Kitano: Been a while. I'm Kitano,
your 7th grade teacher. I'm taking Class B over
again. Lets be friends Kitano: Kuninobu. Man, my ass
hurt! Before I quit, I told you not to bother
coming, that you were no good. And you really
started boycotting school. Thats no good! You're
no good, but you thought you'd come along on the
class trip anyway, huh?
Kitano: Listen up! Because of
folks like Kuninobu here, this country's
absolutely no good anymore. So the big-wigs got
together and passed this law...BATTLE ROYALE. So
today's lesson is... you kill each other off 'til
there's only one left. Nothing's against the
rules.
Kitano: Now calm down. This is a
no good adult. You have to work hard not to
become like him. Time to watch the video. Don't
fall asleep now!
Oneesan: The Right Way To Fight a
Battle Royale" by the BR Act Committee.
Hello, everyone in Class B! You are the lucky
class chosen for this year's Battle Royale.
Congratulations! Now, I'm going to explain the
rules for you! Listen well to fight right and
with gusto. You are on a deserted island that
looks like this! Its about 10 kilometers around,
but we evacuated everyone, so it's empty!
Kitano: Sorry. Its against the
rules for me to kill isn't it?
Oneesan: The island is divided
into many zones. Every six hours, your teacher
will broadcast updates about which zones are
becoming danger zones. If you're in those zones,
you should leave quickly because the danger is...
Ok, about the necklaces you're wearing. They're
100% waterproof, shockproof and permenant! It
monitors your pulse, informing us of your
location and movements. So if you linger in a
danger zone, or cause trouble we can identify you
and transmit radio waves that trigger an alarm
and BOOM! It explodes! If you try to rip it off,
it explodes too, so promise not to do that, ok?
Oneesan: Oh, I forgot one
important thing! Theres a time limit on this game!
3 days. If we haven't got a winner after 3 days,
all the necklaces automatically explode! And no
one wins. As long as we're here, lets fight hard
to make sure that doesn't happen!
Mimura: How were we chosen?
Kitano: By impartial lottery
Mimura: One more?
Kitano: Sure
Mimura: Why are you doing this?
Kitano: It's your own damned
fault. You guys mock grown-ups. Go ahead and mock
us but don't you forget...Life is a game. So
fight for survival and find out if you're worth
it
Oneesan: You'll leave the room one
by one, by first you get a kit! Inside is food
and water, a map and compass, a flashlight and a
weapon. So check it out later, ok? The girls
might used personal items so you can all take
them. Each weapon is different. Not just guns and
knives either. Its random, so maybe you'll get
lucky, maybe not. It eliminates natural
advantages. Oh! This one's super lucky!
Kitano: We've notified your
parents... so go for it!
[Pointing at
Kiriyama and Kawada]
Kitano: You probably guessed, but
they're a little dangerous!
Noriko: You're the only one I
trust, Shuya
Nanahara: He needed my help, but i
was helpless...I can't give this up. I'll take
revenge for him. I'll protect you to the end in
this place, Noriko.
Noriko: Thank you...Nanahara. You
never did get to taste those cookies, did you?...
Yamamoto: I'm sorry I couldn't help
you
Ogawa: No. I'm grateful you came.
Yamamoto: What'll happen to us?
Ogawa: I know one thing...
Yamamoto: What?
Ogawa: I'll never play this game
[she throws her bag over the cliff]
[Yamamoto begins to cry]
Yamamoto: Can't anyone help us?
Ogawa: Nobody can....Let's go...
[she holds onto his arm. he covers his eyes]
[they move closer to the edge]
Ogawa: Here goes
[they jump to their death]
Mitsuko: This your weapon?
[she holds up the stungun]
Megumi: Not much use, huh?
Mitsuko: Not necessarily. One zap
at somebody with a bad heart and hes pretty much
a goner.
Megumi: You used one before?
[Mitsuko laughs]
Megumi: Of course not, sorry.
Mistuko: Here
[she hands over the stungun but grabs Megumis
arm roughly]
Megumi: MITSUKO! DON'T!
[Mistuko chases after Megumi]
[Mistuko dives on Megumi and stabs her in the
throat with a sickle]
Mitsuko: This is my weapon. I
thought it was so-so but actually its not so bad.
Found Yoshimi and Kuramoto dead next door, strung
up all cozy. Not my scene! I'LL NEVER DIE LIKE
THAT!
[She slits Megumis throat open]
Kitano: Good morning! How is
everyone? Its now 6am. Time for sleepy heads to
wake up! Heres the list of your dead friends in
the order they died...
Kitano: Its tough when friends
die on you, but hang in there!
Nanahara: Oki? You OK?
[Oki rises from the ground with an axe buried in
his skull]
Oki: Sorry... I'm fine, I'm
fine
[He drops dead]
[Over a
megaphone]
Kusaka: Everybody! Stop fighting!
Please hear us out! This is Kusaka with Yukiko on
the cliffs of the North Mountain. Everybody come
here. We'll figure this out together. We don't
want to fight, right Yukiko?
[She passes her the megaphone]
Yukiko: This is Yukiko. Please
join us. Lets think this through together.
[from opposite side of the mountain,
Nanahara, Noriko and Kawada listen]
Nanahara: Thats the right tactic.
Lets go Noriko
Kawada: Where you goin?
Nanahara: Bring 'em back
Kawada: Without weapons? I'm not
the only deadly one.
[back on the girls side of the mountain,
Mitsuko runs toward their location - sickle in
hand]
Nanahara: All the more if they're
in danger.
[Kawada pushes Nanahara back and shoots his
shotgun, as a warning to get girls away from
where they are]
Kusaka: Stop shooting!
Kawada: Idiots!
Nanahara: [shouts] RUN!!!
Kusaka: That's Nanahara. That was
his voice, right?
[through the megaphone]
Kusaka: Nanahara! Over here, come
here! Yukikos always had a crush on y....
Yukiko: You idiot!
[A sudden blast is heard as a rain of bullets
riddle the two girls. Nanahara, Noriko and Kawada
can only listen from far away. The killer is of
course, Kiriyama. He precedes to shoot the
corpses as they twitch on the grass]
[He walks toward their bodies and notices
that Kusaka is still barely alive. Always the
oppurtunist, Kiriyama takes the megaphone, kicks
Kusaka in the stomach and places it over her
mouth, her cries for help heard by everyone.
Kiriyama shows no mercy and precedes to shoot
again]
Nanahara: Kusaka... KUSAKA! KITANO!
TELL ME ITS NOT TRUE! ANSWER ME! KUSAKA!
Kawada: He'll come here next, I'm
off!
Nanahara: Go whereever you like...
you're a murderer yourself!
Noriko: Nanahara!
Nanahara: They were my friends.
THIS IS CRAZY! HOW CAN THEY JUST KILL EACH OTHER
LIKE THAT!?!
Kawada: There's a way out of this
game. Kill yourselves together, here, now. If you
can't do that, then don't trust anyone... just
run!
[Nanahara and Noriko, stand horrified by what
they've seen as they watch Kawada run away
through the forest]
Hirono: Mitsuko!
Mitsuko: Hirono!
Hirono: Oh great! I finally found
you. This your weapon, Mitsuko?
[she grabs Mistukos sickle from here]
Mitsuko: Yeah...
Hirono: Kinda lame, huh?
Yoshimi's dead, isn't she?
Mitsuko: With Kuramoto
Hirono: Huh. So you saw! Well I
saw Megumi's throat slit, with a sickle or
something
[she throws the sickle at Mitsuko, missing by
a few inches]
Hirono: MITSUKO! You have Megumis
weapon?
Mitsuko: Of course not!
Hirono: But it looked like
someone was here all night. Found a tampon in the
toilet. Megumi wasn't having hers... Mitsuko, you
started yesterday, right?
Noriko: Yukiko had a crush on
you, right?
Nanahara: Whats that got to...
Noriko: Sorry. I'm just a little
jealous is all...
[pointing his
shotgun at Nanahara and Noriko]
Kawada: Pot-lid and binoculars...
Whadya want?
Nanahara: Can I ask you?
Kawada: What?
Nanahara: Why did you help us?
Kawada: My fathers a doctor. You
can believe that or not
Mimura: Shit, so thats their
trick!
Iijima: Eh?
[Mimura gives him the finger and then points
at his laptop]
[He begins typing]
Mimura: They're listening. A mic
in the necklace. Here's your mission. Find the
following: 1. Fertilizer 2. Pesticide 3. Charcoal
4. Sulfer 5. Kerosene
Iijima: Hey, whats this?!
Mimura: Just go!
[Sugimura
cycles while Chigusa runs along side]
Sugimura: Hey Chigusa How far can
you run?
Chigusa: I'll always run in front
of you.
Sugimura: Then I'll always protect
you
Chigusa: Promise?
Niida: Hey, Chigusa! What are
you doing? Still practicing? Hey, wait up. They
all gossiped about us!
Chigusa: You made it all up.
Niida: But you liked it! C'mon
Chigusa, wait... Stay with me!
Chigusa: Don't touch me!
Disgusting!
Niida: Run, I shoot.
[He points the crossbow at her]
Chigusa: Whats that? Ridiculous!
Niida: I'm in love with you, for
real from before...
Chigusa: Wow, great! Wash your
face and try again, if you survive.
Niida: Wait... you're a virgin,
right?
Chigusa: Piss-me-off! God did I
just hear this idiot right?
Niida: [out loud]
Sugimura couldn't do it with you!
Chigusa: Keep Hiroki out of this
Niida: We're gonna die anyway.
Don't you want to do it once, before you die?
Chigusa: Shouldn't you be worried
about your life, instead of that useless peepee
of yours?
Niida: I've decided this game's
a race so I'm playing for real.
Chigusa: So am I! Drop that right
now and let me go or I'll assume you're deadly
and kick you ass. You're warned!
Niida: Cut the crap! I've
already killed. I could force you to do it now!
Chigusa: TRY IT!
[Niida accidently fires the crossbow]
Niida: You, you ok?
[Chigusa touches her face]
Chigusa: You scarred my face!
Niida: It's your fault. You made
me mad!
Chigusa: Always blaming someone
else! Thats why I hate your guts!
[she reaches for her bag and pulls out a
flick-knife]
Chigusa: Come at me. Every inch of
me will resist you! Come at me!!
