battle royale (japanese: バトル・ロワイアル, hepburn: batoru rowaiaru) is the first novel by the japanese author koushun takami.originally completed in 1996, it was not published until 1999.the story tells of junior high school students who are forced to fight each other to the death in a program run by a fictional, fascist, totalitarian japanese government known as the republic of greater east asia.the dystopian novel was previously entered into the 1997 japan horror fiction awards but was eventually rejected in the final round due to concerns over its depictions of students killing each other.upon publication in 1999, the novel became a surprise bestseller.in 2000, one year after publication, battle royale was adapted into a manga series, written by takami himself, and a feature film.the film was both controversial and successful, becoming one of the year's highest-grossing films as well as prompting condemnation by japan's national diet.the film spawned a sequel, and two more brief manga adaptations were also created.the state, known as the republic of greater east asia (大東亜共和国, dai tōa kyōwakoku), arose after an alternate world war 2 where japan emerged victorious and a rebellion was put down by the combined military and police forces.the government controls everything, and anything 'immoral', such as rock music, is banned, unless it beatifies the government, along with an unnamed dictator with a strong cult of personality able to bend the whims of the populace.the government has established a military program, the battle experiment no.68 program (戦闘実験第六十八番プログラム, sentō jikken dai rokujū hachi ban puroguramu), wherein fifty randomly selected classes of third-year junior high school students are kidnapped, dropped into a remote location, and forced to kill one another until only one student of each class remains.ostensibly, it is to help the government and its military research survival skills and battle readiness – in actuality, it is meant to instill terror and distrust in all of japan's citizens to curb any attempts at rebellion, by showcasing the government's power and ability to target citizens' families and preying on the fear of being killed by a friend.a group of students from shiroiwa junior high school (城岩中学校, shiroiwa chūgakkō), a junior high school in the fictional kagawa prefecture town of shiroiwa, prepare for a field trip – among them are wannabe rock star shuya nanahara, whose father was killed by the regime; noriko nakagawa, the demure crush of shuya's best friend; shogo kawada, a quiet, tough young transfer student; and sociopathic prodigy kazuo kiriyama.en route, they are gassed – the 'field trip' was a ruse for the program.they awake in a classroom on a small, vacated island, surrounded by troops, and wearing metal collars around their necks.a teacher, psychopathic sadist kinpatsu sakamochi, briefs the students: the class has been chosen to participate in the program.the students are also given a time limit.if twenty-four hours pass without someone being killed, then all of the collars will be detonated simultaneously and there will be no winner.it is mentioned that only 0.5% of programs end in this fashion.the students are issued survival packs and a random weapon/tool, and sent out onto the island one by one.while most of the students receive guns and knives, some acquire relatively useless items like boomerangs, dartboard darts, or a fork.hiroki sugimura finds a radar device that tracks nearby students, and toshinori oda receives a bulletproof vest.to make sure the students obey the rules and kill each other, the metal collars around their necks track their positions and will explode if they attempt to remove the collars, or linger in 'forbidden zones': randomly chosen areas of the map that increase in number over time, re-sculpting and shrinking the battlefield and forcing the students to move around. | hobits | carbolate | slickers <tsp> hobits | nonadvantageous | preshowing | no related information |

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record. | asterix character | creator | rené goscinny <tsp> asterix character | alternativename | astérix | no related information |

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record. | asterix character | creator | rené goscinny <tsp> asterix character | alternativename | astérix | no related information |

the asterisk ( *), from late latin asteriscus, from ancient greek ἀστερίσκος, asteriskos, 'little star', is a typographical symbol.it is so called because it resembles a conventional image of a heraldic star.computer scientists and mathematicians often vocalize it as star (as, for example, in the a* search algorithm or c*-algebra).in english, an asterisk is usually five- or six-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, and six- or eight-pointed when handwritten.its most common use is to call out a footnote.it is also often used to censor offensive words.in computer science, the asterisk is commonly used as a wildcard character, or to denote pointers, repetition, or multiplication.there is also a two-thousand-year-old character used by aristarchus of samothrace called the asteriskos, ※, which he used when proofreading homeric poetry to mark lines that were duplicated.origen is known to have also used the asteriskos to mark missing hebrew lines from his hexapla.the asterisk evolved in shape over time, but its meaning as a symbol used to correct defects remained.in the middle ages, the asterisk was used to emphasize a particular part of text, often linking those parts of the text to a marginal comment.however, an asterisk was not always used.one hypothesis to the origin of the asterisk is that it stems from the 5000-year-old sumerian character dingir, 𒀭, though this hypothesis seems to only be based on visual appearance.for example, the word 'badword' might become 'ba***rd', 'b*****d', 'b******' or even '*******'.vowels tend to be censored with an asterisk more than consonants, but the intelligibility of censored profanities with multiple syllables such as 'b*dw*rd' and 'b*****d' or 'ba****d', or uncommon ones is higher if put in context with surrounding text.when a document containing classified information is published, the document may be 'sanitized' (redacted) by replacing the classified information with asterisks.for example, the intelligence and security committee russia report.this is because results that have been considered dubious or set aside are recorded in the record books with an asterisk rendering to a footnote explaining the reason or reasons for concern.ruth had amassed 60 home runs in a season with only 154 games, but maris was playing the first season in the american league's newly expanded 162-game season.baseball commissioner ford frick, a friend of ruth's during the legendary slugger's lifetime, held a press conference to announce his 'ruling' that should maris take longer than 154 games both records would be acknowledged by major league baseball, but that some 'distinctive mark' [his term] be placed next to maris', which should be listed alongside ruth's achievement in the 'record books'.the asterisk as such a mark was suggested at that time by new york daily news sportswriter dick young, not frick.the reality, however, was that mlb actually had no direct control over any record books until many years later, and it all was merely a suggestion on frick's part.within a few years the controversy died down and all prominent baseball record keepers listed maris as the single-season record holder.nevertheless, the stigma of holding a tainted record remained with maris for many years, and the concept of a real or figurative asterisk denoting less-than-accepted 'official' records has become widely used in sports and other competitive endeavors.a 2001 tv movie about maris's record-breaking season was called 61* (pronounced sixty-one asterisk) in reference to the controversy.uproar over the integrity of baseball records and whether or not qualifications should be added to them arose again in the late 1990s, when a steroid-fueled power explosion led to the shattering of maris' record. | asterix character | creator | rené goscinny <tsp> rené goscinny | nationality | french people | no related information |
