 72 Hours / Fan Fic
comment
72 Hours is a Fan Fiction written by Anthony Marston and based on the cult Japanese novel, film and manga Battle Royale. It is a specific type of Battle Royale fanfiction that blurs the lines between original and fanfiction, called an Original Battle Royale (OBR). OBRs take the basic premise of the original – young people in an isolated location, given random weapons and forced to kill each other to a single survivor – and little more.The technical rules of the “Program” are usually the same or similar, including an accessory loaded with a microphone and explosives that’s used to ensure compliance, and a grid-like map with areas that cannot be entered without detonating the accessories (so called “Danger Zones”, used to prevent the students all hiding on opposite sides of the area). The reason for the Program’s existence can vary but generally will be either a top secret government research project, with the deaths of the students written off as an accident on a school trip, a regular example set to citizens of what a bad idea opposing the government is, or an naturalised part of a justice system that – along with the greater public - accepts the forced sacrifice of a few dozen innocents to ensure law and order are maintained. Everything else varies at the whim of the author, including characters, plots, weapons, themes and writing style. There are common character types and plots, with those of the original being seen as archetypal, but as with any other media, innovation is common. Lengths vary dramatically from short-story to Doorstopper, depending on the author.72 Hours uses the latter premise, though as is common the Program is a fairly new idea, albeit spreading across the world like a virus as more and more countries realise how effective it is at keeping the problematic youth in check. Its class of 50 students are shown entering their island surroundings, forming and breaking alliances and generally doing whatever they can to either make the most of their last hours alive, or whatever they can to survive.Unlike the original, there's no singular protagonist or antagonist. For the most part however the heroes are those aligned with the insurrectionist student politicians of SABRE and the antagonists are three Ax-Crazy sadists and the relentlessly brutal wrestling club, all of whom greatly enjoy torturing and killing anyone who gets in their way. A few important sub-plots notwithstanding, most of the others tend to be either Red Shirts or else victims of one of the above groups.It can be found here.There is a sequel, known as 72 Hours: Uprising, but it has been a Dead Fic since 2009. Marston also started on an Expanded Universe, but only wrote two stories for it.

This Loser Is You: In the sequel, the Program fan Nick King is obviously meant as a mockery of all the quasi-sociopathic fans who wish they could have a Battle Royale with their own classes. Nick doesn't last long.

Crapsack World: The Program is even accepted among the students now as a part of life. For the uninitiated, this means that people aren’t concerned by the fact that dozens of teenagers are forced to butcher each other every year. Indeed, more and more countries appear to be adopting the Program because of how successful it is (America is actually following the leader, the Republic of Greater East Asia).

Chekhov's Gun

comment
Chekhov's Gun: Francisco’s cross necklace. The blade on a bikechain makes a brief reappearance during Katie’s final fight with Damien, but far and away the best example is the graphic calculator dropped on the ground very early on. It kills Damien, the final and most dangerous of the Four Big Bads. Anyone claiming to have seen this coming without having read ahead or been told about it is lying.

He Who Fights Monsters
 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_2c1f1138
comment
He Who Fights Monsters: The general consensus of the Battle Royale fandom is that in order to so much as survive to the last day of the Program you have to either already be Ax-Crazy or else succumb to this. Here, Doug is the clearest cut example, going from an unfortunately necessary execution of a traitor to utterly destroying a soldier's head with a shovel as he's on his knees, begging for mercy. The only reason this doesn't fall under What the Hell, Hero? because everyone else is too scared of him to actually do that.

Bulletproof Vest: Damien and Katie both get one in the end. Unfortunately it’s one of the less well done aspects of the book, with the vests seemingly conferring near total immunity to point-blank shotgun blasts, with dozens of pistol and machinegun bullets only managing to crack a single rib of Damien’s. Katie, despite being extremely fragile, apparently takes no damage whatsoever. Very literal Plot Armor, then.

Gory Discretion Shot: The vast majority of the gore is shown directly but most of the details of J.J. Squalls’ torture is left to the imagination. The weapons used are shown, and it clearly involves the removal of various small parts of the body in the process (the remains are pickled and kept as a souvenir) but what exactly the torture is isn’t shown. Considering that what is shown qualifies as Nausea Fuel, this is a mercy.

Dark Chick: The Extreme Doormat C.C., who is utterly devoid of personality and only there to be a sexual plaything for Joel The Brute: Shane. Effectively a living brick Joel throws at things that need beaten up, or killed in the case of the Program.

 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_5caef4ca
comment
Chainsaw Good: Paul, big time. Interestingly, despite some instances of Rule of Cool being used, the time required to get the blade going is recognised. Thus it’s also switched off, turned upside down and used as a weapon to hit someone just as they come through the door. It’s an unusual but quite reasonable use of a big heavy hunk of metal.

 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_6627695f
comment
Author Appeal: 80s slasher films and music, there being a ridiculous number of references to each - including an entire song quoted at each 6 hourly report. Paul and JJ Squalls seem to be fanatics of the respective genres just so Marston can get away with including so many. For some reason, students tend to quote entire songs in their heads or at each other. He also likes using certain words; expect every student who isn't obese to be described as wiry, with this occuring on one occasion five times within a single chapter.

Big Bad Ensemble
 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_72cdfc33
comment
Big Bad Ensemble: Joel as head of the wrestlers, Split Personality maniac Damien, religious zealot Katie (who teams up with Joel) and Cold Sniper Marie. Which is the biggest of the bads is up for debate, since each is prominent from the start and they terrorize different groups of students at different times. That said, it's of note that Marie dies much earlier than the others, Damien kills Katie and dies last of the four himself, but Joel is a more direct antagonist to the main protagonists, SABRE. Big Bad Duumvirate: Joel and Katie and Marie and Damien. The latter is interesting because while Damien admires her for her brutality, she has nothing but contempt for him. Joel and Katie become a more conventional example.

Shout-Out
 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Far, far too many to list – it would require its own page. The number is impressive, nearing several hundred shoutouts. These range from subtle dialogue references to including the entire plot of Carrie as Damien's backstory (and everyone else's, by virtue of the Prom being ruined - albeit non-fatally - by the chaos resulting from Damien's humiliation there by the Brat Pack). The sheer gratuity of the references may grate however, such as classic rock songs frequently being quoted in their entirety.

Charles Atlas Superpower: Damien clearly has it. In the original Battle Royale, Kazuo Kiriyama is a borderline example, but doesn't really count. Damien, on the other hand, is a skinny kid with one good arm who is the physically strongest guy on the island.

Expy
 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_e5421161
comment
Expy: Lisa, to the original's Kyoichi Motobuchi. AJ, to the original's Yoshio Akamatsu. Benny the Bunny is obviously inspired by the cheerful girl instructor Oneesan in the Battle Royale movie. Damien, on the other hand, appears to be a combination of Gollum and Carrie. The latter is taken further, with the entire Brat Pack serving, in relation to him, as expies of the rest of Carrie's cast. Doug also counts as a heroic version of GoldenEye’s Boris Grishenko for some reason (right down to the catchphrase, “I am INVINCIBLE”). In the sequel, Cletus Charrington is an Expy of the movie version's Kazuo Kiriyama. A transfer student who signed up for fun, he is an insane mass murderer who never speaks. Also, Ashley Vasquez in her second Program is obviously inspired by Shogo Kawada.

Like You Would Really Do It
 72 Hours / Fan Fic / int_e6043813
comment
Like You Would Really Do It: Invoked by the author with Doug performing a gangland-style execution upon Gus - did anyone actually believe he was going to do that? The fact that the narrative cuts away at the moment the trigger is pulled is a clear attempt to leave it open, and indeed it’s not actually explicitly stated that it really was exactly what it looked like until a couple of dozen chapters later. Jacob’s death at the end of a chapter designed as if it were the start of a long plotline also qualifies, given Nick and Tamyra’s deaths in the same way much earlier.
