Whatever, just wash your hands.
Id find the biggest assholes and make sure they didn't make it, I don't know if I would survive but I sure as hell wouldn't let them.

Best typo I've seen all week! I'm now stuck with the image of a strange gypsy woman reading the future in a mangy dog's back.

OT: Probably what I would do is freeze up and get killed by one of my blood-thirsty classmates. I've not that good under pressure...

Picture this, you're from Japan and your highschool class is in the program this year. How do you deal with this?

For those that are unaware of Battle Royale, it is the more violent and Japanese version of the Hunger Games. I've been reading the mange recently so I was thinking how I would react to this situation.

What would you do if this impossible situation happened to you? Would you follow the Shuuya approach and just point blank refuse to go along with it or would you go the Souma route and kill every other person you see.

I want to think that I would try to protect other people and sacrific myself for someone else because to be honest I'm sure someone else is worth more to society. Saying that I may just surcome to fear and just try to save myself.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that accordance to the program, Everyone is fitted with a special collar that will explode if no one dies in the first 24 hours and if there isn't a winner in 3 days everyones collar explodes. For the ratings, this is being broadcast nationwide
What I never got from the manga is why, when handed the bag containing the weapon and provisions, nobody immediately checked whether they had a gun or grenades so they could immediately go back and kill the guy clearly in charge. No, they all went out of the building and scattered like mice. I guess there are the guards, but all they show in the manga is the classroom (with guards), then some long unguarded corridor and then you're outside, again no guards in sight.

This is all before the school becomes a permanent no-go area.

With this kind of thing I don't believe in hypothetical speculation. You'd know what you'd do only if you were ever placed in such a situation. Right now it's cheap talk.

When all the odds are stacked against me, when everything seems lost, I would suddenly realise I'm a bear with a rocket engine and blast the fuck out of there.

Because fuck that shit.

All the people there are soldiers with assault rifles. The average weapon the participants get is a knife or a handgun or sometime you just dont get a weapon.

Hello there. My name is Kazuo Kiriyama. A pleasure to meet you.
I guess you're my target then. I just hope that you don't get the uzi
Yep, I'm that much of an ass. :p

OT - Meh, You gotta do what you gotta do. Someone has to win this thing, it might as well be me.

Simply find someone to team up with, kill everyone, then kill my friend. And that is honestly what I would do, play a hero, then get selfish.

I have too much to live for and won't let myself be killed by anyone...

I'm pretty sure it's because of the 6 or so soldiers aiming at them for the whole thing
Then I'm pretty sure you haven't been paying attention to the actual manga.

Chapter 4, page 1: three guards in the classroom with the main guy. Chapter 5, page 11: long corridor, no guards. Same chapter, page 16: outside the school, no guards.

Basically, before you're out of the building you can check for your weapon and if it's a gun or grenades, go back and surprise em.

Still don't like your chances. I recon someone would have tried that before and they arn't shy about killing you before they get outside. Yoshi was proof of that. It would probably just turn that preverted bastard on anyway

I'd probably try to blow the school up like Shinji Minimura (or whoever it was) or try to break the game in some way.

Not sure, maybe have a gun and shoot around some at the same time

Got to love how this thread and the "You're final battle" thread are right next to each other.

OP: I'd likely go for dislocating joints on those who attacked me, but I'm not sure I could kill them. Certainly wouldn't go full pacifist, though. Pretty sure I'd get killed off, then.

I thought about this a great deal when I first read the manga.

If this was my senior high school class...

I find my girlfriend(at the time) first off. I shoot her in the head.

I'm playing to win, as such I need to be okay to kill. If I can kill my girlfriend, I can kill anyone. In between that and meeting up with my friends, I go out of my to destroy any redeemable part of myself. If I happen to come across a female class mate or two, I take advantage. I'll torture them. Rape them. Whatever. The more of a monster I become the more I increase my chances of survival.

Next step would be to find my small circle of friends (the 4 of us) and form an alliance, make a plan to escape, ectera. We're all really close and I'm fairly certain I wouldn't have to worry about them turning on me and that I think they'd be gullible enough to believe I wouldn't turn on them either. Of course, I would though. As soon as we started nearing the end, I'd start picking them off one by one. Making it look like an accident and what not.

Ideally this game ends with it coming down to me and my best friend. I sneak up on him when he's unarmed, with my weapon aimed at his head. I come clean, like a fucking bond villian, revealing I was the one that murdered our friends. That I planned all this for it to come down between the two of us. I say to him that the only way I'm satisfied losing is if he's the winner. I say I'm throwing the gun over to the left, we're going to scramble for it. Either I will kill him or he will kill me. I ignore his protests. I chuck the gun.

When he runs for it, thats when I pull out the other gun and shoot him in the back. He falls down, probably calls me an asshole. I apologize for lying, but to my credit I gave him a better chance then anyone else I killed.

I go on to live every single day, isolated and alone, in constant self loathing, suffering from post trumatic. But I force myself to live every single day until I draw my last breath at the age 84.

S'fucking dark right? But fuck it, I want to live. Being a good person in Battle Royale only means death.

Mind you, Shuuya and Noriko would of been dead without Shogo. Shogo wasn't a good human being either. Fucker killed his own girlfriend, knowingly got himself re-entered into the game. He could of warned everybody, saved everyones life.

So one thread on the front page said 'your' when it should have been 'you're' and another said 'you're' when it should have been 'your'...

Assuming I'm with my current school and classes?

I'd kill them all. I don't like any of them, so I wouldn't mind at all these private school kids dying.
