      You either become a demon or a wrathful spirit like an Onryo. Because according to the Buddhist Lore the Tengu are born when a person dies who is not wicked enough to go to hell but it's too vain, proud or heretical to go to heaven. As the tengu is the demonic representation of the excessive vices that the person had in life.

    Okay so, that thing about Emperor Seiwa’s lineage that Linfamy mentions at the end? There are legends (of questionable historicity) about Shinzei getting involved in that too, and the story gets even juicier than that. The Tale of the Heike states that there was a rivalry between Emperor Seiwa (formerly Korehito) and his half-brother Koretaka for the throne. Each brother’s faction summoned different Buddhist priests who were also at rivalry with each other (see Linfamy’s videos on Buddhist monks) to use their magic powers to help each brother win a sumo match to decide the throne. Seiwa/Korehito’s side summoned Eryo, a Tendai monk from Enryakuji. Koretaka’s side meanwhile summoned - you guessed it - Shinzei, a monk from the Shingon school (started by Kukai). Long story short, Eryo’s magic Buddhist superpowers were stronger and Koretaka lost, disgracing Shinzei. This is where variants of this story would claim that Shinzei became a Tengu and possessed Empress Somedono as revenge, rather than do naughty times with her first. There are a million variants of this story and most of them are folkloric rather than based in actual events, but they reflected the worries of the people at the time. Particularly this tale may not have just been a way to discredit Seiwa’s lineage (as Linfamy says), but also spread by those wishing to discredit Shinzei’s Buddhist school, Shingon Buddhism. Fun fact: from the Heian to Kamakura period portraying Buddhist monks as Tengu was a way for Buddhist schools to discredit their rivals and accuse them of being #problematic.

      Tengu are creatures with a long history, and their origin stories are incredibly fascinating and varied :) But during the Heian and Kamakura period in particular, it was believed Tengu were the spirits of fallen heretical Buddhist priests, who take revenge on the living by leading monks away from the path of the Dharma. I’m currently reading a book called “The Seven Tengu Scrolls: Evil and the Rhetoric of Legitimacy in Medieval Japanese Buddhism” which dives into this a lot, and it’s a fascinating read!

      There are at least 3 stories (sort of) in the Bible:
      Genesis 12 - Pharaoh wanted Abram's (Abraham's) wife only to discover she was already married when a plague struck as a result.
      Genesis 20 - The King of Gerar (Abimelech) also started to take her as a wife except God warned him in a dream to not do it.
      2 Samuel 11 - King David knocked up another man's wife (Uriah) & set him up to get killed when he couldn't set him up as a cuck.

    Emperor Antoku, if I remember correctly from articles that I read because of a romance virtual game that I played...*coughs coughs because not ashamed* they were surrounded by the enemy and he and his attendants jumped into the water. There was a scene in the game with enemy ships and I (MC) was in the hands of Noritsune Taira. I think he wanted me to give him the three imperial treasures. But things happened and I was saved by my love interest but he drowns himself to avoid capture. And the game is Shall We Date Ninja Destiny.

    In my Conversations With a Dragon fantasy novel I purport that the legend of the Tengu, and the confusion of its illustrations-man/bird or bird/man-is a result of Jingo-ji's sending its abbot to the sea in a sealed boat on his 60th birthday . . . a boat full of crafted treasures . . . supposedly as an offering for the "gods". In fact (according to my narrative) they're sending him out to meet with a boat from the Mayan empire. The Mayans trade emeralds, gold, and silver, for the Japanese sword blades and various other goods not sold in Mayan stores. And the old abbot (from the last event) returns by night in the same "sealed" boat, then is met and the goods snuck back up to the temple.
    The reason the temple worships a bird god and promotes the tengu myth is because there is also an embassy there, with the usual Mayan priests dressed in robes and cloaks made of-you guessed it-bird feathers.
    And lately, it turns out that the Mayans and Japanese might've known about each other through trading boats. Hehehe. Point gladly accepted.
