Re: Kill-a Bill-a Volume Two-a
I had a slightly different read on the whole Bud's Hanzo sword bit. My interpretation was that Bud told Bill that he pawned the sword as basically a "fuck you" to Bill because he knew that Bill would be horrified at the idea that Bud pawned it for $250 for chew and beer money. I also figured that even though Bud knew that his sword was priceless he wouldn't part with it because it was this highly personal and amazing gift from his brother, regardless of how quickly he could use it to change his rather shitty, self-loathing situation without expending hardly any effort and in spite of whatever unexplained situation happened to make Bud hate him so much. This made Bud one of the most interesting characters in the films for me, even though he was one of the least fleshed out because there's so much implied there.
