In one version of the story, the samurai blames his wife for the rape, and she faints whilst holding a dagger, killing him. In another, the wife orders the bandit to kill the samurai

Story is about a rape; the assault is depicted on-screen, but is not particularly graphic.

In a story with multiple viewpoints, the relationship dynamics are murky. Some versions of the story skew toward infidelity.
