Revenge often has a habit of getting others caught in the crossfire. People can see revenge as a sort of entitlement believing that it is a right that they alone posses and that anyone who gets in their way or happens to be in the way deserve to die just as much as the person whom they seek death upon. Thus they continue the cycle causing others to seek their death as well ensuring that the eye for an eye ends up with countless pointless casualties. In addition, once they have gotten their revenge if they have devoted their entire lives to it they will find themselves empty and unfulfilled after the initial rush of vengeance wears off. Therefore they seek to transfer their hatred to others in the hopes that eventually they will find peace or rid themselves of their pain. Revenge in this manner inevitably can lead to madness and death as it consumes or destroys everything that the person initially held dear to them. As Orochi is going to learn there is one more lesson regarding revenge that one should be aware of before engaging in it. It is said "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves" believed to have been said by Confucius. As a character played by Jet Li in the Forbidden Kingdom movie stated "Revenge has a habit of rebounding upon oneself". He sought revenge for the killing of his parents on all of Wano and a good degree of Wano if not the entire country wants him dead now.
