If Moro is the voice of spiritual wisdom in the film, Jigo the Monk is the comical voice of human opportunism. Observes Jack Fletcher: Jigo is basically middle management. I told Miyazaki I saw him as working for a sort of Zen TRW and he nodded his head, laughing at this. Thats who Jigo is hes trying to work all sides and somehow come out ahead.
