This article is about an additional unnumbered (EX) series entry in the Super Sentai series.
Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu (非公認戦隊アキバレンジャーシーズン痛,Hikōnin Sentai Akibarenjā Shīzun Tsū), is the second season of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, the "unofficial installment" of the Super Sentai series. It began airing on April 6, 2013.
Like the first season, the series is geared towards teenagers and otaku rather than young children like the mainstream series.[1]
Funnily noted, the Akibarangers hinted a return during their final episode, though the series was never renewed for a third season.
During production, the series originally had a tentative working title of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger 2 (非公認戦隊アキバレンジャー2,Hikōnin Sentai Akibarenjā Tsū).[2]
All episode titles are written in kanji like Shinkenger, however they all start with the word Delusion (妄想,Mōsō), (similar to "Abare" being in all titles of Abaranger)
The character 痛 (,痛 pain) is used in the title with the number two in it is a pun on the Japanese word for pain and the Japanese pronouncement of "two".
Despite the fact it isn't official, it is the first season to have a second season.
Though Akibaranger did not have a third season, in its place during the year in 2014 aired Kanpai Senshi After V, a 12-episode show which, though not produced by Toei, light-heartedly parodied Super Sentai as did Akibaranger.
This is the first Super Sentai with all members deceased (although it is unofficial).
