Quentin Tarantino’s Lost Kill Bill Scene Debuts in Fortnite

After more than two decades, a previously unfilmed scene conceived by Quentin Tarantino for Kill Bill is set to debut, not in theaters, but within the popular online game Fortnite. The announcement was made during the Fortnite Chapter 7 event, featuring appearances from both Tarantino and Kill Bill’s lead actress Uma Thurman, adding excitement among fans of both the film and the game.

Fortnite confirmed the news shortly after with a promotional poster for a new short titled “Yuki’s Revenge,” set to launch alongside Fortnite Chapter 7 on November 30, 2025. The release marks the first-ever adaptation of this lost Kill Bill moment in an interactive, digital format. As part of the build-up, Fortnite posted a teaser with the tagline:

Background: Who Is Yuki Yubari and Why Was the Scene Cut?

“Yuki’s Revenge” refers to a storyline Tarantino initially wrote in 2003 during the development of Kill Bill. The script included a subplot about Yuki Yubari, the sister of Gogo Yubari. Gogo, memorably played by Chiaki Kuriyama, met her end at the hands of Uma Thurman’s character, Beatrix Kiddo (also known as The Bride), during the House of Blue Leaves sequence set in Japan.

Although the character of Yuki never appeared in the movies, the poster for the Fortnite short shows she shares a family resemblance with Gogo—distinguished by her pigtails, in contrast to Gogo’s straight hair. According to interviews over the years, Quentin Tarantino decided against filming this segment due to concerns over pacing and the already extended runtime of the two-part Kill Bill film, which together approach four hours in length.

Integration with Fortnite and Upcoming Film Release

The Fortnite collaboration expands on Kill Bill’s presence in gaming culture. Fans previously spotted Beatrix Kiddo, outfitted in her well-known yellow tracksuit, riding a motorcycle during the Fortnite Chapter 6 finale teaser. The event also confirmed that both Yuki and Gogo Yubari would be appearing in-game alongside The Bride, making key characters from the films playable for Fortnite users. The new short, “Yuki’s Revenge,” is expected to introduce more background for Yuki, a character never before explored on screen.

This partnership between Quentin Tarantino and Fortnite arrives as anticipation mounts for the upcoming theatrical re-release, Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. For the first time, both parts of Kill Bill will be shown together in a single 4 hour, 40-minute screening, incorporating previously unseen footage. However, “Yuki’s Revenge” will remain exclusive to Fortnite, since it was never filmed and Tarantino claims recreating it in live-action now would not be possible.

What the Collaboration Means for Fans

Fortnite Chapter 7 and “Yuki’s Revenge” premiere on November 30, while Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair comes to theaters on December 5. Fans of Quentin Tarantino, Kill Bill, and the Fortnite gaming community are looking forward to seeing how the lost scene is brought to life for the first time, providing new context on Yuki Yubari and enriching both the film’s universe and gameplay experience.

This crossover exemplifies the evolving relationship between iconic films and modern gaming, offering a fresh way for fans to engage with Quentin Tarantino’s storytelling outside traditional cinema. As Fortnite continues to expand its roster of well-known characters, Kill Bill’s legacy achieves new relevance for a new generation of players.
