As the Gods Will (Kami-sama no Iu Toori (神さまの言うとおり)) is a 2014 Japanese supernatural horror film directed by Takashi Miike. It is based on the first arc of the manga series Kami-sama no Iu Toori by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and Akeji Fujimura.
High school student Shun Takahata spends much of his time playing violent video games. One morning at school he whines that his life is completely boring but then he suddenly finds himself forced to participate in a game of Daruma-san ga koronda with death as the penalty for losing. When the Daruma doll turns toward the blackboard it exposes a button on its back that the students can attempt to press to end the game but if the doll spins back round and sees anyone moving then those students' heads will explode. Everyone in the class but Shun dies in this first game.
After the game Shun finds his childhood friend Ichika and they make their way to the school gym. There they play a Maneki Neko, where students dressed as mice attempt to throw a bell into a hoop attached to the collar of a giant cat doll. Those who miss are killed. Amaya wins this challenge and enables the students to move on to the next challenge in a giant cube hovering Tokyo.
Shun must keep winning a series of different deadly children's games in order to protect himself and Ichika. He has no knowledge of who is behind the games or what their ultimate purpose is. Meanwhile, a troubled classmate named Takeru seems to revel in the opportunity to cause the death of other students. The next game is Kokeshi, where the students have to be blindfolded and will guess who is behind them within 10 seconds. If they don't, they will be hit with an red laser and made to do what was their action. If the Kokeshi loses, one of them will explode first and a answer key which opens the doors and frees the students to the next level. There, Shun meets Takase, whom he will save and will enter the next level.
The next game is Shirou Kuma. The students have to answer the white bear's questions politely, while Takase and a friend get killed. Shun soon realised that the bear was the liar and the bear's real colour, black, therefore letting the remaining 5 students.
The final game was Matryoshka. The remaining 5 picked a stick each and who gets the red one is the ″Devil″· Whoever gets the face shown or seen by the Devil, caught. If you kick the can, Takeru got the red stick and soon, the 3 students have been caught while Shun found armour to make his hace not seen. Shun drowned himself and Takeru pulled the armour so he can be saved. Shun rose up before Takeru pulled out the armour and Shun was the first to kick the can. They had a ice-cream party where they learned their fates. Shun and Takeru lived while Ichika and the others died.
