12 Terrible Movie Characters Redeemed By Awesome Deaths
6. Kazushi Niida - Battle Royale
With Kinji Fukasaku's blackly comic dystopian masterpiece featuring a cast of 40-something children, it's not terribly surprising that there are some annoying characters in the bunch.
None are quite as loathsome, however, as Kazushi Niida (Hirohito Honda), a horny little degenerate who has designs on track star Takako Chigusa (Takako Chigusa). Niida takes things too far, however, when he essentially tries to coerce Chigusa into sex at crossbow-point, and accidentally fires an arrow at her face.
Cause Of Death: Chigusa responds to Niida's, ahem, accidental discharge, by pulling out a pocket knife, chasing Niida down and stabbing him in the crotch and stomach repeatedly until he expires.
Wannabe-rapist gets stabbed in the d***. What's more poetic than that? Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
