Ah. I wouldn't say the situations are similar at all, really.

I mean, literally the only two things they have in common are that they were women, and that they were beheaded. That's it. There's no other commanilty. The type of victims are different, the motives are different, and even the way they were executed happened differently (Kayo turned herself in and accepted her death gracefully, for one thing).

Not sure if this was intended to be a trivia suggestion or not, but. I don't think these have anything to do with each other in any way. Death by beheading followed by a public display of the head was not all that uncommon in pre-Meiji Japan.
