They are soon upon arrival out fear pampered by the propietors and escorted to the apartment room of the upper floor which oversees the pond area garden.
They are soon then delivered freshments under continous abuse from the Crazy 88 as they divolge their many dirty stories to enjoy the celebratory night.
Beatrix soon arrives and begins to inconspicuously purchase refreshments from the bar as the performing band plays.
Beatrix firstly travels upstairs to the above landing and waits outside the slide-a-way door but is heard by the hearing and battle trained Ishii who sends Gogo outside to investigate.
The Bride leaps upward onto the rafter and positions herself painfully while Gogo comes to the realization of no ones presence.
Soon Beatrix travels back downstairs and into the lavatory next to the highly chemical processed kitchen.
Beatrix then begins to relinquesh many of her combat heavy clothing and is soon alerted by the Fatale phone ring heard at the Two Pines Wedding Chapel during her savage beating and opens the door a crack to spot Sofie Fatale in japanese conversation with Bill.
Beatrix Kiddo then deals Sofie a blow to the face fist oriented and drags her back to the lobby and in fluent Japanese bestowed by Hattori Hanzo in hsi training of Beatrix calls out O-Ren reciting the Unfinished Buisness causing her, Gogo Yubari and the Crazy 88 appear on the balcony and watch as Beatrix lowers her Hattori Hanzo upon Sofie's right arm severing it and leaving her bloody wounded body upon the floor.
O-Ren then bestows the first Crazy 88 member upon her who is killed and implanted in the small jacuzzi spa.
Son after the death of a second, third, fourth and fifth member in brutallity she bestows the entire set of Crazy 88 members upon her who are killed mistakenly leading Beatrix to believe that they are finished and leaving her to ask for more subordinates to murder in her way.
Soon, Gogo challenges The Bride to a duel.
Gogo, Bingo
Gogo
Gogo Yubari, armed with a meteor hammer, declines Beatrix's offer to walk away and spare her death and begins to swing the sphere attacking Beatrix.
Beatrix struggles greatly with Gogo as she cuts and wounds her and then begins to strangle her with the meteor hammer but with the case of Gogo's weapon used against her and the use of a wooden plank with pin nails she is able to overcome wound and then murder her with a blow to the head leaving her eyes to bleed lines and her to have the plank implanted in her as she falls to the ground.
Silly, Rabbit, Trix
Beatrix then advances upon her standing spot to converse with O-Ren but hears the coming of hurrying vehicles and soon when engaged in conversation with O-Ren Ishii learns of the rest of the Crazy 88 army coming to attack and protect her.
Beatrix is circled shortly after Johnny Mo storms the Blue Leaves and and slices and swirls across the floor to clear the space before gouging out eyes, decapitating heads, dismembering legs and arms to reach the staircase.
She is then sent into a small area where the female propietor and Charlie Brown wife shuts the light off to causing a blue light effect as she kills more of the Crazy 88.
However after eliminating all but one shaky soldier, the lights are returned and she seems him nothing more then a zealous teenager, Beatrix then proceeds to spank him with the Hattori Hanzo sword telling him "This is what you get with mesing around with yakuzas". Before banishing him out before being advanced by Johnny Mo and the final Crazy 88 members.
She kills them and brutal fashion and dismembers Johnny's arm murdering him which also sends him down into the blood spa below causing the final splash. Then, she tells all the remaining Crazy 88s to go, but that they should leave their sliced off limbs behind. As Sofie leaves, Beatrix tells her to stay where she is.
Beatrix then proceeds to the apartment room and out the final sliding doors to the pond garden area.
Die Like A Samurai
Oren
Beatrix then confronts O-Ren Ishii who enquires to the impressivness of her sword and asks of its origin.
Beatrix tells it is Hattori Hanzo steel and O-Ren calls her bluff.
However Beatrix corrects with the sight of the Hattori Lion upon the blade.
O-Ren firstly in combat overpowers Beatrix severing her back cord and sending her to the snow covered ground remarking that she does not how to fight the requirments needed to hold the sword she possesses.
Beatrix then gets to her feet and calls on the final confrontation which O-Ren accepts and O-Ren is swiped across the kneecap sending blood into her white lace sandal leaving her to apologize for her ridicule of her abilities.
Beatrix and O-Ren the engage once again and finally after emerging from the picket fence O-Ren is sliced across the temple severing her scalp revealing her brain and leaving her mounted top upon the ground.
Beatrix then re-emerges into the resturant and tells the surviving Crazy 88's that they are free to escape without any attack but on the one and only condition of leaving their severed regions behind as they belong to her now except for the still active Sofie who sprawled on the floor is then dumped in the truck of a commodore and questioned to Bill and the others and told to leave with a message which explains why she was not murdered for having her involvment and simple wicked life.
After the events that took place, it is unclear what happens the House of the Blue Leaves. Because of the bloodshed that occured, it probably closed down.
