Description: In “Parasyte: Part 2” (2015), the police enlist the help of serial killer Uragami, who possesses a unique ability to identify parasites among humans. However, he fails to detect Shinichi Izumi, who continues his mission to eliminate parasites terrorizing humanity. Assisted by Migi, the parasite inhabiting his right hand, Shinichi hunts down these creatures months after the events of the first film. His efforts are complicated when Shiro Kuramori, a reporter working for parasite Ryoko Tamiya, discovers the truth about Migi and plans to expose Shinichi. Shinichi warns Kuramori about Tamiya’s nature and urges him to stay safe, but Kuramori ignores the warning.
Meanwhile, Tamiya, now a mother to a human child, becomes fiercely protective of her baby and even kills other parasites who threaten him. Despite Shinichi’s caution, Kuramori confronts mayor Takeshi Hirokawa, the leader of a parasitic organization, and records their conversation. This leads to a tragic chain of events: Kuramori’s daughter is killed by the parasites, prompting him to kidnap Tamiya’s son and threaten to kill the baby. Tamiya and Shinichi try to stop him, but Kuramori’s actions result in his death at Tamiya’s hands. When the police intervene, Tamiya sacrifices herself to protect her child, realizing the depth of human emotions. Before dying, she entrusts her son to Shinichi.
In a parallel storyline, a secret service team uncovers Hirokawa’s alliance with parasites and launches an attack, eliminating most of the parasites, including Hirokawa. However, one parasite, Goto, proves nearly invincible due to hosting five parasites. After massacring the team, Goto pursues Shinichi, forcing Migi to sacrifice himself to save Shinichi in the film’s climactic moments.
