Magi Discussion Thread

[Ingraman]

I don't mind him not going for the kill, but couldn't Alibaba at least have knocked Cassim down or out with the flat of his magic blade? <sigh>

I'm just getting tired of all of the manipulating villains in this show, and there's not enough Morgiana to counter them. Maybe Aladdin's story will be a little interesting?

[Buckeye]

- The king has been dethroned, and Balbaad is now a republic. Goodbye monarchy.
- It's a good thing Kougyoku doesn't have to marry that tub of lard. With no king, the slave treaty is as good as dead.
- Alibaba knows what he is getting himself into. It would be a bad idea for Kou to invade.
- And so, Balbaad is part of the Seven Seas Alliance.
- Black butterflies are gathering, and Aladdin is reacting to them. Something is up.
- Looks like Cassim is getting ready to storm the palace.

While this episode was pretty much all about politics, it was quite eventful. Hopefully, this will be the last we will see of Abhmad, but the Banker is still out for blood it looks like. And then there is something about Cassim as it looks like a battle is up and coming.

[Buckeye]

- Scrapping the monarchy is not enough according to Cassim. He wants execution and nobody will resist him with that magic.
- Aladdin is seeing Ugo's head. At least he is able to talk to him after losing total control.
- It's farewell forever, and Aladdin is going to fight back with the Wisdom of Solomon.
- No matter what, Cassim is out for blood. Gotta fight them and their new weapons.
- Alibaba has cornered Cassim, but is too soft to deliver the final blow.
- And Cassim stabs himself with all those weapons to transform into a beast of pure evil.

That Cassim is totally misguided here. His purpose of the Fog Troupe is a better life for the slum dogs, which is what Alibaba is trying to do with his declaration of democracy. But he wants to go one step further and make turn Balbadd into a communist city and is out for revenge against the royals. This was a rather flat episode here with someone who is dead set on doing the impossible rather than moving forward like what Alibaba did. And it looks like some mysterious black Rukh user is enjoying all this. Looks like Aladdin returns in the next episode with a new power, one that does not involve summoning Ugo.

Been quite a while since I last watched this.

Episode 13:

- Oh wow Morgiana in the new OP.
- ...Man, first half of the episode nearly put me to sleep. Alibaba just can't carry an episode by himself, which does not bode well for the future. But SUDDENLY MORGIANA FUCK YEAH!
- "I may not look it but I'm really powerful." Yeah, we'd kinda guessed, Morgiana.
- Bwahaha she just tosses him into the castle. Loooove love love Morgiana.
- That hopping. <3
- CANNONBALL MOSSAN! She kicks right the hell through stupid monkey dude. <3

Episode 14:

- The look of disgust on Ren's face when she realizes who her fiance is. Poor Ren.
- Well, watching Alibaba engage in diplomacy is a lot more interesting than watching him fight, which I don't care for at all. I guess seeing Ren and Sinbad helped a lot too.
- Time for Cassim to be a retard.

[something]

Episode 15:

- Ugo, please don't tentacle rape Aladdin.
- Blah blah Cassim, wish Alibaba has just chopped his head off and been done with it.

[ookamigirl]

That black monster was really something.
Honestly, I wasn't surprised that Kassim turned into that.
He was always bad, right from the start.
Always giving Alibaba trouble...
It was nice Aladdin finally showed up. About time too.
Aladdin vs Judal. I'd like to see more of that.
Pretty intense episode this time!
Lots of action.

[FUNiOP]

I really wish we didn't have to keep dealing with Cassim. At least Sinbad is awesome, and Morgiana has some nice moments as well. Alibaba has some as well, but this is all his fault for not killing him, so screw him. Now Judar and Aladdin have joined the fight with new special powers, so hopefully that will make things far more interesting.

[Ingraman]

Fairly boring episode in which not much happened. Judar's leveled up <sigh>, Aladdin's returned (with his own power up giving his forehead a nice shine), Sinbad showed his abilities even without his toys (which are heading his way now), and Morgiana showed that she's still awesome, but they're still in the same location fighting the same critter.

Shorten the fights and keep the plot moving, please!

[Buckeye]

- Cassim is out for blood as the black genie. Alibaba can't seem to kill him even if the whole city depended on it.
- And Judar is back and in control of Cassim.
- Sinbad may have given himself up to help out, but with Judar around, he is nothing more than a spectator.
- Morgiana throwing Alibaba isn't going to do much, not when the sword is broken.
- Judal isn't the only magi up on his feet again. So is Aladdin.
- Ugo may be gone, but not his power. It's called Solomon's Wisdom.

Lot of buildup going on here, and a rather underwhelming episode. At least Aladdin and Judar are back after the story shifted to being about Alibaba, Ahbmad, and Cassim. Unfortunately, Cassim is so fixated on punishing the former royals and insists on a revolt through mind control rather than trying to help Alibaba build the society that he so wanted to bring, and now it has come down to this. All because Alibaba is too wimpy and Cassim is too vengeful.
