Fortnite’s Hidden Kill Bill Chapter: Yuki’s Revenge Explained for New Fans
After more than two decades in limbo, Quentin Tarantino’s lost Kill Bill chapter Yuki’s Revenge finally hits the screen, unleashing a new nemesis for Beatrix Kiddo and the blood-soaked reckoning fans have craved.
Quentin Tarantino is finally dusting off the Kill Bill chapter he wrote decades ago and never shot. The twist: it is not premiering in theaters first. It is premiering inside Fortnite. Yes, that Fortnite. Uma Thurman is back as The Bride, and the whole thing is animated in Unreal Engine. If that sentence makes your brain tilt a little, same.
How and when to watch
- November 30, 2025 at 2 PM ET: Yuki's Revenge debuts inside Fortnite, created in Unreal Engine with Tarantino and Epic Games involved, starring Uma Thurman as The Bride.
- December 5, 2025: A limited theatrical run of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair hits participating theaters in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, with Yuki's Revenge included.
Wait, who is Yuki again?
Yuki Yubari is the younger sister of Gogo Yubari, O-Ren Ishii's ball-and-mace prodigy from Kill Bill: Vol. 1. The Bride kills Gogo in the House of Blue Leaves, and Yuki is the backlash for that. Tarantino originally wrote Yuki for Vol. 1, with Kou Shibasaki intended to play her, but the chapter never made it to camera. Old drafts of the script have floated around online for years (the LiveJournal era really came through on this one), sketching Yuki as a teenage schoolgirl with a cutesy, candy-coated vibe that hides a vicious streak. Unlike Gogo, who fights like a trained assassin, Yuki is more impulsive and chaotic, which in Tarantino world usually means more dangerous than she looks.
Crucially, Yuki does not care about Bill, the Deadly Vipers, or any bigger conspiracy. Her mission is personal: the woman who killed her sister has to die. It is one of the only antagonistic motivations in Kill Bill that mirrors Beatrix Kiddo's own code.
Where this lands in the Kill Bill timeline
The chapter slots in right after The Bride crosses off Vernita Green, the second name on the Death List Five. As Beatrix leaves Vernita's suburban house, Yuki is already on the hunt. The drafts have Yuki shooting photos of landmarks, shadowing the Pussy Wagon, even passing herself off as an ice-cream vendor to keep eyes on The Bride without tipping her hand.
What actually goes down in Yuki's Revenge
Once Yuki makes her move, it turns into a full-on suburban warpath. She ambushes The Bride at her motel, sprays bullets through neighborhood streets, lobs grenades into houses, and tears up lawns in a convertible trying to flush Beatrix out. The chase rips through backyards and swimming pools and crashes into a two-story home, where the fight goes upstairs.
It ends ugly. The Bride drops Yuki at the top of the staircase, but only after emptying multiple guns while Yuki keeps charging with a knife. Beatrix is bleeding out by the end of it and crawls into a nearby treehouse to call a very reluctant nurse to dig out the bullets. That patch job sets her back on the road to Budd, Elle Driver, and finally Bill.
Why this is a curveball (and kind of perfect)
For more than twenty years, Yuki's Revenge has been the great unmade Kill Bill scene you heard about but never saw. Now it is arriving as a Fortnite event before a limited big-screen run. It is weird, it is very 2025, and it is also a clever way to bring a lost chapter to life with the original star and the tech Tarantino's collaborators are already fluent in.
Are you jumping into the game on November 30, or saving it for the theater on December 5? Either way, the missing piece is finally on the board.
