User blog:BloodHunter99/The Hunger Games = Battle Royale

I've come to realize how The Hunger Games and Battle Royale are so similar to each other. Now, I know some of you may not agree, but this is my opinion, feel free to comment below. I'm going to post the similarities and differences.

Similarities

 * Both The Hunger Games and Battle Royale are both a fight to death where children are trapped in an arena to fight until one comes out.
 * In both series, 2 of the tributes/students have been crowned victor, against all odds.
 * The characters represent each other and how they are so alike:
 * Noriko Nakagawa = Katniss Everdeen (The female main protagonist)
 * Shuuya Nanahara = Peeta Mellark (The male main protagonist)
 * Kizuo Kiriyama = Cato (The most brutal killer in the Games/Program)
 * Mitsuko Souma = Clove (The female/second most brutal killer in the Games/Program)
 * Megumi Etou = Rue (The innocent one)
 * The relationship between the main characters in The Hunger Games and Battle Royale. Katniss Everdeen X Peeta Mellark & Noriko Nakagawa X Shuuya Nanahara
 * Both of the main characters in both series are victors of the Games/Program
 * They both have bloodbaths.
 * The most brutal killers don't win the Games/Program
 * Tributes/students get picked.
 * And more, I will note them soon

Differences

 * The Hunger Games is in America, while Battle Royale is in Japan
 * In The Hunger Games tributes get reaped from each district. In Battle Royale a whole class gets picked out by the headmaster.
 * In The Hunger Games, there are 24 tributes (48 in the 50th), while in Battle Royale there are 42 students.
 * The series are written by different authors (duh!)
 * Battle Royale is also a manga
 * The ones who survived in Battle Royale escaped (like Catching Fire)
 * And more, I will note them soon
