There's not much relation to it. In Squid Game people play games and happen to kill each other in some of them, but not all the time, in order to make money because they are deep in debt. In Battle Royale, they just kill each other's, there is no real motive.

Exactly. That's a very weak motive. Which is why most kids get killed because they have no appetite for murder.
