What happens

Zebraman 2: Attack on Zebra City (ゼブラーマン -ゼブラシティの逆襲-, Zeburāman -Zebura Shitî 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. 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. On November 29, 2011, Funimation released the film in the United States. The contents of the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack contains movie in Japanese with English subtitles. The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack contains Special Features and making-ofs. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
