Trivia
- Translate Malshiina's business card and address
- Malshiina communicates to Tsuu Shogun with modified MMZ's.
- HVD stands for Holographic Versatile Disc which has a 6 TB capacity and may be the future standard for Quad HD and Ultra HD. Needless to say, it would surpass the Blu-ray format in quality if actualized.
- When they look up Akiba's wiki page, the sit is actually Mikiqedia, which is just Wikipedia with the W flipped over and p mirrored into a q.
Sentai References
- Malshiina says she was revived from an iceberg, a reference to Queen Hedrian's revival from Denjiman to Sun Vulcan.
- KibaRanger summons Mojo and Yamagata to sing Sentai songs, GaoRanger and Battle Fever J's opening.
- Two signatures are shown on Secret Base's wall. One is from Director Watanabe Katsuya dated September 12, 2002. The other has a picture and is dated January 6, 2013. Both are written to Secret Base.
- Incidentally, September 12, 2002 would place it during the time when Watanabe Katsuya was working on Hurricaneger. The date fits between episodes 29 and 30, which he directed.
- The other date was Go-Busters Mission 45's air date.
- Tsuu's monster creation is reminiscent of Puripurikan's from ZyuRanger. Tsuu creates a little monster mold, and then flips a big switch. Then the monster is teleported like in Go-Busters, but not really according to Tsuu Shogun.
- The AkibaRangers reenact the DaiRanger opening from memory.
- The wiki article describes Akiba as a dismal failure of a series, so much so, that Inoue Toshiki was brought in to fix it. This is a reference to the shakeup that occurred with Kamen Rider Hibiki.
