Personality
Like most marines, Daigin seems to follow the belief of absolute justice. He was fearful of the possibility of a single inmate escaping Impel Down, which he believed would harm the reputation of the World Government, and the Marines. Despite this, he was able to keep a cool head and listen to reason, as he held back another Marine that was attacked by Sadi, and agreed to her request to simply guard outside of the prison while the staff handled the breakout.
Abilities and Powers
As a Commodore, Daigin has authority over the lower ranking Marines.
Weapons
Daigin wields a sword, although it is unknown how skilled he is at using it.
History
Summit War Saga
Impel Down Arc
Following the news of a mass breakout from within Impel Down, Daigin led a squad of Marines with the plan of capturing Monkey D. Luffy. However, before he could enter the prison, Chief Guard Sadi appeared through the gates and denied any requests to enter. She cited the fact that the Marines would get lost within the labyrinth design of the prison, and instead requested that Daigin and his troops simply remain outside as guards, to which he complied.[1]
Sometime later, the newly escaped inmates Crocodile, Mr. 1, Jinbe, and Buggy made their way out of the prison and used one of the doors as a raft. Daigin was confused upon seeing Jinbe's Fish-Man Jujutsu, leading to him being open to attack as the inmates touched down onto his ship. The inmates would eventually use his ship to escape to Marineford, leaving his status unknown.[5]

Trivia
- His name means "Great Silver" in Japanese.
- Daigin is one of only three characters to receive 0 votes in the World Top 100 popularity poll, alongside Charlotte Montb and Charlotte Basans.
- While any concrete information on Daigin's sword is unknown, Reuder speculates it to be at least one of the 21 Great Grade Blades. However, the accuracy of this assessment is questionable, as it's part of a report arguing that the World Top 100 poll was rigged against Daigin by a rival that also estimates that 1.4 million of Zoro's votes are due to his swords, while only 40,000 are for Zoro himself.[7]
