Battle Royale High School (真魔神伝 バトルロイヤルハイスクール)

Tokuma Japan Corporation presents:

Over there!

Damn, they're going at it!

Man, even Hontani got knocked out cold!

Baba's the only one left now.

The Club's rep is history!

Damn! The entire Karate Club is dead meat!

Captain Baba's the only one left!

Hey, that's Hyoudo, right? He's kicking ass!

He's such a talented fighter, number one in the club.

It's not surprising you've got the hots for him, Megumi.

Hey, over there! There's your rival!

Takayanagi is not just in Hyoudo's class, but also in his clubs...

Ohh... I'm so jealous! She gets to be with him all the time...

And, on top of that, she's charming...

...and she's got a positive attitude.

On the other hand, look at you!

At this rate, she's gonna beat you out. Is that what you want?

But... when I meet Riki face to face...

...I never know what to say...

...so all I can do is to watch him from a distance.

Captain Baba, if you please...!

Sure... But it's not too late to change your mind...

Think about it. If you quit Karate, what will you do?

After defeating you, Baba, I'll fight the masters...

...of all the schools, until I'm the best in the world. That's all.

My, how glorious! The world's best, huh? Cocky, aren't we!

You never know until you try, Baba.

Not bad, Hyoudo! Try this on for size!

You dodged my Seikenzuki punch!

They don't call you "Captain" for nothing.

You're trying to regain your mental balance...

...by maintaining a space between us to observe my movements.

But, Captain Baba, I've made up my mind...

...and after I've finished with you...

...my study of unconventional techniques will continue.

Then I'll be the best damn fighter in the entire world!

Gotcha!

Baba!

C... Captain! Captain!

Oh? Ryou, what's up? Watcha doin' here?

Look who's talking! What's up with you, Riki?

Huh? Oh, you mean about today...?

I just wanted to test my limits, you know, not just Karate...

You never told me anything like that! Why so sudden?

Hey, wait!

I don't know why myself, but I just felt like fighting!

What's that supposed to mean?!

Riki, do you know what you're doing?

Oh, leave me alone!

No I won't! Baba said he's gonna resign because you beat him.

What will happen to our Club then?

Who knows.

What're you talking about?! It's all your fault!

Baba said that in order for me to quit, I had to knock out the entire club... So I did.

Besides, I had to quit the club in order to compete with guys from other clubs.

Figures. You're only thinking about yourself.

And what about the meet next month?! Without you, we're screwed.

Hey, wait!

I haven't been doing karate for the good of the club...

...and I wasn't competing for the good of the school either!

You bastard! Don't you run away from me!

I haven't finished talking to you! Riki!

Well, see ya tomorrow! Bye now!

You stubborn fool!

Legend of the True Demons Battle Royal High School.

Lord Byoudo, the Dimensional Gate has been opened...

As the legend foretells, when the Gate is opened...

...the Leopard-headed warrior will appear and face a being of the Dark Realm...

At that time, the legendary warrior shall be born...

Your Majesty, thy power is flowing into the Gate...

"Flowing?" You mean, my powers are flowing into another dimension?

A dimension into which a passage is open?

Aye. Perhaps, it is being transmuted into the power of Fate...

...the power that will produce the legendary warrior.

Or perhaps it is already taking some form in the other dimension...

If that is not the case, then perhaps it is a trap laid by someone...

Perhaps it is the work of the heavens, a plot to limit your Majesty's power...

...but why would anyone wish such a thing...?

I care not...

The Dimensional Gate has been opened!

Your Highness!

The time has come to fight!

OK, so what I had just pointed out to you was...

Hmm...? What's wrong, Hyoudo?

Oh! Riki, you're drooling!

The time has come to fight!

Yo, Riki! Wake up! You're still in class!

That numbskull! What's he thinking?!

Wake up, Hyoudo!

Yowch!

Damn, was I dreaming?!

Damn, was I dreaming?! Dreaming what?!

Dreaming what?!

Stand! Dreaming what?!

Hey, Hyoudo! I'm not done with you!

Bow!

Lunch, dudes!

I'm gonna go buy some baked goodies. Want anything?

Could you get me my usual?

No problemo!

There's a faculty meeting this afternoon to discuss the mess you caused yesterday...

...and now you fall asleep in my class, and even mumble while you're at it!

You're a real whiz!

You see, the Karate Club Captain, Baba, is resigning to take responsibility.

The Club advisor, Mr. Ishiguro, is not very happy.

It's possible you might get left back, Hyoudo!

So, you did that?!

Everybody in school is talking about the "Leopardmask Man!"

Riki thinks about nothing but putting himself in the spotlight!

You beat the entire Karate Club?

You beat the entire Karate Club? Yup...

Didn't know you were that strong!

What are you guys talking about?

You don't know?!

You don't know?! Nope...

He fought the entire Karate Club, and beat them all, just so he could quit!

No shit! Really? Wow!

But, why did you have to wear a Leopard mask?

To get attention.

Besides, I found it in my house. And I thought it was cool, so...

With this on, I'll be the #1 fighter in the world, in all schools!

Captain Baba! Please reconsider, for the sake of the Club!

Thanks...

...but I won't change my mind.

I just handed in my resignation. You see, I wasn't strong enough.

But, it was all Riki's fault...

But, it was all Riki's fault... No, it was all mine.

Captain Baba!

I'm sorry if I sound selfish...

Here ya go! They didn't have meat-pies today...

...so I brought cutlets and egg sandwiches instead.

Twelve of 'em, as usual!

Thanks!

And so, I'll wear my mask like a guerilla soldier...

...and I'll beat the hell out of the other schools.

Eventually, the media is gonna flip over me!

And then I'll be in the papers and on TV everywhere...

...and I'll get to mouth off about everything!

And then? And then? Then what?

Listen. Then, I'll get on the nerves of those pro fighters with big egos...

...and when they accept my challenge, the rest is history.

I'll just keep on kicking their butts, and I'll be a major celebrity!

A World-Class celebrity from our class?! That's awesome, man!

Say, if you'd like, you can have this.

Huh...? Are you sure?

I mean, if a future celebrity has my lunch now...

...when you become real celebrity, I can brag about it in my neighborhood!

Oh yeah? Thanks, man!

Here, it's for you!

Here, it's for you! Then, if you don't mind!

Us country guys, we're so square! You can have mine too!

Gee, thanks!

Gee, thanks! Have mine too! Please!

Have mine too! Please!

Thanks! Have mine too! Please!

Thanks!

Thanks! Mine too!

Mine too!

And mine, please! Mine too!

Why, everybody, thank you very much!

Huh...?! Ryou, you too? You got a lunch for me?

Oh, you want my autograph!

What're you so happy about?! Baba resigned from the Club, you know!

Master Byoudo... Pray, caution... Do not underestimate them...

Naive fools...

Hmm...?

Two...

Three...

I see...

Why'd you do that...?! Hey...? Guys?!

Uh-oh... Did I hit my head too hard or...

She's cold...

It's hard! Huh...?

A... A classroom?!

What happened to the hallway?! I DID hit my head hard!

Lemme see what's there.

That's weird... I didn't know we had a classroom like this!

Lend me your ears...

Among my world's many legends, one foretells this tale...

...that when the Gate of Light opens, a Leopard-headed warrior will appear.

It is in his Otherworld that a fierce battle will be fought...

But before the victor can conquer the two worlds...

...he becomes the Leopard-headed warrior, whom I must face.

The time that has been foretold has come!

Oh, fuck that shit! I'll kick your ass! Come out and fight!

"I am Byoudo, Master of the Dark Realm..."

Byoudo, the Master of the Dark Realm?!

Damn! There's a few too many of them!

I am Byoudo, the Master of the Dark Realm...

You're the Harem-King that I saw in my dream!

I had imagined that it was merely a matter of defeating you...

However, there is one thing I must confirm...

W... What the...?

Got anything else you wanna show me?

Just as I had expected...

This was all a diabolical trap, sprung on me...

...by someone who could not tolerate my relentless increase in power.

Whatever you say, you fruitcake!

Stop mumbling and get on with it. What's next...? Get a move on!
