Zebraman 2: Attack on Zebra City (ゼブラーマン -ゼブラシティの逆襲-, Zeburāman -Zebura Shiti no Gyakushū-) is the 2010 sequel to the 2004 film Zebraman. The film features Show Aikawa reprising his leading role from the original, and also stars Riisa Naka and Masahiro Inoue.[2] The film's tagline is "Let's get ready to fight!" (白黒つけるぜ！, Shirokuro tsukeru ze!, a pun as it contains the kanji for "white" (白, shiro) and "black" (黒, kuro)). The film did poorly in Japanese box offices, which may be due to the film's theme of a religious war with the antagonists portrayed as analogies of the Happy Science movement in Japan.[3]

Plot


By 2025, fifteen years after the events of Zebraman, Aihara Kozou has been elected governor of Tokyo, which then renamed itself Zebra City. It instituted "Zebra Time", a 5-minute period starting at 5:00 AM/PM during which all crime is legal and the government allows the Zebra Police to attack any and all presumed criminals. Once Zebra Time results in the attempted murder of Shinichi Ichikawa, also known as Zebraman. Shinichi, surviving the attack but having lost his memories, teams up with Shinpei (now a doctor) to save a mysterious little girl from Aihara Kouzou, Zebra Queen and her Zebra Police, and then the world from their ultimate plan to use the strange aliens from 2010 to bring Zebra Time to the whole world.
