This article is about an additional unnumbered (EX) series entry in the Super Sentai series.
Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu (非公認戦隊アキバレンジャーシーズン痛,Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger Season Tsuu) translated as Unofficial Squadron Akibaranger Season Pain is the second installment of Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger as well as the second "unofficial installment" of the Super Sentai series. This series, like the first, is geared towards teenagers and Otaku, while the normal series is geared towards young children and families. Season Tsuu began airing on April 6, 2013.[1]
Though, as noted in the final episode, the Akibarangers may return if needed, Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger was not renewed for a third season in 2014.
All episode titles are written in kanji like Shinkenger, however they all start with the word "Mōsō", which means "Delusion" (similar to "Abare" being in all titles of Abaranger)
This is the second unofficial Sentai Series. Like most Japanese TV shows, it is considered a different installment as opposed to a new batch of episodes under the same exact show title.
The character 痛 (,痛 pain) is used in the title with the number two in it is a pun on the Japanese word for pain and the Japanese pronouncement of "two".
Despite the fact it isn't official, it is the first season to have a second season.
Though Akibaranger did not have a third season, in its place during the year in 2014 aired Kanpai Senshi After V, a 12-episode show which, though not produced by Toei, light-heartedly parodied Super Sentai as did Akibaranger.
This is the first Super Sentai with all members deceased (although it is unofficial).
