Source-derived summary

Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace (改造町人シュビビンマン2 新たなる敵, Kaizō Chōjin Shubibinman 2: Aratanaru Teki) is a 1991 video game developed by Winds and released exclusively for the TurboGrafx-16. It was released in the United States in 1992 as Shockman, making it the only game in the Cyber Citizen Shockman series to have a contemporary release outside Japan before the entire series got re-released by Ratalaika Games.

Plot

A New Menace takes about two years after the original Cyber Citizen Shockman. Arnold is no longer a student and works as a cook in a local restaurant. Sonya remains a student. Since the fall of the Dark Skull, Doc has constantly suspected that another invasion was coming sending Arnold and Sonya on searches for the new invaders although never finding anything. However, one day, after Doc is kidnapped, Arnold and Sonya find out that an alien empire led by Ryo is planning to take over the world. Also, two other villains have appeared with similar powers to Arnold and Sonya. They are dark Shockmen named Jeeta and Mue. Arnold and Sonya must now rescue Doc, stop Ryo from taking over the world, and avoid being killed by Jeeta and Mue.

Why this record matters

“Cyber Citizen Shockman 2: A New Menace” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Cyber, Citizen and Shockman provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7499921. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1991 and 1992.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
