In order to combat the villainous Secret Society Gekko (秘密結社ゲッコー, Himitsu Kessha Gekkō), who have burnt half of the world and are planning to burn the rest, the Super Sentai group Freezing Sentai Gelato 5 (氷結戦隊ジェラート5, Hyōketsu Sentai Jerāto Faibu) is formed, consisting of Fudo Aikawa (Red Gelato), Hayato Ōjino (Blue Gelato), Misaki Jingūji (Yellow Gelato), Daigo Todoroki (Green Gelato), Haru Arisugawa (Pink Gelato), and their leader Professor Big Gelato. However, things change when Gekko recruits a new member, the Reaper Princess Desumi Magahara. Not only is Desumi a formidable fighter, but she and Fudo also happen to fall in love with each other despite being mortal enemies. Even though neither of them have any experience in romance, they begin dating in secret, trying to hide their relationship from their respective organizations.

Freezing Sentai Gelato 5 team leader Fudo Aikawa, also known as Red Gelato, enjoys a date with his girlfriend, supervillain Desumi Magahara, while his teammates fight her minions. However, when Blue Gelato finds them, Fudo and Desumi immediately engage in combat. When Blue leaves, they return to their romance. Fudo reminisces about how this happened. A week earlier, the Gelato 5, consisting of Fudō, Haru Arisugawa (Pink), Hayato Ōjino (Blue), Misaki Jingūji (Yellow), and Daigo Todoroki (Green), learned of a new villainess known as the Reaper Princess, a member of the villainous organization Secret Society Gekko. They later defeated Gekko member Culverin Bear and his army. During that fight, Fudō faced Desumi by himself, where he was smitten by her. Back at headquarters, Fudo revealed to Professor Big Gelato that he fell in love, with the latter encouraging him to express his feelings right away. Fudō took his advice literally when he summoned Desumi to an abandoned warehouse. Assuming this was a trick, Desumi attacked him, but was won over when she realized how serious Fudo was. Back in the present, they swear to keep their secret safe, as they are forced to fight again when Yellow arrives.

Gekko members, including Desumi, fight with the Gelato 5 in a shipyard. Desumi and Fudo break away from the fight to take a picture together. However, when Yellow arrives, Desumi feigns defeat. While she is on the ground, she overhears Fudo being interviewed by a news team about his romantic life. Once Yellow and the news team leave, Desumi asks Fudo to take her on a proper date. While a nervous Fudo is doing research on date activities, a drunk Jingūji arrives and tells him to do things they can both enjoy. The next day, he takes Desumi to a gym. After Desumi excuses herself, Jingūji calls Fudo, telling him to disregard her drunken advice. Distraught, he believes that he has disappointed Desumi, and goes to look for her. Once they reunite, Desumi assures him that she is happy just being with him. Delighted, they nearly kiss before they are called back into action. Sometime later, Hellko, Desumi's cat, reflects on how lonely Desumi was prior to her relationship with Fudo. While she accepts Fudo's role in Desumi's newfound happiness, Hellko swears to make Fudo pay if he does something to harm Desumi.

Following weeks of inactivity from Gekko, Fudo severely misses Desumi. As such, he immediately takes on a suicide mission to infiltrate Gekko's base, leaving Big Gelato and Jingūji concerned for him. Desumi, similarly lonely, finds him in a vent in Gekko's base, and happily plays card games with him. However, they are nearly discovered by Culverin Bear, having to hide in a small locker. Fudo accidentally discomforts Desumi, who punches him out of the locker in embarrassment. He slams into Culverin Bear, activating his new weapons, which explode violently and destroy the base, leading Jingūji and Big Gelato to think Fudō accomplished his mission. The next day, Gekko Supreme Leader Bosslar meets with Desumi and the other villains, revealing their plan of stealing peoples' negative emotions and turning them into monsters is coming to fruition. Desumi proposes an amusement park as a desirable place to attack, and meets with Fudō there. A fight breaks out, and while the Gelato 5 deal with the Gekko army, Fudō and Desumi enjoy some time together on the rides. As the Gelato 5 leave, Arisugawa discovers a picture taken of a roller coaster, in which Fudō appears beside a girl.

Arisugawa wanted to talk about the picture, but is convinced that Fudo is not dating anyone. They are then called into action, where Desumi roughly fights with Fudo. Taking him aside, she admits that while she knows that he was not cheating on her, she still felt jealous. As such, Fudo reassures her. They are surprised by Arisugawa, who reveals she overheard the whole conversation. The next day, Arisugawa informs the Gelato 5 of her and Fudo's upcoming school exams, much to his surprise. That night, Arisugawa challenges Desumi to a fight, but is quickly defeated. She wakes up in Desumi's lap, where she questions why she did not expose them. Arisugawa reveals that she joined the Gelato 5 due to her love for Fudo, and was inspired in the past by Desumi, who defended her from bullies at school.

Desumi immediately agrees to help, and alongside a reluctant Beast Princess, attempts to teach Steel about femininity. However, their attempt goes awry, only making Steel even less confident in herself. After telling Fudo about the situation, he advises Desumi to help Steel to accept herself as she is. Desumi and Beast enter Steel's dressing room, where, after dodging her anguish-driven attacks, Desumi manages to tell Steel to be herself and accept her feelings. Crying, Steel takes her armor off, and gathers the courage to confess her feelings to Culverin Bear. Sometime later, Arisugawa helps keep Desumi and Fudo hidden during a fight against Gekko. After Arisugawa leaves, Desumi attempts to feed lunch to Fudō, but he suffers from a sudden appendicitis. In the hospital, Desumi visits Fudo, and finally manages to feed him, much to his delight.

Desumi's father, a former Gekko soldier, chastises her for declining her promotion. When Fudo comes to her defense, he is silenced by Urami. Desumi's father tells her that she must devote herself to Gekko after she finishes high school, but Fudo tells him that she desires to go to university. Fudo gets Desumi's father approval after he commends his skill to be defeated "spectacularly". He then leaves, agreeing to postpone the matter. Sometime later, Urami remembers the moment she began admiring Desumi. Desumi tours Urami around Gekko headquarters, but the latter is disheartened when Desumi is friendly with her coworkers. During a shopping trip, a disappointed Urami leaves Desumi. In a corner, she remembers how much her family told her about Desumi's success as a member of Gekko when she was little, and how she finally came out of her room when she heard of Desumi's promotion, expressing her desire to be like her. Back in the present, Urami is approached by some thugs, but Desumi deals with them. Desumi tells Urami to find love, explaining that it is needed to become stronger. Urami finally accepts who Desumi is now, but continues to disapprove of Fudo.

Desumi briefs Fudō about her high school's culture festival, including an event called the "Kokutei Moon", which is said to create lifelong couples out of people who have their picture taken on it. As such, they resolve to go together. Fudo attends the festival, but is quickly recognized and swarmed by students while carrying Ōjino on his shoulders. Meanwhile, Desumi is constantly harassed by Hojo, all while Beast is patrolling the school. Desumi and Fudo manage to meet in a haunted house, but their moment is quickly ruined by Beast. Once the Kokutei Moon is unveiled, Desumi and Fudo rush to its location. Desumi finally manages to get rid of Hojo when she sets her up to fight with the Blood Princess. She then reunites with Fudō, who is left alone when Ōjino chases after Beast. With only five minutes left, they begin losing hope. However, when they see Steel was fooled by a student wearing a costume similar to Culverin Bear, they switch into their respective outfits, and people confuse them as cosplayers. As such, they succeed in having their picture taken, promising to live to see their relationship be accepted by everyone.

The quiet Judgment Princess always tries to avoid social interactions. As such, Desumi tricks her into attending a sleepover with the other Princesses in her room. They eat takoyaki, watch movies, and mess around. They then talk about romance, and Judgment asks about what love is. She then teases Desumi when she detects that she is in love. That night, Desumi thanks Judgment for coming, and she admits she had a good time. Sometime later, Desumi and Fudo hang out in a snowy refuge, and Fudo tells her of a book signing event for his new book. However, she catches a cold and is cared for by the Blood Princess. Beast then rushes to save her, as she tells Steel how Blood brainwashes her patients into acting as babies. They find Desumi dressed as one, and they are both captured when they try to save her. When Fudo infiltrates the school, he finds Desumi in this state. Embarrassed, he reads her his book, which snaps her back to normal. He tearily tells her that nobody came to his event, so Desumi excitedly receives his first autograph. Meanwhile, Blood holds Beast and Steel hostage, treating them as babies as well.

Fudo tells Desumi that he has been hired to appear in a wedding commercial, which includes a cake-cutting scene with a famous idol. When she tells him that he cannot accept the role, he accuses her of being selfish. Once she leaves, Arisugawa makes Fudo understand the pain Desumi is feeling. Elsewhere, Bosslar showcases the Ultimate Phantom, a monster created from negative energy. The Phantom turns out to be too strong, as it absorbs the powers of those it consumes. After it escapes, the Phantom attacks the shoot, and while Fudō gets everyone to safety, a cake he made for Desumi is destroyed. The rest of Gelato 5, Beast, and Steel then try to fight the Phantom, to no avail. Big Gelato explains to Fudō that the only way to defeat the Phantom is by combining the Gelato 5 weapons into one sword, the Gelato Claymore. When Desumi arrives, she finds Fudo's cake. Desumi then helps him hold the Claymore, and together, they manage to slice the Phantom. Afterwards, the Phantom is reduced to a baby, and Desumi attacks Fudo again to keep their ruse going when they are interviewed, promising to see each other again.

Reception

[edit]

The series was nominated for the Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic in 2022.[56]

The anime adaptation's first episode garnered positive reviews from Anime News Network's staff during the Spring 2022 season previews. James Beckett called it "an extremely cute and surprisingly well-produced romantic comedy", but also critiqued that it could "easily suffer from diminishing returns" with lesser animation and an overreliance on the same jokes. Richard Eisenbeis found the Fudō-Desumi relationship "ultra-cute" and having "a sprinkle of social commentary", but felt the tokusatsu content lacked "subversion" and causes the series to feel "painfully predictable and almost boring" when away from the main couple, concluding that he will check out the manga to see if he might watch more of the show. Rebecca Silverman called it "equal parts super sentai sendup and gooey romcom, and it looks like those two things are going to mesh just as well here as they do in the source manga." Nicholas Dupree praised the production for keeping the Super Sentai humor fresh while displaying some "A+ romcom blushing", "cool fight choreography" and proper cheesecake in its fan service, concluding that: "I'm not going to tell you this show is deep or thought-provoking or even particularly romantic, but what I will say is I had a big dumb grin on my face the entire episode."[57]

Fellow ANN editor Lynzee Loveridge chose Love After World Domination as her pick for the Best Anime of Spring 2022, praising Fudō and Desumi's relationship throughout the series, concluding that: "Love After World Domination isn't going to break the mold. Sometimes the animation is limited and the art doesn't always hold up either, but I enjoyed watching it with my husband every week and it always left us with a smile."[58] Allen Moody, writing for THEM Anime Reviews, felt the series' outlandish premise was too tame and restrained in execution, the Fudō-Desumi pairing "disappointingly conventional" and a lack of focus on the supporting cast, concluding that: "[And] while some of the jokes work just fine, there were some missed opportunities as well."[59]
