As we faced off against Malshina for the final battle,
we got some seriously big help in the form of Prism Ace!
But in reality, he was sent by another company
This fall, every Sunday at 7:30 AM on TV Asahi!
to steal the Sunday morning time slot away from Toei!
Goodbye Super Sentai! Inheriting a Shining Legacy
Hakase was almost turned into one of Prism Ace's characters too!
But we worked hard and managed to win!
We protected both the Akibaranger show as well as the official heroes' time slot!
That brings us here to the final episode!
And final episodes are all about recaps!
Really?
Yeah! Time to go over Season 2!
Yeah!
We protected the official heroes from their gravest threat ever,
so feast your eyes on our eternal glory!
Ready and...
Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger
Memory Album!
It all started when Mitsuki, Yumeria, and I each received an Aoi-tan.
We're starting with Season 1?
But I wasn't around then.
Now, now.
To solve the mystery of the MMZ-01 that her father left behind,
Hakase sought out intensely deluded people to fight in the Delusion World!
Which meant Noburin and his toku obsession,
Mitsukinyan and her dedication to martial arts,
and me, the cosplay maniac, forming the Unyofficial Sentai Akibaranger!
Mitsuki...
I wish I could have met her in person!
Our enemy was the Blatantly Evil Guerrilla Marketing Firm B!
With the va-va-voom Malshina leading an army of dopey Section Chiefs!
The three of us used our otaku knowledge to kick their butts!
But when Malshina made her way into reality around Episode 6,
the wall around reality was damaged! Nyand in Episode 9, it broke!
Hakase's daddy was a bad guy, right?
Dr. Z, you mean?
And then came his new enforcer, Delu-Knight, which led to Malshina being kicked out.
Then I was scouted by the Pentagon, and there was a second Red!
It was a hurricane of crazy new developments!
But it turned out it was nyall caused by the show's creator,
Unofficial
Hatte Saburo, pulling strings in the background!
Created By
Hatte Saburo
We had a really nice fun Sentai vibe going on,
and then he had to wade in and start shaking things up!
A creator ought to care about how he treats his work!
We tried our best to fight him,
but in the end, we couldn't beat him and the show ended.
And then came Season 2!
...but not really, huh?
Nyeah, that's right!
First, let's rewind a bit...
At the beginning of Season 2, our memories of Season 1
were altered to a different story where Malshina never appeared in reality!
Comparison Footage
Season 1
SEASON 2
The one who went to the Pentagon was not Noburin, but Mitsukinyan!
They want to hire Mitsuki!
Hello, this is Kozkoz...
Nono...
Are you sure, Pentagon?
They saw all of you on the news, and then launched an independent investigation.
"Ms. Aoyagi's fighting technique is razor-sharp."
They want to welcome you as a part of their staff?!
Incredible!
That's awesome, Mitsuki! The American Department of Defense!
It's so amazing! You're the pride of Akihabara.
Delu-Knight showed up as Malshina's lackey,
but in the final battle in the Delusion World,
we teamed up with the official heroes and managed to beat them!
But, this isn't ov—
Tsun, tsun, tsun!
I... I've—!
Eat that!
After that, I was nyabout to get married,
so the Akibarangers were peacefully dissolved.
And the boring, but peaceful, days began anyew.
But that was all the result of memories that Malshina made Mr. Hatte rewrite, right?
Right.
The day we spent reminiscing about stuff that never happened...
It was the start of our startling new chapter!
I remember how we became the nyofficial team, Five-Star Sentai Akibaranger!

FINAL EPISODE
DELUSION REVIEW
What's going on, Manager? Why put the Dairanger opening on all of a sudden?
FROM EPISODE PAIN 2
I just was reminiscing.
Nice, nice! Check out the synch!
When I heard about how Ryuranger had become China Red in the Delusion World,
I was secretly excited about delusions happening that were twice as crazy as before!
I was really excited about how fast we found a second Akiba Blue!
Thank you!
That's true.
Looking back, she was the only one who could have been the second Blue.
Always-on-Duty Idol Iwashimizu Luna
I'm one of a kind, after all!
Good luck finding anyone else who is delusional and has the kanji for "Stone" in their name!
We needed the "Blue" part!
And Yuko's husband just coincidentally ended up going on an overseas business trip...
Which meant she could come back as Akiba Yellow.
Thanks for explaining that for us.
By the way, Noburin, nyou were really crazy about the enemy monsters this season, huh?
Oh yeah! The enemy monsters!
I mean, there never would've been one with a Blu-Ray motif back in the Dairanger days!
So he came across as the ultimate Gorma monster for the 21st Century!
And when we beat him, it kinda felt like we had surpassed the Dairangers!
Stop
Rewind
Fast-forward
30 sec skip
I totally agree!
And the one who was creating those monsters in the shadows... was General Pain!
This might sound weird coming from me, but he was one nyerdy-looking old man!
Yeah! And his choice of "Galaxy Honey" was a particularly nerdy song.
He definitely earned the name General Pain!
But when we beat that Blu-Ray Section Chief,
and the Dairangers still didn't turn back to normal, I kind of panicked.
Nyeah!
Plus, Kibaranger showed up, and beat us nyall up!
Even if your ancestors forgive you, I sure as heck won't!
Because of you clowns...
Things that started exceeding our delusions were happening in the Delusion World,
and they were even starting to affect reality in weird ways!
FROM EPISODE PAIN 3
In the end, Season 2 was basically about fixing problems in the Delusion World!

Now, you clowns can love your tokusatsu music to death!

Even though we finally got to be nyofficial heroes as Akibarangers,
canceled after 13 episodes.
worst Super Sentai series
darkest time in the franchise's history
that stuff about it being nya dark period in history was definitely not what I expected!
darkest time in the franchise's history
But we were able to make the Delusion World's China Red and Kibaranger
remember Dairanger again!
And everything wrapped up with no problems!
I'm not trying to brag here, but I doubt just anybody could have pulled that off!
When it comes to loving Super Sentai, we're just as good as nya certain swashbuckling silver guy.
I remember as soon as the Dairangers turned back to normal,
Iwashimizu started talking about quitting.
Oh, I guess that did happen, huh?
Tee-hee!
FROM EPISODE PAIN 4
Actually, the time Smartphone Monger started giving out negative misinformation about Aoi-tan,
and got Noburin depressed nyabout it was even harder to deal with.
Yeah, and it was your fault Malshina became able to use the Dark Delusion, old man!
Well... sorry!
That doujinshi I drew to help cheer Noburin up...
I actually printed a bunch of copies up, and they sold pretty well. Heh.
Hey, that's cheating! I demand half the profits for using my likeness!
Nyou didn't draw it!
Stop fighting, please!

STARLINK
Heroes shouldn't bicker over money!
No, wait, didn't you get paid to fight against Smartphone Monger?
That money was just a nice bonus!
Well, whatever.
That anime of me and Aoi-tan I saw in the delusion was pretty awesome.
Yeahhh, even if that came from the manga that I drew... it was one nyerdy power up.
Aoi-tan is my waifu!
Super Akiba Red!
I have to say though, your mother-in-law really stole the show at the end, Yuko!
She really was amyazing.
I looked into it nyafterwards, and apparently she's sung 900 songs!
Entertainment Agency
STARLINK
Now that I think about it...
What with having to pay Iwashimizu and all,
I spent a lot more money than I had to in Season 1!
Let's not dwell on that too much!
But thanks to that, we were able to befriend Luna!
I guess.
FROM EPISODE PAIN 5
I'd say the first time those three really worked together
was when that Powerful Ranger stuff happened.
That's true.
Back then, Luna's crazy misunderstandings
were really messing up the Delusion World.
That was when the real world started to think
that Super Sentai was a knockoff of Powerful Rangers.
But thanks to Akagi and Yuko, things went back to normal!
Aw, we just—
I could feel the passion from their words at the time.
Even Iwashimizu was moved,
even though she didn't really get what they were trying to say.
Oh, that's right!
George Spielburton's Latest Production Super Hyper Hollywood Movie - Heroine Auditions
Actually... what was up with that director, Spielburton,
having a dream about an unofficial Sentai?
I'm not really sure... but Luna may have missed her big chance.
That's true.
She could've become a Hollywood starlet and made a whole truckload of money!
Hey now, you don't have to sulk about it.
Eh, we'll just ignore her and move onto the next one.
FROM EPISODE PAIN 6
Episode Pain 6, right?
That stuff with CutieChara Dimyension was creepy, even for me.

EPISODE 7
DELUSIONAL ESPIONAGE
Right, Hakase?
Hakase! Hey!
She's not responding at all!
Of course she isn't!
Actually, now that I think about it.
Finally changed the subject!
Up until CutieChara Dimension, General Pain was content just to create monsters.
And the one taking to the field, and actually affecting the world, was Malshina.
That must've been when General Pain noticed
the link between the Delusion World and reality.
That's right.
That's when things started to escalate.
We'll continue after the commercials!
SEASON 2 NEW WEAPON ANALYSIS
PART 1
This is the Moya Moya Z-Cune!
General Pain had access to the Moya Moya Z-Cune,
which looks exactly like the Moe Moe Z-Cune!
Not only can it Delusimport things,
but by transforming into its gun form it equips Malshina for battle mode!
On the other hand, thanks to the manga that Yuko drew,
Red's delusion gave him access to the shiny-smooth beautiful figure,
the Glomp Glomp Z-Bang!
Its power allowed Red to enter a Super Delusion and become Super Akiba Red!
Glomp.
Aoi-tan is my waifu!
Super Akiba Red!

PART 2
Let's do it!
The symbol of my love!
Glomp, glomp, bang!
Glomp Slash!
With the Glomp Glomp Z-Bang in its sword form,
Super Akiba Red can unleash his special attack, the Glomp Slash!
On top of that, the Glomp Glomp Z-Bang
can combine with his first weapon, the Moe Moe Z-Cune,
and with the power of two Aoi-tans, the Glomp Moe Z-Bang-Cune,
he ruined the enemy's schemes many times!
"Many" Case 1

"Many" Case 2
IN EPISODE PAIN 11
But, man... nobody's coming by.
Well, if we keep reminiscing like this, it'll at least kill some time.
Kill some time?!
This is the way that every Akibaranger season is supposed to end!
Oh, I know!
What?!
I bought some cake!
There's some for Akagi and the others too!
Nyay! That's Hakase for you, always considerate!
Alright... while she's getting it ready, let's keep going!
After that was the Jankajanka, right?
FROM EPISODE PAIN 7
It's Jakanja!
Oh, right.
I was pretty excited to see an evil ninja Sentai face off nyagainst a heroic one!
But in the end, it was me and Yuko's earnest, manual labor
that made the Goraigers wake up, right?
Even so, that ending was messed up.
Actually, that was around the time
Malshinya's complete control over the Delusion World started falling apart!
It was when Mr. General Pain started popping up, right?
Yep! He'd keep popping up near Malshina's crotch, the bastard!
FROM EPISODE PAIN 8
But I think if we're talking about old guys, I like Mr. Okamoto better!
Nyeah, that's right!
He's the kind of lovely gentleman who nyappreciates being stepped on in high heels!
Hey, cut that out!
If someone hears that out of context, they're gonna get the wrong idea!
Here comes the sunset!
Go!
That thing with the sunset went great, didn't it?
Even General Pain was impressed!
To think he'd go so far that he'd have Mr. Okamoto
do myotion capture for his monsters' attacks.
General Pain was nya fierce foe!
No, it was when he put Malshina in that acrylic box...
And totally reversed their positions that I was impressed!
It just goes to show how passionate General Pain was!
You'll ruin her aesthetic qualities!
Here we go!
Cake time!
Looks so good!
Akagi's, Yuko's, and Iwashimizu's, I'd say!
That's Hakase for you!
I'll go get the dishes!
I hope you'll like it!
- Of course! - You bet!
Thank you so much!
Just kidding.
Aw, I'm used to it already.
Let's keep going.
Luna!
Right!
I see you've found me, Akibarangers.
FROM EPISODE PAIN 9
General Pain's plans were really dirty though, weren't they?
He trapped us with his fake scripts, made it right before Christmas time,
and it was all just to make it so that our robot would be at its weakest!
But that was probably his best plan in all of Season 2!
We weren't nyable to escape the delusion, so we were in serious trouble!
But thanks to that, we got a new ally in the form of good ol' Itasha Boy!
So it's not like it was all bad news!
He was really tiny, but really strong nyand really cool!
He was a huge help!
Back then, Luna, it was your innocence
that made us realize that, small or not, he was our second robot!
TITAN BOY
TETRA BOY
TACKLE BOY
LINER BOY
We owe you for that!
Oh, I didn't do much.
I was able to learn a lot, and hopefully will one day become a great second something!
FROM EPISODE PAIN 10
Well, nyou should probably aim to become a great first something instead.
That's amazing, Master.
With the way she played General Pain...
Malshina was probably the scariest.
She pretended to help General Pain while planning her comeback,
stole all of his knowledge, and then got rid of him!
She's nya role model to femme fatales everywhere!
What's a femme fatale?
Could I become one if I tried?
Don't even think of going there, alright?
After all, she even swiped the power of our Penultimate Cannon-Bazooka,
and brought Delu-Knight back... or more like, re-created him!
She was the most competent character in both seasons, if nyou ask me!
SEASON 2 NEW WEAPON ANALYSIS
PART 3
In Season 2, many of the official Sentai
ended up lending the Akibarangers their penultimate powers!
The Dairanger gave them the Dairen-Bomber.
The Zyurangers provided the Zyuren-Buckler.
And from the Hurricangers, they received the Hurricane Ball.
How can these be penultimate if they never stop coming, Akagi?
SEASON 2 NEW WEAPON ANALYSIS
PART 4
It's over!
When the three penultimate powers are combined,
they become the Penultimate Bazooka!
Penultimate Bazooka, ready!
Plus, by combining those three with the Dekarangers' Deka-Cuffs from Season 1,
the Boukengers' Bouken Shovel,
and Jetman's Jet Winger, they can make a six-part combination!
This creates their ultimate weapon, the Penultimate Cannon-Bazooka!
These modern weapons are all combiners, aren't they?
Things were a bit more simple back in your day, huh?
Kinda makes me feel bad.
Penultimate Cannon-Bazooka!
FROM EPISODE PAIN 11
Bad news, everyone!
The Super Sentai series... all of the Super Sentai series are gone!
In the end, the one who was running the evil show was Malshina!
It all boiled down to how strong her will was.
She hated Hatte Saburo for writing her out of Season 1 more than anyone else!
That's why she overcame all obstacles until she was able to manipulate Hatte herself!
That's right!
She even managed to effect the real world, nyand even if it was just temporary,
she managed to turn the Super Sentai series into the Super Malshinya series!
SUPER MALSHINA SERIES
Disaster Empress
Malshina
She was so strong-willed she was able to alter reality!
I need to follow her example!
This cake is delicious!
It really is!
You guys started eating during the commercials, didn't you?!
Lucky! I wannya eat some cake too.
Y'know...
Yes?
I guess it just shows how important willpower is.
I mean, she made something like the "Super Malshina Series" a reality.
SUPER MALSHINA SERIES
Disaster Empress
Malshina
I just said that!
Oh well.
If we could get back on track...
We managed to make it through by using all of our otaku strength,
FROM EPISODE PAIN 12
but Malshina had powered up so much, we couldn't win.
Or so I thought, and then—
Man just, all this crazy stuff kept happening!
And our final enemy was even more dangerous than Hatte Saburo!
Hatte Saburo
You mean Kyutte Shiro?
Hatte Saburo
Kyutte Shiro
No!

I should at least say something cool in the end, like a hero should!

Listen, everybody. Make sure to watch TV every Sunday morning.
Every time the official heroes air on Asahi, like they usually do, that means—
Well, nyo sense in worrying about what's done.
You're right.
I wonder if they enjoyed their cake...?
Yeah. Thanks, Hakase.
We couldn't eat it...
But it made us happy.

It's kind of lonely, not hearing their voices.
Kozkoz... please, don't.
I'm sorry...
Aww, now Hakase's crying nyagain.
Please don't cry, Hakase, Kozkoz!
I shouldn't... I need to be strong.
Right. For Akagi and the others...
Alright!
Let's forget all about this and work hard!
Right!
You could remember us a little!
Luna. Yuko. Akagi.
We should get back.
Quit crying, okay?
If you really need us, I'm sure Hatte Saburo will dream up some excuse to bring us back.
That's right!
Keep fighting, everyone!
We'll nyever really be gone!
Bye everybody!
Bye bye!
Ready?!
