Story
Outrageous Power
This season's Outrageous Powers combine to form the Outrageous Bazooka ダイソレタバズーカ.
Villain
Kenma of Time Mutoumushite
時の拳魔・ムトウムシテ
Voiced by Hiyama Nobuyuki
The leaders of the RinJyuDen were called Kenma (means Fist Devil). The naming scheme for that series was Japanese pig latin.
- Mutoumushite = Temutomushi. His theming is the same as last week's, a ladybug, which is Tentoumushi in Japanese.
- Kenma all get their powers from emotions. Mutomushite is powered by his grudge.
尽きせぬ 恨み を力に変える
- His special attack is HiDen Rin Gi Onkochishin. Normally Onkochisen means "to learn from the past", but it uses the kanji 温故致死 which makes it "the lethal past".
- His dying words are "Even if Mutoumushite dies, Okamoto Yoshi-" ムトウムシテ死すとも、岡本よし…

- They refer to episode 4's Cap-tan with Mousou Cap-tan, which was a mispronunciation of the English word Motion Capture.
Sentai References
- Used a timer to count the time wasted on Nobuo's explanation in a parody of Go-Busters countdown timer.
- Hiyama Nobuyuki is a pretty big voice actor. In Sentai, one of his biggest roles was Sanbash from Gingaman.
- Mutoumushite uses a technique "Deadly Past" that references several previous Sentai series. He also shouts out the year of the series at the end of his attack.
- 85 Buuba from Changeman. Bullbados was his sword.
- 88 Doctor Ashura from Liveman. Cut Asscher カットアッシャー was his boomerang like weapon. In reality, an Asscher Cut is a trademark style of cutting diamonds.
- 87 Oyobuu from Maskman. Can spit fire from his mouth.
- 84 Bio Hunter Silva from Bioman. Mutoumushite shoots lasers out of his fingers.
- 02 Thurgain from Hurricaneger.
- (86) He says he'll finish them with Bou Gardan from Flashman, but this doesn't happen.
- When Mutoumushite attacks Malshiina, she says "If only Deluknight were here..." which apparently is similar to a line from Bioman "If only Baljion were here..."
- When Malshiina is imprisoned, Nobuo recalls Princess Iaru who is trapped in a coffin of ice. Tsuu immediately rejects that and just says she's in a acrylic case, like a giant living figurine.
- Okamoto Yoshinori is a stuntman for many previous Sentai series. He's also known as O-BITOH.
- Was the suit actor and the voice for Buuba, Thurgain, Bou Gardan and Oyobu.
- Works at the Sky Theater at Tokyo Dome City on Suidoubashi.
- The episode title Beautiful Fight (Bitou) has the same pronunciation as his nickname, Bitoh.
- When Nobuo mentions Okamoto, Yuuko mistakes him for Okamoto Jirou, another famous suit actor.
- Nobuo mention Niibori Kazuo, who is another veteran suit actor. He made an appearance in AkibaRanger season 1.
- AkibaRed throwing his gun to AkibaYellow is similar to when Gokaigers swapping their weapons during fights, though GokaiYellow usually gets two swords instead of two guns.
- The sunset fight is similar to the one in Changeman between Buuba and Change Dragon.
- Okamoto's kouhai is none other than Mr. Heisei Rider, Takaiwa Seiji. Who's also done some Sentai work as MagiRed and other stuff.
- Takaiwa Seiji is wearing a jacket that reads "STAFF, KAKURANGER" on the back, and "SEIJI T." on the left sleeves since he was the suit actor for NinjaRed.
- When the patient in bed turns on the TV, it plays Boukenger's opening theme.
Red's Recommendation
- He recommends GekiChopper as his favorite song from GekiRanger's insert songs.
ゲキレンの挿入歌ならハッ！ハッ！ 『ゲキチョッパー！』推し！アキバレッド
Note: The song title is actually "Osu! GekiChopper!" (押忍！ゲキチョッパー！)
Blue's Mistake
- She recommends GekiOrange RoboTuff, which was a trainer, not a GekiRanger.
Yellow's Ramble
本官の次なる目標は歌って！ 踊って！ 絵が描ける！コスプレマダムなんてどうかなーと思ってるのだー！ 歌って踊れるなんて結構難しいんですけどー！
