"Before I quit, I told you not to bother coming, that you were no good." "And you really started boycotting school." "That's no good." "You're no good, but you thought you'd come along on the class trip anyway." "Listen up!" "Because of folks like Kuninobu here, this country is absolutely no good anymore." "So the bigwigs 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." "What's funny!"

"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 try that, OK?" "You assholes!" "Shut up!" "Can't hear the video." "Cut it out, Nobu!" "Cut it out!" "Quiet!"

"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, let's fight hard so that doesn't happen!" "OK, any questions so far?" "Yes." "Yeah, Motobuchi." "If I survive can I go home?" "Sure, but only if everyone else is dead." "Yes." " Yeah, Mimura." "How were we chosen?" "By impartial lottery." "One more?" " Sure."

"So fight for survival and find out if you're worth it." "You'll leave the room one by one, but 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 may need personal items, so you can all take your own bags." "Each weapon is different." "Not just guns and knives, either." "It's random, so maybe you'll get lucky, maybe not." "It eliminates natural advantages." "This one's super lucky!" "We've notified your parents, so go for it!"

"I don't..." "What?" "I don't know exactly how Keiko felt then..." "But she must have..." "Um..." " My name?" "Kawada" "I think she really loved you." "Or she couldn't have smiled the way she does there." "You think..." "I'm sure If I were Keiko I'd want to trust you and thank you for giving me a reason to smile like that." "I think I'd have said thank you, too..." "I really do know a way off this island." "What!" "But how?" "I can only tell you when the time comes." "Until then, this is my guarantee." "Use it to protect yourself and..." "Noriko." "Nanahara Shuya." "The candles!" "Duck!" "That noise, who is that?" "Probably the guy who signed up for fun." "We had one too." "Gimme the map."

"I'm sorry..." " Let's all go join Kawada." "He knows a way out." " You trust him?" "He survived one of these games." "But you can't even walk yet." "I'm fine..." " Right now, you rest up." "Haruka and Chisato are fixing lunch." "Did you bandage me, Utsumi?" "Yeah." "Never touched a guy before..." "You like Noriko?" "Why...?" "I know all about you..." "You know what that means?" "What?" "Forget it..." "I have to lock you in, OK?" "Some of them don't trust guys." "Lunch in a minute, OK?" "Hey, guys!" "Nanahara's awake." "Really?" "Can he talk?" "Seems hungry, too." "Don't worry, I locked his door." "No, I'm sorry, I'm not worried anymore." "What happened with Oki was an accident." "Of course, Shuya'd never kill anyone." "Spaghetti's about done." "Haruka, go get Yuka from watch." "We need to discuss something." "Roger that." "We're all dying tomorrow..." "Don't start with that." "We won't give up until it's over, OK?" "I think... you'd better feed Nanahara first, don't you?" "Right." "I'll serve his." "Thanks, Yuko." "Hey!" "Still some painkillers left, right?" "I need some for Nanahara." "The cupboard." " I'll get them." "Yukie!" "I hear Nanahara's awake!" "That's so great!" "You!" "Don't pretend, I know you're happy." "Smells great... great job, Chisato." "Let me taste test." "Super!" "Marry me, Chisato!" "C'mon, Yuka!" " Calm down now." "What did you want to discuss, Yukie?" "Nanahara says Kawada knows a way off the island." "That Kawada?" " Can we trust him?" "Can't tell yet." "But once Nanahara can walk, let's join Kawada and Noriko..." "What!" "What's wrong!" "Yuka!" "She's dead..." " Why..." "Not food poisoning..." "Deadly food poisoning..." "I tasted it, I'm fine." "It's poison!" "Poison!" "Who!" "Who did it?" "!" "Satomi, don't!" " It's just some mistake!" "We're the only ones here!" "Chisato, you cooked it, right?" "It wasn't me!" "Haruka cooked too." " Me poison!" "It was nobody, cut it out!" "Lower that gun!" "You're suspicious yourself!" "Haruka!" " Last 2 nights, you didn't sleep at all..." "It just means you don't trust us." " Forgot my sleeping pills..." "Insomnia at your age!" " Cut it out!" "Satomi, lower that gun!" "Shut up dammit!" "Yukie, cut the leadership crap!" " Chisato..." "You screwed up the poisoning..." " How can you say that?" "You schemed with Nanahara to escape together!" "Was it you!" "Chisato!" "Goddammit!" "Ouch!" "It hurts you assholes!" "I'm bleeding, dammit!" "Look who's talking!" "Murderer!" "Shut the fuck up!" "You tried to steal the gun, so you're guilty!" "Take that!" "Not you, right..." "You don't belong to their group..." "At least..." "I thought I'd live until tomorrow." "What idiots..." "We might have all survived..." "We're all so stupid..." "Stupid!" "It's not my fault..." "It's not my fault..." "It's not my fault!" "What happened, Utsumi!" "What happened, hey, Utsumi!" "I'm sorry, Nanahara..." "I even forgot..." "that they're all my friends..." "Why?" "Utsumi..." "Why..." "You know what that means?" "You know what that means?" "How should I know!" "I don't know what any of it means!" "Girls #2, Yukie, #9 Yuko, #12 Haruka, #1 7 Satomi, #19 Chisato Dead. 10 To Go." "Call for you." "Hello." " Hello, mister." "Oh, Shiori?" "Mom's feeling bad again." "On a business trip, can't get home 'til tomorrow." "Huh, don't bother coming home." "Hanging up." "Uh huh..." "Mister, don't breathe like that, your bad breath even stinks over the phone." "You OK?" "I had a dream..." "What dream?" "I was alone with Kitano on an empty riverbank." "Must've been scary." "But Kitano just seemed lonely." "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..." "Some things are better not to know." "Rain on its way." "I hope Nanahara can find us here." "I told you to wait!" "Another useless day." "My phone never rings." "Even my cell phone's useless." "See, it's out of range." "May I take your order?" " Just wait." "That's fine." "Don't know how many resumes I wrote." "I'm just wiped." "They always hang up on me." "Miss, gimme some water." " Yes, in a minute." "Order what you want." "You start 7th grade tomorrow, go for it." "I say "go for it," but I never taught you anything." "Your order?" " I told you to wait!" "Try some place else?" "Go Shuya!" "You can make it, Shuya!" "Shuya..." "Look after Noriko, OK?" "Promise you'll protect her." "Where you goin'?" " To meet Nanahara." "Hey!" "We're near a danger zone!" "Where are you!" "Noriko!" "Mitsuko." "What's up?" "I'm looking for Nanahara." "Got separated?" "Noriko, where are you!" "Who's that?" " Kawada." "Two princes protecting you." "A real princess." "Mitsuko!" " Die, ugly." "Hey." "You don't look so bad." "Oh, you got Nanahara with you." "Nanahara!" "Shuya!" "Shuya!" "Don't catch cold." "You came to meet me?" "I brought weapons." "Weapons... why?" "I'm weak and useless but I'll stay by your side..." "I'll protect you." "That's why I brought weapons..." "Shuya..." "Kotohiki... that you?" "Kotohiki." "Answer me!" "Hurry, run..." "What?" "Someone will come, drawn to the gunshots... run!" "Why?" "Sugimura, why?" "You're so cute." "What are you talking about!"
