The reason it's also known as “death game“ is just because Battle Royale was the forerunner for sabaibukei and it depicts the most literally “death game“. However, it's not meant to be taken in an extremely literal sense. It's important to note that this is just a small slice of a bigger picture. Hit me up on Twitter: _Sources_ Tanaka, M.
