Return to the Team
Hakase failed to convince Luna not to quit the Akibarangers, learning of her manager Tojo while unintentionally ruining the video Luna was going to post on Nico Nico Tube. While looking to get over the building angst, Akagi found a strange man disguised as a priest who used his powers to remodel all Z-Cune Aoi merchandise nearby to assume a darker and edgier appearance much to her fans' despair. Upon realizing that the man in question is another Baros lol monster, Akagi confronted the exposed Machine Lifeform Smapho Monger in the Delusion World.
Powerful Rangers
Akagi and Yumeria plans of celebrating Luna's return to the Akibarangers were cut short when Hakase revealed she only hired her for the day and could not afford her services full time. However, though their reasons were pure, the group schemed to get Luna to join their group by any means. Finding her at an audition held by the famous American director George Spielburton, Akagi and company learned she lost the role to her rival Akina Maihama.
Form
AkibaBlue
- Z-Cune! ― Transformation announcement
- MMZ-01 Machine Itashar / Itashar Robo (shared with Red and Yellow)
- The AkibaBlue Ranger Key is an Akibaranger Ranger Key which is part of the Akibaranger prototype Ranger Keys. It only exists as a toy and it is unknown if it will appear in the series. Of course as with all Ranger Keys, should it exist, it would be able to transform one, i.e. Gokai Blue, into AkibaBlue.
When she first joined the Akibarangers her roll calls were random like Yumeria's but not as long. After being apart of the Akibarangers for awhile Luna started saying something about the Sentai Series that was featured in Akagi's roll call right before her once she learned about some of the different Sentai series. After saying her roll call she states her designation ("AkibaBlue!"). The only time there was no role call was in Ep. 4: Delusional Goddess, Ep. 9: A Second Delusion, and Ep. 11: Delusional Cemetery.
- Ep. 2: Chinese Delusions: "Huh, was that really in the show? Akiba Blue! The Rising Star, Luna!"
- Ep. 3: Martial Arts Delusion: "I love sardines! Don't underestimate me! Iwashimizu Luna!"
- Ep. 5: Delusional Imports: "Speaking of Iwashimizu, the Ninna Temple pilgrim comes to mind. Looking for an experienced guide!"
- Ep. 6: Delusional Niangniang: "Abaranger...? In that case... uh... I was amazed when Hama showed up in anime form!"
- Ep. 7: Delusional Spy: "Hurricanger then... uh... I really liked the Director's daughter, Onboro!"
- Ep. 8: Delusional Beauty War: "Gekiranger, huh? I really liked Geki Orange, Robo Tough!"
- Ep. 10: Delusional Pillow Talk: "What encyclopedia do you mean? Well I don't know, so I can't recommend anything!"
- Luna Iwashimizu is portrayed by Shione Sawada. As AkibaBlue, her suit actor is Haruka Oshima.
- The kanji used for the name Luna is the same as that used for the name of the first AkibaBlue from season one, Mitsuki Aoyagi. This led to the mistaken belief at first that Luna's name would be Mitsuki as well.
- Luna is the first replacement Blue Ranger of Super Sentai.
