Reinforcement of Traditional Japanese Norms in Takami’s Battle Royale

In 1999, Koushun Takami caused one of Japan's biggest controversies over literature and movies at the release of his novel "Battle Royale". And it was made a movie a year later. Both novels and films explain in detail the lives of a group of imaginary young students who are forced to kill each other until there is only one person in the project planned by the government. Arai 367) depicts violence.

Battle Royale is a movie based on Koushun Takami's 1999 novel of the same name. Battle Royale is dystopian Japan, and after 800,000 children left school, the Japanese government passed a program called Radiocommunication Bureau Act. Under the Radio Communication Law, school classes were randomly chosen to participate in a three day event at a remote location with the aim of becoming the last person to kill classmates. If there is no clear winner in three days, before the event begins, the electric color attached around the stud's neck explodes and kills all remaining survivors. In the movie, Shiraishi Junior High School 3 - B class was chosen to participate in the annual catastrophe every year. Their former class teacher, Mr. Kitano (resignation at his school where his student's sting was stabbed with his feet) was the project's head coach.

The Japanese action movie "Battle Royale" is based on Lord of the Flies of William Golding. In the movie, the Japanese student class was chosen as a major escape plan. The purpose of this "game" is to let the children take you to the desert island and give it three days to kill each other until only one person survives. Allowing children to use any weapons they think are appropriate is very scary and distorted. As I think of World War II, children are withdrawing from the UK in the book "Flying King". When flying over the island, the plane was shot down and the boys took care of themselves from the beginning and tried to start searching for food, building a hut. After a while, the kids began to notice that they might not be rescued from the island, they may die before someone knows they are gone.
