Because this woman was too beautiful, the bandit killed his six wives.

This anime is one episode from the Aoi Bungaku Series, depicting a man gradually falling into a world filled with desire and suffering due to his own greed.

”He was a kind man. Because every time he robbed, he only took money and never hurt the other.”
- 1 min later: “he killed the guard, and then he killed the husband.” 😂 If all it takes for your morals to crumble is a woman’s glance (however magical) I don’t think they were overly strong to begin with

[keysea]

They were 2 terrible people who made each other worse together. Their end is fitting lol

Half the comments did not pass the vibe check. Dude was a robber, kept 6 wives in poverty, killed an innocent husband, guard, HIS OWN WIVES, and kidnapped a woman.
Frankly, whether the kidnapped woman was a witch or evil is besides the point, im pretty sure youd be evil if someone killed your spouse and abuducted you.

Moral is that you shouldn't be decived by good looks? What a pathetic excuse. How about not being a possessive, greedy, shallow, murderer?

[noeinroad]

That wasn't love. That was obsession.

[Introvertsan]

Not people in the comments section acting as if the bandit was a good man in any instance. He was already wicked. He had seven wives, look at the subpar condition if he let's his wives live in. He knew he barely had anything and refused to just keep one wife it would have been easier for them to survive together. He was also robbing instead of hunting and selling those goods to people in the town. He meet a random woman and coveted her being greedy despite having several wives and willing killed the husband and guard, not out of noble intention but because he wanted to possess her as his property and liked her looks. He doesnt know her or anything about her, he should have left her back in the town she wanted to go home and him ending the lives of his wives with no issue. He never had to listen to her wicked wishes. He wanted to and had no issue to. Of course she would want to come back to the town that's where she is from. She is cruel but he is far worse because he did all of those evil actions.

6 wifes? Good lord, u dont need that much, but u dont have to fuckin kill them just because theres someone who is "better" than them 💀

[JokeRmakesPie]

Moral of the story: You had six wifes, keep em.

[Libera]

No one in the comments realized the woman in the story was an evil person from the beginning? And the mountain man fell for her manipulative tricks? Maybe this story is supposed to teach us that you shouldn’t judge poeple by their looks.

This anime is called "Aoi Bungaku Series" for anyone looking for it. I hope the guy who made this video steps everyday on a Lego for neither putting the name in the comments or the description. Cheers!

This story reminds me a lot about the ancient Chinese saying "A beautiful woman will have a tragic fate." Powerful men coveted them, killing each other and innocents in the bid to be the owner of their cages yet who gets blamed when it's time for penitence and recompense? The "Calamitous beauty" or "fox-spirit, " who enchanted the emperor! These woman who couldn't even step a single foot outside their family's backyards ended up dying the most tragic deaths, abandoned and dishonored because greedy men wouldn't leave them alone but still had the audacity to make them scapegoats to save themselves and didn't have the guts to take accountability for their actions

EXPLAINATION:

The cherry tree reveals or brings about the inner image of a person and when the mountain man took his wife there the place brought out the women's inner image which was the ghost.
She was a bitch from the start but he was blinded by her beauty, but the place opened his eyes.

Moral of story: If you're easily swayed by the words of others, you deserve whatever comes your way.

Fun fact, this series adapts different works from Japanese famous classic writers. This episode in particular is based on Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita by Sakaguchi Ango, with character design by Tite Kubo.

Yeah, Bleach's Tite Kubo.

I guess at the end the cherry blossoms. Reveal the woman's who true nature by giving her a form to match her dark heart.

[Danni_VA]

Okay is no one gonna say anything about that last little girl ALSO BEING HIS WIFE??!!?!!

[callistaolivia]

Calling the bandit a kind person after killing innocent people even his 6 wifes for this one girl and robbing them

[DefinitelyNotHidan]

The biggest simp in history, even Obito couldn't get passed his level

[ashesofhopesinabonfireofdr]
