Unveiling the Mystery: Why Does Uzui Tengen Have Three Wives in Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2?
Kimetsu no Yaiba Season 2, one of the most anticipated anime series, is sparking discussions among fans. Among the captivating elements is the portrayal of Uzui Tengen and his three beautiful wives: Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru.
However, what's the reason behind Uzui Tengen having multiple wives? Episode 12 of Season 2 sheds some light on this intriguing aspect, leaving fans fascinated.
In a particular scene, Tanjiro reveals that Tengen's family practices polygamy, where one can have more than one spouse simultaneously. At the age of 15, the head of the family selects three compatible wives for their son, although there are exceptions. In Tengen's case, Suma initially took the initiative to approach him instead of being chosen by his father.
Kimetsu no Yaiba unfolds during Japan's Taisho era, spanning from 1912 to 1926. Tengen grew up in a shinobi (ninja) family. Consequently, the family's tradition became outdated and incompatible with the present. However, the anime portrays Tengen's polygamous marriage in a positive light, intriguing viewers rather than eliciting disdain.
Despite having three wives, Tengen's depiction of them is filled with respect and admiration. In Season 2, Episode 12, there's a flashback scene where Makio recalls what Tengen said before taking them to the entertainment district. He instructed them to prioritize their own lives over the mission because they are his number one priority, even above innocent civilians. This shows that despite the polygamous arrangement, Tengen deeply loves and values them.
And true to his expectations, his three wives Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru are all happy and willing to do anything for their husband, even though Tengen always wants them to consider him as the last priority. This has made their unconventional relationship cherished and respected by the audience rather than judged by conventional standards.
