Batoru rowaiaru II: Chinkonka (Battle Royale 2: Revenge) (2003) Movie Script
Three years had passed since Noriko and I escaped that island.
As more people fell
victim to the BR Act,
no one could dissuade us from
the struggle we had embarked on.
The world entered an Age of Terrorism.
Nanahara Shuya, leader of
the anti-BR group, Wild Seven,
became an international
terrorist suspect.
In the name of "justice," the adults
introduced a new game.
The Millennium Anti-Terrorism Act
AKA: BRII
The die is cast.
We refuse
to forgive any of those adults
who made us murder each other.
Let us rise up...
and fight together.
We now...
declare war against every last adult.
BATTLE ROYALE II
Requiem
Three years ago,
my father, a teacher,
was shot and killed by his students.
The central figure in
my father's last painting
was a young girl.
After I realized it wasn't me,
I never could face school again.
Now I've decided to join the Game,
to confront
my feelings about my father.
Wanted: for Murder and Accessory
Nanahara Shuya, Nakagawa Noriko
BRII: Bright, cheerful, fun.
Thank you for registering.
And so I enrolled at
Shikanotoride Middle School,
a ragtag collection of losers and
delinquents from across the country.
We'd all been written off by adults.
Buncha jocks.
None of us had any future.
For me, the only thing that felt real
was my plan.
Shit!
Friends - Shintaro
You, too, Taku.
Not me.
Why not?
Sign it, you graduated.
Nothing's finished yet.
Hey, hey!
Shintaro!
- Hey! My neck!
- Where are we?
What the hell?
To you, the 10 million fans
of Battle Royale!
Look! the bus has just arrived
under extremely tight security.
This time, Class B in 9th grade
at Shikanotoride Middle School
has been chosen.
Look! You can see the students!
Go in closer!
Go in closer!
Get a good look, folks.
This is a specially selected
bunch of losers!
They're the first students to play
under the new, revised BR rules!
As the whole world watches,
what battles can we expect this time?
Thanks to our sponsors, they're getting
their combat uniforms and watches.
Imagine the stirring sight
of 42 youthful,
passionate deaths!
Be seated!
Teacher!
Teacher!
What the hell?
All yours, sir.
Merry Christmas!
I'm Takeuchi Riki,
in charge of your class.
By the way,
you guys do understand
what's happening...
We're clueless.
You've gotta explain.
This necklace hurts, teacher.
Japan,
China,
North Korea...
What's that shit?
- Load of crap.
- Let's split.
Time to go. Move!
Cuba,
Congo,
Peru,
Laos,
Vietnam,
Cambodia,
Grenada,
Libya,
El Salvador,
Nicaragua,
Panama,
Iraq, Somalia,
Bosnia, Sudan,
Yugoslavia,
and...
Afghanistan.
What do they all have in common?
In the past 60 years, America
has bombed every one of them.
Some eight million dead
among 22 nations.
Equality? That's a lie.
There's no such thing as equality!
It's been one year now,
since that disastrous act
of terrorism last Christmas.
The terrorists who destroyed
so many lives in an instant
have barricaded themselves
on an island.
As he claimed responsibility for
the terrorist act,
their leader, Nanahara Shuya said,
"We declare war against all adults!"
Go right ahead.
By the way, in this country,
you're not an adult until you're 20.
Anyone else is a child!
Have you ever considered
just how much money it takes
to raise a child to adulthood?
Huh?
What the... the hell?
Save your weapons for later.
Somewhere between
That's what your lives
are worth right now.
This impoverished country
can no longer afford to support
expensive, worthless kids like you!
So the adults discussed it
with the bigwigs,
and decided to reject
his declaration of war.
If you want a war that badly,
you kids fight it out!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
BR II!
Today, you guys go to war.
Not so fast!
BR ll is a whole new war game,
based on the BR Act, with simple rules.
Track down and kill the evil leader,
Nanahara Shuya, and you win.
You've got 72 hours.
Got that?
No way!
See that white line on the floor?
There are only two sides in life,
the winners and the losers.
Anyone who crosses that line
has the guts to be a winner.
Players to the right
and losers to the left.
The losers are bad. This is the line
that divides good from evil.
It's white or black.
There's nothing in between!
I'll call your names in order.
Boy #1, Aoi Takuma.
Girl #1, Asakura Nao.
Are you two for the winning
or the losing team?
We don't need losers, so they die.
Here goes.

Here goes. Three, two, one...
We hardly have a choice!

I refuse to participate!
Shintaro...
Loser!
Sorry, I'm going ahead.
Go right ahead.
What the hell are you guys doing?
Don't you see this is crazy?
Why the hell should we have to fight?
You sure, Shintaro? Here goes!
Three, two,
one
Okay, then.
Don't, Taku!
Are you nuts?
Hurry, come on over!
Hurry UP!
I absolutely refuse!
Think it over carefully, Shintaro.
You've spent your whole life losing.
This is your last chance.
I haven't lost yet!
Here goes!
Three...

Shintaro!
Why? Why, Shintaro?
Friends - Shintaro
Are you crazy?
We're friends, right?
Cut the crap, man. Cut the crap.
Cut the crap, Shintaro!
Boy #15 Shintaro Dead - 41 To Go
Me?
Kazumi!
Oops, sorry, I forgot.
You play this game in pairs.
Kazumi, you're #15,
just like Shintaro, right?
Each of your necklaces is
linked to your seating partner.
One of you goes,
the other automatically...
Boom!
Blows up.
What's wrong with you guys?
For real?
For real.
- Are you really dead?
- Cut it out!
Okay, listen up, guys.
You pairs stay within 50 meters
of each other of you'll blow!
So be careful, now.
Were friends.
Sorry about before!
Kazumi!
The necklace,
it won't shut up!
Mommy!
Girl #15 Kazumi Dead - 40 To Go
Next! Boy #16...
No! Shintaro, no!
That's the spirit.
You 40 survivors, all in the game!
Go!
Run!
Move it!
The Game Begins Day One
Mission 1: The Landing Maneuver
Attention, everyone.
Attention, everyone!
The time is 06:00.
Launching the maneuver.
Check the map on your navigators.
Our enemy is barricaded
in a hideout on the hill.
There are three attack points.
The island's divided into several zones.
Every hour there'll be
a new danger zone.
You should leave the new zone
before it gets hot
or you'll blow automatically.
We're releasing the boats
from auto control.
Prepare to land immediately!
Cut it out!
It's me! Help!
No!
Please, help!
I can%see!
I can't take this! Help!
Nao!
Asuka! Asuka!
I don't want to die!
Asuka!
I dropped
my gun!
Jo! Nanami!
Don't shoot!
This is insane!
I'm going home!
Don't be stupid!
Tetsu!
Kurosawa!
Murder Nanahara Shuya...
We're dropping ammo.
Use it wisely.
Don't waste it.
Here we 90, GUYS!
Go where?
Behind. Get behind them!
Hurry!
Mission 2: Securing Ammo
Ammo! Let's go!
Hurry!
Bingo

Go For It!
How do you shot this?
Why me?
Nao!
It hurts!
Shugo!Shugo!
Shit, I'm hit!
First aid!
You fuck up!
You okay, Shugo?
I can't feel a thing.
The blood, I can't stop it!
Something's coming out.
What is it?
What did I ever do?
Oh, no! Miki!
That idiot.
You're in the danger zone!
Unless you get back here,
Shugo's necklace will blow, too!
I peed my pants. I peed.
I'm finished. I'm dead.
We're all dead.
Miki!
Hurry UP!
Hurry UP!
Run!
You'll make it!
Hurry! Run!
Hey, Miki!
Where are you going?
Miki!
Miki!
Miki!
Shugo!
Forget about me. Go!
- Are you crazy?
- Don't come!
Can you hear me, Taku?
We were always a team.
But there's no one
to hold you back now.
Think things over.
Try not to lose it.
Shugo.
We're friends.
Look after Nao!
Shugo!
Shugo!
Boy #2 Shugo, Girl #2 Miki Dead
I'll kill 'em.

I'm sort of disappointed in you.
These deaths lack individuality.
Put some guts into it
and battle for your lives!
Get some rest, Taku.
Hey. Hey!
Shutup!
Aren't you pissed?
They murdered all of them!
Of course I'm furious.
I can't believe I'm here,
fighting like this. I'm pathetic.
What's up, Kuze?
What is that?
Insulin. A joke, right?
It's my parents' DNA.
I can't live without it.
But I've only got three days' worth.
I never dreamed we'd wind up here.
Your first smoke?
We have...
so many things we've never learned,
and never tried.
What are we doing
here fighting a war'?
Hey. Hey!
Hosaka?
Over here. Here.
- Look! What's that?
- What happened?
Nobody move!
It's a trip mine.
Don't!
It's Jo and the rest of Squad 2. Jo!
Nanami! You okay?
Risa, what'll I do? I'm scared!
Don't worry, I won't leave you.
Stay away from me!
Are you crazy?
I'm sick of this!
Totally sick of this shit!
Don't move!
Don't move!
Shit! Hold on, Jo!
We're coming!
Kitano!
I won't let you.
And let friends die?
We get Nanahara first.
I won't let you die until we get him.
Risa! Honami!
Honami!
Hurry! Hurry!
Kurosawa, do you copy?
This is Jo.
Answer me!
Jo! You okay? Anyone hurt?
They got six of us.
Maezono, too.
Really?
Jo, we're approaching Position A.
Let's finish this thing
off before dark.
You're on.
You happy now? Fuck!
Mission 3: The Assault
Haruya!
Hurry!
Nanami!
Taku! You okay?
Sagisawa!
Takuma! What are you doing?
A necklace!
- Wait!
- A child!
What's going on?
Wait!
Drop your weapons!
Disarm! Disarm!
Don't move!
Disarm or I'll blow you away!
Hurry!
These kids are wounded.
Please, help us!
What do we do, Kurosawa?
What are you doing, Maho?
Let's surrender, Maho.
Over my dead body!
You're crazy!
Don't run!
Nanahara Shuya!
Where the hell are you?
You die and it's all over!
I'll blow you away!
Get out here!
Stop, Maho. Stop!
Kurosawa, let's surrender.
How can you guys forget
the horrible pain they caused?
I'll never forget it.
What are you doing, Kurosawa?
Shutup!
I lost my whole family
to your terrorism!
How the hell would you guys know
what it's like to lose your family?
Their bodies were blown to bits!
My dad, mom, sister...
all blown into bits and pieces!
Fuck your terrorism!
Fuck your war!
I'll never forgive you
for what you did!
Cut it out!
We're all the same!
We're just like you!
Just put down your weapons!
Shut the fuck up!
Toki!
S'0p!
Kurosawa!
Kitano!
Nanahara Shuya!
Maki, activate the EMB.
But Shuya, that's for our escape.
Just do it.
Got it.
We're activating the EMB!
Girl #10 Yuko Maisukawa Dead
I'm sorry.
Here we 90, GUYS!
Ready or not!
What the hell?
All wiped out?
Impossible to confirm.
No necklace signals at all!
Hackers?
Audio monitor's dead.
- No sign of explosions.
- What the hell?
A powerful electromagnetic field
in Zone G-6.
Electromagnetic field?
We're confirming it now.
What's an electromagnetic field?
Day Two
Nanahara Shuya?
What are you going to do with us?
Wanna finish off the game?
Fine with me!
That's enough!
You, come here.
Sit!
Don't move. It'll blow.
Answer me.
What do you want with us?
What did you come here for,
dressed up for combat?
You call that fighting?
Get to your fucking point.
Ever seen this weapon?
The AK-47.
Automatic Kalashnikov.
The international symbol
of guerilla resistance.
When we survived the game
three years ago,
the other survivor and I
escaped our country
for a place that's been
at war for 20 years.
Overflowing with four million refugees,
runway inflation,
whole areas reduced to rubble by bombs.
The conditions its people endure
defy imagination.
But even under those
hellish conditions,
their smiles were always those
of a proud people.
The open smiles of the children.
So what?
What the hell's that got to do with us?
What are you fighting for now?
Listen.
Kill me and the game's over.
But would your struggle end?
Can you forget all this,
and resume your old lives?
Then what are you fighting for?
They all died because of you!
We'll keep on fighting,
even if we have to fight
every last adult in the world.
Until the day that we can smile
the open smiles
of the children we once saw.
Shuya, Special Forces,
approaching our rear.
Here we go.
Back to our hideout.
All of us here either survived a game
or lost family.
We're not your enemies.
We're going.
You, too!
- Wait, Jin!
- Hey!
Taku!
You kids stay back. Hide!
I didn't have a clue
what the hell your point was.
How does it feel?
To murder others?
To survive all alone?
How does it feel?
You aim a gun, you shoot it.
This is what it takes to survive.
Yuuma?
Yuuma? Yuuma!
Down!
HQ! This is Mamiya! The students
have gone over to the terrorists!
We're being slaughtered!
Send reinforcements!
Sir!
Sir?
Shit!
You're just a bunch of brats!
You got me. Shit.
I have
a family, too.
The rain kept falling.
Day Three
Nozomi.
Hang on, Nozomi.
Only the moans of the dying
echoed heavily in our minds.
Nozomi!
Sagisawa!
Sagisawa!
I'm sorry, Sagisawa.
I... I...
Survive.
All of you, survive.
Don't forget about me.
Don't forget.
Nozomi!
Sagisawa!
Girl #6 Sagisawa Nozomi Dead
We lost another friend.
Now, what are we supposed to do?
Answer me!
There is no answer.
You've got to find it for yourself.
Taku!
We never had anywhere we could go.
I knew that all along.
Or any place to go home to!
This is war, right?
You're all fighting for your lives!
But die and you're just one more candle!
Even those poor little kids.
You're all the same.
You're no better than the adults!
How I wish this war would end.
I keep on asking myself...
what can I say to all those
who have died?
I don't know.
But inevitably,
we all grow up to be adults.
The best we survivors can do
is to keep remembering
the ones who died.
Always and forever,
even after we grow up.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
What are you doing?
I told you to knock.
You stink.
Don't come in here.
Listen, today's your birthday, right?
Thought you and Mom
and I could go out.
You're the worst.
What?
My birthday was yesterday.
It's today, isn't it?
It was yesterday.
Just get out.
Listen, Shiori.
Still got more to say?
What?
I guess I should...
do this, right?
What an idiot.
The thing people fear most,
isn't death, it's being forgotten.
We're all here, now.
We all wanted someone to know.
You'll be fine, just fine.
It's not because you're sick
that you keep losing your temper.
If you make friends at this school.
you'll get better.
Because all the kids here
are just like you.
I promise I'll come and get you.
Please, let's go.
One day, they'll all disappear.
Family, friends.
But I'll always be by your side.
I can't do anything for you,
but I'll be there.
I promise.
Nobu.
Kawada. All you guys.
I'm not wrong, am I?
I'm fighting along...
with the best of you, right?
You Okay?
- Mimura!
- Run!
Shit!
Blowing a couple of guys away
won't change a thing in this country.
But I don't know any other way.
Survive this!
And don't look back!
And then, finally, the rain let up.
How much blood has been shed?
How many tears spilled?
All our friends who fought beside us
are dead,
killed in the last three years.
But even as justice can never
be vanquished from the world,
we terrorists will never vanish,
no matter how evil they make us.
Because we know...
that a handful of adults,
a handful of nations,
selfishly define the nature of
peace and freedom in this world.
But our world is so much more
complex than that.
This world has six billion people
living their own lives,
in six billion different ways.
There are six billion kinds of peace,
six billion kinds of justice,
six billion kinds of war and evil.
No one has achieved peace
without fighting for it.
Behind every peace, there's a river
of blood, sweat and tears.
It's going live to global
host computers.
But if we avert our eyes from
that history and abandon it,
then peace might as well be dog shit.
Dog shit, huh?
Japan, China,
North Korea,
Guatemala, Indonesia,
Cuba, Congo,
Peru, Laos,
Vietnam, Cambodia,
Grenada, Libya,
El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Panama, Iraq,
Somalia,
Bosnia, Sudan,
Yugoslavia,
Afghanistan.
To all you children of the world
who battle in solitude,
you may be lonely,
but it's time to stop being afraid.
To all the abandoned
children of the earth,
let's rise up together
and fight together.
We're throwing away the old rules,
taking off to a world far, far away!
Tonight, I send this message
to all the adults who stole
our freedom and pinned us down.
Merry Christmas.
Nanahara Shuya, Wild Seven.
Evacuate!
Are you okay?
Look after the baby, the children...
Who fired the missiles?
We're still investigating.
Sir, a call for you!
Who the hell's calling
at a time like this?
It's the Prime Minister.
- Put him through.
- Yes, sir.
Hey, teacher, what a mess, huh?
Who do you think fired those missiles?
We finally pissed that country off.
I just got a call from their President.
They're going to attack in 12 hours.
What the hell's going on
with your class?
What are you waiting for? So what
if a dozen kids die? It doesn't matter.
Fire a missile and blow up
the whole damned island!
You really mean that?
You surprise me.
I thought you were a full-fledged adult
who'd crossed the line a long time ago.
You do understand?
There are only two sides,
the winners or the losers.
Which side are you on?
Fight with that country
for justice and freedom...
Cut the crap, you murderer!
What?
Half a century ago, that country
compared ours to a 12-year-old.
How old does that make
that country now?
If any country pisses it off,
it just bombs them.
You call that adult behavior?
Listen, the whole world's
rallied behind that country.
And who made that choice?
So what the hell are you doing there?
I see. Too bad.
I had hopes for you.
Exercising my full power as Prime
Minister, I call upon the armed forces.
Prepare for battle immediately, before
that country launches its missiles.
I want every last terrorist
and Nanahara Shuya
dead.
Attention! Salute!
Taku!
Taku!
Taku?
Taku?
Takuma?
Kuze?
You Okay?
I can't really move.
But we've got to get back
or Nao will worry.
You're hurt.
Save your strength.
How ironic, isn't it'?
What?
I always wanted to be alone with you.
But now that my dream's coming true,
look at me.
I..-
I never used to care about dying...
but...
but...
but now...
Kuze?
Kuze!
Girl #5 Kuze Haruka Dead
Drink?
No thanks.
It's nearly dawn.
Our battle with the adults
is about to begin.
In the six months we've been here,
we've stumbled upon a mine shaft.
It might lead back to the mainland.
Take the children and escape.
What about you?
We'll stay here and draw the enemy in.
This is no place for you.
The real struggle lies ahead.
Truly living life
is 100 times harder than dying.
The Final Morning
This is Sakai at Position B.
We're deployed.
Yonai from Position C.
We're ready.
Shuya?
I'm going to stay and fight.
Jin, give me your gun.
This is the Kalashnikov
Mimura gave me.
You know how precious it is to me.
I'm leaving it with you.
Protect the others.
Shuya...
I know you'll lose your way.
But whatever you do, never give up.
Farewell.
Sister.
I..-
I'll never forget you.
What's wrong?
You go, too.
I'm staying here.
To see this through to the end.
Draw them in closer.
Not yet.
Closer. Not yet.
Not yet.
Fire!
Kazama!
Kazama!
Dig in!
Hold 'em off!
Taku, what's wrong?
I..-
I don't understand things
much and I don't want to.
But if I run away now,
I'm turning my back
on something important.
You want to go back, don't you?
I can't go back.
I promised Shuya.
I..-
What am I supposed to do?
Decide for yourself.
I'm going.
Kyoko!
I was always in love with you!
Go, then.
Yes!
I'm sorry I always make you worry.
I'll see you again, right?
Of course.
I'm going to find an answer.
Yo!
What are you idiots doing here?
We're in this together.
Hey! Hey!
Shibaki!
Shibaki!
No big deal.
I'm glad I made friends.
Go, now.
Shibaki!
- Now or never!
- Okay, here goes!
Go!
Taku.
Give my love to Kyoko.
Osamu!
We're going.
Ouch!
Boy #3 Kasai Osamu,
Boy #6 Shibaki Dead - 7 To Go
Sakai! It's me!
What the hell are you doing here?
Why'd you come back?
It's not over yet, is it?
Aren't you fighting to the end?
To honor the ones who've died!
Sakai! Hold on, Sakai!
Sakai!
Shuya!
We've only just begun to fight, right?
Don't stop.
Keep on fighting.
Sakai!
Shuya!
Go ahead!
Maki!
You guys, too.
See this thing through!
Hurry!
We're going!
Maki!
Haruya.
Hurry!
Yo!
So you're Nanahara Shuya?
I'm Takeuchi Riki.
"We declare war against all adults!"
Gotta hand it to you, you've got guts.
Every adult on earth wants you dead.
From now on, you'll have to live
with all the lives you've taken.
Including my daughter,
who died in your terrorist attack.
Neither of us have anywhere
to call home.
Boy #1, Aoi Takuma,
Girl #4, Kitano Shiori.
Question.
In life there's only the winning
or the losing side.
Is that really true?
Go.
You'll only find the answer
by living your lives.
I..-
always did want to play
rugby with you guys.
Just go.
Three...
two...
one
Go!
Hey, look.
There's a light.
Let's go)!
Hang on. Hang on!
Can I ask you something?
That girl in the painting,
Nakagawa Noriko.
What's she like?
Who are you?
Kitano Shiori.
You killed my father, Kitano.
Noriko always...
looks you straight in the eye
and smiles openly.
Listen.
If you hate someone, you have to
be prepared for the consequences.
I'm sorry.
I never...
once
called you...
my own father, "Dad."

It's Taku!
Taku!
Nao!
Hey, Taku! You're alive!
Shuya.
Jin.
Noriko?
Welcome home.
Once again
my best wasn't good enough.
Did you know?
Even in this place that's
been at war for decades,
spring is so beautiful.
The seasons will always return.
I promise.
See you, then.
Yeah.
We're all
in this together.
Whenever, wherever we are.
The path we've chosen is so perilous
and so long.
But now we know
all over the world,
we're in this together.
And we can go
as far as we want.
We do have a future...
as long as we can dream of it.

As more people fell
victim to the BR Act,
no one could dissuade us from
the struggle we had embarked on.
The world entered an Age of Terrorism.
Nanahara Shuya, leader of
the anti-BR group, Wild Seven,
became an international
terrorist suspect.
In the name of "justice," the adults
introduced a new game.
The Millennium Anti-Terrorism Act
AKA: BRII
The die is cast.
We refuse
to forgive any of those adults
who made us murder each other.
Let us rise up...
and fight together.
We now...
declare war against every last adult.
BATTLE ROYALE II
Requiem
Three years ago,
my father, a teacher,
was shot and killed by his students.
The central figure in
my father's last painting
was a young girl.
After I realized it wasn't me,
I never could face school again.
Now I've decided to join the Game,
to confront
my feelings about my father.
Wanted: for Murder and Accessory
Nanahara Shuya, Nakagawa Noriko
BRII: Bright, cheerful, fun.
Thank you for registering.
And so I enrolled at
Shikanotoride Middle School,
a ragtag collection of losers and
delinquents from across the country.
We'd all been written off by adults.
Buncha jocks.
None of us had any future.
For me, the only thing that felt real
was my plan.
Shit!
Friends - Shintaro
You, too, Taku.
Not me.
Why not?
Sign it, you graduated.
Nothing's finished yet.
Hey, hey!
Shintaro!
- Hey! My neck!
- Where are we?
What the hell?
To you, the 10 million fans
of Battle Royale!
Look! the bus has just arrived
under extremely tight security.
This time, Class B in 9th grade
at Shikanotoride Middle School
has been chosen.
Look! You can see the students!
Go in closer!
Go in closer!
Get a good look, folks.
This is a specially selected
bunch of losers!
They're the first students to play
under the new, revised BR rules!
As the whole world watches,
what battles can we expect this time?
Thanks to our sponsors, they're getting
their combat uniforms and watches.
Imagine the stirring sight
of 42 youthful,
passionate deaths!
Be seated!
Teacher!
Teacher!
What the hell?
All yours, sir.
Merry Christmas!
I'm Takeuchi Riki,
in charge of your class.
By the way,
you guys do understand
what's happening...
We're clueless.
You've gotta explain.
This necklace hurts, teacher.
Japan,
China,
North Korea...
What's that shit?
- Load of crap.
- Let's split.
Time to go. Move!
Cuba,
Congo,
Peru,
Laos,
Vietnam,
Cambodia,
Grenada,
Libya,
El Salvador,
Nicaragua,
Panama,
Iraq, Somalia,
Bosnia, Sudan,
Yugoslavia,
and...
Afghanistan.
What do they all have in common?
In the past 60 years, America
has bombed every one of them.
Some eight million dead
among 22 nations.
Equality? That's a lie.
There's no such thing as equality!
It's been one year now,
since that disastrous act
of terrorism last Christmas.
The terrorists who destroyed
so many lives in an instant
have barricaded themselves
on an island.
As he claimed responsibility for
the terrorist act,
their leader, Nanahara Shuya said,
"We declare war against all adults!"
Go right ahead.
By the way, in this country,
you're not an adult until you're 20.
Anyone else is a child!
Have you ever considered
just how much money it takes
to raise a child to adulthood?
Huh?
What the... the hell?
Save your weapons for later.
Somewhere between
That's what your lives
are worth right now.
This impoverished country
can no longer afford to support
expensive, worthless kids like you!
So the adults discussed it
with the bigwigs,
and decided to reject
his declaration of war.
If you want a war that badly,
you kids fight it out!
Sorry to have kept you waiting.
BR II!
Today, you guys go to war.
Not so fast!
BR ll is a whole new war game,
based on the BR Act, with simple rules.
Track down and kill the evil leader,
Nanahara Shuya, and you win.
You've got 72 hours.
Got that?
No way!
See that white line on the floor?
There are only two sides in life,
the winners and the losers.
Anyone who crosses that line
has the guts to be a winner.
Players to the right
and losers to the left.
The losers are bad. This is the line
that divides good from evil.
It's white or black.
There's nothing in between!
I'll call your names in order.
Boy #1, Aoi Takuma.
Girl #1, Asakura Nao.
Are you two for the winning
or the losing team?
We don't need losers, so they die.
Here goes.
Three... two...

What the hell?
Girl #4, Kitano Shiori.
You're on board?
Yes.
A Christmas gift for this brave girl!
Shiori!
Wait, Shiori!
Now,

One last time.
You on the winning or the losing team?
Here goes. Three, two, one...
We hardly have a choice!
- Taku!

Shutup!
But I'll never trust adults!
It'll never work out like you say!
Oh, yeah?

Nao!
Okay, next!

Let's see! Three,

You'll die!
Wait, Miki.

Girl #14, Ryoko something-or-other.
Boy #15, Makimura Shintaro.
Girl #15, Fukuda Kazumi.
I absolutely refuse.
Come again?
I refuse to participate!
Shintaro...
Loser!
Sorry, I'm going ahead.
Go right ahead.
What the hell are you guys doing?
Don't you see this is crazy?
Why the hell should we have to fight?
You sure, Shintaro? Here goes!
Three, two,
one
Okay, then.
Don't, Taku!
Are you nuts?
Hurry, come on over!
Hurry UP!
I absolutely refuse!
Think it over carefully, Shintaro.
You've spent your whole life losing.
This is your last chance.
I haven't lost yet!
Here goes!
Three...
two...
one!
Shintaro!
Why? Why, Shintaro?
Friends - Shintaro
Are you crazy?
We're friends, right?
Cut the crap, man. Cut the crap.
Cut the crap, Shintaro!
Boy #15 Shintaro Dead - 41 To Go
Me?
Kazumi!
Oops, sorry, I forgot.
You play this game in pairs.
Kazumi, you're #15,
just like Shintaro, right?
Each of your necklaces is
linked to your seating partner.
One of you goes,
the other automatically...
Boom!
Blows up.
What's wrong with you guys?
For real?
For real.
- Are you really dead?
- Cut it out!
Okay, listen up, guys.
You pairs stay within 50 meters
of each other of you'll blow!
So be careful, now.
Were friends.
Sorry about before!
Kazumi!
The necklace,
it won't shut up!
Mommy!
Girl #15 Kazumi Dead - 40 To Go
Next! Boy #16...
No! Shintaro, no!
That's the spirit.
You 40 survivors, all in the game!
Go!
Run!
Move it!
The Game Begins Day One
Mission 1: The Landing Maneuver
Attention, everyone.
Attention, everyone!
The time is 06:00.
Launching the maneuver.
Check the map on your navigators.
Our enemy is barricaded
in a hideout on the hill.
There are three attack points.
The island's divided into several zones.
Every hour there'll be
a new danger zone.
You should leave the new zone
before it gets hot
or you'll blow automatically.
We're releasing the boats
from auto control.
Prepare to land immediately!
Cut it out!
It's me! Help!
No!
Please, help!
I can%see!
I can't take this! Help!
Nao!
Asuka! Asuka!
I don't want to die!
Asuka!
I dropped
my gun!
Jo! Nanami!
Don't shoot!
This is insane!
I'm going home!
Don't be stupid!
Tetsu!
Kurosawa!
Murder Nanahara Shuya...
We're dropping ammo.
Use it wisely.
Don't waste it.
Here we 90, GUYS!
Go where?
Behind. Get behind them!
Hurry!
Mission 2: Securing Ammo
Ammo! Let's go!
Hurry!
Bingo
Arms Manual
Go For It!
How do you shot this?
Why me?
Nao!
It hurts!
Shugo!Shugo!
Shit, I'm hit!
First aid!
You fuck up!
You okay, Shugo?
I can't feel a thing.
The blood, I can't stop it!
Something's coming out.
What is it?
What did I ever do?
Oh, no! Miki!
That idiot.
You're in the danger zone!
Unless you get back here,
Shugo's necklace will blow, too!
I peed my pants. I peed.
I'm finished. I'm dead.
We're all dead.
Miki!
Hurry UP!
Hurry UP!
Run!
You'll make it!
Hurry! Run!
Hey, Miki!
Where are you going?
Miki!
Miki!
Miki!
Shugo!
Forget about me. Go!
- Are you crazy?
- Don't come!
Can you hear me, Taku?
We were always a team.
But there's no one
to hold you back now.
Think things over.
Try not to lose it.
Shugo.
We're friends.
Look after Nao!
Shugo!
Shugo!
Boy #2 Shugo, Girl #2 Miki Dead
I'll kill 'em.
Taku!
It's noon!

I'm sort of disappointed in you.
These deaths lack individuality.
Put some guts into it
and battle for your lives!
Get some rest, Taku.
Hey. Hey!
Shutup!
Aren't you pissed?
They murdered all of them!
Of course I'm furious.
I can't believe I'm here,
fighting like this. I'm pathetic.
What's up, Kuze?
What is that?
Insulin. A joke, right?
It's my parents' DNA.
I can't live without it.
But I've only got three days' worth.
I never dreamed we'd wind up here.
Your first smoke?
We have...
so many things we've never learned,
and never tried.
What are we doing
here fighting a war'?
Hey. Hey!
Hosaka?
Over here. Here.
- Look! What's that?
- What happened?
Nobody move!
It's a trip mine.
Don't!
It's Jo and the rest of Squad 2. Jo!
Nanami! You okay?
Risa, what'll I do? I'm scared!
Don't worry, I won't leave you.
Stay away from me!
Are you crazy?
I'm sick of this!
Totally sick of this shit!
Don't move!
Don't move!
Shit! Hold on, Jo!
We're coming!
Kitano!
I won't let you.
And let friends die?
We get Nanahara first.
I won't let you die until we get him.
Risa! Honami!
Honami!
Hurry! Hurry!
Kurosawa, do you copy?
This is Jo.
Answer me!
Jo! You okay? Anyone hurt?
They got six of us.
Maezono, too.
Really?
Jo, we're approaching Position A.
Let's finish this thing
off before dark.
You're on.
You happy now? Fuck!
Mission 3: The Assault
Haruya!
Hurry!
Nanami!
Taku! You okay?
Sagisawa!
Takuma! What are you doing?
A necklace!
- Wait!
- A child!
What's going on?
Wait!
Drop your weapons!
Disarm! Disarm!
Don't move!
Disarm or I'll blow you away!
Hurry!
These kids are wounded.
Please, help us!
What do we do, Kurosawa?
What are you doing, Maho?
Let's surrender, Maho.
Over my dead body!
You're crazy!
Don't run!
Nanahara Shuya!
Where the hell are you?
You die and it's all over!
I'll blow you away!
Get out here!
Stop, Maho. Stop!
Kurosawa, let's surrender.
How can you guys forget
the horrible pain they caused?
I'll never forget it.
What are you doing, Kurosawa?
Shutup!
I lost my whole family
to your terrorism!
How the hell would you guys know
what it's like to lose your family?
Their bodies were blown to bits!
My dad, mom, sister...
all blown into bits and pieces!
Fuck your terrorism!
Fuck your war!
I'll never forgive you
for what you did!
Cut it out!
We're all the same!
We're just like you!
Just put down your weapons!
Shut the fuck up!
Toki!
S'0p!
Kurosawa!
Kitano!
Nanahara Shuya!
Maki, activate the EMB.
But Shuya, that's for our escape.
Just do it.
Got it.
We're activating the EMB!
Girl #10 Yuko Maisukawa Dead
I'm sorry.
Here we 90, GUYS!
Ready or not!
What the hell?
All wiped out?
Impossible to confirm.
No necklace signals at all!
Hackers?
Audio monitor's dead.
- No sign of explosions.
- What the hell?
A powerful electromagnetic field
in Zone G-6.
Electromagnetic field?
We're confirming it now.
What's an electromagnetic field?
Day Two
Nanahara Shuya?
What are you going to do with us?
Wanna finish off the game?
Fine with me!
That's enough!
You, come here.
Sit!
Don't move. It'll blow.
Answer me.
What do you want with us?
What did you come here for,
dressed up for combat?
You call that fighting?
Get to your fucking point.
Ever seen this weapon?
The AK-47.
Automatic Kalashnikov.
The international symbol
of guerilla resistance.
When we survived the game
three years ago,
the other survivor and I
escaped our country
for a place that's been
at war for 20 years.
Overflowing with four million refugees,
runway inflation,
whole areas reduced to rubble by bombs.
The conditions its people endure
defy imagination.
But even under those
hellish conditions,
their smiles were always those
of a proud people.
The open smiles of the children.
So what?
What the hell's that got to do with us?
What are you fighting for now?
Listen.
Kill me and the game's over.
But would your struggle end?
Can you forget all this,
and resume your old lives?
Then what are you fighting for?
They all died because of you!
We'll keep on fighting,
even if we have to fight
every last adult in the world.
Until the day that we can smile
the open smiles
of the children we once saw.
Shuya, Special Forces,
approaching our rear.
Here we go.
Back to our hideout.
All of us here either survived a game
or lost family.
We're not your enemies.
We're going.
You, too!
- Wait, Jin!
- Hey!
Taku!
You kids stay back. Hide!
I didn't have a clue
what the hell your point was.
How does it feel?
To murder others?
To survive all alone?
How does it feel?
You aim a gun, you shoot it.
This is what it takes to survive.
Yuuma?
Yuuma? Yuuma!
Down!
HQ! This is Mamiya! The students
have gone over to the terrorists!
We're being slaughtered!
Send reinforcements!
Sir!
Sir?
Shit!
You're just a bunch of brats!
You got me. Shit.
I have
a family, too.
The rain kept falling.
Day Three
Nozomi.
Hang on, Nozomi.
Only the moans of the dying
echoed heavily in our minds.
Nozomi!
Sagisawa!
Sagisawa!
I'm sorry, Sagisawa.
I... I...
Survive.
All of you, survive.
Don't forget about me.
Don't forget.
Nozomi!
Sagisawa!
Girl #6 Sagisawa Nozomi Dead
We lost another friend.
Now, what are we supposed to do?
Answer me!
There is no answer.
You've got to find it for yourself.
Taku!
We never had anywhere we could go.
I knew that all along.
Or any place to go home to!
This is war, right?
You're all fighting for your lives!
But die and you're just one more candle!
Even those poor little kids.
You're all the same.
You're no better than the adults!
How I wish this war would end.
I keep on asking myself...
what can I say to all those
who have died?
I don't know.
But inevitably,
we all grow up to be adults.
The best we survivors can do
is to keep remembering
the ones who died.
Always and forever,
even after we grow up.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
What are you doing?
I told you to knock.
You stink.
Don't come in here.
Listen, today's your birthday, right?
Thought you and Mom
and I could go out.
You're the worst.
What?
My birthday was yesterday.
It's today, isn't it?
It was yesterday.
Just get out.
Listen, Shiori.
Still got more to say?
What?
I guess I should...
do this, right?
What an idiot.
The thing people fear most,
isn't death, it's being forgotten.
We're all here, now.
We all wanted someone to know.
You'll be fine, just fine.
It's not because you're sick
that you keep losing your temper.
If you make friends at this school.
you'll get better.
Because all the kids here
are just like you.
I promise I'll come and get you.
Please, let's go.
One day, they'll all disappear.
Family, friends.
But I'll always be by your side.
I can't do anything for you,
but I'll be there.
I promise.
Nobu.
Kawada. All you guys.
I'm not wrong, am I?
I'm fighting along...
with the best of you, right?
You Okay?
- Mimura!
- Run!
Shit!
Blowing a couple of guys away
won't change a thing in this country.
But I don't know any other way.
Survive this!
And don't look back!
And then, finally, the rain let up.
How much blood has been shed?
How many tears spilled?
All our friends who fought beside us
are dead,
killed in the last three years.
But even as justice can never
be vanquished from the world,
we terrorists will never vanish,
no matter how evil they make us.
Because we know...
that a handful of adults,
a handful of nations,
selfishly define the nature of
peace and freedom in this world.
But our world is so much more
complex than that.
This world has six billion people
living their own lives,
in six billion different ways.
There are six billion kinds of peace,
six billion kinds of justice,
six billion kinds of war and evil.
No one has achieved peace
without fighting for it.
Behind every peace, there's a river
of blood, sweat and tears.
It's going live to global
host computers.
But if we avert our eyes from
that history and abandon it,
then peace might as well be dog shit.
Dog shit, huh?
Japan, China,
North Korea,
Guatemala, Indonesia,
Cuba, Congo,
Peru, Laos,
Vietnam, Cambodia,
Grenada, Libya,
El Salvador, Nicaragua,
Panama, Iraq,
Somalia,
Bosnia, Sudan,
Yugoslavia,
Afghanistan.
To all you children of the world
who battle in solitude,
you may be lonely,
but it's time to stop being afraid.
To all the abandoned
children of the earth,
let's rise up together
and fight together.
We're throwing away the old rules,
taking off to a world far, far away!
Tonight, I send this message
to all the adults who stole
our freedom and pinned us down.
Merry Christmas.
Nanahara Shuya, Wild Seven.
Evacuate!
Are you okay?
Look after the baby, the children...
Who fired the missiles?
We're still investigating.
Sir, a call for you!
Who the hell's calling
at a time like this?
It's the Prime Minister.
- Put him through.
- Yes, sir.
Hey, teacher, what a mess, huh?
Who do you think fired those missiles?
We finally pissed that country off.
I just got a call from their President.
They're going to attack in 12 hours.
What the hell's going on
with your class?
What are you waiting for? So what
if a dozen kids die? It doesn't matter.
Fire a missile and blow up
the whole damned island!
You really mean that?
You surprise me.
I thought you were a full-fledged adult
who'd crossed the line a long time ago.
You do understand?
There are only two sides,
the winners or the losers.
Which side are you on?
Fight with that country
for justice and freedom...
Cut the crap, you murderer!
What?
Half a century ago, that country
compared ours to a 12-year-old.
How old does that make
that country now?
If any country pisses it off,
it just bombs them.
You call that adult behavior?
Listen, the whole world's
rallied behind that country.
And who made that choice?
So what the hell are you doing there?
I see. Too bad.
I had hopes for you.
Exercising my full power as Prime
Minister, I call upon the armed forces.
Prepare for battle immediately, before
that country launches its missiles.
I want every last terrorist
and Nanahara Shuya
dead.
Attention! Salute!
Taku!
Taku!
Taku?
Taku?
Takuma?
Kuze?
You Okay?
I can't really move.
But we've got to get back
or Nao will worry.
You're hurt.
Save your strength.
How ironic, isn't it'?
What?
I always wanted to be alone with you.
But now that my dream's coming true,
look at me.
I..-
I never used to care about dying...
but...
but...
but now...
Kuze?
Kuze!
Girl #5 Kuze Haruka Dead
Drink?
No thanks.
It's nearly dawn.
Our battle with the adults
is about to begin.
In the six months we've been here,
we've stumbled upon a mine shaft.
It might lead back to the mainland.
Take the children and escape.
What about you?
We'll stay here and draw the enemy in.
This is no place for you.
The real struggle lies ahead.
Truly living life
is 100 times harder than dying.
The Final Morning
This is Sakai at Position B.
We're deployed.
Yonai from Position C.
We're ready.
Shuya?
I'm going to stay and fight.
Jin, give me your gun.
This is the Kalashnikov
Mimura gave me.
You know how precious it is to me.
I'm leaving it with you.
Protect the others.
Shuya...
I know you'll lose your way.
But whatever you do, never give up.
Farewell.
Sister.
I..-
I'll never forget you.
What's wrong?
You go, too.
I'm staying here.
To see this through to the end.
Draw them in closer.
Not yet.
Closer. Not yet.
Not yet.
Fire!
Kazama!
Kazama!
Dig in!
Hold 'em off!
Taku, what's wrong?
I..-
I don't understand things
much and I don't want to.
But if I run away now,
I'm turning my back
on something important.
You want to go back, don't you?
I can't go back.
I promised Shuya.
I..-
What am I supposed to do?
Decide for yourself.
I'm going.
Kyoko!
I was always in love with you!
Go, then.
Yes!
I'm sorry I always make you worry.
I'll see you again, right?
Of course.
I'm going to find an answer.
Yo!
What are you idiots doing here?
We're in this together.
Hey! Hey!
Shibaki!
Shibaki!
No big deal.
I'm glad I made friends.
Go, now.
Shibaki!
- Now or never!
- Okay, here goes!
Go!
Taku.
Give my love to Kyoko.
Osamu!
We're going.
Ouch!
Boy #3 Kasai Osamu,
Boy #6 Shibaki Dead - 7 To Go
Sakai! It's me!
What the hell are you doing here?
Why'd you come back?
It's not over yet, is it?
Aren't you fighting to the end?
To honor the ones who've died!
Sakai! Hold on, Sakai!
Sakai!
Shuya!
We've only just begun to fight, right?
Don't stop.
Keep on fighting.
Sakai!
Shuya!
Go ahead!

You guys, too.
See this thing through!
Hurry!
We're going!

Yo!
So you're Nanahara Shuya?
I'm Takeuchi Riki.
"We declare war against all adults!"
Gotta hand it to you, you've got guts.
Every adult on earth wants you dead.
From now on, you'll have to live
with all the lives you've taken.
Including my daughter,
who died in your terrorist attack.
Neither of us have anywhere
to call home.
Boy #1, Aoi Takuma,
Girl #4, Kitano Shiori.
Question.
In life there's only the winning
or the losing side.
Is that really true?
Go.
You'll only find the answer
by living your lives.
I..-
always did want to play
rugby with you guys.
Just go.
Three...
two...
one
Go!
Hey, look.
There's a light.
Let's go)!
Hang on. Hang on!
Can I ask you something?
That girl in the painting,
Nakagawa Noriko.
What's she like?
Who are you?
Kitano Shiori.
You killed my father, Kitano.
Noriko always...
looks you straight in the eye
and smiles openly.
Listen.
If you hate someone, you have to
be prepared for the consequences.
I'm sorry.
I never...
once
called you...
my own father, "Dad."
Girl #4 Kitano Shiori Dead - 6 To Go
I'm out of ammo!
Kitano!
Hey, Kitano!
The last of our weapons.

Whereabouts Unknown
Really?
It's Taku!
Taku!
Nao!
Hey, Taku! You're alive!
Shuya.
Jin.
Noriko?
Welcome home.
Once again
my best wasn't good enough.
Did you know?
Even in this place that's
been at war for decades,
spring is so beautiful.
The seasons will always return.
I promise.
See you, then.
Yeah.
We're all
in this together.
Whenever, wherever we are.
The path we've chosen is so perilous
and so long.
But now we know
all over the world,
we're in this together.
And we can go
as far as we want.
We do have a future...
as long as we can dream of it.
