Icon-akibaranger2This article is about an episode in Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu.

Delusional Spy (妄想間者 Mōsō Kanja) is the seventh episode of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu.

Synopsis[]

Tsu Shogun creates a third Gouraiger who is part of Space Ninja Group Jakanja and steals the other two Gouraigers' hearts of justice and makes them Jakanja space ninjas as well, because he wants revenge on the fact that the Gouraigers became heroes. However, ©Na winds up creating extra days of the week in reality, all of which are dedicated to anti-otaku activities, even anti-cosplay, and ironically Tsu Shogun cosplays regularly!

Plot[]

While discussing about Baros lol's true intentions, the Akibarangers come across a girl dressed as an angel who extracts and swallows the Otaku hearts of some people, getting rid of their nerdiness. Realizing that she is in fact another enemy, Nobuo and the girls confront her, and she reveals herself as the Space Ninja Hadezukin, a member of Jakanja who also had ate the justice-filled hearts of the Gouraigers, who now fight with her as the evil Sentai Jakanger. The Jakangers prove themselves too strong for the Akibarangers and they are forced to bail out.

Back to reality, it is revealed that being members of the Dark Spear, the Jakangers increased their numbers from seven to ten, and as each Dark Spear is named after a day of the week, the number of days for the week were also increased as well, causing several issues in the human world. During the three extra days, all Otaku activity and merchandise is banned, and when the police starts arresting cosplayers, both Yumeria and Tsu Shogun are being targeted by them as well. While escaping from the police, General Tsu ends up meeting the Akibarangers, and when Hadezukin appears to confront them, he learns their secret, realizing that just like them, he can use his Moya Moya Z-Cune to enter the Delusion World, arriving just in time to watch the Jakangers confronting the Akibarangers, who are desperately trying to return the Gouraigers to normal.

When the Jakangers are about to win, the Hurricanegers appear to assist the Akibarangers, and the Gouraigers finally recover when they watch AkibaBlue and Yellow trying to dig Akiba Red from some debris, making them remember their days as construction workers. General Tsu is dragged back to reality when Tazuko appears to make a delivery to him, and having obtained the Ludicrous Power of the Huricanegers, Akiba Red finishes Hadezukin (whom ©Na had left alone once she realized they were outnumbered) with the Hurricane Ball. As things return to normal in the real world, a man resting in a hospital is briefly seen, and now that the Akibarangers learn of Tsu Shogun involvement with Baros lol, they decide to look for him.

Tropes and References[]

  • Nobuo and the others are seen walking in the streets eating crêpes. Crêpe is a food that Kakurangers had sold in Nekomaru during the series' run.
  • The monster of the week is both a third Gouraiger and the tenth member of Ten Dark Spears, which also had the existing Gouraigers in their ranks during this episode. Normally there are only seven Dark Spears.
    • The Seven Dark Spears are named after days of the week, which are in turn named after Roman gods. ©Na however gave the three Gouraigers similar names based on Uranus (KabutoRaiger), Poseidon (KuwagaRaiger) and Hades (TentoRaiger).
  • When Nobuo is surprised that the sudden 10-days-a-week change affects the entire episode run of Super Sentai series, Nobuo talks about Dekaranger Episode 37
  • At the karaoke bar, Nobuo wants to sing Nobinobi Man Taisou but it was blocked. This is the song that Mai had planned to sing in the last episode of Abaranger.
  • During the battle, AkibaRed uses NinjaRed's Moon Slash and AkibaYellow uses NinjaYellow's Three-Part Slash to attack Gouraigers.
    • After being knocked down, AkibaYellow and AkibaBlue reappear again as AkibaYellow uses DynaBlack's Hidden Leaf Technique, and AkibaBlue uses Ninjaman's Samurai Gekido Bomber to counterattack Gouraigers.
  • The Gouraigers "summon that thing from 2001" to counterattack Hurricaneger's Kage no Mai technique is a reference to the black monoliths from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
  • When Yuuko designs the HurricaneRed's version of chest armor, Luna refers to Shurikenger as a ninja who uses shamisen, since his weapon was called Ninjamisen.
  • When the Gouraigers saw AkibaBlue and AkibaYellow digging AkibaRed out from the ruin, they recalled originally being construction workers in the Hurricaneger.
  • During Luna's roll call, she incorrectly refers to Oboro Hinata as Onboro. Onboro means "shabby" in Japanese.
  • Before transforming into Hurricane Ball with other Hurricanegers, KabutoRaiger says Captain Marvelous' line "Let's make this showy!".
  • TentoRaiger's death speech is a verse from the Hurricanger song 'Shinobi Koi', which was originally sung by HurricaneBlue's actress. Both characters are voiced by Nao Nagasawa.

Notes[]

  • The ending to this episode is Shinken Matsuri, an insert song from Shinkenger.
  • The combination of three types of beetles in the "Jakanger" (with TentoRaiger joining the other two) is the same trio used for the Metal Heroes series B-Fighter KabutoIcon-crosswiki.
  • The Kyoto Protocol is an environmental treaty aimed to reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gases from the industrialized countries. In this episode, the Kyoto Protocol was changed to the movement to cleanse out otaku worldwide.
