List of Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger characters

Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger is a tokusatsu series produced by Toei that parodies their long-running Super Sentai series.

The Akibarangers

The Akibarangers (season 1) transformed. From left: Akiba Yellow, Akiba Red and Akiba Blue. The Akibaranger logo is a stylized "A" over the kanji Hi (非).

The Akibarangers consist of three otakus that live in the Akihabara district of Tokyo who were given special technology by a scientist to fight an evil threat. The Akibarangers use "Delusion Power" (妄想パワー Mōsō Pawā) to transform into their Akibaranger forms. In reality, the Akibarangers end up in a shared daydream state known as the Delusion World (妄想世界 Mōsō Sekai) where they use the power of their imagination to fight the Stema Otsu Corporation. However, once the Stema Otsu's monsters start appearing in reality, the Akibarangers also start materializing their transformed alter-egos to pursuit them and eventually obtain the ability to transform directly in the real world. The trio's motto is "Pain Is Power!" (痛さは強さ! "Itasa wa Tsuyosa!"). They can perform the Akibaship Attack (アキバシップアタック Akibashippu Atakku) and the Heart-Technique-Body Attack (心技体アタック Shin Gi Tai Atakku) while New Akiba Red was a member of the group. Each of the Akibarangers (other than the new Red) have the kanji for their representative color in their surname.

Nobuo Akagi

Nobuo Akagi (赤木 信夫 Akagi Nobuo) is an average 29-year-old man who works as a delivery boy at Sasaki Pom Poko Delivery (佐々木ポンポコデリバリー Sasaki Pon Poko Deribarī) and still lives with his mother. He loves the Super Sentai Series and is shown to have vast knowledge of the franchise, often having delusions about being a hero. He is also shown to have great interest in an anime called Nijiyome Academy Z-Cune Aoi (にじよめ学園　ズキューーン葵 Nijiyome Gakuen Zukyūn Aoi). Whenever Akagi transforms into Akiba Red (アキバレッド Akiba Reddo), his roll call involves recommending a warrior or villain from a past Super Sentai series while imitating their signature pose.^[1]

In Season Tsuu, after acquiring a dōjinshi from Yuko, Akiba Red gains a new power-up and becomes Super Akiba Red (超アキバレッド Chō Akiba Reddo), now donning a special armor that resembles Aoi-tan embracing him.^[2] When performing the Big Golden Munyu Slash finishing attack, enlarged Super Akiba Red becomes Super Akiba Red Super (超アキバレッド・スーパー Chō Akiba Reddo Sūpā) glittering golden.

His surname includes the kanji for "red" (赤 aka).

Nobuo Akagi is portrayed by Masato Wada (和田 正人 Wada Masato). As a child, he is portrayed by Fuku Suzuki (鈴木 福 Suzuki Fuku).

Mitsuki Aoyagi

Mitsuki Aoyagi (青柳 美月 Aoyagi Mitsuki) is a famous 18-year-old martial artist who became an Akibaranger to improve her fighting skills, fighting as Akiba Blue (アキバブルー Akiba Burū). She is a very serious person, but she secretly loves Z-Cune Aoi. Unlike her teammates, Mitsuki initially knows little to nothing about the Super Sentai until she spends a day watching episodes of GoGo Sentai Boukenger to better understand the culture of the subgenre. She is very uncomfortable doing any of the things Akagi tells her to do, such as making poses or calling each other by their colors and not their actual names. However, by the middle of the series, she gains enough confidence to make her own roll call, referencing veteran action director Kazuo Niibori as her inspiration. An unusual feature of Akiba Blue's suit is a picture of a teddy bear printed on the lower backside of her uniform's panties.^[1]

In Season Tsuu, it is revealed that the events of the later episodes of the first season were somehow retconned, with Mitsuki being scouted to work by the Pentagon instead of Akagi and she is now the one who has left to the United States after the Akibarangers defeated the Stema Otsu for good.

Her surname includes the kanji for "blue" (青 ao).

Mitsuki Aoyagi is portrayed by Kyoko Hinami (日南 響子 Hinami Kyōko).

Yumeria Moegi

Yumeria Moegi (萌黄 ゆめりあ Moegi Yumeria) is a 23-year-old woman who loves cosplaying. Her name used here is a cosplay alias instead of her real name, Yuko Yamada (山田 優子 Yamada Yūko). Though she acts like a child, she is actually an office worker during the day and speaks in a deep voice whenever her costume's look is compromised. She is also known to draw her own doujin manga and tries to sell them at Comiket, which she often babbles about during her roll call as Akiba Yellow (アキバイエロー Akiba Ierō). Due to her experience as a cosplayer, she tends to stay in character, even while transformed. In one such instance, she cosplayed as Mere from Juken Sentai Gekiranger and even adopted her fighting style in battle. She is also shown to have vast knowledge of the Super Sentai, however not as great compared to Akagi. Yumeria is revealed to be a fujoshi, as she has a tendency to go moe and lose consciousness over a homoerotic scene.^[1]

In Season Tsuu, the "pigtails" on Akiba Yellow's helmet becomes an "odango-style double bun" with a ribbon on them.^[2] The word for "married woman" (「人妻」 "hitozuma") is also now printed on the backside of her Akibaranger uniform's panties, as she married into the wealthy Yokoyama family and now goes by the name "Yuko Yokoyama" (「横山 優子」 "Yokoyama Yūko"), rather than by her cosplay nickname. Though her new family upbringing initially restricts her otaku tendencies, she secretly keeps her manga collection behind the bookshelf in her bedroom. As a means to defeat the Smaphone Monger in episode 4, Yuko draws a Z-Cune Aoi dōjinshi that inspires Akagi to materialize the MMZ-02 Munyu Munyu Zubaaan and become Super Akiba Red.

Her alias' surname includes the kanji for "yellow" (黄 ki), while the kanji read as yoko (横^?) in her married name is constructed with the kanji for "yellow".

Yumeria Moegi is portrayed by Karin Ogino (荻野 可鈴 Ogino Karin).

Takuma Tsuzuki

Takuma Tsuzuki (都築 タクマ Tsuzuki Takuma) is an ICPO agent who is also Hiroyo's younger half-brother, his father meeting his mother during an Anime convention in New York. He becomes the New Akiba Red (新アキバレッド Shin Akiba Reddo) after Akagi is recruited by The Pentagon. As Akiba Red, he can perform the Surge Mice (サージマイス Sāji Maisu) razor-sharp headbutt and the Surge Jaguar (サージジャガー Sāji Jagā), a Geki Waza-like attack, projecting his energy as a jaguar to fiercely attack an opponent. After Akagi reveals that their reality is a TV series undergoing a mid-season change and that his appearance was part of a plot device, Takuma relinquishes his position as Akiba Red once he receives a text message to return to Interpol.

Takuma Tsuzuki is portrayed by Shinpei Takagi (高木 心平 Takagi Shinpei), whose identical twin brother is Manpei Takagi, who portrayed Retu Fukami in Juken Sentai Gekiranger; Shinpei also appeared in Gekiranger episode 38 as an evil clone of Manpei's character. Tsuzuki's many powers as the New Akiba Red are meant to reference Takagi's connections to the previous show.

Luna Iwashimizu

Luna Iwashimizu (石清水 美月 Iwashimizu Runa) is Mitsuki Aoyagi's replacement as Akiba Blue (アキバブルー Akiba Burū) in Season Tsuu.^[3][4] An aspiring idol, Luna is a fan of Akibaranger (unaware of the reality displacement that put Akibaranger in place of Gosei Sentai Dairanger as an official Super Sentai) and has extensive production knowledge of Super Sentai and various genres. She is recruited by Akagi and Hiroyo when they notice the kanji of her first name is written the same as Mitsuki and her last name contains the kanji for blue, though she thinks she is cast into an Akibaranger remake series. However, after Dairanger is restored in the continuity, Luna quits from the Akibarangers, seeing no benefit to her career goal to be with them. Nevertheless, she rejoins the Akibarangers in battle after Hiroyo negotiates with her manager to "hire" her, but she stays with them permanently after being inspired by Akagi and Yuko's battle with Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger. She hopes to use her Akibaranger identity as a stepping stone for her road to stardom. For the new Akiba Blue's suit, the "split ponytail" on the helmet becomes a straight ponytail and she now wears a garter belt. Her roll call involves word plays on her name.^[2]

The kanji comprising the shi (清^?) sound in her name is constructed with the kanji for "blue".

Luna Iwashimizu is portrayed by Shione Sawada (澤田 汐音 Sawada Shione).

Equipment

• MMZ-01 Moe Moe Z-Cune (MMZ-01 モエモエズキューーン Emu Emu Zetto Zero Wan Moe Moe Zukyūn): The Akibarangers assume their fighting forms by using a device known as the MMZ-01, a doll-like object which transforms into the Akibarangers' main firearm weapon, with the activation call of "Jumoso" (ジューモーソー（重妄想） Jūmōsō, lit. "Grand Delusion") that links their minds so they can fight within the same delusion. Its firing is called Normal Attack (Temporary) (通常攻撃（仮） Tsūjō Kōgeki Kakkokari). The Akibarangers' finishing attacks are the Moe Magnum (萌えマグナム Moe Magunamu), firing all three MMZ-01s at an opponent, and the Moe Magnum Mega Moe Fire (萌えマグナム・激萌えファイヤー Moe Magunamu Geki Moe Faiyā), firing Akiba Yellow's MMZ-01 with Akiba Red and Akiba Blue's energy at an opponent. In addition, the MMZ-01s double as communication devices between the Akibarangers and Hiroyo. The devices, however, carry a curse that affects Hiroyo and would eventually rob her of her voice after the MMZ-01s are used enough times in the real world. But once the curse is revealed to be part of in-show retooling, it was dropped in favor for cancellation.
• Machine Itashar (マシンイタッシャー Mashin Itasshā): The Machine Itashar is the Akibarangers red Z-Cune Aoi-decorated itasha Toyota Prius^[1] that transforms into a car-sized robot called Itashar Robo (イタッシャーロボ Itasshā Robo) when a Z-Cune Aoi CD is played on the car stereo at full blast. Itashar Robo dodges an opponent's attack by performing wotagei and is equipped with the Ita Launchers (痛ランチャー Ita Ranchā) and the Ita Machine Guns (痛マシンガン Ita Mashin Gan). Once in the real world, Itashar Robo can convert Akihabara store signs into weapons using Delusion Power, such as a Signage Rifle, which can perform the Kanban Bang (カンバンバン Kanban Ban, lit. Signboard Bang) attack, and dual Tsundere Swords (ツンデレソード Tsundere Sōdo). Itashar Robo is piloted by Akiba Yellow, while Akiba Red serves as the gunner.
• MMZ-02 Munyu Munyu Zubaaan (MMZ-02 ムニュムニュズバーーン Emu Emu Zetto Zero Tsū Munyu Munyu Zubān): An Aoi-tan figurine that can transform into a knife and serves as Akiba Red's means to assume his Super Akiba Red form with the activation call of "Chomoso" (超妄想 Chōmōsō, lit. "Super Delusion"). Super Akiba Red's finishing attacks are the Munyu Slash (ムニュスラッシュ Munyu Surasshu) and the Big Golden Munyu Slash (巨大ゴールデンムニュスラッシュ Kyodai Gōruden Munyu Surasshu). Though it mainly exists in the Delusion World, a real-life version was commissioned by Akagi through a friend of a friend, who turns out to be Ushirozawa/General Tsuu, not knowing the figure was used as Akiba Red's weapon at the time.
• Munyu Moe Zubakyuuun (ムニュモエズバキューーン Munyu Moe Zubakyūn): The combination of the MMZ-01 and the MMZ-02 into a powerful cannon. Super Akiba Red's finishing attacks are the Munyu Moe Prominence (ムニュモエプロミネンス Munyu Moe Purominensu) and the Munyu Moe Zubasher (ムニュモエズバッシャー Munyu Moe Zubasshā).
• Itashar Boy (イタッシャーボーイ Itasshā Bōi): A small version of Itashar Robo that transforms from a toy car replica of Machine Itashar. Though small, Itashar Boy is strong enough to lift a giant monster with ease.

Inordinate Powers

The Akibarangers are able to use the Super Sentai's Inordinate Power (大それた力 Daisoreta Chikara). Each is a weapon created from visions of past Red Super Sentai warriors, as a parody of the Great Powers from Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger (and to an extent, the Final Form Rides from Kamen Rider Decade). Using the command Unofficial Combination (非公認合体 Hikōnin Gattai), the Inordinate Powers of the Dekarangers, Boukengers, and Jetmen can be combined into the Inordinate Cannon (ダイソレタキャノン Daisoreta Kyanon), while the Inordinate Powers of the Dairangers, Zyurangers, and Hurricangers can be combined into the Inordinate Bazooka (ダイソレタバズーカ Daisoreta Bazūka). All six Inordinate Powers can be combined together into the Akibarangers ultimate weapon, the Inordinate Cannon Bazooka (ダイソレテルキャノンバズーカ Daisoreteru Kyanon Bazūka).

• Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger: The Dekarangers' Inordinate Power allows Akiba Red to transform Deka Red into the Deka Wapper (デカワッパー Deka Wappā), based on the Dekarangers' D-Wapper. The Deka Wapper can be used as either a two-handed melee weapon or to trap an enemy. In addition, it forms the Inordinate Cannon's left and right barrels and bottom plate.
• GoGo Sentai Boukenger: The Boukengers' Inordinate Power allows Akiba Blue to transform Bouken Red into the blue Bouken Scooper (ボウケンスコッパー Bōken Sukoppā), based on the DaiBouken's Go Scooper. The Bouken Scooper enables the user to burrow underground at high speeds to execute surprise attacks on an enemy. The user can also use it to execute a flying drill kick called the Akihabara Underground Culture Attack (秋葉原アンダーグラウンドカルチャーアタック Akihabara Andāguraundo Karuchā Atakku). In addition, the Bouken Scooper forms the Inordinate Cannon's base and blast shield.
• Chōjin Sentai Jetman: The Jetmen's Inordinate Power allows Akiba Red to transform Red Hawk into the Jet Winger (ジェットウインガー Jetto Uingā), a jet pack that resembles the Jetmen's Cross Changer bracelet. The Jet Winger enables the user to destroy an enemy with an attack similar to Jet Icarus' finisher, the Jet Phoenix. It also forms the Inordinate Cannon's center barrel and support frame for the D-Wapper parts.
• Gosei Sentai Dairanger: The Dairangers' Inordinate Power allows Akiba Red to transform Ryu Ranger and Kiba Ranger into the Dairen Bomber (ダイレンボンバー Dairen Bonbā), twin hand-themed rifles that resemble the DaiRinKen that can be combined into a rifle that mimics the Dairangers' Qi-Power Bomber attack. In addition, the Dairen Bomber forms the Inordinate Bazooka's rear part.
• Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger: The Zyurangers' Inordinate Power allows Akiba Blue to transform Tyrano Ranger and Dragon Ranger into the Zyuren Buckler (ジュウレンバックラー Jūren Bakkurā), based on the Zyurangers' Dyno Buckler, to fire an energy beam called the Dinosaur Power Attack (恐竜パワーアタック Kyōryū Pawā Atakku). In addition, the Zyuren Buckler forms the Inordinate Bazooka's front part.
• Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger: The Hurricanegers' Inordinate Power allows Akiba Red to transform the Hurricanegers and the Gouraigers into the Hurricane Ball (ハリケンボール Hariken Bōru), a ball and chain that resembles the Hurricanegers' Karakuri Ball. In addition, the Hurricane Ball forms the Inordinate Bazooka's middle part.

Allies of the Akibarangers

Hiroyo Hakase

Hiroyo Hakase (葉加瀬 博世 Hakase Hiroyo) is the owner of the Sentai Café Himitsukichi (戦隊カフェひみつきち Sentai Kafe Himitsukichi, "Secret Base Sentai Café") in Akihabara. Her real name is Hiroyo Tsuzuki (都築 博世 Tsuzuki Hiroyo), the daughter of Takehiro Tsuzuki who used the anagram alias of Shuri Toyozuki (十夜月 朱里 Toyozuki Shuri) to be the voice actor for Aoi Ichikawa (市川 葵 Ichikawa Aoi), the protagonist of the popular anime Nijiyome Academy Z-Cune Aoi which her father played a role in creating. Hiroyo serves as the commander of the Akibarangers as she is the one who handpicked the Akibarangers, supplying them their MMZ-01 devices her father gave to her at the Z-Cune Aoi series wrap up. However, Hiroyo was unaware that the MMZ-01s were intended by Doctor Z to destroy the barrier between reality and fantasy while also inflicting her with a curse upon being the first person to hold them. With the curse taking the form of a scorpion tattoo on her chest, it slowly crawls up her throat whenever the MMZ-01 units are used in the real world before it takes away her voice forever. The curse is later revealed to be the work of Saburo Hatte as part of an in-show retooling before it was dropped once Akagi confirmed that it was a plot device.^[1]

In Season Tsuu, Hiroyo's career as Aoi's voice remains a secret due to the continuity being retconned. But there are subtle hints as seen in Malseena and Smaphone Monger's actions in distorting the reputation of the Z-Cune Aoi anime causing Himitsukichi to suddenly downgrade into a run-down establishment with Hiroyo in massive debt until the damage is undone. As the Akibarangers eventually manage to defeat General Tsuu, Hiroyo finds herself with the scorpion tattoo curse. However, instead of taking away her voice, the tattoo transforms her into Prism Ace's little sister as a result of Chigauyo Productions' manipulation of Saburo Hatte. In this form, Hiroyo has a green crystal on her forehead that recharges Prism Ace and talks in the high-pitched voice she normally uses to voice Aoi; she reverts to normal when the crystal is covered. She returns to her normal self for good when an enlarged Super Akiba Red destroys Prism Ace.

Hiroyo Hakase is portrayed by Maaya Uchida (内田 真礼 Uchida Maaya).

After a backfired attempt by Yumeria to forestall the show's cancellation, KozuKozu reveals a long-standing crush on Yumeria. This relationship, however, is erased by the series' retcon in Season Tsuu.

KozuKozu Mita is portrayed by Kozue Aikawa (愛川 こずえ Aikawa Kozue, formerly of Danceroid)

In Akagi's delusions, Sayaka is sometimes seen as the damsel in distress, until she actually becomes one shortly after the Stema Otsu Corporation begin to invade the real world. She eventually takes an interest in Super Sentai in order to close Akagi's romance arc and allow the show to end.

In Season Tsuu, Akagi mentions that Sayaka has moved to Bhutan to work with her uncle.

Sayaka Honiden is portrayed by Miiko Morita (森田 美位子 Morita Miiko).

Masako Yamada

She actively participates in the battle with Kabukichō Mesugurohyōmonchō, transforming into Akiba Yellow herself, before allowing Yumeria to continue. After the fight, Yumeria reveals to the group that her mother actually died in a car accident five years prior, and she has always spent her birthday thinking of her mother, which is how she ended up in the delusion with them.

Masako Yamada is portrayed by Rica Matsumoto (松本 梨香 Matsumoto Rika).

Kazuo Niibori

Kazuo Niibori (新堀 和男 Niibori Kazuo) is a suit actor who portrayed Red Hawk in Chōjin Sentai Jetman, amongst several other Red warriors in the history of Super Sentai. The Akibarangers meet him when Akagi is tasked with delivering a package to Toei's studios, and he helps Aoyagi become better as an Akibaranger by teaching her various suit actor tactics, under the mistaken belief that she had been hired by Toei to become a suit actor for the next Super Sentai series' Blue warrior.

Tsukada P is voiced by Yasuhiro Takato (高戸 靖広 Takato Yasuhiro).

Mio Usagi

Mio Usagi (宇佐木 美緒 Usagi Mio, a character from Salvage Mice) is Mitsuki's rival in martial arts, sought out to be a means to extend the Akibarangers' show once they realize everything they have been doing is a work of fiction.

Spielburton travels to Japan to hold an audition for his upcoming movie. Though he is impressed with Luna's fluency in English, he ultimately chooses Akina Maihama after she uses a technique from Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan during her tryout.

When the Akibarangers mistake Okamoto for General Tsuu, they attempt to break him down, but are thwarted by his resistance to extreme heat and pain. He later on explains to the Akibarangers that he was hired by General Tsuu to become a motion capture study for the latter's monster Mutoumushite. Okamoto also mentions that while he was overshadowed by Kazuo Niibori, he made up for it by giving each of his characters a glorious death - a trait that becomes Mutoumushite's downfall in his final confrontation with the Akibarangers.

Previous Sentai warriors

These previous Sentai warriors are not real, but appear in the Akibarangers' delusions often assisting them in battle and giving them their Inordinate Power. For Season Tsuu, the male warriors are voiced by Tomokazu Seki (関 智一 Seki Tomokazu) and Takeshi Kusao (草尾 毅 Kusao Takeshi), while the female warriors are voiced by Akiko Nakagawa (中川 亜紀子 Nakagawa Akiko) except where indicated.

• Deka Red (デカレッド Deka Reddo): Deka Red is the red warrior of the Dekarangers, the 28th Super Sentai. During the events of episode 2, Akagi comes across Ryuji Sainei (載寧 龍二 Sainei Ryūji), the actor who portrayed Banban Akaza (赤座 伴番 Akaza Banban), a.k.a. Deka Red, in Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, while Sainei is on his way to a news conference promoting the Japanese language dub of Power Rangers S.P.D. in which he voices his character's American counterpart Jack Landors. Though Akagi's passionate meeting with Sainei was only merely a delusion, with the actor a bit weirded out yet glad to meet a fan of his work, Hiroyo hires a suit actor to convince Akagi to stay with the Akibarangers. Later, during the battle with Shibuya Kouzorinahigenagaaburamushi, the "real" Deka Red appears and grants the team the Dekarangers' Inordinate Power. In Season Tsuu, Deka Red leads his team in aiding the Akibarangers' victory over Delu Knight and his forces.
• Bouken Red (ボウケンレッド Bōken Reddo): Bouken Red is the leader of the Boukengers, the 30th Super Sentai. During the Akibarangers' initial battle with Kabukichō Mesugurohyōmonchō, a drunk Akiba Red initially summons Bouken Red "Good Luck Form" (originally seen in episode 27 of Boukenger, where the character wore good luck charms over his suit). In the final battle with Mesugurohyōmonchō, Bouken Red reappears and grants the Akibarangers the Boukengers' Inordinate Power. In Season Tsuu, Bouken Red leads his team in aiding the Akibarangers' victory over Delu Knight and his forces. Mitsuomi Takahashi (高橋 光臣 Takahashi Mitsuomi) reprises his role as the voice of Bouken Red in season one.
• Red Hawk (レッドホーク Reddo Hōku): Red Hawk is the leader of the Jetmen, the 15th Super Sentai. During the Akibarangers' battle with Shimokitazawa Hoya, Red Hawk appears and grants them the Jetmen's Inordinate Power. This occurs after Akagi and Mitsuki's encounter with former stunt actor Kazuo Niibori, who performed as the suit actor for 14 of the first 15 Super Sentai red warriors from Akarenger to Red Hawk (the exception being Spade Ace). In Season Tsuu, Red Hawk leads his team in aiding the Akibarangers' victory over Delu Knight and his forces.
• Ryu Ranger (リュウレンジャー Ryū Renjā): Ryu Ranger is the leader of the Dairangers, the 17th Super Sentai. However, when the Akibarangers are made into the 17th Super Sentai, he appears in the Delusion World as the gyoza delivering China Red (チャイナレッド Chaina Reddo). As a result of an attack by Chief Clerk Blu-ray, Ryu Ranger's helmet sports dragon eyes above the visor, and the "D" emblem on his chest is replaced with Chūka (中華), the kanji for China (a jab on the false Internet rumor of Chūka Sentai Chinaman (中華戦隊チャイナマン Chūka Sentai Chainaman, lit. "Chinese Sentai Chinaman") being Dairanger's pre-production title). Akiba Red restores Ryu Ranger back to normal by getting China Red to re-enact the Ryo vs. Jin Matoba fight of Dairanger episode 27. Tomokazu Seki provides the voice of China Red. Keiichi Wada (和田 圭市 Wada Keiichi) reprises his role as the voice of Ryu Ranger.
• Kiba Ranger (キバレンジャー Kiba Renjā): Kiba Ranger is the sixth member of the Dairangers. However, in the Season Tsuu continuity, where the Akibarangers have replaced the Dairangers as the 17th Super Sentai, Kiba Ranger attacks the Akibarangers and China Red for the shame brought upon him. The emblem on his chest is replaced with a gold Akibaranger logo. It is revealed in the continuity warp that Gosei Sentai Akibaranger was canceled after only 13 episodes due to having a poor reputation; as a result, Kiba Ranger never saw the spotlight and was relegated to obscurity. Akiba Yellow restores Kiba Ranger back to normal by imitating Rin from Dairanger episode 33.

Thanks to Luna's misunderstanding of Sentai history, the entire history of the Super Sentai is altered to have it originating from an American live-action franchise called "Powerful Rangers" (パワフルレンジャー Pawafuru Renjā) instead of the other way around, rendering all Super Sentai predating Zyuranger nonexistent (in fact, in this reality, Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger becomes the first Sentai series instead). Speaking in American accents with their suits sporting U.S. flag in the belt and collar, the two Zyurangers are bent on "Americanizing" the Akibarangers while developing a crush on Malseena. After Akiba Red reminds the two Zyurangers of who they are, using the show-accurate sound effects of a Zyusouken toy to complete the restoration, the Zyurangers entrust the Akibarangers with their Inordinate power. Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger are voiced by Tomokazu Seki and Takeshi Kusao, respectively.

But due to the actions of Hadezukin, the Gouraigers are drafted into her Jakanger group.

Stema Otsu Corporation/Delusion Empire

The Evil Group Stema Otsu Corporation (邪団法人ステマ乙 Jadan Hōjin Sutema Otsu) are the first season's main antagonists. Their main purpose is to destroy the otaku culture within Akihabara and incorporate on it the economy and lifestyle of a different district. However, originally products of Takehiro Tsuzuki's imagination and intended to be villains on Z-Cune Aoi, the Stema Otsu Corporation is revealed to be a delusion created by the Akibarangers to explain the series of unrelated crimes occurring in their district from their perspective. Originally, the battles against the Corporation only happen in the minds of the Akibarangers, but the rules change when Malseena somehow enters the real world and helps Doctor Z in destroying the barrier so their forces can invade reality. Under Saburo Hatte's influence, Doctor Z reorganizes the Stema Otsu Corporation into the Delusion Empire (デリュージョン帝国 Deryūjon Teikoku). After Doctor Z reforms, Malseena reestablishes the Stema Otsu Corporation in an attempt to prolong the series. The Stema Otsu is reestablished in season two after Malseena betrays General Tsuu.

Doctor Z

Doctor Z (ドクターZ Dokutā Zetto) is the Stema Otsu Corporation's head. His true identity is Takehiro Tsuzuki (都築 丈博 Tsuzuki Takehiro), Hiroyo's father who was a brilliant scientist admired by his peers. However, his undying love for anime resulted in his divorce from Hiroyo's mother and departure from his professional field as he pursued a career as an anime character designer. After scouting for opportunities without success, Takehiro managed to land a job at Studio Bell Village after the studio was impressed with his designs. However, his increasingly surreal and violent concept sketches, along with several personal conflicts with the production staff and chief animator, led to his termination from the studio and himself being ostracized from the industry. Returning to his former profession in the field of science to pay for child support, Takehiro discovered the Moeshinsuki Particles (モエシニスキー粒子 Moeshinisukī Ryūshi, lit. "Love moe to death"), which react to human brainwaves and convert delusional images into reality. While the scientific discovery was a major accomplishment in his life, he turned to the side of evil and became Doctor Z upon discovering that Studio Bell Village reworked his original character designs into what was to become Z-Cune Aoi. Furthermore, he disowned his daughter when she secretly became the voice actress of Aoi Ichikawa to the point of placing a career-threatening curse on her through the sketches he sent her. Posing as a homeless man, Doctor Z oversaw Malseena's scheme of tearing down reality before revealing himself to Hiroyo and the Akibarangers. Soon after, influenced by the series producer, Z's agenda becomes more dark and warped as he reformats his organization and disowns Malseena. Eventually, in the aftermath of Delu Knight's defeat, Z reforms and reconciles with Hiroyo.

In Season Tsuu, the events of the first season are retconned with Tsuzuki having no role in the Stema Otsu Corporation. He is mentioned by Hiroyo as working on a robot project at MIT.

Doctor Z is portrayed by Kazuki Yao (矢尾 一樹 Yao Kazuki), who previously voiced Ninjaman in Ninja Sentai Kakuranger.

Malseena

Malseena (マルシーナ Marushīna) is the Akibarangers' reoccurring nemesis, able to change her physical appearance and voice instantly. Malseena's name is from "©" (Maru Shī, Circled C) and is also written "©na". At first, Malseena was believed to be originated from Akagi's vision of an ideal enemy. But in reality, Malseena was the product of Takehiro Tsuzuki developing a villain for Z-Cune Aoi yet the design sketch was rejected and entrusted to Hiroyo. During the events of season one, Malseena is the Stema Otsu Corporation's head of redevelopment who plans on taking over Akihabara prior to finding a childhood drawing of Hiroyo that enables her to materialize herself outside the Akibarangers' delusion. From there, Malseena proceeds to have the Akibarangers tear down the barrier between reality and delusion. Eventually learning that there a power affecting her creator's thoughts, Malseena finds herself disowned as she attempts to stop the series finale by taking out Delu Knight before the final battle begins. In the end, after Doctor Z's reforms, Malseena reforms the Stema Otsu Corporation in an attempt to prolong the series before Hatte abruptly ended the series.

But refusing to accept the series ending like that, Malseena traveled to Hatte's reality and convinced him to create Akibaranger's second season. However, though she had him reboot the events of the first season to have her as the Stema Otsu Corporation's leader, Malseena is degraded as a subordinate of General Tsuu. However, having her own version of the Akibarangers' MMZ-01 called the MMZ-00 Moya Moya Z-Cune (MMZ-00 モヤモヤズキューーン Emu Emu Zetto Zero Zero Moya Moya Zukyūn), Malseena can assume her Battle Mode (バトルモード Batoru Mōdo) with the activation call of "Jamoso" (邪妄想 Jamōsō, lit. "Evil Delusion") and using the Moya Blaster (モヤブラスター Moya Burasutā) finishing attack.^[1]

Despite being in odds with General Tsuu, Malseena took advantage of his schemes for her own agenda prior to being trapped in an acrylic case similar to Princess Ial's Eternal Freeze and later revived as a servant controlled by him via a microphone. When General Tsuu gets trapped in his own delusions, she fakes her loyalty before having Kameari Alpaca destroy General Tsuu's microphone so she can steal his Super Sentai knowledge and use it achieve her ultimate goal: changing the Super Sentai series into the Super Malseena series where she plays the lead antagonist in each entry and wiped out the Super Sentai teams for the past 37 years.

Malseena is portrayed by Honoka (穂花).

Delu Knight

Delu Knight (デリューナイト Deryū Naito) is the Stema Otsu Corporation's executive director. He sees Takuma as his rival. His signature attack is the Delusion Mirage (デリュージョンミラージュ Deryūjon Mirāju) slash. In the final battle he pilots Boomerang Titan (ブーメランタイタン Būmeran Taitan), a giant robot, to destroy Akihabara. The Akibarangers try their best to stop it without destroying it to avoid the ultimate defeat of their enemies and the conclusion of the series, but they end up defeating him by accident. His name is derived from the English word "delusion".

In Season Tsuu, the events of the first season are retconned with Delu Knight appearing early in the storyline and getting killed by the Akibarangers' Inordinate Cannon in their final battle. He is later revived when Kameari Alpaca's death creates a portal for his return. Granted by Malseena the ability to converting defeat flags into victory flags and vice versa, Delu Knight becomes seemingly invincible by reenacting situations that usually foretell the downfall of villains in the Super Sentai Series at his favor. However, Delu Knight is once again destroyed when Super Akiba Red realizes his trick and decides to use it against him.

Delu Knight is voiced by Hiroaki Hirata (平田 広明 Hirata Hiroaki), who previously voiced Engine Machalcon in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

The Shatieeks (シャチーク Shachīku) are the Stema Otsu Corporation's salaryman foot soldiers. Wearing white masks that sport eyeglasses and thick eyebrows, they can be heard shouting "Norma" (ノルマ Noruma, Quota) and "Zangyou" (ザンギョウ（残業） Zangyō, Overtime). During the Stema Otsu Corporation's transition to the Delusion Empire, the Shatieeks trade their work clothes for blue military uniforms. Their name is from the Japanese word for "Sacrificial Corporate Drones" (社畜 Shachiku).

The Shatieeks (in Season Tsuu) are voiced by Yuuki Anai (穴井 勇輝 Anai Yūki)^[6] and Kazuki Komine (小峰 一己 Komine Kazuki).^[6]

Chief Clerks

The Chief Clerks (係長 Kakarichō) serve as the Stema Otsu Corporation's monsters, each originally conceived by Takehiro as Z-Cune Aoi villains. Each Chief Clerk is named after one of Tokyo's districts and an animal. As part of the Stema Otsu Corporation's transition into the Delusion Empire, Doctor Z has all of the surviving 40 Chief Clerks laid off and replaced with Drill Cyclops.

"Delusion Transport") system. The monsters are patterned after electronic devices and homages to Sentai villain groups whose actions in the Delusion World affect the real world, seeking to undermine the source of the Akibarangers' delusion power, which is their unyielding devotion to Anime and the Super Sentai franchise.

Though a user of the Rinjū Ladybug-Ken style, Mutoumushite's title as Time Kenma (時の拳魔 Toki no Kenma) allows him to use the fighting techniques of several Super Sentai villains portrayed by veteran stunt actor Yoshinori Okamoto. Learning that General Tsuu obtained combat data for Mutoumushite by hiring Okamoto to become a motion capture study, the Akibarangers exploit the monster's fatal flaw of desiring a glorious death by replicating the final battle between Change Dragon and Adjutant Buba before destroying Mutoumushite with the Inordinate Bazooka.

However, it is later revealed that he is the main hero of Unofficial Giant Prism Ace (非公認巨神プリズムA（エース） Hikōnin Kyojin Purizumu Ēsu), a show created by Toei's rival company Chigauyo Productions (チガウヨープロダクション Chigauyō Purodakushon) who made use of a spy to have Saburo Hatte relinquish the Super Sentai time slot to their new series, with Hiroyo transformed as Prism Ace's little sister who empowers him with a crystal on her forehead. Assisted by Hatte and Malseena, the Akibarangers confront Prism Ace by enlarging Super Akiba Red. In a disadvantage at first, Akagi makes a comeback when he changes sides with Prism Ace and makes use of the flag stating that in all tokusatsu productions the heroes usually unleash their finishing moves from the right side of the screen, defeating the enemy and returning the Super Sentai Series to normal.

Prism Ace is voiced by Tōru Furuya (古谷 徹 Furuya Tōru), who previously voiced Aka Red in GoGo Sentai Boukenger vs. Super Sentai and Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger.

Saburo Hatte

Saburo Hatte (八手 三郎 Hatte Saburō), the collective pen name of producers at Toei Company, is revealed to be behind all of the events that have taken place in Akibaranger, and has been manipulating events for the sake of popularity such as controlling Doctor Z and replacing Akagi as the main protagonist. But once his actions are revealed, Hatte resolves to cancel the series, eliminating all complex subplots the Akibarangers, attempting to stir them up by bringing them to abrupt conclusions. Even Malseena gets in on the act against Hatte, planning a battle with the Akibarangers that will last six months before Hatte sends a giant "The End" subtitle to thwart them. Though he manages to intervene off-screen to abrupt end the series, using it as an excuse to cover his losses, Hatte tricks the Akibarangers into enacting a recap episode with the promise of a second season.

In Season Tsuu, it is revealed that Hatte is hospitalized in a critical condition after sending the Akibarangers the DVD and prior to being found by Malseena as she manipulates him creating Season Tsuu before warping the Super Sentai Series into the Super Malseena Series as her personal revenge on him for making her a second banana to Doctor Z and General Tsuu. But despite her grudge, Malseena keeps Hatte alive, as his death could destroy everything she established. After Malseena is defeated by Prism Ace, he reconciles with her and appears in the Delusional World as General Tsuu to help the Akibarangers defeat Prism Ace. After the Super Sentai Series is restored, Hatte leaves the hospital.
