Battle Royale (2000)

‘Battle Royale’ was a controversial 1999 Japanese novel by Koushun Takami. It was later adapted into a live action film - Battle Royale (2000). Takami later published a 3,000 page illustrated manga version of the story.

The premise of Battle Royale revolves around “The Program,” a government sponsored event which forces randomly selected junior high school classes to murder each other until there is only one survivor. Each student is given a duffle bag containing a randomly selected weapon. Their weapons may be guns, knives, clubs, or toys. Many of the characters’ weapons differ in the three versions.

The class from Battle Royale

Smith & Wesson Model 19 .357

In the novel boy #18 Tadakatsu Hatagami’s weapon is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 .357. Since there are many variants of this popular model ranging greatly in barrel length and color it is unclear what exactly the revolver looked like. After his death the gun is used by the villainous Mitsuko Souma until she is killed by Kazuo.
