've got trouble!
Using the poorly defended Unofficial world as their base...
They ultimately managed to present themselves as the legitimate successor to Super Sentai,
and so, were able to steal away Asahi's Sunday morning time slot.
With Malshina, their greatest hindrance, defeated...
The project at the core of this world is no longer Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger.
Now, it is the world of the Unofficial Giant God Prism Ace.
Then what about us?
You're characters from the previous show.
It's time for your injection.
I was careless... and while I was only half conscious,
Sir...
A treacherous honey trap was sprung!
Stamp here...
I ended up signing away the Sunday morning time slot on Asahi.

Prism Ace has already gained acceptance as Sentai's sibling franchise.
This fall, his program will air in the time slot that once belonged to the official heroes.
That can't be.
So because our world was poorly defended...
the legacy of the official heroes has come to an end?
But Hakase... why did her personality change?!
Because she is a carryover character.
Carryover character?
To put the minds of the networks and previous fans at ease,
she alone will carry on from the previous series.
Although her personality and abilities will be altered to suit the new program.
What do we do, Nobunyan?!
We have to protect the official heroes' timeslot.
And to do that...
We need to take our world back!
I wonder if big brother is used to this planet yet?
I am the high school girl character in this show!
And I won't let you take over my niche with that highly marketable costume!
What's with you?!
Are you trying to get in the way of me and my big brother's story?!
Now!
Huh?
Yuko? Akagi?
What happened to the cafe...?!
I don't remember redecorating like this!
It worked!
So that's what happened...
Alright, now we've got Hakase back!
Which means we can really start fighting back!
But what can we do next? You can't enter the Grand Delusion.
No, there's a way.
In the world of Super Sentai,
there's always a chance for one more battle after the final episode!
Oh! That's it!
What is?
This!
Unofficial Giant God Prism Ace VS Akibaranger [APPROVED]
Hatte has approved a Versus special!
That's exactly what I'd expect from a script you came up with.
The climax was really intense!
There was that huge alien fleet headed towards the Earth!
They were so dangerous that even the strongest Galactic Detectives in the universe couldn't beat them!
I don't see how the TV networks could turn down signing off on a project like that!
Come on! It's time to take that mane-faced jerk down!
- Nyou got it! - Luna!
Grand Delusion!
Bang!
Alright, let's go!
- Nyou got it! - Luna!
We're headed nyout!
Alright... come on, come on!
I am here.
Where is our enemy?
It's you!
Ita-Launcher, fire!
Ow...!
This is not what I expected.
I was led to believe this was a project where the heroes joined forces to defeat a titanic threat!
What a newfag!
Versus movies always start with the heroes fighting over a—
Save the explanation!
We're fighting because it's got "Versus" in the title! You got a problem with that?!
- Come on! - Right!
Normal attack, To Be Determined!
Determined!
This is madness...
Go for it, guys!
But can they beat Prism Ace when he's so big?
We've got a plan! One General Pain came up with.
Hiroyo!
Oh, big brother...
Don't be too mean to those tiny people, okay~?
- Hear me, my sister! - Yesss?
You must regain your true power!
Activate!
Manager!
Big brother... I can give it to you.
You can have my power!
Prism Power!
Hakase?!
Prism Beam!
Oh crap, oh crap!
Look out!
Prism Beam!
What?!
Cease your futile resistance.
I am an almighty giant god!
Mere mortals clad in masks and costumes could never defeat a god,
not even if they fought for ten thousand light years!
Ten Thousand Light Years
That's a unyit of distance, not time!
Shut up!
Tiny humans joining together to face a giant enemy...
That's the spirit of Sentai!
This helmet! This suit!
It's the embodiment of my eternal respect for Super Sentai!
Nyeah, that's right!
Old man...
Super Delusion!
Boom!
Glomp.
I'll get you guys out!
Let's go!
- Come on! - Right!
When it comes to Versus...
My favorite is Fiveman's Fusion VS Combination!
Fusion VS Combination
Super Akiba Red!
Oh! Gingaman, right?
Then my favorite is the episode about idols, with Talisman Bishop!
No, no, no...
No, not those Gingaman, the Gingaman from Fiveman!
Akiba Blue!
Well, right nyow, I'm trying my hand at writing a novel...
But it's like no matter how much I write, the plot never goes anywhere!
Aw! Yellow.
Pain is power!
Ready?!
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger!
And today... it's our team-up version!
Hey! Sorry about the wait, Akibarangers!
General Pain!
Delusimport!
This is our trump card!
Thanks to the Delusimport,
we now possess a show-accurate Magic Cell Phone, the Wolzaphone!
Thank you, General Pain!
Doza Wol Wolgaro!
DOZA WOL WOLGARO
Here we go!
Such insolence, from a human!
- We need to help Nobunyan! - Right!
Penultimate Cannon-Bazooka, ready!
Penultimate Cannon-Bazooka, fire!
Prism Beam!
I need to give big brother all my power!
Use my Prism Power to defeat those three traitors!
Manager!
Prism Max!
Huh? What? I...
Now's your chance, Akibarangers! Take that giant oaf down!
Oh man, why are they in trouble all of a sudden?!
No, Akagi! You're on the left! You've gotta flip that around!
Flip it...?
That's it!
Prism...
Prism Beam!
Impossible! Why?!
Because you could never truly understand the Right-to-Left Principle!
Right-to-Left Principle
Right-to-Left Principle?
Japanese superheroes inherited certain traits from classic Japanese theater.
Most of us launch our super moves from the right, moving toward the left!
Your company might be foreign,
but if you wanna act like a Japanese superhero, you must obey this law!
Right now, being on the left means you're standing on the loser's side of the screen!
What?!
Here we go! Blue, Yellow!
- Right! - Right!
Akiba Receive!
Akiba Toss!
Let's do it together!
Giant Golden Glomp Slash!
My sister... I leave Sunday mornings—
Yes! We did it!
They've done it!
Yay!
Now we've saved the Sunday morning Sentai we love so much!
Whoa, whoa!
Which I was pretty happy about at first...
Toei Co. Hospital
Congratulations on your release, Mr. Hatte.
- Congratulations! - Thanks.
Bye now.
Waver... waver...
Whoa, look out, look out!
How'd this happen?!
Well, come on!
Prism Ace was supposed to help you fight them, but then you guys beat him instead!
Oh nyo...
I really doubt we're going to survive this!
You have to come back alive! Iwashimizu! Yuko! Akagi!
Remember, you promised we'd all go see the Aoi movie together!
Together! Together! Together! Together!
Huh?
What the...?
M-Manager...
Didn't you just set the flag for ending the scene with a powerful suicide attack?
Suicide Attack Flag Activated
I take it back! Forget about that!
It's too late!
It looks like the Itasha is now pushing the biggest spaceship...
What's going on here?! How is this happening?!
- What is this?! - Where's it pushing that thing?!
BOY!
Boy's here too!
I wouldn't be happy about that!
We're gonnya fly straight into the sun!
Get back here, Itasha Robo! Itasha Boy!
Flag Intensifies
Listen to me!
Oh, you idiot! You're just making the flag stronger!
It's no good! They're nyot gonna listen!
I never got my big break as an idol.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid!
We're done for!
I should at least say something cool in the end, like a hero should!
That's it!
Listen, everybody. Make sure to watch TV every Sunday morning.
Every time the official heroes air on Asahi, like they usually do, that means—
Goodbye, Unofficial Sentai
