History Characters / HikoninSentaiAkibaranger

* CaptainErsatz: A copyright-friendly parody of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''.

* TakeThat: ''Not'' at Ultraman himself, but at Chaiyo Productions; which went so far as to create its own ''Ultraman'' characters without Tsuburaya's permission. His company, Chigauyo Productions, is even named after an expression of denial (違うよ！''Chigau yo!''), as if deriding Chaiyo's Ultramen as illegitimate.

** In S1#3, she is a [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue haired]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser elementary school boy]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: She literally has blue hair.

!'''[[spoiler: Saburo Hatte]]'''

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler: He serves as this in Season 1, as the characters realize they're in a television show and the finale has them change their focus toward preventing him from ending the series rather than fighting the villains he's created for the series. Surprisingly subverted in Season 2, where Malshina is the villain.]]
* ManBehindTheMan: [[spoiler: In Season 1, he turns out to be the true source of all the conflict.]]

!![[spoiler:'''Unofficial Giant God Prism Ace''' | [-Voice Actor: Creator/ToruFuruya-] ]]

[[spoiler: A new hero character created by the [[Franchise/UltraSeries Chaino]] [[BlandNameProduct Corporation]] in an attempt to usurp Super Sentai's timeslot.]]

* AntiHero: He's a heroic character in his own right, but he [[spoiler: acts as the proxy for the company currently trying to replace Super Sentai.]]
* CaptainErsatz: He's a copyright-friendly copy of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''...or rather, of the Chaiyo Productions knockoff Ultramen.
* HeroAntagonist: He's not really a bad guy at all, but the Akibarangers have to oppose him.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Literally the hero of a different franchise.
* RippedFromTheHeadlines: His plot is derived from real-life legal issues surrounding the ''Ultraman'' franchise.
* TakeThat: ''Not'' at Ultraman himself, but at Chaiyo Productions' knockoff Ultramen. His creators, Chigauyo Productions, are even a very clear play on Chaiyo Productions, with the added insult of the new name being a play on the words 'wrong or false.'
* UltramanCopy: Serves as both a direct homage and a CorruptedCharacterCopy of Ultraman in general design and actions. However, he also serves as a living TakeThat to Chaiyo Productions, a company infamous for trying to steal the rights to the ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' after a collaboration with Tsuburaya Studios in the film ''Film/HanumanVs7Ultraman''.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's hard to talk about him without spoiling how the series ends.
* WritingAroundTrademarks: He's clearly meant to be a representation of Ultraman (or rather, he's based more directly off Chaiyo Productions' knockoff Ultramen, as the plot involving him mirrors their attempts to steal the Ultraman Franchise and the company that makes him is an obvious play on Chaiyo Productions' name.), but the show avoids directly calling the character "Ultraman" or mentioning the franchise in any capacity.

* OdangoHair: Her helmet's hair in season 2 is done in odango style.

* HeroAntagonist: He's not really a bad guy at all, but the Akibarangers have to oppose him because [[spoiler:

* CaptainErsatz: He's a copyright-friendly copy of ''Series/{{Ultraman}}''.

* WritingAroundTrademarks: He's clearly meant to be a representation of Ultraman, but the show avoids directly calling the character "Ultraman" or mentioning the franchise in any capacity.

* MissionControl: She just stays behind and keeps contact with the Akibarangers so she can given them advice and instructions on their missions when needed. That being said, she can't actually ''see'' what's going on and has to rely on verbal feedback to understand the situation while it's implied she's purely looking at only their equipment status on her computer screen all this time.

** [[ButNotTooEvil He was actually nice enough to be open to custom commissions]], as it was revealed he was the one who made Nobuo's real-life Munyu Munyu Zubaaan at his request. Though [[BrickJoke he later uses the experience he gained in crafting an anime girl]] to create [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman Yuru-Chara Jigen]], whom he made with an intention to get revenge against anime mascot characters.

* TheUnseen: [[spoiler: Except for a hand. This is a big hint to his identity as the man in the hospital in Season 2.]]
* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: To Malshina in Season 2.]]
** YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler: Episodes #2-10 and #2-11 reveal that General Pain was never really a meant-to-be-established character, but instead a byproduct of Saburo's subconcious created as a defense mechanism against Malshina. (Thereby connecting him somewhat to the Akiba-verse, making Pain an extension of Hatte. Yes, it's a MindScrew.) Now that Malshina has all but lobotimized Pain, Hatte is feeling the effects in the "Real" world, and is implied at the end of #2-10 to be on the verge of death. Malshina does not take it well.]]
