Akibaranger Season 2 Event Report! More Guest Rangers!

[Reveal] Spoiler: Click to Expand
The event started with the three unofficial heroes, already transformed, trying to pose whilst the new opening was playing. The song is simply called “Akibaranger Season Two” and is sung by Haruko Momoi, Yukio Yamagata and MoJo. They even seem to be making reference to Bandai in the song. Soon afterwards, a reworked edition of the second teaser video was shown. This teaser contained edited footage, as opposed to a short making-of video. It seemed to cover a bit of episode one.
Some details:

• For some reason Nobuo can’t transform with the regular MMZ-01 (Moe Moe Z-Cune).
• A Machine Itassher toy was in the cafe.
• The weapons Akibaranger’s used have been made into toys ,DX AkibaLaser (MMZ-01) and DX MeteorCannon (Inordinate Cannon).
• The new Blue, Luna Iwashimizu, was cosplaying as Akiba Blue.
• Malshina was shown taking a bath as someone calls her through a device that looks very similar to the MMZ-01.
• She says Evil Delusion (jamousou) and transforms. But all it does is add a helmet and changes her clothes.
• Some old monsters from season one are back.
• Yu Kamio (Kiyoto Maki/Dinosaur Greeed) will be in season two.
• Some past rangers that were shown: Tyranno Ranger, Blue Swallow, Deka Yellow, Bouken Pink, Black Condor, Dragon Ranger and Kibaranger.

Something I think misac would like...

• Honoka, who plays Malshina, mentioned that she still haven’t remembered the name of the villains. “Malshina will also have more ‘sexy’ scenes”

Who's this guy (not the red ranger obviously)?

It's a new magazine I saw solicited on DCBS.

Looks like a metal hero (eg. Gavan)... I didn't watch those much. Let me look.

Okay it does look like Gavan (sorry Gavan, Sharivan, Shaider, Juspion, etc look very similar to me)

He was in a movie with the pirates.

Is that a magazine or something?

EDIT: Yeah you said it was a magazine :oops:

There was a movie after the pirates one that had a new younger sheriff coming onto the scene (along with other metal heroes). This year's Super Hero Taisen movie adds the metal heroes.

The drama will star Hitori Gekidan (Ikigami, Dororo, Densha Otoko) as Nagasawa-kun, Satoshi Hanada (of the Hannya comedy duo) as Fujiki-kun, Miyuki Ōshima (of the Morisanchū comedy trio) as Kosugi-kun, Eiji Wentz (Brave Story, live-action Nodame Cantabile) as Hanawa-kun, Haruka Minowa (of the comedy duo Harisenbon) as Noguchi-san, and Aiko Kaitō (live-action Chibi Maruko-chan, Densha Otoko) as Jōgasaki.
