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?

Think you can get away with it?

Cry, damn you! Beg for forgiveness

from Megumi and Yoshimi!

This was Megumi's.

But this is what l was after.

You b*tch! Murderer!

Why not kill?

Everyone has their issues.

Girl #10 Hirono - dead

Nakagawa, are you OK?

l'm OK, just a little tired.

You're dripping with sweat.

You've got a terrible fever.

Yukiko had a crush on you, right?

This is hardly the time...

Sorry, l'm just a bit jealous.

That's all.

There's a clinic outside the village.

Can you get up?

Hey, Nakagawa!

Come on, now...

Nakagawa!

Pot Lid and Binoculars,

what do you two want?

Nice. The drugs have expired

but they're still working.

Can l ask?

- What?

- Why are you helping us?

My dad's a doctor,

believe it or not.

Ready, lift!

- What are you doing, Mimura?

- Sugimura!

Great, it still works.

How did you find us?

- This is my weapon.

- A tracking device?

Great weapon.

Have you seen Chigusa or Kotohiki?

No, l haven't.

- Right... then l'm off.

- Already?

Sugimura, there may be a way out.

Won't you help us?

Sorry, but l've got to find them.

lf you find Nanahara,

tell him where we are.

OK. l'm off.

Always was a loner.

He said Chigusa and Kotohiki, right?

Why both them?

l thought he was into Chigusa.

Sh*t, so that's their trick!

What is it?

They're listening.

A mic' in the necklace.

Now to business.

Find the following:

- Hey, what is this?

- Just go!

Chigusa, how far

are you planning to run?

Ahead of you, forever.

l'll watch your back forever.

Promise?!

Hiroki.

Hey, Chigusa.

What are you doing?

Training, at a time like this?

Hey, wait.

- They all gossiped about us.

- You made it all up.

But you liked it.

Come on, Chigusa, wait.

Stay with me.

Don't touch me!

You're disgusting!

Run and l'll shoot.

What was that?

Pathetic!

l'm in love with you,

for real, from before...

Wow, great! Wash your face

and try again, if you survive.

Wait! You're a virgin, right?

No way.

Did l just hear this idiot right?

Sugimura isn't man enough to actually

sleep with a woman, after all!

Keep Hiroki out of this.

We're going to die anyway.

Don't you want to do it once,

before you die?

l think you should be

worried about your life

instead of that flaccid thing

in your pants.

l'm taking this game very seriously.

l'm playing it for real.

So am l.

Put that down right now

and let me go.

Or l'll assume you want to kill me

and l'll fight back with all l've got.

You've been warned.

Cut the crap!

l've already killed.

l could just force myself on you!

Try it then!

Are you OK?

You've injured my face.

lt's your fault.

You made me mad.

Always blaming someone else!

That's why l hate your guts!

Come at me.

Every inch of me will resist you!

Boy #16 Niida - dead

Hiroki...

Chigusa... don't die.

Hang on.

God, if this is a bad joke,

please stop messing with me.

lt's really me, Chigusa.

Hiroki...

Who got you?

Mitsuko.

Watch out for her.

- l'm sorry.

- For what?

Last night, l waited for you

outside the school.

But you ran out of there

at top speed, didn't you?

l called, but couldn't catch up.

l didn't know...

Help me sit up.

Hiroki...

Are you in love with anyone?

Yeah.

Not me, right?

No...

Then stay with me like this.

lt won't be long.

God, can l say one more thing?

You look really cool, Hiroki...

You, too.

You're the coolest girl in the world.

Thank you...

Chigusa...

Girl #13 Chigusa - dead

lt's 6 o'clock.

Here's the list of goners.

Girl #10 Hirono.

Boy #16 Niida.

Girl #13 Chigusa. Three in total.

You're slacking.

l'm disappointed in you.

l'm adding more danger zones.

There'll be a new one every hour

from now on, so pay close attention!

From 19:
00, D-1 ,

from 20:
00, C-4.

l-3 from 21 :
00.

- This is good.

- Sure is. My dad's a chef.

Hey...

Thank you for everything.

Have a drink?

No.

l wasn't going to say anything...

But l guess l want you to know.

She's pretty...

- Are you the same age?

- Same class.

Kobe Junior High.

We were in this game

three years ago.

- So you're...?

- A survivor...

...of this f***ing game.

l was desperate to protect Keiko.

l turned a gun on my best friend

so the two of us could survive.

But as the time limit approached

something changed.

Keiko! Keiko!

Really trusting someone...

is a hard thing to do.

But l've never understood...

...the meaning in the smile

she left behind.

Thank you...

l'll have that drink.

But why play all over again?

They kept me back in school

and then dragged me here...

...to shake things up during the game.

But when l woke up here, l vowed

that l wasn't going to die

on this island.

lnstead, l'm going to figure out

what Keiko's last smile meant.

l don't...

What?

l don't know exactly

how Keiko felt.

But she must have...

- Er...

- My name? Kawada.

l think she really loved you, Kawada.

Or she couldn't have smiled

as she did in that photo.

You think...?

l'm sure if l were Keiko,

l'd want to trust and thank you for

giving me a reason to smile like that.

l think l'd have said

thank you, too...

- l do know a way off this island.

- What? But how?

l can only tell you

when the time comes.

Until then, take this as my word.

Use it to protect yourself and...

Noriko Nakagawa.

Shuya Nanahara.

The candles!

Get down!

lt's that same noise.

Who is that?

Probably the one guy

who signed up willingly for this sh*t.

We had one of those, too.

Give me your map.

lfwe get separated,

let's meet at the Takano Shrine.

Don't forget! Stay down!

Why? What did l ever do to you?

Yes, l made it!

What a sweet bulletproof vest!

Boy #4 Oda - dead

Hurry!

- You OK?

- Fine. She's all right, too.

Take care of her!

Don't be crazy!

Nanahara!

Run, Nanahara!

There's your order.

Fertilizer... pesticide...

and kerosene.

Sulphur and charcoal...

l even found a truck to carry it all in.

What are you going to do

with all this crap?

"The Ticking Clock?"

What is this?

My uncle's postcards.

My uncle is an old-time fighter.

He taught me stuff

they never teach you in school.

He's still off fighting

in some corner of the world.

"l hope you smile like this, too."

You're kidding, this is why...

Shinji!

This is the trigger from a bomb.

He was going to use it

to blow up Parliament.

lt's time we started our own struggle,

but there's not much time.

Are you in?

Or would you rather

we just kill each other?

Can we really

all go home together?

Yeah. We'll destroy this stupid system.

Then we'll all escape together.

Day Two 12:
30pm

- Are you awake?

- Where am l?

- The lighthouse.

- Utsumi, why are you...?

You really gave me a surprise.

This morning, when l was on lookout,

Sugimura carried you in, soaked.

- Where's Sugimura?

- He said he had to see someone.

l see...

What time is it?

Noon.

He just finished the noon report.

And Kawada and Nakagawa?

They weren't on the lists.

Who died?

l've missed three reports.

Five altogether.

Oda was on last night's list.

On this morning's update,
