Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu (非公認戦隊アキバレンジャーシーズン
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.
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?
Production[]
Initial logo as seen on early script covers.
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]

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[]
- The character 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 and 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).
