Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger Season 2 - Discussion Thread

[Midori Ken]

Are you watching this show dude...

Oh ****, what if one of us mistakenly attributed the change to Luna, and was so powerful that the delusion began affecting the real world and altered the script for Akibaranger 2 5!

If someone's delusion could affect the script then J would have saved the day multiple times already, since Hidden Masta is so deluded.

Why does hidden masta think people can be with robots?

He is a robosexual

 

[Hidden Masta]

And you're closed minded.

J is not a robot, and masta is not 'people' so it's all a wash.

So if Akagi ends up falling in love with some android/robot-ish Sentai character (like Ninjaman, or Peabo. Or Datas. Or Bomper ), we know that he's parod-... erm, paying homage to Hidden Masta.

Well Akagi is totally faithful to Aoi-chan (at least until the next moe craze <.< ), but if not I think there's a more likely robot candidate here:

Now you're just being racist.

I don't agree that homaging Zyuranger was the point. If Zyuranger alone was the point, then there would be no reason to bring up Power Rangers at all. I mean, Gokaiger didn't, when it homaged Zyuranger.

The episode is clearly about the relationship that exists between Power Rangers and Sentai. Even the episode's title references that, not anything from Zyuranger. The plot concerns what happens when that relationship's perceived status quo is upset, and suddenly Power Rangers is the original while Sentai is a derivative. Most of the episode is spent talking about the loss of Sentai, not just the loss of Zyuranger.

So the ending isn't just about reinstating one specific series, as it was with Dairanger. It's about reinstating Sentai's primacy as a franchise. Yes, they do so during the climax through the means of reinstating Zyuranger, which goes back to the fact that the first PR season used Zyuranger footage. But the "happy ending" isn't just Zyuranger being back, it's that Sentai as a whole is back.

or, in an equally likely intended purpose, with Akibaranger being a full-on parody of Super Sentai and stuff related to it, the time finally came to parody Power Rangers

that being said, Season 2 is going well so far, and seems more interesting than the first season (though Super AkibaRed is just horrid and I'm never gonna get over it)
