Gabimaru’s wife, Yui, was initially believed to have been executed, but it was later revealed that she was alive and held captive to ensure Gabimaru’s cooperation with the shogunate.
In the manga series “Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku” by Yuji Kaku, Gabimaru the Hollow is a skilled ninja from the Iwagakure village. He is married to a woman named Yui, who is a central figure in his emotional backstory. Gabimaru is deeply in love with Yui and her well-being is his primary motivation throughout the story.
At the beginning of the series, Gabimaru is captured and sentenced to death for his crimes as a ninja. However, due to his immense strength and the unique abilities he possesses, all attempts to execute him fail. The shogunate then offers him a chance at a pardon if he travels to an island rumored to hold the elixir of immortality.
It is initially suggested that Yui was executed as a consequence of Gabimaru’s actions, which is a source of deep regret and sorrow for him. This belief is what drives Gabimaru to accept the dangerous mission, as he has lost his reason to return home. However, as the story progresses, it is revealed that Yui is actually alive. The shogunate had faked her execution and is holding her captive to ensure Gabimaru’s compliance with their demands. This revelation renews Gabimaru’s hope and determination to survive the perilous mission and return to Yui. Throughout the series, the relationship between Gabimaru and Yui is explored, highlighting the depth of their bond and the lengths Gabimaru will go to in order to be reunited with his wife.
