I like these chapters focused on Diagoro and his character development. This chapter was great, but I feel bad for Diagoro. The teachings he's received from his father is all he's ever known and his behavior greatly imitates Itto's as well. The woman that gave him the wallet and told him to hold onto it for her essentially hired him, so he treated it like so and did everything in his power to protect her identity. At such a young age, Diagoro was arrested and was going to receive heavy flogging for being associated with the pickpocketing woman despite doing nothing wrong. They used him to get to her, but even after she confessed, they needed him to verify her as the culprit and he wouldn't give her up even after getting flogged a couple times. What a brave and strong little boy. I wonder where Itto was? Probably better that he wasn't there since he would have killed all of them. Diagoro really handled himself well for being in such a shitty situation.
