* BigBad: Nursultan Nazerbayev, the leader of Kazakhstan, has spent the last fourteen years punishing Borat after his first film ruined Kazakhstan's reputation. He sends Borat back to America to win favour with Donald Trump's government and threatens him with death if he fails in his mission, though [[spoiler:this is later revealed to be an elaborate plot to have Borat spread COVID-19, enacting revenge against the world for Kazakhstan's embarrassment]].

* GrandFinale: For the Borat character anyway. Cohen didn't intend on making a second ''Borat'' film to begin with until the events of 2020 struck such a nerve with him he felt it necessary to bring the character back. After this, he has his doubts he can bring the character back a third time around.

* GreaterScopeVillain: Borat never meets UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump face-to-face and the latter doesn't appear in person at all, though his presence is consistently felt throughout Borat and Tutar's journey. Borat initially holds Trump up as the [[DamnedByAFoolsPraise pinnacle of America's greatness]], but through its portrayal of his followers and representatives, the film constantly presents Trump's abuse of presidential power and his cult-like influence as a serious danger to America and the world.

** Even the people being mocked or the butt of the jokes are nicer or more complex in the sequel; for example, compare the fine diners in the first movie disgusted with Luenell's mere presence, whereas in the second movie the people attending the ball all start jamming out to Borat's and Tutar's unorthodox dance and music, only becoming disgusted when it gets graphic. The rednecks who take Borat in, despite being fully hooked to conspiracies and despising Democrats, clearly recognize women's rights and don't care about Borat breaking their rules (with Baron Cohen in an interview even referring to them as genuinely good people corrupted by fake news); compare this to the highly misogynistic, seemingly unredeemable frat bros from the first movie.
* SpiritualSuccessor: Largely out of [[RealityEnsues necessity]], the movie has a lot of similarities to one of Baron Cohen's other projects, ''Series/WhoIsAmerica'', where he took on a variety of different unknown disguised personas to continue the shtick he started with Borat and Ali G. Footage of Baron Cohen as Borat as Country Steve singing the "China Virus song" made the news in June 2020 and was widely believed to be for a second season of ''Who Is America'' before ''Borat 2'' was released. [[note]]In filming, Country Steve had a perfect American accent, which is more characteristic of ''Who Is America?'' than Borat. The final film dubs his singing with Borat badly attempting an American accent.[[/note]]

After the release of his eponymous film, Borat Sagdiyev was accused of humilating Kazakhstan with his movie, and he was sentenced to imprisonment in a gulag for life. Fourteen years later, however, the country's Premier Nursultan Nazarbayev offers him a pardon, provided that he completes a mission to deliver the Kazakh Minister of Culture, [[EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys Johnny the Monkey]], to US President Donald Trump in an attempt to redeem the nation.
