Delusional Itasshaa Blasts Through the Boundaries!

Air date: May 18, 2012

Important things that happened

• Hakase unlocks a safe and pulls out sketches of Malshiina and MMZ-01. Both drawn by T. Tsuzuki. She asks, "Why did you entrust this to me, Papa?"
  • Later, Malshiina says that Hakase's father is named Takehiro.
• Yumeria and Mitsuki cosplay as characters from the Aoi anime. During this scene, an otaku sitting in the cafe is mouthing the lines with them. Mitsuki says this is her first time cosplaying, since the last one was just Akagi's delusion.
• Malshiina sends the hero cafe flowers with a card saying that she's opening Warukichi, which means "Bad Base"; sort of the opposite if the hero's Himitsukichi/Secret Base.
• One of the buildings on Malshiina's card is Otamix, which was mentioned in a previous episode.

Monster of the Week

Yoyogi Sujibokehashirigumo 代々木スジボケハシリグモ

The scientific name for the Dolomedes hercules Boes. et Str. spider.

Not a humanoid enemy. He latches onto a Shachiiku, which allows him to talk and fight through it.

Trivia

• When Akagi slaps Yumeria's head thing, she blasts him with psychic energy.
• Yumeria takes on an extremely docile personality this week, matching her cosplay character. She uses a lot of words that end in -teki, which is like the Japanese equivalent to adverbs.
• Akagi still hasn't come up with a name for their normal attack.
• The monologue in the ending is back. This time, Mitsuki talks about watching Sentai DVDs and unconsciously imitating the action.
• In AkibaRanger they use tikutter instead of Twitter.
• The vampires in reality were just people that Malshiina hired using bentou. She also asks the actors to line up so that she can give them a kiss as thanks.
• Apparently, random people who weren't vampire actors heard Malshiina say this and tried to get a kiss anyway.
• When they chase the Shachiiku over the hurdles, cancan music is played in the background.
