In the next scene, in the Tokyo airport terminal, we can briefly see several people carrying around swords, like they have been travelling with them. Let's not forget that fantasy plays a big role in this film, and therein people are allowed to carry their swords in air travel. And if we look closely, we will also see that the plane has special holders for the swords. These paragraphs only serve to illustrate that it is very possible for the doctor to be her father.ĭuring the shot where you see her sword, it is specifically designed to show other passenger's swords as well, to get us to think about this. ("Hollywood"-as so many movie-production-related things are attributed-has frequently been criticized for this throughout the decades of cinema.) Barring all of that, Bill would be a believable candidate if indeed the good doctor isn't the girl's father. From a casting standpoint, rarely are biologically-related characters played by blood-unrelated actors who look like they could be blood relatives. A given individual's skin, hair and eye color can even be darker or lighter at different times throughout life, usually lighter in infancy/childhood and darker in adolescence/adulthood. Vernita's daughter's complexion is no reliable indicator of parentage, as it's not unusual at all for modern Western nationals-significantly descended from black Africans who had lived in the Europe, northern Africa, the Middle East or the Americas, centuries ago, or likewise descended from the darker of indigenous tribes of the Americas-to vary in complexion across generations. The doctor could still have been the biological father (although how he got hooked up with the still-an-assassin Vernita is unknown but not entirely implausible), and it's not a plot hole that the Bride would have no idea Vernita was pregnant, since they'd been out of touch. Thus, Vernita would have to have been at least three months pregnant at the time. The Bride woke up four years and six months later, and Nikki was four years old. That said, by the timeline the movie sets up, it's actually impossible for Vernita to not have been already pregnant during the Two Pines massacre. When the Bride and Vernita are having coffee, the Bride says, "Not a goddamn fucking thing you've done in the subsequent four years, including getting knocked up, is going to change that," and then later says that it would be fair of her to kill not only Vernita but her daughter and the good doctor. The Bride also takes the keys to Buck's truck, and without those for identification, no one else might have known which car belonged to Buck. Seeing as how the truck wasn't stolen, they may not have found it necessary to check it. Not to mention, if they did check for his truck they would see that it was still there, and possibly wouldn't check inside. By the time he was found, with all the usual shock of the discovery of a double homicide, it's entirely possible they didn't get around to checking his truck by the time the Bride left. They were in the coma ward, where nurses possibly didn't check on the patients that often. Perhaps the next nurse coming in decided not to check on them for a while because the nurse had other things to do, and no one found the bloody mess in the room for over thirteen hours. It's possible that it could have been near the beginning of Buck's eight-hour (or possibly longer) shift when The Bride took him out. The film generally does not take a hard, realistic tone. No, just like we are not supposed to believe that arterial spray flows like water from busted plumbing and that a very, very old Chinese man can stand on the tip of an outstretched sword (as happens in the second volume).
