Zenkichi is a really refreshing character. He's a carefree adult and his actor did a really great job with all the scenes. He's a funny as hell smug bastard but he can be serious when the scene asks for seriousness.

His prison number on his collar. The candlestick design on the back of his cloak. "Do you know the true face of the guilty" "Show your gaolers that you will wear a different chain" It's all a reference to his literal "change of heart" in the novel.
