 Our heroine, known only to the audience as The Bride is introduced in a blood-spattered wedding gown immediately after a violent massacre at an El Paso, Texas wedding chapel. She attempts to tell her would-be killer, Bill, that she is pregnant with his baby, but he shoots her in the side of the head, and leaves her for dead.
Four years later, the Bride wakes up from her coma in the present and is horrified to discover she is no longer with child. Before beginning her quest of revenge, the Bride travels to Okinawa to see Hattori Hanzo, a renowned sword-smith, who has retired to the life of a sushi chef. Though Hanzo has taken an oath to never make another sword, The Bride is able to convince him of the merit of her mission, and he forges for her the best sword he has ever created.
The first to fall under her sword was O-Ren Ishii, codename: Cottonmouth. The Bride tracks O-Ren to a hangout called the "House of Blue Leaves," where O-Ren dispatches her subordinantes to deal with The Bride. She eliminates them all in a bloody sword fight, then turns her attention to O-Ren, climaxing in a dramatic swordfight in a snowy garden, where O-Ren is scalped by The Bride with her Hattori Hanzo sword.
On the flight back to the United States, The Bride makes her "Death List Five."
