Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu

This article is about a/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, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu) translated as Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger Season Pain, 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 reviewed for a 3rd season.

Plot

Nobuo Akagi finds the MMZ-01 and Inordinate Cannon, weapons of the Akibarangers, in a store that sells Super Sentai as DX toys! Have the Akibarangers suddenly become a part of the official list of Super Sentai, unbeknownst to them? What has happened to the official heroes? He and the other Akibarangers encounter a new villain who is a major fan of Super Sentai and had modeled himself after classic villains, and who else is by his side but ©Na who wields an odd version of the MMZ-01 herself?

Differences from Season 1

Due to "rewrites" in the Akibarangers' television world, there are several differences between the first season of Akibaranger and the second:

• The fights never went to the real world, and thus, ©Na stayed in the delusion world.
• Hiroyo's father did not turn into Doctor Z, but he still made the Z-Cune devices.
• Instead of Nobuo being called to the Pentagon, Mitsuki was called, and left after the final battle.
• The Akibarangers had a final battle against ©Na and DeluKnight, who appeared much earlier than he originally did.
• Hakase has not told the Akibarangers that she is the voice actor for Aoi.
• Sayaka never returned to Akihabara.

Ultimately it is revealed that the first season did happen and that it was all a scheme by ©Na to gain full control of Saburo Hatte and rewrite the existence of Sentai so that the franchise was centered around her fighting and defeating a Sentai team every season for 37 consecutive seasons.

Notes

• This is the second unofficial Sentai Series. Like most Japanese TV shows, it is considered a different installment as opposed to a new batch of episodes under the same exact show title.
• 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".
• This season aired concurrent with Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, as well as Kamen Rider Wizard.
• 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).
