Presentation.

 

Here is the author, Mr Takami. This is the book... ...this is the movie... ...and this is the manga!

Here is the author, Mr Takami. 

Battle royale was written in 1998 by Koushun Takami. Though he might not be well-known to you, Mr Takami is very famous in japan, his native country. He was born near Osaka in 1969. After studying litterature, the author was a journalist from 1991 to 1996. Since then he has made a living out of writing novels.

The best-selling book was first published on the 22nd of april 1999, in the country where the sun rises. The book was such a success that it was adapted on the big screen with Battle Royale (kinji Fukasaku, 2000) and Battle Royale 2: Requiem (Kenta & Kinji Fukasaku, 2003) ; it also inspired a manga Blitz Royale (Soleil manga, 2006).

Battle royale is what one can call a thriller. It is a very complete novel ( contains action, feelings,etc) but the dominant mood is action and suspense.

 

Setting and athmosphere.

 

The story takes place in japan, during the early 21st century. but the world in Battleroyale is not the same that the one we know about. it is a world where the nazis have won the 2nd world war and where 3 empires struggle for power: the republic of greater east asia, the empire of the european lands and the american empire (the only allied country left). As you may have guessed, japan is the republic of greater east asia and for their government, the american empire is "officiellement qualifié de nation hostile." The athmosphere of this book is very tense and frustrating because of the conditions in which the characters are into. This "situation" will be explained in the summary.

 

The plot.

 

 As the new millenium started, the republic of greater east asia crumbled. The unemployment rate got to 15%. More than 800,000 students refused to go to school. The grown-ups started fearing the young and adopted a law that revolutionized the educative system called "battle royale".

 

What is "battle royale"?

litterally, a battle royale is a special kind of catch match. a dozen of fighting champions fight simultaneously on the ring. they're allowed to make teams, to be stronger, but the match finishes when all the champions are K.O except one.

In the book, the government of the fictive japan used the idea of  the battleroyale in order to stop the crisis (see beggining of article). Each year, a class of 3e of the republic of greater east asia would be chosen.

The students are taken to a desert island where Battle royale will take place.

 

Each pupil wears an electronic necklace. This necklace may be used by the Organizators to spy the players with an intern microphone, obtain information on the players thanks to captors on the necklace, and make the necklace explode if the player did not follow the rules (please note that the necklaces are indestructible and water-proof).

At the beginning of the Battle royale, each player receives a back pack containing food and water, a map of the playing area ( in this case it’s an island ), a compass, a flash light and a random weapon to fight.

The island is divided in zones. Each 2 hours, a zone becomes forbidden (if any player goes in it, his necklace explodes). Every six hours, the head teacher tells the remaining players through huge speakers in the island which zone becomes forbidden and who died since the last announce.

 

If there are no death for 24 hours or if there is no winner after three days of game, the Battle royale stops and all the necklaces explode in the same time.

 

This is the situation in which the 3eB of the Shiwoa College gets involved in. Battle royale is about the survival of those adolescents during “the program” as the head teacher likes to call it. But anybody could guess that this Battle royale is going to be a little special. Read the book if you want to know about it!
