In Kill Bill: Volume 1, Quentin Tarantino incorporates an animated, manga-style sequence, produced by the Japanese studio Production I.G, to recount the tragic origin of O-Ren Ishii, one of the Bride's main targets. This passage is iconic for its aesthetic inspired by manga and Japanese animation: it depicts young O-Ren witnessing her parents' murder by the yakuza underworld, then her bloody revenge with a katana, which she already wields with formidable precision. This choice of anime narration stylizes the extreme violence and reinforces the link between the world of Kill Bill and samurai culture, but also anchors O-Ren's character in a Japanese imaginary.
As for the katana, the weapon plays a central role in the world of Kill Bill: the Bride (Beatrix Kiddo) travels to Okinawa to obtain a katana specially forged for her by the mythical Hattori Hanzo, a master swordsmith who had sworn never to make weapons again until she convinced him to break his retirement. This katana, described in the film as "the finest sword ever forged," symbolizes the quest for revenge and respect for the codes of bushido. During the final duel against O-Ren, the Bride uses this Hanzo katana to defeat her, with O-Ren acknowledging the blade's quality just before she dies.
