I feel like a lot of those people are people who don't know one of the sources and are just like "people randomly selected to die!" because that's literally the only connection. That's not even really how Battle Royale works.

no, it's not. It's how The Lottery worked. The Battle Royale connection is that it's a fight to the death in a confined space, and the only contestants are teenagers. oh and that some of em luck out with weapons, and some really don't. That's it.

I just said the connections were shallow ones, man. Which is why even though I saw and then read BR a bunch of years ago, when I read THG even in the midst of all this finger-pointing I was just like

No, I'm not talking about HG, I'm saying between Battle Royale and The Lottery. I can't figure out how multiple people came up with that connection if they've read both, since there really isn't one.

I helped start this, but I'd imagine because the classroom is chosen at random?

That's me stretching though. If it's all based on one scene, I conclude that I don't get it because people were trying too hard to connect it in the first place.

It's the class being selected at random for the good of the people. That's it. And the author acknowledged it was one of his influences so that's where it comes from.
