"The Lost Chapter: Yuki's Revenge" is an animated Kill Bill sequence directed by Quentin Tarantino and brought to life inside Fortnite through a collaboration with Epic Games. The short revives a chapter that was scripted for Kill Bill Vol. One but never shot for the original films.
The story focuses on Yuki, the sister of Gogo Yubari (played in the films by Chiaki Kuriyama). After Gogo is killed, Yuki travels to confront Uma Thurman’s character, The Bride, in the United States to avenge her sister. The new project finally realises that storyline as a self-contained "lost chapter" more than two decades after it was first conceived.
Instead of live-action, the sequence uses stylised animation powered by Unreal Engine and models derived from Fortnite. Uma Thurman returns as The Bride through performance capture, while Fortnite characters such as Peely and Skull Trooper also appear, making the short simultaneously part of the Kill Bill universe and part of Fortnite’s ongoing narrative.

Cinema release and Fortnite cosmetic rewards
After the in-game debut, Yuki's Revenge moves into cinemas as part of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. That combined cut presents both original volumes and the new animated chapter together as a single extended feature, with screenings starting from 5 December 2025 in participating theaters.
The collaboration also ties directly into Fortnite through a pair of cosmetic rewards linked to specific events and purchases. These are outlined below.
| Path | What you do | Reward | Region / notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| End of Chapter live event | Take part in Fortnite’s end of Chapter live event on Saturday, 29 November, where The Bride joins a large crossover cast. | Yuki Yubari skin | Granted free for players who attend the live event. |
| Cinema ticket promotion | Purchase a ticket for the opening weekend of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair from a participating theater between 20 and 29 November. | Code for the Gogo Yubari Fortnite outfit | Promotion applies to US players; availability depends on theater participation. |
These items extend the collaboration back into the game, letting players equip characters directly tied to the events of Yuki's Revenge and the original Kill Bill films.
Yuki's Revenge in the wider Kill Bill and Fortnite context
For long-time Kill Bill viewers, Yuki's Revenge stands out as new canonical material arriving more than twenty years after the original films. Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman have both indicated that a Kill Bill Vol. Three is unlikely, and Tarantino has since cancelled a planned final feature titled The Movie Critic. Against that backdrop, a freshly realised chapter with The Bride at its centre carries particular weight.
For Fortnite, the project represents a high-profile narrative crossover that goes beyond character skins. The game’s tools and character models are used to tell a story that also sits inside a well-known film franchise, rather than existing only as a themed event or location. Watching Yuki's Revenge in Fortnite, then later within Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, offers a rare example of a single narrative thread shared between a live service game and a theatrical re-release.
