Crows Zero 2 was released in Japan on April 11, 2009.

Eight months after triumphing over Serizawa Tamao, Takiya Genji struggles to attain supremacy at Suzuran All-Boys High School. Following a decisive defeat at the hands of the legendary Rindaman and on the verge of graduating without fulfilling his goal, Genji grows desperate and begins challenging Rindaman regularly, but consistently gets defeated in the battle.

Genji's situation escalates when he unwittingly breaks a non-aggression pact between Suzuran and a rival school Housen Academy by saving Kawanishi Noboru during a confrontation. Genji learns that the agreement between the two schools was established two years prior when Noboru violated a gang law due to a skirmish and used a weapon to fatally wound Housen's former leader Bitō Makio. Suzuran had subsequently sworn not to interfere with Housen's retribution upon Noboru's release from prison. With the pact being broken due to Genji's stubbornness, Genji's alliance, mainly Serizawa, asks him to be prepared for the upcoming tension that will be created between the two schools.

Genji's protection of Kawanishi provokes Housen's current leader Narumi Taiga to declare war against Suzuran. Genji and his allies engage in several violent conflicts with Housen's Army of Killers. One such incident leads to the destruction of Suzuran by Gota Washio's foolishness. Washio was previously affiliated with Suzuran, but was banned by Genji, which leads to him joining Housen Academy.

In an attempt to exact revenge on Genji, Washio burnt the entire Suzuran school. This leads to the GPS being united for a final stand against Housen Academy. The gang leaders decide to meet at the top of Housen Academy for the final fight, where Genji finally defeats Narumi and his Army of Killers. On his last day at school, Genji challenges Rindaman again, where Genji manages to knockdown Rindaman, much to everyone's astonishment and happiness, but Genji still lost.

The film was released in Japan on 11 April 2009. It was also screened internationally in Singapore, Russia and Hong Kong throughout 2009. The film was released in US at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on February 6, 2010.

The film grossed US$29,893,636 worldwide.
