I was rewatching the Mononoke series (again), and I just noticed this.
They establish at the very beginning of the arc that Nakarai, who, like the other men, is trying to marry Princess Ruri, has been married before, but his previous wife died.
Later, it’s revealed that Nakarai is the one who “killed” Princess Ruri.
Did his wife just happen to pass away, or…?
