=The Forbidden Delusion is the Pain of a Corrupt Blue=
<br>禁じられた妄想は青い背徳の痛み

Air date: April 27, 2012

== Important things that happened ==
*Mitsuki says she's away for fighting training camp for three days. So that she's not distracted, she asks Akagi and Moegi to not have any delusions. Their inability to comply to this request becomes the focal point of the episode.
*When Akagi slips up, Sutema Otsu shows up. The monster of the week summons a fake AkibaBlue to battle AkibaRed and AkibaYellow. The fake AkibaBlue reveals herself to be Malshiina when the real one shows up.

== Monster of the week ==
'''Monzennakacho Hashibirokou	門前仲町ハシビロコウ'''

Monzennakacho literally means "before the gates" and is also a reference to the Monzen-Nakacho district of Koto, Tokyo. Hashibirokou means "shoe-bill stork". First chief clerk to not be an insect.

== Super Sentai References ==
*In his rollcall, Akagi says he wants to be stomped on by [[Ree Nefel]] from [[Choushinsei Flashman]].
*Akagi sees transvestites and is reminded of [[Cool Passion]], DekaRanger episode 26.
*Kozukozu [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Mita Kozukozu|cosplays]] as Sakura from [[GoGo Sentai Boukenger]].
*Yumeria [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Moegi Yumeria|cosplays]] as Mele from [[JyuKen Sentai GekiRanger]].
*Akagi fantasizes Yumeria [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Aoyagi Mitsuki|cosplaying]] as Rije from [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger]].
*Akagi fantasizes Mitsuki [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Aoyagi Mitsuki|cosplaying]] as Kaze no Shizuka from [[GoGo Sentai Boukenger]] and Jeanne from [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger]].
*Akagi fantasizes Hakase [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Hakase Hiroyo|cosplaying]] as Rijewel from [[Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger]] and Shiratori Swan from [[Tokusou Sentai DekaRanger]].
*Akagi fantasizes Sayaka [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Honiden Sayaka|cosplaying]] as Tetom from [[Hyakujyu Sentai GaoRanger]], Sayaka from [[Dengeki Sentai Changeman]], and Sherinda from [[Seijyu Sentai Gingaman]].
*Akagi fantasizes Malshiina [[Cosplay in AkibaRangers#Malshiina|cosplaying]] as Sherinda from [[Seijyu Sentai Gingaman]] (with her Malshiina classes) as well as Kegareshia from [[Engine Sentai Go-Onger]] and Wendiinu from [[Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger]].

== Trivia ==

*Moegi addresses Mitsuki as "neechan" at the beginning, even though she's already changed out of her schoolboy cosplay.
*When they replace the toy in the window, it's Ginga Keiji Gabian, a bootleg of Gavan. Perhaps a reference to Bootleg Gavan from the Gokaiger and Gavan crossover movie.
