How far can I take my "feels" level without killing it, a look on the fallen (so far) in Battle Royale


Since I'm saving the character post for the end of this book, I think I'll just post as much spoilers as I can so here's what I read so far; death, death, murder, and a little bit of romance (which later moves on to death, again.) Basically this book's about death, ok? So that's what I'll be blogging about. Here goes everything...

(॓_॔) SPOILERS, DUH!(॓_॔)

(By the way, this is the order of which they died.)

  1. Yoshitoki Kuninobu: He didn't even get to be in the game for his rebellious behavior. He was shot down by the Special Defense Forces. Being Shauya's childhood friend and all, it really takes a lot of pressure on Shauya not to punch Sakimochi in the face. It was nice to get to know you while you lasted, Yoshitoki. (1/42)
  2. Fumiyo Fujiyoshi: She was whispering to the female class representative Yukie Utsumi, in which, this got her killed. Knife to meet you, the knife said which pierced her forehead for a swift kill. Again, she was killed before the game but this time by Sakimochi. If the consequence was this for talking while the teacher was talking, I don't think I'll say a word during class. (2/42)
  3.  Mayumi Tendo: The games have already started while she was killed. For this one, she wasn't killed by any of her peers but instead, she stayed in the forbidden zone for too long (which was the school. If you stayed at the school for more than 20 minutes after the games started, you would die.) I don't recall there being a reason of why she statyed at the school for so long, though well. Oh well, there's still more deaths to cover...(3/42), but wait there's more....it was said that Yoshio shot Tendo as well, hmmm... strange.
  4. Yoshio Akamatsu: After being knocked out by Shuya, he finally wakes up. The first thing he sees is Mayumi's corpse , whoops. Now, he is said to have killed Tendo with the crossbow he recieved in his day pack. It's funny, you know... being shot down by the same weapon that you killed someone with because that's what happened to Yoshio. Kazushi Niida picked up Yoshio's crossbow when Yoshio was knocked out and shot him with it. Here's a tip, don't lay in the middle of the field with your day pack and weapon. Maybe you wouldn't of gotten killed...(4/42)
  5. Ryuhei Sasagawa, Hiroshi Kuronaga, and Izumi Kanai: I'm putting these characters in the same area because they were all murdered by the same person at the same time. Their killer was Kazuo Kiriyama, one of the most intimidating guys in this game. How can I explain this....oh yeah, he's got a group of kids much like a gang to help him to all of the dirty work with him. I never got to know the 3 dead in this part of the book, but they all count as a death still so on to the next one. (5/42,6/42, and 7/42.)
I'll stop for now....

  1. Nice job describing the detail of the person that passed and why. But I don't undestand why any of them were killing each for a game. Is it like the Hunger Games? Also nice imagery for each of the character's. I could see each one dying when they were being murdered..
