Battle Royale Page #3

Synopsis: Forty-two students, three days, one deserted Island: welcome to Battle Royale. A group of ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school have been forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are each given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and a few rations of food and water and sent off to kill each other in a no-holds-barred (with a few minor rules) game to the death, which means that the students have three days to kill each other until one survives--or they all die. The movie focuses on a few of the students and how they cope. Some decide to play the game like the psychotic Kiriyama or the sexual Mitsuko, while others like the heroes of the movie--Shuya, Noriko, and Kawada--are trying to find a way to get off the Island without violence. However, as the numbers dwell down lower and lower on an hourly basis, is there any way for Shuya and his classmates to survive?

Oh, l'm sorry.

Why?

l called you Shuya, just like Nobu...

Nobu...

Hey, Shuya?

Do you have a crush

on anyone at the moment?

Why? Do you?

Maybe l kind of like someone...

Who?

Noriko Nakagawa.

- From our class?

- Yeah.

Yeah, she's nice.

You agree?

She's really sweet.

She wrote to me saying,

"Come back to school.

"Let's all go

on the school trip together."

Even if she didn't really mean it...

lt's nice to have someone

waiting for you.

We were roommates

in the foster home after Dad died.

When l was depressed

after l quit baseball

he taught me the guitar.

l had to invite him...

No, he was happy he came back.

Really happy...

But l couldn't help Nobu either.

He needed my help

but l couldn't do a thing.

l can't give this up.

l'll take revenge for him.

l'll protect you right to the end,

just like he would have done.

Thank you... Nanahara.

You never got to taste

those cookies, did you?

Numai's gang took Kiriyama.

They're not wasting any time.

What's this?

You got a good one!

Some transfer student!

Are you in this together with Kitano?

- Going to make us kill each other.

- None of us is killing anyone.

You might as well come clean now.

Are you listening?

A**hole!

Why? Stop...

Boys #9 Kuronaga, #10 Sasagawa,

#14 Tsukioka, #1 7 Numai,

Girl #5 Kanai - dead

l'm sorry, Sakura.

l'm not much help, am l?

No, l'm grateful you came with me.

What will happen to us?

- l know one thing.

- What?

l'll never play this game.

Maybe someone will save us!

No.

Let's go.

Here goes...

Boy #21 Yamamoto,

Girl #4 Ogawa - dead

Mimura...

Who's there?

Oh, it's you, Megumi.

Who is it?

Mitsuko...

Were you going to kill me

with that stun gun?

What...? Oh, l'm sorry.

l was never friendly with your group,

but you're OK.

- So l can come in?

- Sure, come in.

Pictures of Mimura.

Oh, no...!

ls this your weapon?

Not much use, huh?

Not necessarily.

One zap at someone with a bad heart

and they'll pretty much be a goner.

Have you used one before?

Of course not, sorry!

Here.

Mitsuko! Don't!

This is my weapon.

l thought it was so-so.

But actually it's not so bad.

l found Yoshimi and Kuramoto

dead next door.

Strung up all cosy together.

Not my scene!

l'll never die like that!

Girls #3 Megumi, #21 Yoshimi,
