While waiting in a line for food, General Tsuu gets into a fight with the Yuru Chara mascot Yuru Sanae and loses horribly. The lost inspires General Tsuu to use Yuru Sanae as the mofit of his next monster. While taking, the Akibarangers encounter a mascot character distributing suspicious flyers and watch her turn some nasty children into items they hate. Transforming to fight in the Delusion World, Akiba Red recognizes their opponent as a Jigen Beast. Introducing herself, Yuru-Chara Jigen uses her cuteness to catch Akiba Red off guard while overwhelming Akiba Blue and Akiba Yellow. But before she could finish them off, Yuru-Chara Jigen finds herself fighting a delusion of idol singer Choco-tan the Akibarangers unconsciously conjured. However, at the last second, Akiba Red instinctively protects Yuru-Chara Jigen as she turns Choco-tan into okra before running off with Malseena. Once back in their reality, the Akibarangers are horrified to find Choco-tan turned into an Oneeder with even General Tsuu surprised at the turn of events. Feeling guilty about Choco-Tan, Akagi reveals he has a thing for smooth and shiny robot girls ever since watching Colon in episode 13 of Choujuu Sentai Liveman. After a failed attempt to have Akagi overcome his weakness, Hiroyo formulates a scheme and calls him back to enact it. Though the scheme involved putting a bag over her head, Yuru-Chara Jigen burns it off and gets the upper hand before paying Super Sentai narrator Nobuo Tanaka to deliver a moving narration to inspire Akiba Red. On cue, Akiba Red assumes his Super Akiba Red form and combines the Munyu Munyu Zubaaan with his Moe Moe Z-Cune to form the Munyu Moe Zubakyuuun to fatally wound Yuru-Chara Jigen. Before the Jigen Beast dies in a blaze, Akiba Red reveals that he managed to fight her because he had covered his visor the entire time. Back to reality, Choco-tan returns to normal as Malseena informs General Tsuu that Yuru-Chara Jigen was defeated. Realizing the effect his monsters have in reality, General Tsuu decides to use this fact to achieve his ultimate goals by bringing out an old project of his.

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, who designed the MMZ-01. 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.

At 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.

Morita suddenly appears in his eccentric behavior, giving her his scarf and kissing her unconsciously. He ran away the moment he realized what he had just done. Hagu was quite shocked after that and she got a fever which, according to Professor Hanamoto, is often caused to her by stress. Professor Hanamoto told Takemoto about Hagu's uncomfortable feelings while going out with Morita last time, and he said she did not realize that was because she liked him. Takemoto, feeling depressed, comes back home, finding the person responsible for summoning Morita to work, who is seen breaking into Morita's overly secured room. The room shockingly resembled that of a master control room. This mysterious person then finds Morita's passport, in order to be delivered to the airport.

However, Akagi is shocked upon researching about Zyuranger just to find that somehow its origin is listed to be from the United States instead of Japan, under the name Powerful Rangers. Soon after, with her and a group of Oneeders posing as a group of monks, Malseena appears and hands out pictures of Sentai villain actresses during dress rehearsals. Attempting to fight Malseena in the Delusion World, the Akibarangers finds themselves attacked by an "Americanized" Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger, forcing Hiroyo to have them retreat. Back at Himitsukichi, KozuKozu informs the others that somehow reality has been written that Powerful Rangers is the source of Super Sentai franchise instead of the other way, with Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger the first entry yet the source of a major copyright infringement as it made from its American version without permission. Despite browsing though several shops in Akihabara to confirm the reality change, with Luna amazed of their passion, Akagi and Yumeria learn that restoring the Zyuranger brothers is the only way to restore things. However, with Akiba Blue standing on the sidelines, Akiba Red and Akiba Yellow are outmatched against Maleseena, the Zyuranger brothers, and the Trinoid Kunimasmaphogany. Luckily, despite the beating they take from the brothers, Akagi and Yumeria reach Tyranno Ranger and Dragon Ranger by mentioning some facts about their series and with Akagi restoring them with a toy replica of Zyusouken. Malseena falls back as Zyurangers entrust the Akibarangers with the Zyuran Buckler, which they use to finish Kunimasmaphogany. Upon return to reality, the Akibarangers learn that the history of the Super Sentai was once again restored and Luna decides to stay in the team as it may help with her idol career.

The night of the Christmas party comes, and everyone has a good time. Mayama arrives late, and the party has become a little crazy.

Yamada visits Hagu again, but Professor Hanamoto took Hagu to do a contrast bath therapy session after her physical therapy session. The physical therapist tells Yamada that Hagu is strong person, never giving up because of feeling pain. However, it is possible that Hagu may never be able to paint again, due to her condition.

With the Akibarangers having a hard time defending themselves against Kiba Ranger, Malseena appears before them, much to their surprise, claiming that following her defeat, she was brought back to life by the "New Dimensional Intellect Remodeling Underground True Empire Baros lol" after her body was trapped in the Arctic, but she fails to convince Akagi and Yumeria with such an absurd story. Malseena then retreats and Kiba Ranger leaves soon after, swearing to return and bring them down for good in their next encounter. Back to reality, the Akibarangers learn from KozuKozu's research about Gosei Sentai Akibaranger on the wikipedia that this series was the biggest commercial failure in the Super Sentai history, lasting for only 13 episodes. Akagi then realizes that Kiba Ranger was meant to be introduced later in the show, but it was not possible with its early cancellation, explaining his anger at them. Meanwhile, Malseena complains with her new employer, General Tsuu about her obviously false explanation for her return concocted by him, which he claims to be inspired by the character of Queen Hedrian, a villain that was defeated in Denshi Sentai Denziman and later revived in the following series Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan. While General Tsuu sends the Chief Editor HVD to assist Malseena and Kiba Ranger, Akagi and the others come with a plan to have the Dairangers remember their true selves. Once returning to the Delusion World, the Akibarangers kidnap China Red to have him watch a poorly executed reenactment of Dairanger's opening clip made by them, just to be forced to flee after Malseena and the others appear. Once away from the enemy, Akagi manages to have Ryu Ranger remember himself and return to normal after reenacting one of his most famous scenes from Dairanger, and Yumeria does the same with Kiba Ranger once he appears to confront them. HVD comes soon after to fight them just to be defeated once the two Dairangers entrust the Akibarangers with their Inordinate Power, the Dairen Bomber, which they use to finish him. While celebrating their victory, Akagi and the others wonder about the real intentions of their new enemies, but much to their shock, Luna expresses her will to quit the team as she knows it will not be of any help with her career.
Evaluation Meeting! If You Don't Hurt, That's Alright!
In further explaining to the Akibarangers that their fight was a mere delusion, Hiroyo plays a security camera recording that shows the trio pretending to fight invisible opponents on the street while the police storm into the maid café to arrest those who attempted to shut down the establishment. Distraught by this revelation, Akagi leaves Himitsukichi and mopes along a car park, where he sees Ryuji Sainei, who on his way to an event promoting the Japanese language dub of Power Rangers S.P.D. Their passionate meeting is yet another grand delusion, but Ryuji notices Akagi and thanks him for continuing to support him and Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger. Meanwhile, Mitsuki and Yumeria head to Otamix to buy some Aoi merchandise when they see a group of otaku running to a back alley to get their hands on an upcoming Aoi DVD release. But from their perspective, the duo discover that this is yet another villainous scheme by Malseena, who uses bootleg DVDs and peel-away bubble sheet stickers to magically strip nerds of their clothing. They decide to ignore this incident, but Malseena forces them to fight with the Sub-Chief Clerk Shibuya Kouzorinahigenagaaburamushi. During the battle, the Sub-Chief Clerk reveals to the duo that Akihabara's otaku culture is an embarrassment to Japan and his organization is out to destroy the district and turn it into another Shibuya. Akagi is called in to assist his comrades, but he declines the order. Just as Akiba Blue and Akiba Yellow are about to be defeated, Hiroyo shuts down the delusion as an emergency precaution, warning them that another shutdown may permanently remove their delusions. They also discover through a news channel that Akihabara is in fear of a takeover by bootleggers, though their delusion has the Stema Otsu Corporation as the cause. By that time, Hiroyo hired a suit actor to pose as Deka Red and convince Akagi not to give up being a Akibaranger. An encouraged Akagi returns to Himitsukichi and regroups with the team before Hiroyo hands them the keys to the Machine Itashar. The Akibarangers manage to transform the Itashar into Itashar Robo to bypass traffic on their way to battle Malseena and her troops, but the robot abandons them due to their delusions not being strong enough for a robot battle. As they battle Shibuya, the "real" Deka Red suddenly appears to assist them before transforming into Deka Wapper, the Dekarangers' Inordinate Power. Akiba Red traps the Sub-Chief Clerk with the Deka Wapper before the trio finish him off with the Moe Magnum attack. All is well back at Himitsukichi, as Akagi is happy to have partnered with Deka Red in his delusion while police have arrested the real masterminds of the media piracy epidemic. Hiroyo, on the other hand, ponders on how the real Deka Red showed up in their delusion.
After Hiroyo fails to convince Luna not to quit the Akibarangers, learning of her manager Tojo while unintentionally ruining the video Luna was going to post on Nico Nico Tube, Akagi finally learns that Yumeria has married into the Yokoyama family yet is keeping her otaku lifestyle under wraps as new mother-in-law Yasuko insists it to be an embarrassment to the family. While looking to get over the building angst, Akagi finds a strange man disguised as a priest who uses his powers to remodel all Z-Cune Aoi merchandise nearby to assume a darker and edgier appearance much to her fans' despair. Upon realizing that the man in question is another Baros lol monster, Akagi confronts the exposed Machine Lifeform Smapho Monger in the Delusion World. Enough though dealing with a Sun Vulcan monster could set him at ease as Akiba Yellow joins the fray, Akiba Red's angst gets worse when Malseena arrives with her own Moe Moe Z-Cune-esque device, the "MMZ-00 Moya Moya Z-Cune". With Akiba Red giving her the notion, Malseena uses the MMZ-00 to transform and overwhelms the two Akibarangers while having Smapho Monger give spoilers on the upcoming "Z-Cune Aoi" movie. Akagi and Yumeria are forced to retreat, and the effects of the dark changes in Z-Cune Aoi keeps spreading to the point of affecting the entire franchise to the point of being a short lived series with Hiroyo effected as she ends up on the verge of bankruptcy. With Akagi desolated by the fate of his favourite anime series, Yumeria is instructed to keep her delusion strong by drawing her manga and taking a disguised Akagi to the Yokoyama mansion to distract Yasuko. Once finishing her manga, Yumeria reveals it to be a Z-Cune Aoi dōjinshi created specially for Akagi in which Aoi admits her feelings for him. Reading the dōjinshi rekindles Akagi's passion as he returns to battle with a renewed spirit, with him and Yumeria surprised to find Luna joining them. Though overpowered, Akiba Red refuses to give up as the boost that Yumeria's dōjinshi gave him allowed him to manifest the Munyu Munyu Zubaaan to transform himself into Super Akiba Red and restore the Z-Cune Aoi franchise before destroying Smapho Monger. Once returning to reality, Akagi and Yumeria are surprised to know that not only Yasuko was aware of what they were doing all the time, but she approves her daughter-in-law's hobby after seeing first hand while revealing herself to be both an anime otaku and singer.

... ...Toki ga sugite, nani mo kamo ga omoide ni naru hi wa kitto kuru / Hachimitsu to kurōbā to

Calling Hiroyo about the Akibaranger merchandise he just saw at the toy store, Akagi finds a strange salesman offering a suspicious merchandise who is revealed to be a monster named Chief Clerk Blu-Ray. Akagi confronts him as Akiba Red but he finds himself overpowered by the monster and sent flying backwards, crashing into Ryu Ranger of the Dairangers, who believes to be China Red of the mascot team "Chūka Sentai Chinaman" sporting a similar design to Dairanger's pre-production form. Akiba Red finds himself into a confusion with it until Blu-Ray finds them, and Hiroyo manages to get Akagi out of the delusion just as he realizes that the Dairangers had indeed lost their official status. Akagi then heads to the karaoke bar with Hiroyo and KozuKozu to confirm his suspicions, unknowingly crossing paths with the man behind it. Believing that things may return to normal with Blu-Ray's defeat, the trio decides to have the Akibarangers reassembled. However, Yumeria still has not returned and Mitsuki cannot be contacted, and upon coming across Luna Iwashimizu, an aspiring idol and Akibaranger fan, they recruit her as the new Akiba Blue. As she believes it is all part of a TV show, right down to the transformation into a redesigned Akiba Blue costume, Luna joins Akagi against Blu-Ray and overwhelms him until he sicks the disturbing Oneeders on the two Akibrangers. However, Yumeria returns soon after from her business trip and joins the others as a newly designed Akiba Yellow. Despite an out of synch introduction with Luna's terminology of their arsenal, the Akibarangers manage to defeat Blu-Ray with the Inordinate Cannon. However, Ryu Ranger does not return to normal and the Akibarangers realize that something else is behind the Dairangers' demotion to unofficial status, and things get even worse when Kiba Ranger appears and attacks them claiming that he has a score to settle with them.

Hiroyo 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. Running 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 pulls her out of the premises 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 Aois 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 starts to realize that Takehiro is the true mastermind behind the Stema Otsu Corporation.

Bailed out to the real world, the Akibarangers are informed by Hiroyo that the entire Super Sentai Series franchise was altered to become the "Super Malseena Series" instead, with each series ending with the Sentai heroes defeated by the villains led by Malseena, transforming Himitsukichi into a memorial service for them. Akagi and the others then return to face her in the Delusional World, where she finally has them remember what really happened during the first season. She also reveals that by reaching Saburo Hatte's dimension, she managed to inspire him to create a second season for the series, but she got angry upon losing her position as the main villain once again with the advent of General Tsuu, and after disposing of him, she used the knowledge she obtained to assume control of all the Super Sentai villains and defeat the official heroes. Upon being offered a chance to become her eternal enemies and fight her indefinitely just like she promised them in the end of the first season, the Akibarangers refuse and Delu Knight fights them instead. However, even after Delu Knight triggers several defeat flags by Malseena's request, the unofficial heroes fail to defeat him with the Inordinate Cannon Bazooka and are forced to flee. Recognizing that Malseena is now invincible, the Akibarangers give up on fighting her. Meanwhile in his reality, Saburo Hatte finds himself in a critical state and Malseena attempts to save him, fearing what may happen should he dies. A hopeless Akagi shuts himself in his closet until he learns that Yumeria and Luna returned to confront Delu Knight, but he proves to be too strong for them. However, Akiba Red figures out Malseena's trick and joins the fight, triggering several defeat flags that instead of leading to his downfall, allow him to triumph over Delu Knight, as he realized that by Malseena's influence, the effect of victory and defeat flags in the Delusional World were reversed. As the Akibarangers prepare themselves to the final battle against Malseena, KozuKozu watches in shock as Hiroyo suffers a strange transformation in front of her.

While 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 Aois 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.

Takemoto meets with Professor Hanamoto and a businessman. The businessman offers Takemoto a job, and Takemoto quickly accepts the job.

Meanwhile, the Tottori firm joins back with the Tokyo firm, resulting in some unfinished work in the Fujiwara Design Office.

Morita, Mayama, and Professor Hanamoto set out to look for Takemoto. Takemoto seems to fear what his future will turn out to be.
Mayama dreams of Rika. One of his co-workers, Miwako Teshigawara, says that when one dreams of another, it is because the person in the dream wants them to meet so much that the soul escapes the body and comes to the dream. Mayama was in doubt about that, but on the way back home from a meeting, he and his other co-workers, Takumi Nomiya and Kazushi Yamazaki, passed by a park where Rika was just behind a fountain watching him passing by. Mayama didn't notice until later on. However, when he ran back to the fountain, she was not there anymore. Later, everyone at Mayama's workplace began talking about Rika's deceased husband, seemingly making Mayama realize that he was the only one who did not know Rika's husband personally.

Akagi 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 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.

During their search for General Tsuu, the Akibarangers finally manage to find his van when they run into General Tsuu's creation: Time Kenma Mutoumushite. Ending up in the Delusion World where they find General Tsuu, the Akibarangers learn that Mutoumushite uses the techniques of official Super Sentai villains like Adjutant Buba from Dengeki Sentai Changeman. After General Tsuu places Malseena in an arcyllic box akin to Princess Ial's punishment in Hikari Sentai Maskman for her constant defiance, the Akibarangers are bailed back to reality due to being overpowered by Mutoumushite. Luckily, the Akibaranger gets lead in their search for General Tsuu through a coupon that Luna found after it fell from the villian's clothes. Arriving to the Sauna Tokyo Dome and finding the van there, the Akibarangers follow a man with scars on his back before learning he is not General Tsuu but the Super Sentai series's veteran stunt actor Yoshinori Okamoto. Questioning Okamoto about General Tsuu, they learn that he was hired by him to perform as the Super Sentai villains he portrayed using motion capture technology, which explains Mutoumushite's fighting style. As Okamoto leaves, telling them his ideals on of how villains must be portrayed beautifully in their final battles, the Akibarangers confront Mutoumushite as Super Akiba Red engages him in an reenactment of the epic duel in Changeman episode 52 to take advantage of Mutoumushite's inherited love to die a beautiful death. Watching Mutoumushite being destroyed by the Akibarangers' Inordinate Bazooka, General Tsuu vows revenge as he flees with the still frozen Malseena. Back to reality, Akagi and the girls thank Okamoto for his help as he gives them General Tsuu's business card to track him down. Meanwhile, the mysterious patient is watching an episode of Boukenger.

Takemoto, Morita, Mayama, and Professor Hanamoto all reminisce about Lohmeyer, a friend of theirs. In a flashback, it is revealed that he is a large, bulky guy, and known for his generosity and his kindness. He brings tons of meat to them, as the four happily ask for more. Until one day, Lohmeyer disappears, leaving the four in major depression and sorrow. In the present, Takemoto and Mayama go to an amusement park. Mayama explains the history and design of the amusement park as well as its mascot, leaving Takemoto in total shock. The suit of the mascot, ironically, was worn by Lohmeyer at the time. Mayama says that Lohmeyer as the mascot attracted many of the adults more than the children, because of his personality. Takemoto then wonders about Lohmeyer as the mascot of the amusement park. However, Takemoto, Hagu, Mayama, and Yamada are surprised to discover that Morita is the new wearer of the suit of the mascot.

Still curious as to how the real Deka Red appeared in the Akibarangers' delusion, Hiroyo calls up Akagi, who tells her he is drinking with friends at a night club. Shortly after the phone conversation, Akagi bumps into Sayaka, who tells him she is meeting up with her friends inside. His hopes for scoring a date with her are boosted when he hears in her conversation with her friends that she does not have a boyfriend, which causes him to order an extra pitcher of beer at his table. Later that night, a drunk Akagi and his friends spot a maid being harassed by a man they believe is recruiting her to become a hostess; in his delusion, the man is yet another Chief Clerk named Kabukichō Mesugurohyōmonchō who orders his Shatieeks to abduct all of the maids on the street. Akagi transforms into Akiba Red and engages the enemies, with his teammates joining him shortly. Just after Mesugurohyōmonchō reveals the nature of his mission and Akiba Yellow suddenly falls in love with him, Akiba Red summons Bouken Red "Good Luck Form" to battle, much to Hiroyo's surprise. The combined attacks of Akiba Red and Bouken Red force the Chief Clerk to retreat, while Akagi returns to the real world, still drunk and surrounded by people taking pictures of him. The next morning, with Yumeria cosplaying as a blue-haired elementary school boy, Hiroyo explains to the trio that Akagi's delusions were amplified by his alcohol intake. Thus, both Akagi and Yumeria proceed to drink sake while Mitsuki, not able to drink due to her age, leaves the cafe after being taunted on for her lack of Super Sentai knowledge. After the café closes, a very drunk Akagi and Yumeria find Mitsuki as she came out of a video café before they encounter Kabukichō, who attempts to abduct Mitsuki. Upon changing into the Akibarangers, they discover a cage with five women – including Sayaka - locked inside. Akiba Red rushes to break the cage and free the hostages, but is caught off-guard when "Sayaka" reveals herself to be Malseena and shoots him before Kabukichō pins him down in a homoerotic way. Revealed to be a fujoshi, Akiba Yellow goes moe over the scene before fainting. Though Akiba Blue frees him, Akiba Red repeatedly falls for Malseena posing as Sayaka and ends up being homoerotically pinned down again. Akiba Blue asks Hiroyo to shut down the delusion to get her comrades sobered up, but with Hiroyo herself drunk, decides to attack Malseena by herself while saying various lines from GoGo Sentai Boukenger. Akiba Red and Akiba Yellow begin to realize that while they were out drinking, Mitsuki spent her time watching Boukenger at the video café; this enables the two to sober up. Once again, Bouken Red is summoned in battle, and he grants Akiba Blue the Inordinate Power of the Bouken Scooper to bury Mesugurohyōmonchō in the ground before the trio finishes him off with the Moe Magnum. The trio returns to the real world with Akagi and Yumeria vomiting heavily from their drunkenness. The next morning at the café, after Akagi and Yumeria's night of vomiting hangover, they and Hiroyo apologize to Mitsuki and promise to never drink again. However, Mitsuki announces that she is leaving the group as of tomorrow, leaving the café much to everyone's dismay.

Professor Hanamoto is offered to travel with his old teacher for one year to gather research and survey material for a new book, and offers to bring Hagu along for the trip. Hagu refuses, stating she won't be lonely because she now has friends, which is a stark contrast to Professor Hanamoto's recollection of Hagu's life prior to coming to the art school. Meanwhile, Mayama bids Rika farewell when she learns he has been hired and started working at the Fujiwara Design Office, promising he would be back one day. Before Professor Hanamoto's farewell party, Hagu tries to find a four-leaf clover to give Professor Hanamoto as a good luck charm, to which everyone coincidentally passes by and helps out to find. Ultimately, they are unsuccessful, although Professor Hanamoto's appreciates the effort and Takemoto cherishes the memory of that day.

At 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" . 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.

While discussing about Baros lol's true intentions, the Akibarangers come across a girl in an angel costume who eats the Otaku hearts of some people, getting them rid of their nerdiness. Realizing that she is in fact another enemy, Akagi and the girls confront her, and she reveals herself as the Space Ninja Hadezukin. Proclaiming herself as Jakanja's Tenth Dark Spear, Haduzin reveals she ate the Justice-loving hearts of the Gouraigers to convert Kabuto Raiger and Kuwaga Raiger into Jakanja's Eighth Dark Spear Uransudo and Nineth Dark Spear Poseidom to fight with her as the Ninchu Sentai Jakanger. The Jakangers prove themselves too strong for the Akibarangers and they are forced to bail out. Back to reality, it is revealed that the Jakangers' Dark Spear membership added three new days in the week. This causing several issues in the human world such as the reduced number of Sentai episodes and the first two additional days having Otaku activity and merchandise is banned. During the third day, the police start arresting cosplayers with Akagi and Luna helping Yumeria out. While escaping from the police, General Tsuu ends up meeting the Akibarangers and learns their secret when confronted by Hadezukin, realizing he can use his Moya Moya Z-Cune to enter the Delusional World. As General Tsuu arrives to watch the Jakangers confronting them, the Akibarangers desperately try to return the Gouraigers to normal with ninja attacks used by previous Sentai. As the Jakangers are about to win, the Hurricanegers appear to assist the Akibarangers as Akiba Yellow gives Hurricane Red the ability to use Shurikenger's attacks while she and Akiba Blue dig Akiba Red out. However, the girls' actions cause the Gouraigers remember their days as construction workers and return to normal. As General Tsuu is dragged back to reality by Tazuko, the Akibarangers used the gained Inordinate Power of the Huricanegers to finish Hadezukin off. As things return to normal in the real world, with a man just coming out of a coma, the Akibarangers decide to track down General Tsuu.

Takemoto later announced the news about Morita leaving to Los Angeles to Hagu and the rest. Later, they all went to Morita's room, since the door was destroyed by Kaoru. Takemoto asked Hagu whether or not she wants Morita to return, but her stern and straightforward answer before was really hurting him. The story mainly talked about Yamada and her feelings later on. To save money, Mayama asked Yamada to help making some artwork for his firm's project. Takemoto, seeing Hagu all fired up creating her latest work, reminded him of Morita's dedication in his work. Yamada invites Hagu along with the gang to the fireworks display that will be taking place that evening. Both Hagu and Yamada choose their yukatas for the event. Later that evening, Yamada, being conscious with her look, revealed that she just wanted Mayama to compliment her on her yukata.

Habatake Ōgosho! Mōsō Satsueijo no Itai Wana
After 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 a 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 sign before Hatte arrives in person to slap the viewer's screen shut, putting an abrupt end to the series.

Having lost Mayama from the Fujiwara Design Office, Miwako expresses her depression by buying a massage chair for their new office. Yamada, who was brooding over the proposal of her childhood friends, confronts them and turns them down properly, later wishing for their own happiness while selling cakes with Hagu. Meanwhile, Takemoto is being depressed from the fact that he has not realized yet what his goal in life really is, giving him trouble on his job applications. He then took down the artwork he made for the art exhibition, much to a surprise for the others. His depression made the opening of their Christmas party a little dull, but Professor Hanamoto's antics made things lively. Rebuilding another artwork for his graduation art project, Takemoto suddenly collapses and is brought to the hospital to be diagnosed for an ulcer. Visited by Mitsuko and Kazuo, he decides to stay and study for another year. Takemoto was about to confess his feelings to Hagu when they were interrupted by Professor Hanamoto, who has brought him a handheld television. What they saw on television totally surprises them.

After Akagi and company reminisce about the events of the second season, it is revealed that the Akibarangers are still dead and after bidding farewell to Hiroyo and KozuKozu, they are called back to heaven by Yellow Four I, Time Fire, and Abare Killer. But before leaving, Akagi claims that eventually Saburo Hatte will think on a way to bring them back if needed.

It is late summer. Takemoto, Mayama, and Morita are coming back from an evening bath when Takemoto receives a phone call from Hagu inviting them all over for dinner the next evening. Mayama and Morita decide not to go, leaving Takemoto to have dinner with Hagu and Professor Hanamoto. Meanwhile, Mayama has developed feelings for Rika Harada, an older woman who is good friends with Professor Hanamoto, and is also Mayama's boss. Ayumi Yamada, a friend of Mayama who has a crush on him, finds out about this and publicly chastises him for it. Later, Yamada approaches Mayama and asks why he works for Rika without mentioning his feelings for Rika. However, Mayama coldly tells Yamada that she should find another guy. Yamada is deeply hurt and cries about it to Morita.

Upon telling her comrades that she will not take part in any further delusions, Mitsuki explains that she is going to a martial arts training camp in Izu for three days. This, however, does not mean she will leave the team for good. On the other hand, Hiroyo tells the trio that the delusion amplification system does not work outside of Akihabara. Because of their drunken mishap on their last battle, Akagi and Yumeria are asked by Mitsuki not to enter any delusions while she is away. The next day, Akagi and Yumeria are living their normal lives while resisting the temptation to delude. The duo go to Otamix for Yumeria to try out some new costumes. When she dresses up as Mere, Akagi starts having delusions of his female comrades, Sayaka and Malseena cosplaying as various Super Sentai female characters. Suddenly, Chief Clerk Monzen-Nakachō Hashibirokō appears and uses a spell to purify all of the nerds of their vices, causing them to leave the store and live normal lives. Surrounded by a group of Shatieek priests, Akagi and Yumeria are forced to enter this delusion and change into Akibarangers. With one member missing, they must wait until Hashibirokō indicates a sign of defeat. Upon remembering that only the suit actor for Yellow Four appeared in episode 10 of Choudenshi Bioman, Akiba Red considers bringing Akiba Blue in the scene without Mitsuki around; Hashibirokō, however, does just that, having her attack them instead. Thinking that Akiba Blue has been brainwashed, Akiba Red and Akiba Yellow try to find ways to make her snap out of it, but to no avail. Right when she is about to finish off her comrades, the real Akiba Blue suddenly appears out of nowhere to intervene, which reminds Akiba Red of several "imposter" episodes of past Super Sentai titles. Malseena, who reveals herself to be the fake Akiba Blue, drops the act before leaving the scene, prompting the Akibarangers to destroy Hashibirokō. Back at Himitsukichi, Akagi and Yumeria shop online to buy a gift for Mitsuki as a token of gratitude for helping them. Mitsuki returns from Izu, but upon seeing that she has a set of Aoi keychains that were exclusively sold at a recent convention, Akagi and Yumeria begin to question her whereabouts. She embarrassingly explains that she really went to Izu, but admitted to going to the convention; hence her ability to enter their delusional battle at the last minute. This enrages Akagi and Yumeria, who chase Mitsuki out of the café.

Morita becomes surprised that Hagu doesn't want her paintings to be displayed and shown in museums and art galleries. Professor Hanamoto tells Morita that it is up to Hagu to do what she wants with her art, but Professor Hanamoto questions himself if that is the right thing to do. At the office, Yamazaki and Miwako accuses Nomiya of having a perverted personality.

The Akibarangers bring the comatose Ushirozawa to Himitsukichi where Hiroyo and KozuKozu watch over him while Akagi, Yumeria, and Luna return to their ordinary lives and General Tsuu spends his days happily in the Delusion World with Malseena, until she inspires him to create a Chief Clerk to fight the Akibarangers once more. Meanwhile, the man in the hospital is revealed to be Saburo Hatte, who is in a critical state. Soon after, the unofficial heroes are confronted by the Chief Clerk Kameari Alpaca, and despite Akagi and Yumeria do not remember their fight against the two other Alpaca monsters, they somehow find its design familiar. During the fight, Alpaca wounds itself with Luna's MMZ-01, challenging the Akibarangers to attack its newly created weakspot. The team tries to exploit this flaw, but upon seeing General Tsuu's happy face in the real world, Hiroyo realizes it is a trap and warns them to stop attacking. However, Alpaca destroys General Tsuu's microphone and Malseena takes the opportunity to betray him, stealing his knowledge from the Super Sentai Series with a technique used by the Jakanja in Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger vs Gaoranger before destroying him. With his General Tsuu Persona erased, Ushirozawa wakes up into reality, discards his costume and bids farewell to Hiroyo and KozuKozu. Back at the Delusion World, the Akibarangers summon all Inordinate Powers at their disposal to create the "Inordinate Cannon Bazooka" and use it to finish Kameari Alpaca. However, they find that it was also part of Malseena's plan and she uses the energy absorbed by the monster to revive Delu Knight and reassemble the Stema Otsu Corporation. As the Akibarangers are overpowered by Delu Knight, Hiroyo informs them that the Super Sentai Series is no more in the real world.

Takemoto and Mayama soon discover Hagu's artistic talents. They, as well as Hagu, discover Morita's website which contains a collection of pictures featuring Hagu. Hagu gets upset and throws random objects at Morita, which included her wish list. Meanwhile, Takemoto plans to throw a teppanyaki party. Later, after his job, Morita spots one of the items from Hagu's list, a pair of patent pink mules, in a store and buys it as a present for Hagu. Morita arrives back in a drowsy state and gives two bags of meat for Takemoto's party, as well as the mules for Hagu. Hagu is delighted and Morita faints from exhaustion from his job. Takemoto offers to carry him home and suddenly notices his feelings towards Hagu on the way back.

Shortly 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.
