Yuki's family is nearly wiped out before she is born due to the machinations of a band of criminals. These criminals kidnap and brutalize her mother but leave her alive. Later her mother ends up in prison with only revenge to keep her alive. She creates an instrument for this revenge by purposefully getting pregnant. Though she dies in childbirth, she makes sure that the child will be raised as an assassin to kill the criminals who destroyed her family. Young Yuki never knows the love of a family but only killing and revenge.

"2.5. Blu-ray Meiko Kajin pelottavan kaunis hahmo kostaa vastuuntuntoisen äitinsä puolesta tämän kokemat karmeudet tullen itse siinä tehdessään vain traagisemmaksi hahmoksi. Olemassaoloon on vain yksi syy, joten mitä tapahtuu, kun tehtävä on suoritettu? Kaunista on myös elokuvan visuaalinen ilme. Yksiulotteiseksi elokuvaksi kutsuttu, jota en oikein tuollaisella päähahmolla ymmärrä. Suoraviivainen kyllä, mutta monisyisen ja traagisen sisällön sivuuttaminen on minusta kyllä ihan"

"15.2. 70-luvun pinky-klassikossa on tajuttu, että juoneltaan hyvin sarjafilmimäisestä miekkojen kalskeesta voi tehdä mielenkiintoista tyylitajuisella toteutuksella. Kostajaksi synnytetty palkkamurhaaja kiertelee ympäriinsä tappamassa äitinsä elämän pilanneet roistot, mutta hän tekee sen tyylillä. Visuaalisessa ilmeessä käytetään hyödyksi paperiseiniä, verisuihkuja, tahriintuvia vaatteita, varjoja ja sateenvarjoja niin, että niistä tulee luonnollinen osa elokuvaa. Oman roskai"

"Many connections, including; both being female revenge films; the duel in the snow covered garden; the division into chapters; the camera angle looking up at the heroine's attackers looking down at her; the animated sequence; the song "Flower of Carnage", sung by Meiko Kaji who is the star of 'Lady Snowblood', is heard in 'Vol. 1'; In the animated sequence, when O-Ren is getting her revenge, the line "Look at me closely. Do I look like someone you may have killed?" is taken directly from 'Shuray"
