Battle Royale II: Requiem

Battle Royale II: Requiem is set three years after the original film, following Shuya Nanahara who has become a notorious terrorist leading the group Wild Seven. Their devastating attack kills thousands in Tokyo, prompting the government to implement a new Battle Royale program where students fight in pairs connected by deadly collars. They must hunt down Nanahara within three days or face death themselves.
