If this story started spreading just after the war, compared with the stories of "Konjaku Monogatari Shu" (Tales of Times Now and Then collection) which was written in almost the same period, for example, 'A story TAIRA no Koreshige punished FUJIWARA no Moroto,' its savagery was distinguished.
この話が、乱の直後から伝えられたものとの想定すれば、さして年代は違わないはずの『今昔物語集』の何処を見ても、例えば「平維茂、藤原諸任を罰ちたる語」の話などと比べても、このような凄惨さは類を見ない。
