Battle Royale

Mitsuko Souma:
What's wrong with killing? Everybody's got their reasons.

Shogo 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.

Teacher Kitano:
So today's lesson is...you kill each other off until there's only one left. Nothing's against the rules!

Training Video Girl:
Each weapon is different. Not just guns or knives either! It is random so maybe you will get lucky, maybe not. It eliminates natural advantages.(picks up axe) Oooh. This one is SUPER lucky.

Kyouichi Motobuchi:
If I survive, may I go home?

Teacher Kitano:
Sure, but only if everyone else is dead.

Shinji Mimura:
How were we chosen?

Teacher Kitano:
By impartial lottery.

Mimura:
One more.

Kitano:
Sure.

Mimura:
Why are you doing this?

Kitano:
It's your own damn 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.

[Shogo has just finished bandaging Noriko's leg]

Shuya Nanahara:
You know a lot about medicine.

Shogo Kawada:
Well, my father was a doctor.

Shogo Kawada:
[Noriko wakes up abruptly] You okay?

Noriko Nakagawa:
I had a dream...

Kawada:
What dream?

Nakagawa:
I was alone with Kitano on an empty riverbank.

Kawada:
Must've been scary.

Nakagawa:
But Kitano just seemed lonely.

Kawada:
Hmmm.

Nakagawa:
Before this, I always just thought of myself as normal. I'd have a normal marriage, age normally, just like my mom... but when this game started, I realized - it's just that I was sheltered.

Kawada:
Some things are better not to know.

Hiroki Sugimura:
I've been in love with you for a long, long time...

Kayoko Kotohiki:
[cries] What am I supposed to do now?

Mitsuko Souma:
Die.

Shogo Kawada:
Meeting you guys, I finally solved the riddle of Keiko's smile.

Noriko Nakagawa:
What's the answer?

Shogo Kawada:
Her parting words - Thank you - and then...

Shuya Nanahara:
And then? [Kawada drops his cigarette] Kawada!

Nakagawa:
Kawada!

Kawada:
And then - I'm glad I found true friends.

Could you kill your best friend?

One Dead. 41 To Go.

42 Students, Three Days, One Survivor, No Rules.

Today, I killed my best friend.

Have you ever killed your best friend?

Shuya Nanahara:
[to Noriko Nakagawa] I'm weak, I'm useless, but I'll stay by your side; I'll protect you.
