If you thought the delusional adventures were over then it’s time to think again! Well maybe. Ryuta Tasaki, the director behind Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger, has announced that he’s currently in negotiations for a third season of the critical and commercial hit series for 2015! It still may not happen, but it’s a definite possibility now if the negotiations with Toei go well.

The biggest surprise is that if Season 3 happens he’d like to introduce a 4th Akibaranger! It was an idea tossed around during  Season 2 that never materialized but it’s very likely to happen if Season 3 is put into production! No word yet on why they’d be skipping a 2014 production but time will tell as the negotiations move along.

The special Super Sentai section of Bandai’s Tamashii website has just opened a page advertising the forthcoming DX MMZ-02, weapon of Super Akiba Red in season 2 of Akibaranger.

The page features images of the weapon in its various mode, including a size chart and combination with the previously released MMZ-01 Moe Moe Z-Cune. There is also a video advertising the item, which we’ve linked for you below;

The MMZ-02 will be released in September, priced 15,750 yen. Check out the full sized images after the jump!

Previously speculated but now confirmed, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 will only run for 13 episodes. Listings have just gone up at CD Japan for the Blu-Ray release of the series. The description for volume 4 sadly confirms that much like Akibaranger Season 1 there will only be 13 episodes.

However don’t be too sad. Season 1 ran for 13 episodes but garnered love from fans all over the world, the series was a commercial and critical success. Fans demanded more and the show returned for it’s triumphant 2nd Season , which is already shaping up to be the same kind of success. In this writer’s (and fan’s) opinion this series may continue this formula if there are further installments after this year. It’s been successful doing so thus far, so why change things up now?

This Saturday April 6th will see the return of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger for our viewing pleasure! To prepare us for this some new magazine scans are making the rounds featuring the various characters of the new season including Malsheena in her new powered up form, new villian General Two, and of coursethe Akibarangers themselves and their new looks!

We also have looks at the toy merchandise that will be released under the Akibaranger banner. New S.H.Figuarts for each of the Akibarangers & Delu-Knight included. And just as suspected the Japanese releases of S.H.Figuarts Tyranno Ranger and S.H. Figuarts Dragon Ranger will indeed be tied to Akibaranger! Let speculation run wild but this more than likely means we’ll be seeing some more Akibaranger themed accessories with these characters like Red Hawk and others from Season 1!

While we are getting a new Akibablue for the second season of Akibaranger, actress Kyoko Hinami who portrays Mitsuki Aygoi via her Twitter feed confirmed that she will be appearing at some point in season 2!

It is currently not known in what capacity she’ll be appearing or even if she’ll be transforming.

The official press conference for Akibaranger season 2 has just happened in Japan and thanks to both Tokunation member DrillBIT and DecaEnd of Henshin Justice Unlimited we bring you a full run down of what was revealed!

It’s been roughly 9 months since season one. Akagi is back to his old habits, spending his days working as deliveryman with no joy. One day he walks past a shop specializing in Sentai toys. He enters and sees that the MMZ-01 is being sold as an official toy called the DX AkibaLaser! Did the Akibarangers turn into official heroes without knowing it themselves? What could this possibly mean? Could something have happened to the real official heroes!?

Meanwhile, Luna Iwashimizu, a schoolgirl who hopes to become an idol has been appointed as the new Akiba Blue, as Mitsuki has left to pursue her martial arts training. Yumeria returns as Akiba Yellow, but no longer works as a business woman.

The new villain this time is General Two (played by Ryo Horikawa), who leads the “New Dimensional Intellect Remodeling Underground True Empire of Baros lol” (新次元頭脳改造地下真帝国バロスｗ, baros and ‘w’ are both very similar to the English lol). The name is a combination of the villain organizations from Bioman, Jetman, Flashman, Maskman and Dynaman.

General Two is middle-aged Sentai villain fanboy. His favourite is General Kar from Dynaman, basing both his name and suit on him. He creates figures of monsters and sends the into Delusion World. Malshina seems to have joined the True Empire of Baros lol, and uses a Moya Moya Z-Cune.

Some further tidbits from the conference include:

  • For some reason Nobuo can’t transform with the regular MMZ-01
  • A Machine Itassher toy was in the cafe.
  • The weapons Akibaranger’s used have been made into toys, DX AkibaLaser (MMZ-01) and DX MeteorCannon (Inordinate Cannon).
  • The new Blue, Luna Iwashimizu, was cosplaying as Akiba Blue.
  • Malshina was shown taking a bath as someone calls her through a device that looks very similar to the MMZ-01.
  • She says Evil Delusion (jamousou) and transforms. But all it does is add a helmet and changes her clothes.
  • Some old monsters from season one are back.
  • Yu Kamio (Kiyoto Maki/Dinosaur Greeed) will be in season two.
  • Some past rangers that were shown: Tyranno Ranger, Blue Swallow, Deka Yellow, Bouken Pink, Black Condor, Dragon Ranger and Kibaranger.

The new opening theme is named “Akibaranger Season Two” and is sung by Haruko Momoi, Yukio Yamagata and MoJo.
