The Bride wakes up after a long coma. The baby that she carried before entering the coma is gone. The only thing on her mind is to have revenge on the assassination team that betrayed her - a team she was once part of.
The lead character, called 'The Bride,' was a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, lead by her lover 'Bill.' Upon realizing she was pregnant with Bill's child, 'The Bride' decided to escape her life as a killer. She fled to Texas, met a young man, and on the day of their wedding rehearsal was gunned down by an angry and jealous Bill (with the assistance of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad). Four years later, 'The Bride' wakes from a coma, and discovers her baby is gone. She, then, decides to seek revenge upon the five people who destroyed her life and killed her baby. The saga of Kill Bill Volume I begins.

Continuity:
When "The Bride" travels to Okinawa, she finds Honzo behind the bar in a small restaurant. At one point, aggravated at his employees slowness with regards to following his kitchen orders, Honzo takes a large knife from behind the counter and throws it behind him, where it lands perfectly into the knife holder mounted to the wall. At this point the shot changes to one that is further away and at a slightly different elevation. Honzo then reaches behind him to grasp for another knife out of that same rack, but the knife he had just thrown, however, is now lodged at a much different angle than it was just moments before.
