"AkibaRed!"
―AkibaRed's role call[src]

Nobuo Akagi (赤木 信夫 Akagi Nobuo) is AkibaRed (アキバレッド AkibaReddo), the leader of the Akibarangers.

History[]

He is an average (if very delusional and eccentric) man working at Sasaki’s Ponpoko Delivery Services. He is already 29 years old, and he still loves Super Sentai. Lately, he has also been getting into the anime “Z-Cune Aoi”, to the point where he got guilt-ridden for attempting to buy a Great Five toy after seeing Aoi merchandise, namely a cardboard cutout.

His legs are trained from running around for his delivery work, but unfortunately, being a messenger, his body isn't trained for battle. With years of Super Sentai knowledge, he easily sees through the weaknesses and strategies of monsters, as well as see the cliches the villains make. He is described to be a "virgin" in recent information released about him.

He excels in the "delusion power" that powers the Akibarangers in combat.

AkibaRed Ranger Key

AkibaRed Ranger Key

The AkibaRed Ranger Key (アキバレッドレンジャーキー AkibaReddo Renjā Kī) is Nobuo's personal Ranger Key which is part of the Akibaranger Ranger Keys. It is unknown if it will appear in a future crossover. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. Gokai Red, into AkibaRed.

Akibaranger Gear (Kikai Side)

The Akibaranger Gear[2] (アキバレンジャーギア Akibarenjā Gia) is one of many Sentai Gears used by the Zenkaigers to battle the Kikaitopia Dynasty Tojitendo. In particular, when used by a Zenkaiger’s Geartlinger, the Akibaranger Gear makes the user's enemies cowardly and say death flags, causing them to later spontaneously explode from second hand embarrassment.Movieicon MOVIE STORY-Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki

Notes[]

Red Triple Pose

The poses of Akarenger, AkibaRed, and GoggleRed.

Roll Calls[]

Unlike the Sentai heroes he emulates, as AkibaRed, Nobuo decides to alter his roll call on each occurrence. He states his designation ("AkibaRed!" or "Super AkibaRed!"). However, before this, he states one of his personal Sentai superlatives. He also imitates the poses of Sentai heroes during his roll calls. The only time there was no role call was in Season 1's Ep. 11: The Second Generation is a Fresh and Painless Warrior, Season 2's Ep. 9: A Second Delusion and Ep. 11: Delusional Cemetery.
