FORTNITE Is Bringing a Lost KILL BILL Short to Life with Quentin Tarantino’s Blessing
Over two decades after Kill Bill carved its way into movie history, a long forgotten moment from Quentin Tarantino’s script is finally being realized, only not in the theatrical re-release fans expected.
Instead, this unshot sequence is being reborn inside Fortnite, giving players a fresh slice of Kill Bill lore in a place no one saw coming.
At the recent Fortnite Chapter 7 event, Uma Thurman appeared alongside Tarantino as Epic Games officially unveiled an animated short titled Yuki’s Revenge. Fortnite later shared the first poster on Twitter, confirming that the short will debut when Fortnite 7 launches on November 30, 2025.
So what is Yuki’s Revenge? Back in 2003, while shaping the Kill Bill script, Tarantino wrote a standalone story centered on Yuki Yubari, sister of the infamous Gogo.
According to reporting from Fandom Wire, Yuki was written as a revenge driven counterpart who sets out to confront Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo. In Kill Bill Volume 1, Beatrix battles and kills Gogo at the House of Blue Leaves, leaving behind a sister who never made it into the final films.
Yuki’s design in the poster features Gogo but swaps the straight hair for pigtails. Tarantino has talked about this lost sequence over the years, explaining that he cut it for pacing. Across two films that already stretch past four hours, something had to give.
Hints of this crossover began earlier when Beatrix appeared in the Fortnite Chapter 6 finale teaser, riding a motorcycle in her iconic yellow tracksuit.
Soon after, Fortnite revealed that both Gogo and Yuki Yubari would join the game’s expanding roster. The short will likely set the stage for how Yuki fits into this universe and what drives her once players get the chance to step into her shoes.
Some fans may wonder why Tarantino is choosing to debut this missing piece of the story in a game rather than in the upcoming theatrical re-release Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair.
That event will finally present both volumes back to back in a massive four hour and forty minute screening that includes never before seen footage. Yuki’s tale is absent from that cut simply because it never existed on film and shooting it now in live action would be nearly impossible.
Fortnite Chapter 7 arrives November 30, bringing Yuki’s Revenge along with it. Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair hits theaters on December 5. Kill Bill Fans are about to get a double hit of Tarantino world building, which is pretty cool.
