Akibaranger Season 2 Episode 5: "Delusional Imports" Discussion
 

Rofl, their accents... I seriously could not.

I just about lost it when Nobuo started playing the zyusouken.

The Powerful Rangers and their ridiculous English are my new favouritest things ever.

Moral of the story today: Zyusoken is the remedy for all things big and small.

I just realized Kusao Takeshi who did the voice for Dragonranger was the voice of Billy a.k.a. MMPR Blue in the Japanese dub of the MMPR Movie.

Been watching Akibaranger from season 1 up to now...Became a big fan and all I can say is...

SO AWESOME!!!

I love the highly over exaggerated American accent.

Is Luna quitting going to be the running gag for this season? I'm kinda getting the sense Toei's trying to make her a Scrappy archetype.

I also wonder what the overall plan with removing older Sentais and replacing them with Akibaranger. I guess I'll have to wait and see to find out. Should be a fun ride on the way there.

The way they protrayed the Powerful Rangers.

I wonder if they were also making jabs at the Power Rangers fandom?:lol

Love how they even added the helmut clips to the Powerful Rangers' outfits.

This was great. This season just keeps getting better.

I might not like this show, but seeing Tommy and Jason beat the living shit out of the two Akibarangers I hate was a lot of fun. More of that please!

I felt incredibly offended by this episode... At the same time i laughed my ass off.

I was offended by this ep quite a bit as well, but it was so freaking over the top that I couldn't stay mad at it. :P

I LOVED this episode. Poking fun at hardcore Power Ranger fans? I just cracked up over the Powerful Rangers. The broken english, the silly flags, Gaoranger being a knockoff! Another brilliant one from AKiba. :lol

Hilarious to see the monster mistake the Powerful Rangers as Abarangers too. I know it was programmed for Abarangers but still. And the gigantic Dino Buckler is the best powerup they've had so far! I love the new penultimate powers this season.

And dat cover of Girls In Trouble. My god that was good.

The Powerful Rangers are hilarious. Say, isn't this the first time there was No Morphs Allowed while they were in the Delusion World? I guess it's becoming more immersive...
I like how Nobuo and I have similar taste in Juuranger songs. :p
So, based on that commercial with all those Figuarts, the 3rd series to get tribute in this season will be Hurricaneger?

Looks like it.

This has become my new favorite Akiba episode, which was previously held by the fourth episode of Season 1. There is no amount of awesome that I can state did not come from this episode.

Curious though, is the weapon going to come with one of the Zyu Figuarts or AkibaRed 2?

To be honest, that isn't surprising since AbaRanger would have been the first Sentai series to use Dinosaurs due to ZyuRanger being wiped out of existence.

I think it was implied that Dr. Tsu knew about Juuranger still. And wasn't it pretty much implied in episodes 2 and 3 that all main characters that aren't Luna aren't affected by whichever show being erased from existence?

True.

Random things: Did I see Akared at the end of the credits?
MMPR Red and Green really are teenagers with attitude.
Kimberly is gonna kill Tommy. On so many levels.
I should feel offended as hell, but it's so hilarious, I cannot resist laughing so hard!...
Silly people, Wild Force was the 10th series, not the 8th; did Dairanger get wiped out. Again?
Finally, super steroid comic books. Like we actually have!

Oh the lulz. Akibaranger keeps getting funnier.

This episode was easily one of the best in this show. The perverted jokes are starting to feel like a bit much for this season, but that paperback Sentai bible was amazing.

I forgot to comment on this episode, I have to agree its been the best so far - possibly the best to come out of the whole of Akibaranger :lol

I must admit it was cool seeing Koichi Sakamoto as Spielburton.

MMPR
Zeo
Turbo
Space
Galaxy
LSR
Time
Wild

Yeah, they obviously only counted MMPR as 1 show rather than 3 seasons.
