I haven't sacrificed more than anyone else I know. [His mother died defending him and his father from bandits. His father died defending San Angel. His cousins laid down their lives for Zapita during the Revolution. A lot of the bullfighters in his family ended up dying in the ring because they believed it was important to carry on the family tradition.
There are countless others with similar stories. At the end of the day, Manolo is really no different, and he knows for a fact that Joaquin was just as willing to give up his life for the village during their fight against Chakal.]
