O-Ren Ishii Battle Theme Suite - (Kill Bill, Volume 1)

Taken from the mesmerizing title 'Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood' by Santa Esmeralda, I edited the instrumental section to reflect the parts used in the film 'Kill Bill, Volume 1' while adding some meat to it. I have been on a Kill Bill craze lately and this song stuck out to me. It really captures the final showdown between Kiddo and O-Ren.
Note: I do not own the image or music used in the video, I merely spliced and edited the audio.

[@Loli4lyf]

kill bill is just a live action revenge anime all along

[@M0M0117]

Killer theme for a great fight between two former friends. I always get the feeling that both of them were pretty sad by the turn of events that forced them to become enemies. A graphic novel about early days of the Deadly Viper squad would be pretty interesting.

[@sindelscat9336]

They actually were never friends, in facts between their fight you may see respect between the two but you also see that there is hatred.

[@M0M0117]

@@sindelscat9336 of course there is hatred, Oren killed everything Beatrix ever loved. Still the way they reacted to each-other in my opinion was far more respectful then the encounters with the other 3 Deadly Vipers. Of course this is just my opinion since we don’t know either way, but I believe they were more than just colleagues.

[@sindelscat9336]

@@M0M0117 yeah I agree, but with Bill I think that's what hit me the most because at the end you could tell that she still loved him, but with elle and Bill's brother (whom I hated) you could tell she hated both of them.

[@BerryNiceToMeetYou]

I think it was more of an indication of O-Rens heritage and tradition, it played out like a samurai showdown. Compare it with the fight scene with Elle in the trailer, she was a dirty fighter. O-Ren had honour, even though she underestimated her opponent.

[@shinsarim4902]

complete wrong interpretation dude they were never friends to begin with not even comrades they were rivals from the beginning and they were not sad fighting each other they anticipated that day to finally settle it o ren is a merciless killer and not a sad bride did u even watch the movie lol

Best quote to sum this track up: "Why do I hear boss music?"

[@zoizoi655]

White kimonos have a special meaning for the Japanese. Men wear white kimonos at birth (swaddling clothes) and at death (burial clothes), and women wear white kimonos at birth, at their first wedding, and at death. The rest are used for religious purposes, such as by Shinto priests and ascetics. When a samurai wears a white kimono, or "death outfit," it is said to be a sign that he is ready to fight with all his might. However, this seems to be a story only in movies. In reality, it is said that samurais facing death, such as those who commit seppuku (ritual suicide), wore asagi-iro kimonos. In "Kill Bill", O-Ren Ishii may have worn a white kimono to reflect the samurai's death attire.
