Sakura Taisen 2: Kimi, Shinitamou Koto Nakare (lit. “You Shall Not Die”), takes place in a renewed Teito Tokyo (“Imperial Capital Tokyo”), one years after Hanagumi Squad Leader Ichirou Ohgami returned to the Imperial Navy. Returning from a Pacific-to-Atlantic shakedown cruise, Ensign Ohgami is reassigned to lead the Hanagumi (“Flower Division”) of the Imperial Assault Force (Teikoku Kagekidan), defending the capital from mysterious new demonic forces, this time with a curious relationship to the original “Kouma War” that devastated the city and sparked the formation of the Assault Force itself. Still operating in secret under the Grand Imperial Theater, the group still performs in sold-out operas and revues.
