Re: That's not how Battle Royale works

How can they limit your food if you're on an island? Especially since I presume this is around Japan? There's tons of sea life, shellfish on the beach, etc. Similarly, de-salination and rain collection will make good on the water shortage.

How do you think people survive on desert islands?

Question: have you read or watched the series?

For example, in the movie, people have 3 days until everyone gets killed by way of the collars around their necks exploding, so it's either one survivor or no one.

Re: That's not how Battle Royale works

[ariakas]

Hahahah nope. All I know is that it's a bunch of schoolkids killing each other on an island because Japan.

Wait, so who supposedly put these collars on us? In Japan, there's probably some commentary about obedience - or lack thereof - to authority but here, wouldn't people just riot or hide before that ever happened? And if the collars go off if you leave the island, they have to be remotely triggered - i.e. by a cellular or radio signal. Just go into a cave or anything with rock cover and smash it.

Kids are told it's a field trip, gassed to sleep on a bus, then collared. They wake up on the island

Re: That's not how Battle Royale works

[ariakas]

Well as I'm 31-years-old, I have no idea why I'd be on a field trip, so I think I'm safe ;p

Re: That's not how Battle Royale works

They're sleeping gas'd on a field trip. It's definitely a commentary about obedience and authority, but also how about how harsh and dehumanizing Japanese society can be, I think (especially the educational system) (I'm probably phrasing that in a shitty way but I hope you know what I mean)

Re: That's not how Battle Royale works

[ariakas]

Well I figured it had something to do with the educational system, since some universities - as opposed to taking the top scorers from everywhere - will take a certain allotment from certain schools. And even in just good high schools the competition can be fierce - if you've ever watched Fushigi Yuugi, there's one scene where Miaka's mother bitches her daughter out for encouraging her best friend to apply to the same school, because if that friend does well it's one spot taken and thus less of a chance she'll get in.

Hence, 15-year-olds killing themselves for not getting into the high school of their choice (better high school = higher allotment for good colleges = better career prospects).
