Our Pain ☆ Yellow MamaAkagi returns to Himitsukichi to have some curry rice when he suddenly notices Yumeria cosplaying as an alien girl and telling everyone that her mother Masako from Mount-Pear (Yamanashi Prefecture) is visiting her. Later, Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria go to the latter's home, which is decorated with countless anime and Super Sentai memorabilia. Reminded of several "parental visit" episodes of past Super Sentai series and fearing the outcome of Yumeria's mother finding out her hobby, Akagi starts hiding all of the memorabilia, only to stumble upon her collection of yaoi manga in her closet, which gets him kicked out of the apartment. Mitsuki suggests that Yumeria changes into a normal outfit to conceal her otaku identity when Masako suddenly enters the room. Everyone is further surprised when they see that she is also a cosplayer herself - known by her alias "Miyabi", and she reveals Yumeria's real name as Yuko Yamada. As the quartet go shopping in Akihabara, Yumeria reveals that today is her 24th birthday. While Akagi and Mitsuki leave mother and daughter alone for some quality time, they suddenly notice that several cafés and shops on the block have been replaced by host clubs. Upon entering a club, they once again encounter Malseena and a revived Kabukichō Mesugurohyōmonchō, who now plan to annex Akihabara into Kabukichō. Yumeria is summoned by Hiroyo to assist her comrades in battling Malseena and Mesugurohyōmonchō. Akiba Yellow is overpowered by Mesugurohyōmonchō when Masako suddenly intervenes, much to Akiba Red and Akiba Blue's surprise of seeing her in a delusional battle. She takes Yumeria's MMZ-01 unit and transforms into Akiba Yellow to brutalize the Chief Clerk before returning the transformation device to Yumeria for the Akibarangers to finish him off once and for all. Back in the real world, Yumeria reveals that Masako died in a car accident five years ago. Since then, she has celebrated her birthday with her mother in her mind, which resulted in Masako showing up in their delusion. Yumeria is grateful to her comrades that she was able to tell her mother everything she wanted to say to her. The entire café begins to celebrate her birthday when KozuKozu accidentally stumbles, causing the birthday cake to fly and hit Yumeria's face.

Take Flight Leader! The Painful Trap of Deluded PhotographyAt Himitsukichi, Akagi shows Hiroyo a package that he has to deliver to Toei's Tokyo studio, with Mitsuki tagging along the trip. On their way, they help Sayaka, who broke the heel of one of her shoes on her way back to her office. Meanwhile, Yumeria walks around town to find more ideas when she spots two men buying tickets to an idol show from a scalper, who reveals himself as the Chief Clerk Shimokitazawa Hoya. He magically pastes the tickets to his victim's foreheads to teleport them to the theatre district of Shimokitazawa. The Akibarangers engage Shimokitazawa in a small theater stage, where he and Malseena defeat them using invisible barriers, hidden mines and shadow tactics. Frustrated by the loss, Mitsuki ponders on going home, but Akagi encourages her to stick around with him in the trip so she will learn the true meaning of battle. After delivering the package at the studio, Akagi and Mitsuki sneak into TV Production Department 2, which houses all of the props and scenery used in Super Sentai episodes. There, they spot Kazuo Niibori, the "legendary hyper suit actor" who has donned the suits of 14 Super Sentai red warriors in his career. Infatuated by Niibori's kendo skill, Mitsuki approaches him to seek advice on improving herself as an Akibaranger. For the rest of the day, Niibori and his crew give her a crash course in action scenes, including having her wear a blindfold to simulate wearing a Super Sentai helmet in combat and making her aware of the camera's location. But when she receives a phone call from Hiroyo, she and Akagi enter the delusion to aid Akiba Yellow in battling Shimokitazawa once again. The Akibarangers turn the tables on Shimokitazawa and Malseena by becoming the film crew and luring the evil duo into an elementary school stage filled with unruly children. As Malseena hides in a locker, Shimokitazawa winds up in a small city ruins stage, where the Akibarangers continue to torment him when Red Hawk suddenly appears from the sky to attack the Chief Clerk. The Akibarangers throw Shimokitazawa into different stages until he reaches a warehouse fight scene where Akiba Blue uses everything she learned from Niibori on her attacks. Despite the Chief Clerk taking out the spotlight, she uses the blindfold technique to defeat him in darkness. Shimokitazawa attempts to flee back to his home district, but Red Hawk transforms into the Inordinate Power of the Jet Winger, giving Akiba Red the ability to fly and destroy the Chief Clerk once and for all. Meanwhile, with the children gone, Malseena exits the locker and spots a drawing of Hiroyo on the wall; upon taking it, a dimensional portal opens, and she walks through it. Back in the real world, Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria meet up with Mitsuki vowing to make the Akibarangers an official Sentai when they suddenly encounter Malseena in front of them. She swears to meet them again before giving her usual hand gesture to signal her Shatieeks, only to just hail a taxicab and head for Kameari. The trio attempt to chase after her when they are stopped by Akagi's boss Tazuko, who whacks Akagi with her clipboard for taking a delivery not assigned to him.

Delirious Runaway Itasher Break Through the Limit!At Himitsukichi, Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria tell Hiroyo about Malseena entering the real world. Hiroyo is further puzzled after seeing Yumeria's drawing of Malseena, which matches an illustration of her done by her father, Takehiro Tsuzuki. Later, the café receives a basket of purple flowers from Malseena's upcoming evil maid café Warukichi. Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria race to the café's location to confront Malseena, who informs them that contrary to Akagi's beliefs, she is not a figment of his imagination. She then tells them of a vampire attack at Akiba Square across the street. The trio then run to stop the vampires from harming innocent civilians. When Malseena fires at them, they change into the Akibarangers to engage her in battle. However, Mitsuki interrupts their roll call when she notices that their arch-nemesis is nowhere to be seen in the delusion. While this is going on, Malseena is seen handing freebies to people who put on vampire teeth for the act. In the delusion, the Akibarangers confront a group of Shatieeks led by Yoyogi Sujibokehashirigumo, a spider-like Chief Clerk latched on the back of a Shatieek. Using his enhanced physical abilities, Yoyogi disarms the Akibarangers of their MMZ-01 units before swallowing them, forcing the trio to summon Machine Itashar to chase after him. Meanwhile, Malseena invades Himitsukichi and knocks out KozuKozu before incapacitating Hiroyo with sleeping gas and abducting her, revealing herself to be Takehiro's creation. Impersonating Hiroyo's voice in the communicator, Malseena sets up a trap by encouraging the Akibarangers to increase their Delusion Power to catch up with Yoyogi. Back in the delusion, the Akibarangers combine their Delusion Powers to eliminate the background and focus on Yoyogi, who changes into a giant spider during the chase. Itashar Robo engages Yoyogi in battle, but the Chief Clerk traps it in a pile of virtual debris. Yoyogi drops a giant fireball for the killing blow while releasing the three MMZ-01 units. In an act of desperation, Itashar Robo punches through the wall upon contact with the MMZ-01 units, causing it to enter the real world. Yoyogi also exits the delusion, but Itashar Robo destroys him using a rifle formed out of a sign board. The Akibarangers then confront Malseena, who is holding Hiroyo hostage, but they suddenly see their normal selves before disappearing into the MMZ-01 units. Akagi, Hiroyo and Yumeria wake up from their delusion as Malseena releases Hiroyo before walking away, having completed her objective of making the Akibarangers break the wall between delusion and reality. Hiroyo tells the trio that with their delusion entering reality, they have now become real superheroes. As Malseena does not show up for a while, the trio continue to live their normal lives as they read news reports and tweets on the Akiba Square incident. Back at the café, the trio happily watch Z-Cune Aoi and the Legendary Door on Blu-ray when the phone rings and Yumeria answers it. She then informs Hiroyo that a Toei producer Hideaki Tsukada is on the other line, much to everyone's shock as KozuKozu throws a bowl of snacks in the air.

The Bonds of Painful Special Training Are the Authorization Road's Conspiracy IntersectionHiroyo picks up the phone to talk to Tsukada, who tells her the studio was intrigued by the Akibarangers' appearance in the Akiba Square incident and would like to interview them, as Itashar Robo matches the car she owns. She politely denies any involvement in the incident and hangs up, to the shock of the trio. Hiroyo explains to them that the Akibarangers' identity should remain as a secret team before she calls it a day and heads home, leaving KozuKozu in charge of the café. Later, the trio, still wanting to become an official Super Sentai, head for Toei's main office to announce themselves, only to be driven out by the security guard. They slowly begin to lose their hopes when they encounter Chief Clerk Tsukishima Alpaca and battle him in their delusion, while Malseena reveals to the viewer that she staged the fake Toei producer phone call. The Akibarangers are about to execute the Moe Magnum attack on Alpaca when Akiba Red suddenly stops his teammates, realizing that they need to bring the fight to the real world to get Tsukada's attention. Seeing that Alpaca's weak nature is holding them back, the trio have him undergo special training based on episodes of Dengeki Sentai Changeman, Juken Sentai Gekiranger, Engine Sentai Go-onger and Gekisou Sentai Carranger vs. Ohranger. Becoming impatient with the delusional battle, Malseena smokes a cigarette while watching the trio shadow boxing in the real world. This only gets her into trouble when a police officer arrests her for violating a non-smoking area. The Akibarangers succeed in making Alpaca a more capable opponent, but Akiba Yellow suddenly feels compassion over the Chief Clerk. However, they decide to give him one last fight. The trio execute the Moe Magnum, but Alpaca deflects it with his spatulas, causing a dimensional rip that throws them into the real world. Seeing themselves surrounded by the Akihabara crowd, the Akibarangers encourage them to take pictures while they unleash the Inordinate Cannon and destroy Alpaca with it. As Akiba Red and Akiba Blue watch the explosion, Akiba Yellow gives her business card to the crowd; among them is a faceless vagrant with long hair, who then passes the card to Malseena while the Akibarangers are chased off by the police officer. Meanwhile, Hiroyo spends the day investigating her father's whereabouts over the past year by visiting several companies he was involved with. She is told by his former colleague at a robotics firm that Takehiro had become obsessed with anime and started submitting his portfolio to different animation studios. She goes to Studio Bell Village, home of Z-Cune Aoi, where she discovers that Malseena was the original design for the anime's main antagonist. Takehiro was originally in charge of Z-Cune Aoi's pre-production and character designs, but was kicked out of the studio when his works started becoming violent and he had personality conflicts with the staff. Walking back home while reflecting on what she learned of her father and the MMZ-01 designs, she suddenly realises her father's true role in the group's current adventures.

The Pain Sentai DisbandsWhile looking at blog photos of their fight with Tsukishima Alpaca at Himitsukichi, Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria are shocked when Hiroyo asks for their MMZ-01 units and announces that the Akibarangers are officially disbanded. Not revealing her reasons, Hiroyo locks the devices away as KozuKozu escorts the trio out of the café. At another café, the trio talk about what to do now before Yumeria gets a call from who they think is Tsukada wanting to meet them in Toei’s Ginza office. However, citing that their MMZ-01 units are locked away regardless of Akagi insisting they be there, Malseena is shocked by the turn of events as the long-haired vagrant decides to take matters into his own hands. The next morning, having spent all night constructing a makeshift Akiba Red costume, Akagi encounters the long-haired vagrant who hands him the MMZ-01 unit, which he stole from the café's vault. With renewed hope, Akagi proceeds to pick a fight with a Chief Clerk, encountering Tsukishima’s older brother Asakusa Alpaca. In another part of town, Mitsuki and Yumeria encounter Malseena, who hands them their MMZ-01 units and tells them to go help their comrade. Having found the MMZ-01 units stolen and Akagi not responding, Hiroyo contacts Mitsuki and Yumeria to plea for the items’ return out of fear that a trap has been set. However, the two ignore the warning and join Akagi in the delusional battle, with Kozokoz unable to activate the Delusion Ejection System. This forces Hiroyo to rush to the top of a building where Akagi in an attempt to personally snap him out of the delusion, only to be punched in the face before KozuKozu discovers that the remote for the Delusion Ejection System just needs new batteries. Though the Akibarangers are brought back to reality as they about to execute the Moe Magnum attack, Asakusa manages to completely shatter the barrier separating the real world from the Delusion World. As Asakusa begins his reign of terror on the streets of Akihabara before holding Sayaka hostage and force-feeding her monjayaki, the trio discover they are unable to transform in the real world. However, intent to save Sayaka, Akagi’s imagination enables him to power up his MMZ-01 unit and transform into Akiba Red in the real world. As Hiroyo watches Akagi transform in disbelief, she suddenly feels a surge of pain within her body. After dispatching the Shatieeks, Akiba Red uses the Bouken Scooper to finish off Asakusa with the Akihabara Underground Culture Attack before he collapses in exhaustion. As Akagi's wounds are tended, the trio apologizes to Hiroyo for disobeying her, yet they wish to know what she is hiding from them. Malseena suddenly appears and reveals to them that she set up the fake Toei producer phone calls in order for her allies to now freely enter the real world. The vagrant also appears and reveals himself as Doctor Z, the true leader of the Stema Otsu Corporation. From there, further revelations are revealed that Doctor Z is Hiroyo’s father and that Hiroyo is Shuri Toyozuki, the mysterious voice actor of Z-Cune Aoi's main protagonist, Aoi Ichikawa. The trio are left in utter shock as Z promises that the best is yet to come while he and Malseena take their leave.

S01 E102012-06-08

The Painlessly Inducing Curse of Z ― Into a New ChapterAt Himitsukichi, Hiroyo shows Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria the original character illustrations of Aoi Ichikawa and Malseena done by her father. She explains to them that Takehiro was a genius who earned his doctorate at age 21 and became a top professor at 24 before marrying her mother. They divorced when the otaku spirit he tried to repress since high school made him pursue a career as an animator. After struggling for a few years, Takehiro landed his big break when Studio Bell Village approved his character designs for their project. He worked sleepless nights to create Malseena and other characters who would become the Stema Otsu Corporation's Chief Clerks. However, the studio felt his works were too dark and violent in contrast to the more popular moe and yuri styles, and after having disagreements with the chief animator, he was fired from the studio and ostracized from the industry. After returning to the field of science to pay for child support, Takehiro made a breakthrough by discovering the "Moeshinsuki Particle", a parallel universe of particles that react to electric impulses in the human brain and bring delusions into reality. Then, one day, he disappeared, along with all of his research. At around the same time, Hiroyo left college and landed a voice role under the pseudonym "Shuri Toyozuki" (an amalgamation of her real name, Hiroyo Tsuzuki). Takehiro was, at first, happy for his daughter, but he had lost all hope and turned evil when the studio hired a younger artist to re-work his original character designs into what eventually became Z-Cune Aoi. During the wrap-up party following the release of the series' final episode, Hiroyo received the three MMZ-01 units and her father's concept sketches from him, who wrote to her to use them to do good in the world. At first, she was happy that her father made the units in appreciation of her success, only to realize that they are the catalysts for his twisted goal to bring his delusions into reality. Because of this, Hiroyo wishes for the trio to be involved any further in her family matter. Reflecting on these revelations, the trio take a walk around Akihabara when they encounter a motorcyclist who saves a puppy in the middle of the street. Mitsuki and Yumeria are immediately attracted by the man, as he waves at them before leaving. Suddenly, the trio are ambushed by Delu Knight, Doctor Z's new lieutenant. Determined to take down Doctor Z's organization and help Hiroyo bring closure to her family matter, the trio transform into the Akibarangers, which suddenly unleashes a surge of pain within Hiroyo as a scorpion tattoo crawls from her chest to her throat and she starts coughing out blood. During the fight, the lieutenant reveals to them that Hiroyo is already feeling the side effects of their use of the MMZ-01 units in the real world, and the more they use them, the closer she falls to their curse. Meanwhile, at Stema Otsu Corporation's secret base, Doctor Z orders Malseena to lay off all of the 40-plus Chief Clerks, as he has no use for them, much to her dismay. After overpowering their Inordinate Cannon with his Delusion Mirage slash, Delu Knight is ordered by Doctor Z to retreat, as he prefers to continue seeing them tortured during lunch tomorrow. Back at Himitsukichi, Akagi gets a phone call from Sayaka, who thanks him for saving her from Asakusa Alpaca. The motorcyclist then enters the café and introduces himself as an Interpol agent. He reveals to them that according to Takehiro's research notes acquired by the CIA, the MMZ-01 units contain a curse in the form of the scorpion tattoo that crawled from the Malseena illustration to Hiroyo's body. The more often the MMZ-01 units are used, the closer the scorpion crawls to her throat before she loses her voice permanently. The agent then opens a metal briefcase, revealing 20 candles; 16 of them are lit, indicating the number of times the MMZ-01 can be used before the curse is complete. Lastly, as an assurance to protect them, the agent reveals himself to be Takuma Tsuzuki, Hiroyo's younger half-brother. He tells them that he will work with the Japanese police to track down the Stema Otsu Corporation. After Takuma bids them farewell, the phone rings and KozuKozu picks it up, hearing that The Pentagon wants to recruit Akagi into the United States Department of Defense due to the leadership skills he displayed in the Asakusa Alpaca incident. Akagi is very concerned about his teammates and their mission to stop Doctor Z's evil scheme, should he decide to move to the U.S., but the trio and Hiroyo come up with a great idea. The next morning, Takuma arrives at the café, playing his trumpet before introducing himself in front of everyone as the new Akiba Red.

S01 E112012-06-15

The Second Generation Is a Fresh and Painless WarriorShortly after Takuma introduces himself as the new Akiba Red, everyone at Himitsukichi bids their farewells to Akagi, who hands his MMZ-01 unit to his replacement before heading off on bicycle to The Pentagon via Atsugi Base. He calls Sayaka to bid her farewell, but she tells him that her grandfather has invited her to work at his company in Virginia, making Akagi more excited to travel to the U.S. Meanwhile, Doctor Z announces the dissolution of Stema Otsu Corporation and the birth of the Delusion Empire, much to the surprise of Malseena as Delu Knight summons the organization's first Mosoborg, Drill Cyclops. Takuma, Mitsuki and Yumeria - now wearing colored jackets, sortie out to confront Delu Knight and Drill Cyclops, despite their initial concern of triggering Hiroyo's curse with their MMZ-01 units. Meanwhile, Malseena and a Shatieek are seen walking by a park when Akagi accidentally collides with them. After a brief argument, Malseena explains the change of atmosphere in her organization and the takeover of her position by Delu Knight. Hearing this and thinking of his departure from the Akibarangers, Akagi explains that in the Super Sentai series, new villains are introduced mid-season to shake up the storyline. Then he realizes that his departure from the Akibarangers is parallel to episode 23 of Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan, and deduces that the world is a TV show and they are all characters in it. To prove his theory, he folds his Atsugi Base gate pass into a paper plane and throws it off the bridge, only for it to be picked up and thrown back to him by a police forensics expert collecting crime evidence at the river below. He then realizes that by experiencing raised stakes, plot twists and a cast member swap, the characters have triggered all of the flags of a Super Sentai mid-season. Akagi also fears that Malseena will be written out in the process. Suddenly, while Akagi begins to crumple the gate pass, an American Secret Service agent and two soldiers appear and open fire at them, killing the Shatieek while Akagi and Malseena run for cover. As they enter a tunnel, Malseena tells Akagi to rejoin his comrades while she uses herself as a shield against the soldiers. Back in the battle, Hiroyo and KozuKozu upload data on Drill Cyclops' weak point to Akiba Red, who uses it to help his comrades destroy the Mosoborg. With the help of Bouken Red and the use of Akiba Red's Surge Jaguar attack, the Akibarangers then force Delu Knight to retreat to a car park. There, they meet up with Akagi, who tells them the world they live in is a TV show called Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger. As further proof, he stops an advertisement banner scrolling on the bottom of the viewer's screen while Mitsuki and Yumeria read it aloud. He then deduces that someone from above is attempting to change Akibaranger from a nerdy parody into a full-fledged Super Sentai series, pointing out that the battles moving to the real world, Doctor Z's relation to Hiroyo, the arrival of Delu Knight, and Takuma replacing Akagi are indicators of the mid-season change. Takuma receives a text message from Interpol ordering him to return to the organization, thus confirming Akagi's theory. The lights at the café suddenly turn on and Hiroyo's curse disappears. Just as Delu Knight appears to confront his new rival, Takuma hands his MMZ-01 unit back to Akagi before speeding off on his motorcycle, leaving the Executive Director in frustration. Akagi begins to worry, as Takuma's departure has signaled the end of the mid-season change and he is unsure of what will happen next. At the Delusion Empire headquarters, a wounded Malseena tells Doctor Z that he is being manipulated by a higher power and that they must ally themselves with the Akibrangers to stop it, Z momentarily regains himself before he once more falls under the influence and orders Malseena away from his sight. Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria return to the café, now pondering on what will happen to them as someone from the production side is manipulating the show and reality for their own satisfaction.

S01 E122012-06-22

Most Painful Times. Farewell, Delusional SentaiAfter much deliberation, everyone at Himitsukichi concludes that the mastermind behind the manipulation of their reality is Saburo Hatte, the pen name synonymous with every Super Sentai series. He and the others suspect that because that as they now are aware of their existence as TV show characters, Hatte has ceased all operations of the mid-season change and now plans to cancel the show and thus destroy their world. In an attempt to keep their universe existent, they start to foreshadow a series of complex sub-plots that one episode alone could not resolve. However, Yumeria's attempt to form a relation with KozuKozu and Mitsuki's upcoming battle her high school rival Mio Usagi in three months are thwarted with KozuKozu's love confession to the former while the latter learns that Mio's recent bicycling injury has forced her out of competition. Akagi then attempts to deepen his long distance relationship sub-plot with Sayaka, learning that she has returned to Japan and became a Super Sentai fan from watching the midflight Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan movie. Meanwhile, under Hatte's influence, Doctor Z proceeds to upgrade Delu Knight into his ultimate form by removing his power limiter. Though Malshina knocks Dr. Z out in order to shut him down, Delu Knight, reactivates and kills both her and Dr. Z in a take over of the Delusion Empire. Motivated by Hatte, Delu Knight takes Sakaya hostage to call out Akagi to an abandoned warehouse. Knowing it is a set up, the Akibarangers succeed in rescuing Sayaka at an abandoned warehouse before evading any attempts by Delu Knight to make their confrontation the final battle, including covering their ears to prevent any more flags to be triggered after the villain reveals that he disposed of Doctor Z and Malseena. Demanding a final battle with Akiba Red while damaging himself to make it fair to his opponent, Delu Knight refuses accept Akiba Red's request to wait six months for their duel. A furious Delu Knight then charges at them, only to be shot in the chest by Doctor Z and Malseena, the latter revealing her gun only works on bloodless monsters. Knowing the truth, Doctor Z encourages the Akibraangers to fight before once more falling under Hatte's control and summons the giant robot Boomerang Titan. As the Akibarangers and Malseena leave the collapsing warehouse, Doctor Z revives Delu Knight to pilot Boomerang Titan in wreaking havoc. Though Akibarangers see this as another flag for a final episode yet would not actually happen as they do not have giant robot of their own, Machine Itashar appears and transforms into a giant Itashar Robo that grabs the Akibarangers to engage in battle with Boomerang Titan. In an attempt to stop the fight, Akiba Red destroys Itashar Robo with its own missiles. However, as Boomerang Titan is about to squash Akiba Red, Akiba Yellow throws a soda can that sends one of the flying boomerangs back to the mecha, resulting in Boomerang Titan being destroyed by its own weapons with Delu Knight consumed in the explosion. Akiba Red rushes to save Doctor Z before the mecha's severed head falls on him to prevent another possible ending. As Sayaka and the crowd run to the Akibarangers and surround them to thank them for saving their lives, Doctor Z walks away while the trio make a mad dash away from the crowd. The trio arrive at the café to see Doctor Z and Hiroyo confront each other. Doctor Z gives up his evil ways and asks his daughter for forgiveness, but Hiroyo refuses, knowing this will trigger the flag for a family reunion ending. The trio convince her to come to terms with this end before she runs and embraces her father. Akagi, Mitsuki, and Yumeria then leave the café to face Malseena ― now the leader of the reformed Stema Otsu Corporation ― and her Shatieeks in a final epic battle that they play to keep going for six months. However, while fighting her and the Shaticks, the Akibarangers and Malseena find themselves joining forces to face the giant "The End" (オワリ Owari) sign before Hatte arrives in person to slap the viewer's screen shut, putting an abrupt end to the series.

Evaluation Meeting! If You Don't Hurt, That's Alright!In the aftermath of the previous episode, the Akibarangers' powers are taken away by Saburo Hatte. A few days later, while returning to everyday life, the Himitsukichi gang receive a message from Hatte to watch the enclosed DVD and reflect on what they did wrong during the past 12 episodes if they want a second season. Watching the first six episodes, the Akibarangers and Hiroyo make comments throughout the recap of each episode while the Narrator provides "Unofficial Arsenal File" segments between the eyecatches that explain the Akibarangers' arsenal and Inordinate Powers. While watching episodes seven to eleven, Mitsuki and Yumeria realize that Akagi destroyed the series by realizing their reality was a TV show and disrupted the series storyline. But Akagi counters their argument by claiming that Hatte selected him to be the main character in the first place and that the series creator is projecting blame. By the time they reach the 12th episode, Akagi realizes that Hatte tricked them into enacting a recap episode and stops the DVD. With only a few minutes of airtime left, the gang decide to use fan service to appease the viewers. Yumeria has an idea, rushing the others into the café's closet while Hiroyo entertains the viewer by singing the Z-Cune Aoi theme song "Heroic Lily". The trio return to the café in the Akibaranger outfits Yumeria and Hiroyo made to perform a helmet-less roll call, then they thank the viewers for watching, urging them to send their feedback to Toei for a chance to have a second season. Akagi then starts babbling about possible sub-plots for a second season before a giant "The End" sign fills the screen.
