Siren 2 is a PlayStation 2 game released worldwide in 2006, except for North America. It's a sequel to Siren 1, but the stories don't directly link with one another.In 1976, Yamijima Island's electricity was mysteriously cut off from the rest of Japan. A woman was washed up and was found by Shu Mikami, whose name was Kanae. The thing is... Kanae looked like Shu's deceased mother. Later on, a tsunami was reported to have wiped out the island's town and the villagers. The Japanese government couldn't explain why it happened.In 2005, various persons show up in Yamijima Island for various reports. Some wanted to know what led to the tsunami. Others sought refuge there while a squad of Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces soldiers made an emergency landing there. After that... things go wrong. The shibito make their presence known, forcing the survivors to fight them and find a way off the island.A movie adaptation, known as Siren, was released on February 9, 2006 to coincide with the game's Japanese release.

Cherry Tapping: Most of the cast get a shove when trying to attach without a weapon, that only does "stun" damage unless you manage to shov ean enemy off a high-enough ledge. However, Misawa and Yorito can attack Shibito with a punch-punch-kick melee combo, and Soji can do a lightly damaging kick, both of which are technically capable of killing Shibito/Yamibito; that said, the low damage of these attacks and the fact these characters always start with weapons means they rarely see use.

comment
Bittersweet Ending: The threats of Mother and Otoshigo are ended and the island is purified - but only four characters make it out. Ikuko and Mamoru make it out alive, back in the real world and Yorito is stuck in the land of the Yamibito - only he doesn't take it as well as Suda did in the first game, and the poor man loses his mind at the sight of it. Abe also manages to live in the Golden Ending, and since the new timeline results in the girl he was accused of murdering never being born in the first place, he gets his own happy ending as well.

comment
Kryptonite-Proof Suit: The "doves" Mother sends out are modeled off the anatomy of a human being (Shu's drowned mother, whose corpse into Mother's dimension), and so possess a degree of resistance to sunlight that she and her Yamirei lack. This wears off after extensive time in the sunlight however, even if the dove tries to stay in the shade. From the same game, Otoshigo's Shiryo die upon exposure to bright light (such as a powerful flashlight), but by possessing corpses they create Yamibito, who are more resistant, only being stunned by light exposure.

Improbable Weapon User: Over the course of the game, Mamoru Itsuki, Ikuko Kifune, and Akiko Kiyota all pick up mysterious fossils known as YamiNaki or Annuaki shards. These appear to be fragments of the ancestor god of Mother and Otoshigo, and in the second battle, they actually transform to resemble glowing swords. Also, at one point while playing as Ichiko, you can kill a Shibito and grab the item he was holding, a trophy about half Ichiko's height, which doubles as an Archive Item and a melee weapon.

Bolivian Army Ending: At the end of the game, Private Yorito Nagai is swept into what seems to be an alternate dimension populated entirely by Yamibito. The sight drives him insane, and he starts shooting wildly as we fade to credits.

Not Quite the Right Thing: Yorito Nagai sees Takeaki Misawa, his JGSDF superior (who has been acting increasingly unstable) holding Ichiko Yagura at gunpoint. So he shoots him in the back. This comes back to bite him twofold.

Alternate Universe: After Mother is destroyed, all the surviving protagonists are sent to a version of their world where she never existed, save for Yorito Nagai who ends up in a completely different universe where the Yamibito are normal and humans are the dangerous monsters - or at least that's how they see it, considering the sight drives him to immediately go on a killing spree.

Invincible Minor Minion: The corpses of the Shibito and Yamibito are simply possessed by new Shiryo or Yamirei within moments, which apparently heals the body. Explained by the island's belief that if corpses aren't staked with Mekkojou branches, they will be unable to go to Heaven and their bodies will be possessed by evil spirits.

Ret-Gone: Played with. The defeat of Mother shunts all those in her presence into an alternate world free of her influence. This has an unexpected benefit for Soji Abe, when the woman he's accused of murdering never existed.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Siren 2 (Video Game) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Siren 2 explores this with both the Shibito and the Yamibito. In Yorito Nagai's ending, he ends up trapped in a world full of Yamibito. This causes him to snap and fire at all the Yamibito around him in blind rage. However, the Yamibito of this world were just normal people living their everyday lives. An archive entry, a picture diary drawn by a Yamibito child, revealed that he was just as alien and terrifying to them as they were to him. There's also a secret mission where the JGSDF helicopter pilot Nitaka Ichifuji, who turned into a Shibito, helps a fellow Shibito recover a steam iron left by a loved one.

Continuity Nod: In Siren 2, Takeaki Misawa was the soldier who was part of a JGSDF SAR team that responded to the Hanuda disaster after the events of Siren and was the one to rescue Harumi Yomoda. Shu Mikami's father Ryuhei was an acquaintance of Tamon Takeuchi's father, Omito.

The End... Or Is It?: At the end of Siren 2, Ikuko and Mamoru seem to have been shunted to a world free of Mother's influence...but then Ikuko shields her eyes from the light, just like one of Mother's avatars would, as the music turns somewhat menacing and a slight hint of an evil smile starts to creep onto her face.

Bottomless Magazines: As Ichiko Yagura is taken over by Otoshigo, she has periods of murderous insanity, wherein she (somehow) gets a machine pistol with infinite ammo. Yorito Nagai also gets a machine gun with infinite ammo for the battle against Otoshigo. Shibito also have reserve infinite ammunition for any guns they have as in the first game, which considering you can actually drop and replace your own weapon(s) allows for a very slow and very dangerous manner in which to replenish your own ammo.

Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?

comment
Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?: Yorito Nagai kills Otoshigo by weakening it with bullets, causing it to crash into a fuel tank, then setting it ablaze by hitting it with an electric lightbulb attached to a generator. Mamoru, Ikuko, and Kanae (formerly Akiko) arm themselves with the YamiNaki shards to fight Mother. Kanae stabs herself, weakening Mother through their connection, and Ikuko uses her powers to freeze Mother, allowing Mamoru to strike, sending her to the ground, where Ikuko can hit her. Finally, Mamoru lands the finishing blow, and the threat of Mother is gone forever.

Anti-Frustration Features: The second game goes even further to offer more helpful features to alleviate the intense difficulty of the first game, while still making it reasonably challenging: A pulsating sound will occur whenever an enemy is nearby, giving the player an opportunity to hide and plan ahead. Upon collecting a Secondary Objective Key or Archive Item, they will not disappear from your inventory if you die. The Stage Select feature, which had to be unlocked after completing a certain amount of levels in the first game, is available right away.

Set a Mook to Kill a Mook: During the few levels where the Shibito aren't outright replaced by the Yamibito, the two will typically attack each other before they go after the player. Additionally, Ikuko can temporarily possess any enemy through sightjacking and take out other enemies with them.
