Battle Royale Page #2

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?

Boy #7 Kuninobu - dead

What a shame.

l liked the kid, in my own way.

What's that look for, Nanahara?

Ah, something else l need to tell you.

This game has a time limit. Three days.

lf a single survivor

isn't determined in that time

all the necklaces

will automatically explode!

No one will win!

So you may as well fight

as hard as you can

and make sure

that doesn't happen, OK?

OK, any questions so far?

Yes.

Yes, Motobuchi.

lf l survive can l go home?

Sure, but only

if everyone else is dead.

- Yes.

- Yeah, Mimura.

How were we chosen?

By random selection.

- One more?

- Sure.

Why are you doing this?

lt's your own damned fault.

You don't respect adults, do you?

That's fine, if you like.

But don't forget.

Life is a game.

So fight for survival...

and find out if you're worth it.

Now you're going to leave

the classroom one by one.

But before that you'll be given a bag.

lnside is food and water.

A map, compass, flashlight

and weapon. Check it for yourself later.

This one is for the girls - you can take

your personal stuffwith you, too!

Each bag contains a different weapon.

Not everyone will get a gun or knife!

lt's random, with some good

and some not so good at all!

This will give everyone

a fighting chance.

Wow! Someone got lucky with this one!

We've notified your parents.

Just go for it!

OK, you'll be leaving

by class number.

When l call your name,

l want to hear a nice big "here"!

Boy #1 Akamatsu.

Here!

The Game Begins

Day One - 1 :
40am

- Girl #1 lnada.

- Here.

- We'll always be friends.

- l know.

Boy #2 lijima.

Girl #2 Utsumi.

Boy #3 Oki.

Girl #3 Eto.

- l'm going, Noriko.

- Megumi...

Boy #4 Oda.

Girl #4 Ogawa.

Boy #5 Kawada.

Kawada!

Girl #5 Kanai.

Boy #6 Kiriyama.

On the double!

That's my bag.

What the...?

You probably guessed, but our new

transfers are a little dangerous.

Girl #14 Tendo.

Boy #15 Nanahara.

Nanahara!

l'll wait for you...

Nanahara...

What happened...?

What am l going to do...?

What is this...?

Tendo!

Don't, Nakagawa!

Sh*t, what am l doing?

What are you doing...?

ls this yours?

No way...!

Boy #1 Akamatsu,

Girl #14 Tendo - dead

- ls your arm OK?

- l just had to get out of there.

Show it to me.

lt's just a scratch.

l'll wash off the blood.

What's this?

l can't fight with a pot lid!

This is mine...

Those bastards... Goddamn it!

Maybe Mimura and Sugimura

and us could all escape.

- l don't think so.

- Why not?

You won't like me for saying this

but l don't trust any of them either.

Noriko, Noriko!

Shorty, ugly, die!

"Noriko, shorty, ugly, die!"

- What about me?

- What?

Are you scared of me too?

You're the only one l trust, Shuya.
