Again, spoilering because I don't know how trigger happy mods are.
>>286203276What bad pussy does to a mfer
Chapter 17
>>286203107>It's all in the "timing"
>>286203620Goddamnit. I wasn't even thinking that like with other kengan one-liner memes. Ya got me good.
So our good 'ole boy Kawada is an alumni. How magnanimous.
>>286203679Fucking bullshit that there's no double jeopardy for this.You can get drawn 2 years in a row?
>>286203767>a fucking forkThe organizers were trolling, holy shit.
>>286203848Kawada got the shit end of the stick. He just happened to be in the school that was next on the chopping block.>>286203880When they said roulette, the organizers meant it. Surprise!
And a shining light appears.
>>286203987FUCK
Chapter 18
>>286204124I like this argument. Its a good example of how the same sentiment can be muddied depending on if its altruistic or desperate.
>>286204213Battle Royale, for all it's edginess, gives very good insight in human dilemma. One conundrum that would stop a person dead in their tracks would be overcome by another ambiguously and amorally.
Chapter 19
>BETRAYAL
>>286204988>It was at that moment she knew
Chapter 20
>>286202724>>286202743Anon is walking down the hallway and sees this.What do you do next?
>>286202811>>286202838>no condom Pussy was just that good huh
>>286205220Mitsuko is a succubbus in human form. Splurge inside all you want and she'll never give you a bastard.
Poor guy just wanted his love to live.
>>286205262This is a good page
>>286203653>>286203679Poor guy. Now this is some shitty luck.
>>286203880ikr? classic trolling, even the girl who had the darts had better than that
Of course nothing good ever happens.
>>286204671Bit too late to back out now that you're in the hotel room and naked
Chapter 21
>>286204988Damn
Another victim of the great whore.
>>286205801When "why women deserve less" was written the author was imagining her
Chapter 22
>13 y/o Mim had more game picking up girls than most of us would have ever dreamedI guess himbos run in the family.
>>286205723So now she has a gun AND a scythe. Nice going.
>>286206251Gundam Deathscythe Succubbus ver. Ka.
>>286206252>bartender>ladies man>revolutionary >baller Possibly top 10 rad dudes of all time
>>286206286Battle Royale has some amazing parents/parental figures here. And the really bad ones.
>>286206286>ladies manDo you know what confirmed bachelor usually means? I know the TL is wack in a lot of places, so it was probably just a bad turn of phrase
Chapter 23
>>286206252The uncle is 100% his dad
Goddamnit Mim. With all your brains and swagger you probably didn't check that collars are voiced tracked or that the connection could simply be a trap.
>>286206840>trackernice
Chapter 24
>>286204030My fvarking hero
>>286207226>that little bladeDamn they did a lot of the girls dirty except for the succubi group. I guess they really wanted a male winner this round.
>>286207273That's not even a blade. It's an ice pick.
>>286207369Iconic
Fuck nodded off a bit.
Aaaand done! Danke fer comin'!Alot of the weaker, minor characters are trimmed out. And we'll be seeing more of the top players as the game progresses. Did any of your bets get taken out yet?
>>286207809Thanks OP>Did any of your bets get taken out yet?Not yet, they're still holding on.
>>286202645>>286182022This 'kid' is literally 40 years old.
>>286206496>'s like they were inviting me in.Uh... that's usually a sign that they WERE inviting you in.
>>286207273Are the weapons chosen for the student, or just grabbed at random?
>>286207809Thanks for the dump, OP. I'm loving the topics and discussions on humanity and what it means to love, be an individual, and be human. But I also hate and despise this corrupt government, and the ugly officials who perpetuate and take enjoyment from seeing the innocent suffer while getting high off of their own asses. Which fits as the intended feeling we're suppossed to get from them. But I don't like how our own real government are getting scarily closer, if not more monstrous than these fictional ones.
>>286206474Im a little confused as to when the organizers can and cant just listen to them. Sometimes its implied they can hear and see anything, and then main characters constantly plot against the game and collars out loud with no reprecussion. After the intro id assume even mentioning the collars out loud could be grounds to blow them and this guys ratting on his uncle lmao.
>>286208426Chosen. The kids were called to collect the bags in a particular order. If you're number 3 you're more likely to pick up the next available bag after numbers 1 and 2 picked up their bags instead of reaching from the back of the pile and picking up a random bag. Also the kids had just seen two of their classmates die in front of them so as a whole they were more likely to be obedient and queue than pick a random bag. Don't forget the game show has info on all of them and have already picked their favourites to win.
>>286205126Join the fun and start pissing too!>>286202724>>286202743>>286202767>>286202784Jesus, what a woman.
>>286202743H-hot...
>>286204988>BETRAYED ME
>>286203620Please, not here too, I'm going insane. There's no place to go without keng/a/n memes haunting me....
>>286203653Twice in a fucking row, holy shit. How did they not know him then? Did he change his name?
>>286202767Clockwork Orange ass narration
>>286203531>Dartboard setI bet they have fun picking out the gag weapons for this.
>>286204988Welp.
>>286205335>37! My girlfriend sucked 37 dicks!
>>286207369Sugi has exceptional taste
>>286202655I would never understand the appeal of femme fatale/seductress/hot bitch archetype
>>286207737you ever get so mad that you started cursing like an indian
>>286203848Some people actually win the big jackpot lottery twice in a row. It's super rare, but it happens
>>286205567one of the most fucked up pages
>>286210803>How did they not know him then? Did he change his name?No breaks on the death game roulette, though I wonder if a kid was sick and unable to attend the trip would they kidnap then that kid and bring him to the island anyway.
>>286210949It is pretty naturalistic slangy 00s dialog. This is just how Gen X and older Millennials talk. Camel Toe is the kind of shit you'd hear on MTV.
>>286205220There's such a thing as a whore that is too good to bag it up for.
>>286203620You motherfucker.
>>286203276
>>286203653>>286203679So winning doesn't even get you out of the lottery? Although, knowing this government, it'd just make it more likely for you to be put in the next one. A sane survivor is a dangerous element in society.
>>286203721Yeah, I think there was no way this kid was going to live. I imagine all the survivors 'coincidentally' end up in the next game, too.
>>286215199I've read the novel, the manga in a different language and the manga in english.The way ive always interpreted why the government allows someone to get picked twice is that they just do not care at all. They oppress their people and want them scared and paranoid. They have 0 compassion so they would never think of putting in the extra work to make it so that someone cant get picked twice.
>>286216052IMO, its more like the government is sadistic and paranoid enough to rope every survivor into another death game intentionally just to keep them from causing trouble afterwards.
>>286216052This makes some level of sense, but the info blurbs we get about the government are actually a little inconsistent in my opinion. Its a socialist country, which you can really read in any direction, you could take that as evidence of basically any preconceived political notion you want, but on top of that we get the implication that they’re involved in no major wars, but they have a purely volunteer military service with constitutional protection against the draft, and in almost all of the flashbacks society seems to be running pretty effectively with average people having money and resources for luxuries. Giving up the draft is really massive for an authoritarian society, that’s a chance to supervise youth, to indoctrinate, to create further social dependency on the government, to quietly kill off young people you don’t like, to make common families feel in someway connected to the government since their sons are in service, and to maintain an extremely large military force. Compared to imperial Japan the people in this society seem way better off, only a couple years of military rule in the 1940s led to wars with basically all of their neighbors and rationing of incredibly basic goods below survival standards. I get that there are plenty of crummy societies or if you put cameras in the right place, you could pick up on similar lucky glimpses, but the author has full control over what to show us and so far even the orphans seem to lead pretty comfortable lives attending a quality education in safe neighborhoods with large backyards and decent amount amounts of privacy and room for independent thought. The Program really seems like a uniquely terrible and inhumane part of a society that we have otherwise not been given considerable reason to believe is poisoned beyond repair. Furthermore, I really don’t see how the Program would help any common authoritarian aims. It really just seems like something that would get the people really mad.
>>286216885yeah from what we get so far this program doesnt make sense to exist, on all flashbacks so far life is complete normal on that society with no true reason for they to just accept a death game that serves no purpouse
>>286202743
>>286203767He's ready to take a bite out of the competition!!
>>286206252>>286206276Yeah, he is his actual father, isn't he?
>>286206859Huh, wonder what he got for a weapon.
>>286207809Thanks.
>>286207809Thank you for posting.
>>286216885Death matches are great for drama and action and IRL commentary, but the in-universe explanations for them are always rather flimsy. The info blurb in the last volume about their country was very funny, it seemed like the author was trying to defeat every possible objection to his idea without thinking about how it all fits together. They're a socialist military dictatorship but also the richest country in the world so they can sink infinity money into oppressing their people and other countries can't do anything about it. Okay lol.
>>286203965Look at how massive this fucker is.
>>286204030Its not gay if he's Miura.
>>286203848>You can get drawn 2 years in a row?Technically, yes, but the story clarifies it further later so it doesn't sound so random.
>>286204096>>286204159Nice of the game masters to give them smokes.
>>286204290>>286204309Pinkies out, be a fancy lad!
>>286204457So this is how a praying mantis feels.
>>286206328Le 4chan hacker will help us
>>286219267The tracker
>>286227345THAT CAN'T EVEN BE CATEGORIZED AS A WEAPON! JUST CALL THEM RANDOM EQUIPMENT INSTEAD, GOD DAMN IT!
>>286227487tbf the guy is a martial artist. He IS the weapon, and if he was playing the game he could have taken out a few people by now using that tracker.
>>286202645LETS READ THIS TRASH!!!
>>286227685I thought it's random? Jesus, the fork guy.
I’m not going to lie to you, brothers, this was actually one of the first manga I ever read. I liked it, although I always wondered why everyone looked 10–15 years older than they were supposed to be
>>286202655whoreeee
OPbros…
>>286204534>>286204558The Feds like to have fun. Also Miura has a future in electrical engineering up there with Edison, if he managed to get a car battery to run a laptop hardwired safely.
>>286204700Its funny that the short haired whore was actually into it.
>>286204925The good old 2000s.
>>286204988Why are men like this?
>>286206814Loose lips sink ships, Mimura.
>>286205163>>286205188man moment
>>286205638The queen has gotten an upgrade.
OP’s classroom got abducted
Squid Games have nothing on this. They dont make death games like they used too.
>>286230708It's over... wait a second, he's underage then!
>>286205801>>286205815>>286205836Belladonna sweet.
>>286205921I'd be surprised too. That ugly bastard was a ninja all along.
Sorry guys. Got kidnapped by family. Got drunk by cousin and he drunk me under the table. Last I barely remember was trying to captcha and almost breaking my keyboard from anger.
>>286234978That’s funny to picture
>>286205962I'd believe in this kid a lot more if he wasn't ugly. This seems like a manga where all the uggos die but the handsome ones survive.
>>286206143What a slut he is.
>>286206230Freeze peach?
>>286206252>>286206276>>286206301Yeah, this is the real daddy.
>>286206349Crazy that this nation running a murder reality tv show even has external internet access
>>286206496This feels like a 500IQ moment that is actually 50IQ later on.
>>286206541The arrogance of youth.
>>286237156There could be North Koreans with VPNs posting here right now in this very thread.
>>286239004That sounds like bullshit but I believe it.
>>286206814It really was a 50IQ play.
>>286207286Good aim on that kid.
>>286207369What a woman.
>>286207809Thanks
I have the scans, myself, but I can’t be bothered to dump them.
At least it's confirmed OP isn't playing the game.
