Plot

Twenty years after the events of the original series, a Japanese girl known only as K is arrested in New York for beating 11 policemen. Though held in a straitjacket, she escapes by dislocating her own shoulder and attempts to exit the facility, but a moment of kindness to comfort a little girl leads to her recapture. Japanese inspector Kazutoshi Kira informs K that her mother will be deported to Japan for brutalizing a mugger and living illegally in New York unless K agrees to work for the reactivated Sukeban Deka program. After hesitating due to her strained relationship with her mother, K accepts and receives a hi-tech steel yo-yo weapon along with the new name Saki Asamiya. She is ordered to infiltrate Seisen Academy, an elite high school suspected of being the source of a website called Enola Gay that rallies juvenile suicide bombers across Japan. She learns that another Sukeban operative was sent earlier but committed suicide, and that a 72-hour counter has appeared on the site. Saki investigates the chemistry club, which the previous operative was probing before her death, and struggles to save two suicide bombers, Amaki and Higashiyama, who use Tae as a human shield. Saki captures Higashiyama while Amaki is saved from her bomb by school janitor Jirou Kimura. Kira interrogates Higashiyama and tells Saki that the Enola Gay website is run by a user named Romeo, but Higashiyama is abducted by thugs despite Saki's efforts. Tae reveals that she and a fellow bullied student named Kotomi Kanda used to run an anti-bullying website until Kanda snapped and attempted suicide by bombing, leaving her catatonic in a hospital and allowing Enola Gay to replace their site. Reika interrupts and reveals that Kotomi fell in love with a man who compelled her to blow herself up. At the hospital, Kotomi gives the name Jirou Kimura, who is revealed to be Romeo. Kimura kidnaps Saki and ties her to a bomb, which she must escape from. Meanwhile, Reika reveals herself as Romeo's lover and hosts an assembly to celebrate his ideology while Romeo and his gang rob a bank in Tokyo. Tae is strapped to another bomb but is saved by the returning Saki. Saki chases Reika, who holds Tae hostage, and faces her in a duel. It's revealed that Reika is a former operative of Tokumei Keiji and wields her own armed yo-yo with blades. Though initially overpowered, Saki defeats Reika by burying her under metal pipes. Saki then confronts Romeo and his gang, who have taken Tae, Amaki, and Higashiyama as bomb-strapped hostages. Thanks to a bulletproof uniform, Saki takes out the villains. Romeo disables her yo-yo by slicing the string with his katana, but she still knocks him out. Saki removes the bombs from the hostages but leaves Romeo's to explode, killing him. At the end, Saki calls her mom, who is implied to be the first Saki Asamiya from the original series. After bidding farewell to Tae and Kotomi, Kira informs Saki of a new mission.
