Plot – Spoilers:
Nanahara who survived BR1 is now holed up on an island, from where he coordinates terror attacks on Japan’s adults while wearing some kind of outlaw blanket.

nah this movie aint that bad i watched it on yt
Br1 is a classic, this as far as a sequel is concerned it suck balls, if your one of the very few adults, that visit this site and you have some sort of intelligence, it has some entertaining parts, some dark humor and irony, it’s a pity it is a sequel
BR1 = PUBG
BR2 = Counter Strike
O… K….?
I remember being excited to watch this and thinking ‘Meh!’. Nowhere near as good as the first one
