Battle Royale takes place in an alternate timeline - Japan is a police state, known as the Republic of Greater East Asia (大東亜共和国 Dai Tōa Kyōwakoku). Under the guise of a "study trip," a group of students from Shiroiwa Junior High School (城岩中学校 Shiroiwa Chūgakkō) in the fictional town of Shiroiwa (Kagawa Prefecture) are sleep-gassed on a bus. They awaken in the Okishima Island School on Okishima, an isolated, evacuated island southwest of Shodoshima, also in Kagawa Prefecture. They learn that they have been placed in an event called The Program. Officially a military research project, The Program is a means of terrorizing the population, of creating such paranoia as to make organized insurgency impossible. According to the rules, every year since 1947, fifty 3rd year junior high school (14-15 years old) classes are isolated, and each class is required to fight to the death until one student remains. Their movements are restricted by metal collars, later identified as Model Guadalcanal No. 22, around their necks which contain tracking and listening devices; if any student should attempt to escape The Program, or enter declared "danger zones", a bomb will be detonated in the collar, killing the wearer. If no student dies in any 24 hour period, all collars will be detonated simultaneously.

After being briefed about The Program, the students are issued survival packs which include a map, compass, flashlight, food and water, and a random weapon or other item, which may be anything from a gun to a paper fan. During the briefing, two students (Fumiyo Fujiyoshi and Yoshitoki Kuninobu) anger the supervisor, Kinpatsu Sakamochi, who kills both. As the students are released onto the island, they each react differently to their predicament; beautiful delinquent Mitsuko Souma murders those who stand in her way using deceiving tactics, Hiroki Sugimura attempts to find his best friend and his secret love, and Shinji Mimura makes a failed attempt to escape the Program.

In the end, four students remain: protagonist Shuya Nanahara, Noriko Nakagawa, Shogo Kawada - a survivor of a previous instance of the Program - and antagonist Kazuo Kiriyama. Following a car chase and shoot-out between Kazuo and the main characters, Noriko kills Kazuo by shooting him with a revolver. Shogo then takes his two partners to a hill. After telling Shuya and Noriko that he will kill them, Shogo shoots in the air twice, faking their deaths for the microphones planted on the collars. He then dismantles the collars. While Shogo is on the winner's ship, Shuya and Noriko have also boarded. On the ship, Shogo kills Sakamochi and a soldier ,while Shuya kills the other soldiers on board. Shogo tells Shuya how to escape, succumbs to his wound from the battle with Kiriyama and dies. The two remaining students return to the mainland and find a clinic belonging to a friend of Shogo's father. From there, they make plans to escape to the U.S., facing an uncertain future as they run from the authorities.

  • @VanillaIcecreamRules ok seriously, why do people keep saying that Lord of the flies is similar?

  • @wwhulk12 Nope, sub only.

  • -.- I'm halfway through the book,and it's honestly amazing.It's pretty much a free for all,every page has you shocked again and again.I noticed all of the arguing about the Hunger Games in these comments -.- I've also read the Hunger Games,which was a well written,addicting trilogy,but gore and graphic violence wise,Battle Royale takes the cake.Both are addicting,couldn't put them down for a second,and though the storylines may be somewhat similar,they are at the same time completely different.

  • Please tell me there's an eng dub

  • Girl: wtfbbq, WHERE THE KILLCAM!?

    Teacher: *troll face*

  • No one copied anybody! Do any of y'all know how many books have the same concept of battle royale and the hunger games?! Here's a few: The Running Man, Dead Famous, and Lord of the Flies. So this concept of people killing each other is not any new plot under the sun.

  • LOL haha the teacher "oh whoops...I'm not allowed to kill"

  • However amazing this trailer may be, it does no justice to the film OR book, so all you rabid Hunger Games fans stop commenting about how awsome and better it is if you havent read the book. You honestly have no right to. P.S, I who have read BOTH find Battle Royale to be far supirior and much more realistic.

  • Haha its against the rules for me to kill isn't it?
