Scans of the latest Figure-Oh Magazine, #181 have just hit and with them we get more looks at Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2! These images show off the new Akibaranger costumes in all their glory, noting the differences from the original suits to these new updates.

Also included in these scans are multiple images of the new trio of S.H. Figuarts Akibarangers which give us a better look at Cho Akibared as well as the new hairstyles for Yellow and Blue. A brief snippet on the side of the Season 1 recap page even gives us 2 new images of S.H. Figuarts Delu Knight and confirms his release in July for 3675 yen!

Last but not least is a pair of new images from Super Hero Taisen Z! One showing Wizard, Beast, and Goaki Silver facing off against Sharivan! And the other showing off more of the Space Shocker elite, the new buddyroid Chisato, as well as Gokai Silver disguised (or brainwashed?) as a Shocker Soldier!

If you recall about a week ago we ran a story featuring some rumors on the as of yet unconfirmed Akibaranger Season 2. Well we’ve discovered some more new info but file this story under rumor as well.

The same reliable 2ch poster that brought us the original news of Season 2 has let out information that the season will begin in April. And that Zukun Lab, the animation studio responsible for the shows CG, has already begun work on the new season! IF this turns out to be true that means we are now only 6 months away from a new season, and perhaps only a month or more away form the reveal of that season officially. Of course with it being April, this could become one GIANT April Fool’s Joke. True or not this rumor is sure to excite fans of the series. Join the discussion and let us know what you think.
