BATTLE ROYALE SPECIAL EDITION 2001
At the dawn of the millennium, the nation collapsed.
At 15% unemployment, 10 million were out of work.
800,000 students boycotted school and juvenile crime rates soared.
Adults had lost all confidence,
and now fearing the youth they eventually passed
the Millennium Educational Reform Act. AKA: the BR Act.
This year Zentsuji Middle School's Class E was chosen
from among 43,0009th grade classes.
This year's game was even more blistering than the last.
Look, there she is!
The winner is a girl!
Surviving a battle that raged for 2 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes,
the winner is a girl!
Look, she's smiling. Smiling!
That's clearly a smile!
Certificate 15: Under 15 are not allowed to watch.
SPECIAL EDITION
My mom left when I was in 4th grade,
and on my first day of 7th grade
Dad hung himself.
"Go, Shuya! You can do it, Shuya!"
Everything went totally crazy.
I didn't have a clue what to do and no one else helped me.
- Good morning. - What?
Sorry I'm late. What's going on?
"TAKING THE DAY OFF 'CAUSE WE WANT TO - CLASS B"
Soon after, this particular teacher left the school.
But no matter how crazy the world became,
we all managed to have fun.
Before we knew it, our compulsory education was coming to an end.
- Téacher - Sorry.
- Let's go. - No.
Come on, let's go.
Sorry, let us through.
Nanahara, I baked some cookies. I thought we could share them.
- Would you like some, Nobu? - Really? Thanks.
- Look over here. - Okay.
Say cheese.
Noriko's been waiting ages to give them to you.
- Megumi! - Shuya, you have some, too.
I'm fine. You eat them, Nob...
Nakagawa, you know what? I'm glad I came.
- Thanks. - Don't mention it, Nob...
- The picture is ready. - I'm hardly in it.
Hey, Nakagawa.
- Nobu. - Huh? What?
After you.
- Kitano! - Kitano?
Can't be.
- Okay, sit down. - Sit down!
It's been a while.
It's me, Kitano, your teacher from back in 7th grade.
I'm taking Class B over again. Let's all be friends.
Two transfer students will be joining us today.
That's Kawada over there.
And that's Kiriyama over there.
Try to get along-
THE BR ACT
Hey, don't mess about. What is this place?
Where the hell are we?
Who are these people?
Do you know about this law?
Not good. Not good at all.
This country is now good for nothing. Want to know why?
I said no whispering!
That hurt!
When someone's talking, shut up and listen.
Can I go to the bathroom?
Chigusa, can you wait a little?
I missed you guys.
Kuninobu.
You really hurt my ass.
I told you not to bother with school, didn't I?
That you were a lost cause.
But then you really did just stop going to school.
That's no good.
And now you come back just for the class trip.
Listen up.
Because of folks like Kuninobu here,
this country is now a total wreck.
So the bigwigs got together and passed this law:
Battle Royale.
So today's lesson is you kill each other off...
till there's only one of you left. Nothing is against the rules.
What's so funny?
Teacher
What are you talking about? This can't possibly...
Your teacher, Mr. Hayashida
was very opposed to the selection of Class B.
Calm down.
We have here a failure as an adult.
Be careful that you don't become an adult like him.
Time to watch the video. Don't fall asleep now.
The Correct Way to Fight in Battle Royale.
By the BR Law Promotion Committee.
Hello to everyone in Shiroiwa Junior High School, 9th Grade Class B.
Everyone, say hello.
You are the lucky class chosen for this year's Battle Royale.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
Now I'm going to explain the rules.
Listen carefully, then fight correctly and with energy.
You have all been brought to this uninhabited island.
It's about 10km in diameter, but we evacuated everyone, so it's deserted.
Fujiyoshi, I said no whispering!
All right, move, move.
Sorry, it's against the rules for me to kill, isn't it'?
Girl ♪18 Fujiyoshi - dead 41 to go
Noriko!
- Asshole! - Nobu!
Nobu!
Shit!
Right. Back to the video.
This island has been divided into all these little areas.
Your teacher will make announcements at 12:00 and 6:00 am and pm.
Four times a day.
These will tell you which areas
are going to be dangerous and from what time.
If you are in one of the areas, move.
You want to know why?
That's where these necklaces we have you wearing come into it.
They are completely water and shock proof.
And there's no way to get them off.
This sensor monitors your pulse,
telling us exactly where you are and what you're doing.
If you're still in a danger area when the time runs out
or are doing something naughty, we will send our own signal to you.
The necklace will sound an alarm and then... boom!
It will explode!
Trying to force it off will also make it explode.
Don't even try it, okay?
You assholes!
Shutup! We can't hear the video.
Cut it out, Nobu!
Cut it out! Quiet!
There's no helping you, is there?
- Better run, guys. - What is this?
Help me!
- Shuya! - Nobu!
Nob...
Hey, Shuya, do you have a crush on anyone right now?
Boy ♪7 Kuninobu - dead 40 to go.
What a shame.
I liked the kid, in my own way.
What's that look for, Nanahara?
Ah, something else I need to tell you.
This game has a time limit. Three days.
If a single survivor isn't determined in that time
all the necklaces will automatically explode.
No one will win.
So you may as well fight as hard as you can
and make sure that doesn't happen, okay?
Okay, any questions so far?
Yes.
Yes, Motobuchi.
If I survive, can I go home?
Sure, but only if everyone else is dead.
- Yes. - Yeah, Mimura.
How were we chosen?
By random selection.
- One more? - Sure.
Why are you doing this?
It's your own damn fault.
You don't respect adults, do you?
That's fine.
But don't forget.
Life is a game.
So fight for survival and find out if you're worth it.
Now you're going to leave the classroom one by one.
But before that, you'll be given a bag.
Inside is food and water.
A map, compass, flashlight and a weapon.
Check it out for yourself later.
This one is for the girls.
You can take your personal items with you, too.
Each bag contains a different weapon. Not everyone will get a gun or knife.
It's random, with some good and some not so good at all.
This will give everyone a fighting chance.
Wow! Someone got lucky with this one.
We've notified your parents. Just go for it.
Okay, you'll be leaving by class number.
When I call you name, I want to hear a nice big "here"!

It's just a scratch. I'll wash off the blood.
What's this? I can't fight with a pot lid.
This is mine.
Those bastards. God damn it.
Maybe we could escape with Mimura and Sugimura.
- I don't think so. - Why not?
You won't like me for saying this,
but I don't trust any of them.
Noriko, Noriko! Shorty, ugly, die!
NORIKO, SHORTY, UGLY, DIE!
- What about me? - What?
Are you scared of me, too?
You're the only one I trust, Shuya.
- Oh, I'm sorry. - Why?
I called you Shuya, just like Nob...
Nob...
Hey, Shuya?
Do you have a crush on anyone at the moment?
Why? Do you?
Maybe I kind of like someone.
Who?
Noriko Nakagawa.
- From our class? - Yeah.
Yeah, she's nice.
You agree?
She's really sweet.
She wrote to me saying,
"Come back to school.
Let's all go on the school trip together."
Even if she didn't really mean it,
it's nice to have someone waiting for you.
We were roommates in the foster home after Dad died.
When I was depressed after I quit baseball
he taught me the guitar.
I had to invite him.
No, he was happy he came back.
Really I'\aPPY-
But I couldn't help Nobu either.
He needed my help but I couldn't do a thing.
I can't give up. I'll take revenge for him.
I'll protect you right to the end, just like he would have done.
Thank you, Nanahara.
You never got to taste those cookies, did you?
Numai's gang grabbed Kiriyama.
They're not wasting any time.
What's this?
You got a good one.
Some transfer student you are. Are you in this together with Kitano?

I was never friendly with your group,
but you're okay.
- So I can come in? - Sure, come in.
Pictures of Mimura.
Oh, no.
Is this your weapon?
Not very useful, huh?
Not necessarily.
One zap to someone with a bad heart and they're pretty much a goner.
Have you used one before?
Of course not, sorry.
Here.
Mitsuko! Don't!
This is my weapon.
I thought it was so-so.
But actually, it's not so bad.
I found Yoshimi and Kuramoto dead next door,

Next, at 9:00, E-8.
Then at 11:00, F-2. Got that?
It's tough when friends die on you, but hang in there.
We'll talk again soon.
- Nakagawa. - Megumi.
This is going to be a danger zone.
We've got to head south, quick.
Oki?
I get you! I get you!
Oki.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Nanahara!
Did I kill him? Tell me the truth. You were watching.
- Did I? - It was an accident.
X=B over 2A.
No, B squared minus 4AC.
Everyone's serious, huh? Fine.
I'll survive and get into a good school.
Stop it!
Don't try and stop me.
What weapons have you got?
- A pot lid. - And binoculars.
Everybody! Stop fighting!
Please hear us out!
This is Kusaka with Yukiko on the cliffs of the north mountain.
Everybody come here. We'll figure this out together.
We don't want to fight. Right, Yukiko?
This is Yukiko. Please join us.
Let's think this through together.
That's the right tactic.
- Where are you going? - To go and get them.
You don't even have a weapon.
Not everyone wants to play nice out there.
If they're in danger then all the more reason to go.
No!
Stop shooting!
- Idiots. - Run!
- That's... - Nanahara.
That was his voice, right?
Nanahara! Over here!
Come here!
Yukiko's always had a crush on--
You idiot.
Kusaka.
Kusaka!
Yukiko!
Tell me it's not true. Answer me, Kusaka!
He'll come here next. Let's move.
Go wherever you like. You're a murderer yourself.
Nanahara.
They were my friends.
This is crazy.
How can you all kill each other so easily?
There's a way out of this game.
Commit suicide, both of you. Here, now.
If you can't do that then don't trust anyone and just run.

Oh, great, I finally found you.
Is this your weapon, Mitsuko?
- Yeah. - Kind of lame, huh?
Yoshimi's dead, isn't she?
- With Kuramoto. - So you saw.
Well, I saw Megumi's throat slit,
with a sickle or something.
Mitsuko, have you got Megumi's weapon?
Of course not.
But it looked like someone was there all night.
I found a tampon in the toilet.
I checked Megumi. She wasn't having hers.
But you started yesterday, right?
- That doesn't prove anything. - Cut the crap, murderer.
Fucking all the boys, but you still had to steal mine.
You made Yoshimi date all those old pervs for cash, too, didn't you?
You probably hung them yourself.
That's horrible.
You've always pissed me off. I'll kill you.
Come on, what is this?
Stop joking. Forgive me.
Stop faking it!
I've had it!
Why does everybody gang up on me?
What did I do?
Think about what you did.
Think you can get away with it?
Cry, damn you! Beg for forgiveness from Megumi and Yoshimi.
This was Megumi's.
But this is what I was after.
You bitch. Murderer.
Why not kill? Everyone has their issues.

I'm okay, just a little tired.
You're dripping with sweat. You've got a terrible fever.
Yukiko had a crush on you, right?
This is hardly the time.
Sorry, I'm just a bit jealous. That's all.
There's a clinic outside the village. Can you get up?
Hey, Nakagawa. Come on, now.
Nakagawa.
Pot Lid and Binoculars. What do you two want?
Nice. The drugs have expired but they're still working.
Can I ask?
- What? - Why are you helping us?
My dad's a doctor, believe it or not.
Ready, lift.
- What are you doing, Mimura? - Sugimura!
Great, it still works. How did you find us?
- This is my weapon. - A tracking device?
Great weapon.
Have you seen Chigusa or Kotohiki?
No, I haven't.
- Right, then I'm off. - Already?
Sugimura, there may be a way out.
Won't you help us?
Sorry, but I've got to find them.
If you find Nanahara, tell him where we are.
Okay, I'm off.
Always a loner.
He said Chigusa and Kotohiki, right?
Why them?
I thought he was into Chigusa.
Shit, so that's their trick.
What is it?
They're listening.
A mic in the necklace.
Now to business.
Find the following:
1. Fertilizer.
2. Pesticide.
3. Charcoal.
4. Sulphur.
5. Kerosene.
- Hey, what is this? - Just go.
Chigusa, how far are you planning to run?
Ahead of you, forever.
I'll watch your back forever.
Promise?
Hiroki.
Hey, Chigusa.
What are you doing?
Training at a time like this?
Hey, wait.
They all gossiped about us.
You made it all up.
But you liked it.
Come on, Chigusa, wait. Stay with me.
Don't touch me! You're disgusting.
Run and I'll shoot.
What was that? Pathetic.
I'm in love with you.
For real.
Wow, great. Wash your face and try again if you survive.
Wait. You're a virgin, right?
No way.
Did I just hear this idiot right?
Sugimura isn't man enough to actually sleep with a woman after all.
Keep Hiroki out of this.
We're going to die anyway.
Don't you want to do it once before you die?
I think you should be worried about your life
instead of that flaccid thing in your pants.
I'm taking this game very seriously.
I'm playing for real.
So am I.
Put that down right now and let me go.
Or I'll assume you want to kill me and I'll fight back with all I've got.
You've been warned.
Cut the crap!
I've already killed. I could just force myself on you.
Try it then!
Are you okay?
You've injured my face.
It's your fault. You made me mad.
Always blaming someone else. That's why I hate your guts.
Come at me.

Last night, I waited for you outside the school.
But you ran out of there at top speed, didn't you?

I didn't know.
Help me sit up.

9th Grade Class C, Kobe Junior High.
We were in this game three years ago.
So you're--
A survivor
of this fucking game.
I was desperate to protect Keiko.
I turned my gun on my best friend
so the two of us would survive.
But as the time limit approached,
something changed.
Keiko! Keiko!
Keiko!
Really trusting someone is a hard thing to do.
But I've never understood...
the meaning in the smile she left behind.
Thank you.
I'll have that drink.
But why play all over again?
They kept me back in school and then dragged me here
to shake things up during the game.
But when I woke up here, I vowed
that I wasn't going to die on this island.
Instead, I'm going to figure out what Keiko's last smile meant.
I don't...
What?
I don't know exactly how Keiko felt.
But she must have...
- Er... - My name?
Kawada.
I think she really loved you, Kawada.
Or she couldn't have smiled as she did in that photo.
You think?
I'm sure if I were Keiko,
I'd want to trust and thank you for giving me a reason to smile like that.
I think I'd have said thank you, too.
I do know a way off this island.
What? But how?
I can only tell you when the time comes.
Until then, take this as my word.
Use it to protect yourself and...
Noriko Nakagawa.
Shuya Nanahara.
The candles!
Get down!
It's that same noise. Who is that?
Probably the one guy who signed up willingly for this shit.
We had one of those, too.
Give me your map.
If we get separated, let's meet at the Takano Shrine.
Don't forget. Stay down.
Why? What did I ever do to you?
Yes! I made it.

Sulphur and charcoal.
I even found a truck to carry it all in.

What is this?

My uncle is an old-time fighter.
He taught me stuff they never teach you in school.
He's still off fighting in some corner of the world.
I hope you smile like this, too.
You're kidding. This is why--
Shinji.
This is the trigger from a bomb.
He was going to use it to blow up Parliament.
It's time we started our own struggle, but there's not much time.
Are you in?
Or would you rather we just kill each other?
Can we really all go home together?
Yeah. We'll destroy this stupid system.
Then we'll all escape together.

Here's your map. I marked it for you.
You're safe here. Everyone here is my friend.
There's Haruka, Satomi, Yuka, Chisato and Yuko.

About that thing with Oki.
Yuko saw it happen.
Yeah, we fell down a hill together.

He's survived one of these games before.
But you can't even walk yet.
- I'm fine. - Right now, just rest.
Haruka and Chisato are fixing lunch.
You did this for me?
Yeah.
It was my first time touching a man's body.
Do you like Noriko?
Why?
I know all about you.
Do you know what that means?
What?
Forget it. I have to lock you in, okay?
Some of them didn't want to let a guy inside.
Lunch in a minute.
Hey, guys! Nanahara's awake.
Really? Can he talk?
Yeah. He seems hungry, too.
Don't worry, Yuko. I locked the door.
No, I'm sorry. I'm not worried any more.
What happened with Oki was an accident.
Of course. Shuya would never kill anyone.
The spaghetti is almost done.
Haruka, bring Yuka in from watch.
We need to discuss something.
Roger that.
We're all...
going to die tomorrow, aren't we?
Don't start with that.
We can't just give up.
I think we'd better feed Nanahara first, don't you?
- Right. - I'll serve him.
Thanks, Yuko.
Hey!
There are still some painkillers. I'll get some for Nanahara.
- In the cupboard. - I'll get them.
Yukie!
I hear Nanahara's awake! That's so great, you lucky thing.
Don't pretend, I know you're happy.
Smell's great. Good job, Chisato.
Let me have a taste.
Super! Marry me, Chisato.
- Cut it out, Yuka. - Let's have some quiet.
What did you want to discuss, Yukie?
Nanahara says Kawada knows a way off the island.
- The transfer kid? - Can we trust him?
I hope so.
Once Nanahara can walk,
let's join Kawada and Noriko
What's wrong?
Yuka!
- She's dead. - Why?
Could it be food poisoning?
- That kills instantly? - I tasted it and I'm fine.
It must be poison.
Poison?
Who did it?
- Satomi, don't. - This is all just a mistake.
We're the only ones here.
Chisato, you cooked it, right?
- No! Haruka cooked, too! - Me? No way!
Nobody did it. Just cut it out. Put that gun down.
- You're acting the most suspicious. - Haruka.
You didn't sleep last night or the night before, did you?
You don't trust us, do you?
- I forgot my sleeping pills. - That's even more suspicious.
Come on. Satomi, put the gun down.
Shut up, damn it!
- Yukie, quit playing leader! - Chisato.
You're covering your own tracks.
How can you say that?
You've been scheming with Nanahara to escape together.
It was you!
Chisato!
Ouch! That hurts!
You assholes! I'm bleeding, damn it.
Different story now, isn't it?
- Murderer! - Shut the fuck up!
She tried to steal the gun.
That makes her guilty. Take that!
Not you, right?
You're not one of the killers, are you?
At least I thought I'd live until tomorrow.
Idiots.
We might have all survived.
We're all so stupid.
Stupid!
It's not my fault. It's not my fault.
What happened? Utsumi?
What happened? Hey, Utsumi!
I'm sorry, Nanahara.
I forgot how much I liked all of them.
Why?
Utsumi.
Why?
Do you know what that means?
How should I know?
I don't know what any of it means.

There's a call for you.
- Hello. - Hello, mister.
Oh, Shiori?
Where are you? Mom's feeling bad again.
I'm on a business trip. I can't get home till tomorrow.
Don't hurry back on my account.
I'm hanging UP-
And can you not breathe on the phone?
I can smell your stinking breath.
Are you okay?
I had a dream.
What dream?
I was alone with Kitano on an empty riverbank.
Must have been scary.
But Kitano...
just seemed lonely.
Before this, I always just thought of myself as normal.
I'd get married, grow old, just like my mom.
But by taking part in this game, I've come to realize
I just don't have a clue.
There are some things you're better off not knowing.
It's going to rain.
I hope Nanahara can find us here.
I told you to wait!
Another day wasted. The phone never rings.
Even my mobile is useless. See, it's out of range.
- May I take your order? - Just a minute.
As you wish.
All those résumés written for nothing. I'm just wiped out.
I'm sick of them hanging up on me, too.
- Miss, some water, please. - Of course. One minute.
Anyway, order whatever you want. You start the 7th grade tomorrow.
I'd say go for it, but I never taught you anything.
- Your order? - I said just a minute!
Shall we try somewhere else?
Go, Shuya! You can do it, Shuya!
Shuya.
Look after Nakagawa, okay? Promise you'll protect her.
- Where are you going? - To meet Nanahara.
Hey! We're near a danger zone.
Where are you? Nakagawa!
Mitsuko.
What's up?
I'm looking for Nanahara.
You got separated?
Nakagawa, where are you?
- Who's that? - Kawada.
Two princes protecting you. A real princess.
- Mitsuko. - Die, ugly.
Hey.
You don't look so bad.
Oh, you've got Nanahara with you.
Nanahara.
Shuya!
Don't catch cold.
You came to meet me?
I brought weapons.
Weapons? Why?
I'm weak
and useless.
But I'll stay by your side.
I'll protect you.
That's why
I brought weapons.
Shuya.
Kotohiki, is that you?
Kotohiki, answer me!
Quick, run away.
What?
Someone will come because of the gunshots.
Run.
Why?
Sugimura, why?
You're so cute.
What are you talking about? What is this?
I wanted to see you.
To save you, actually.
Don't tell me...
I've been in love with you, Kotohiki,
for a long, long time.
But you never even talked to me.
How could I have known? You never said a thing.
What am I supposed to do now?
Die.

What happened to Mommy?
Mommy's tummy hurts.
How about we play together, instead?
No!
Be strong, Mitsuko.
If you're not strong, you'll end up just like me.
Hello, there, Mitsuko.
This little girl's name is Mitsuko, too.
Isn't she cute?
She's cute and really fun.
See?
All her clothes are off.
Now it's our other Mitsuko's turn.
Let's take them all off.
No!
No one is going to save you.
That's just life.
Die!
I just don't want to be a loser any more.

Let's head west. We can still avoid the new danger zones.
I've got to see Mimura.
All right.
Got it! I got it!
- We're done, too. - Excellent.
- Two bombs, 100 Molotovs. - And three propane tanks.
It took time to rewrite, but my Third Man hacker program is ready to go.

- Danger zones have been cleared. - Do something!
- God damn it! - Sir.
What are you--?
- Sir! - Restart it.
Okay, here goes.
We've got 15 minutes before they recover to ram this into the school.
I just saw someone over there.
- What? - Maybe it's Nanahara.
- Nanahara? - I bet Sugimura told him about us.
Hey, Nanahara. Come on out. Hurry.
Shit, who is that?
The transfer student.
- I can't hit him. - Stay calm.
- You missed again. - Shut up!
It's no good. Get back inside.

Are you hurt?
It's no big deal.
All that matters now is that we're the only ones left.
Yeah.
What will you do after this?
I don't know.
I've never really trusted adults.
My dad and my mom
ran off or died just because they felt like it.
But I'll keep fighting, even though I don't know how...
until I become a real adult.
You won't make it.
Why not?
I told you not to trust anyone, didn't I?
Yeah.
Well, you both trusted me too much.
- You lose. - Cut the sick joke.
This was my way off the island.
Sorry, but I used you guys to save myself.
I don't believe it.
What about Keiko?
There is no Keiko.
She was just a story to suck you in.
But why betray us?
You were perfect.
Just gullible enough.
Hey, Nanahara. Can you really kill me with that gun?
Game over. For real this time.
- Confirm the kills. - Roger.
Operation complete.
- But, sir. - Operation complete.

Rotate your arms.
Stand with legs apart and push out your chest.
Nice job.
Glad you and Kiriyama were in the mix.
- Not going home? - There's no rush.
I want to check one thing first.
You know how to stop the necklaces.
I don't know what you mean.
Someone hacked in and stole that data.
It was you, wasn't it? Not Mimura.
Why? To avenge Keiko?
That's fine.
That's why you played the game, right?
But cheating is no good.
Hey. How was it? Fun?
Two lovebirds, surviving together.
I've had it.
The kids make fun of me at school and my own kid hates me.
There's nowhere I want to go back to.
So we're all going down together.
The only one worth dying with would be you, Nakagawa.
If I had to choose one of you, it would have to be you, Nakagawa.
What? Go ahead, shoot.
Nakagawa, you can do it.
Go, Shuya! You can do it, Shuya!
What's wrong? Shoot me or I'll shoot you.
Ouch!
That hurt, damn it!
I made a promise to protect Noriko.
I know.
Hello.
Shiori.
Listen, I'm not coming home.
If you hate someone then you have to live with the consequences.
Irresponsible? Who the hell asked you?
The last one.
Damn good cookies.
It's beautiful, even though it's where everyone died.
You can even steer a ship?
Sure, my dad's a fisherman.
Just keep going straight and you're bound to hit land.
Give it a try.
We'll part soon. I doubt we'll see each other again.
- Why not? - It's for the best.
It was only three days,
but there's lot of memories I'd rather not remember.
- Kawada. - Yeah?
Thank you so much.
- Nanahara. - Yeah?
It's going to be tough going.
Yeah, I know.
I feel sleepy all of a sudden. Time for a nap.
Meeting you guys,
I finally solved the riddle of Keiko's smile.
What's the answer?
Her parting words.
"Thank you. At the end..."
At the end?
Kawada?
At the end, I'm glad I found a true friend.

Noriko slipped home last night
to bid her sleeping parents farewell.
She took the knife that Nobu used to stab Kitano from her desk.
Each of us has a weapon now.
Even if the time comes to use them again,
it'll never be an easy choice.
But we have no choice but to keep moving forward.
Let's run, Noriko.
Yes.
No matter how far, run for all you're worth.
RUN!

- Are you okay with this? - What?
If anyone sees us together you'll get locked in the toilet again.
No, I've already had my turn.
- Are my classes boring? - Yes.
How dare you!
Coming into the classroom,
all the kids look the same. Like lumpy, ugly potatoes.
Slapping them around helped me tell them apart, to grow to like them.
But not any more.
Lay your hands on a student now and you're fired.
Now, you can't even get angry when a student stabs you.
- Can I tell you something? - What?
The knife that stabbed you...
to tell you the truth, I keep it in my desk at home.
When I picked it up, I wasn't sure what do do with it.
But now, for some reason, I really treasure it.
That's our secret. Just between us.
- Tell me, Nakagawa. - Yes?
In this moment, what should an adult say to a kid?
