This piece takes us back eight years, high up in the Obolo hills on the edge of the eastern coastline. We meet Agu as a DIBIA in training. Before receiving his host tattoos of allegiance and his staff of power, Agu was a young acolyte training to become the representative of the god of wisdom and justice.

Here we see Agu in a handstand, his face in deep concentration as he works on his balance, focus, and patience. Keeping guard is his trusted ally and friend, the Agba masquerade.

This piece takes inspiration from the training arcs that are a staple in many Japanese mangas.
