Battle Royale

Following a recession, a totalitarian Japanese government passes an act to curb juvenile delinquency, sending a random middle school class to participate in a game called Battle Royale. As middle schooler Shuya Nanahara struggles to process his father's suicide, his friend Yoshitoki Kuninobu stabs their teacher Kitano, who subsequently resigns.
