Tropes

  • Adults Are Useless: Mitsuki thinks this when everyone is too drunk to fight properly.
  • Background Music: At the Sentai Cafe:
  • Designated Girl Fight: Mitsuki only manages to beat Malshina with Yumeria's help.
  • Event Flag: Nobuo finds out that Sayaka doesn't have a boyfriend. He thinks this is a love flag.
  • Gag Censor: In #3, a Mook's face appears over Maruseena's mouth when she starts to swear.
  • Hard-Drinking Tropes: This episode provides a few of these:
    • Drunken Master: ...Sort of. Hiroyo tells them that alcohol can help them become more delusional and, hopefully more powerful. This leads into a...
    • Drunken Montage: Most of the episode is spent on Akagi and Moeginote  getting sloshed in hopes of increasing their delusional power. It fails within the system as Akagi's Heroic Fantasies keep colliding with Moegi's Yaoi Fangirl fantasies creating a Running Gag loop of Akagi saving Malshina disguised as Sayaka from the Monster of the Week and then said Monster of the Week getting a little too comfortable with Akagi which causes Moegi to pass out. Thankfully, Mitsuki is there and she leads us to-
    • Suddenly Sober: Mitsuki attacking Malshina directly and quoting lines from Boukenger is able to snap Akagi and Moegi from their drunken stupor and stops the loop allowing them to finish off the Monster. This is lampshaded by Nobuo.
  • Intoxicated Superpower Snag: The team discovers that being drunk intensifies the Akibarangers' powers within the Delusion World. Moegi (who's a Fujoshi) decides to try this out as well during the next bout, causing the Monster of the Week to constantly shift between a bad-ass supervillain and a Yaoi protagonist, putting Red and Yellow at-odds and making the fight a lot harder than it needs to be. Akiba Blue ends up being the one to saves the day by quoting GoGo Sentai Boukenger, sobering the other two up.
  • Mythology Gag: The Monster of the Week looks like a cross between Buredoran and Dayuu.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: Nobuo is drunkenly delusional enough to call forth Bouken Red in his one episode silly outfit for the first battle; in the second battle, Nobuo and Yumeria are too drunk and their delusions interfered with one another; Later they receive the penultimate power of the Boukengers, the Bouken Scooper, wielded by Akiba Blue.
  • Shout-Out: When Yumeria says she's cosplaying as a schoolboy, she does a finger point similar to another school student.
  • Vocal Dissonance: Yumeria's drifts in & out of it when in Yaoi Fangirl mode in #3.
