Yeah THAT'S IT! I couldn't remember her name, but I can definitely remember her fight scene/death. Re: Vol 2, I can understand how one can think of it as being drawn out - especially as it's such a drastic shift from Vol 1 - but I like slower paced scenes a lot more than faster paced ones, on the whole. I guess it's just a matter of taste; for example, I could watch the Bride and Bill converse for a whole 2 hours! :P
