I thought this would be a flashback story about how the side town deserves to be angry at the main town, but it seems to me like the spirits have more reason to be angry at the criminal scum in the side town than the main town. Those side-town scum even raped and murdered one of their own and a newborn baby.

they really are less than beasts.

It may be a self-fulfilling circle. The japanese had an untouchable caste hundreds of years ago, similar to india. They were discriminated for their jobs like gravedigging, leather tanning, and general country labor. They got abused, so they lashed out, so they got abused harder, so they lashed out harder, etc. It even goes onto the present day. It's one big unending cycle, with each side racing the other to form and fuel a grudge-filled superghost first, to kill the other side.

That's why karma in Asia is very scary. These people who commited atrocities will rot in cycles of hell for a long time, the victims ended up vengeful spirits as they cannot forget their sufferings and will make sure the descendents pay the weight of the ancestors sins.

What happened to him was literally caused by the townsfolk attacking the settlement and killing people there

So far, this series has been dork-seinen cheese-spread, and nothing suggests that it will become more than dork-seinen cheese-spread.

Damn, pretty brutal.I guess the curse managed to kill of all the villagers on both sides before and hibernates until something triggered it.

I always do like the neatness of a well for a horrible curse like this. Slow, bad way to die. And the clear metaphor of like. Something being done so wrong in the groundwater.

Also worth considering, these people were playing the only game. They were being punished for not adequately destroying someone. The village wanted being outcast to be a fate worse then death. We'll be worse to you, many times over, until you make it that way.
