Go Aladdin!

Nice to see him and Alibaba reunite though. It's definitely been awhile even in all this war madness. They're still getting along so well :>
Well they both have some different ideologies and I'm not surprised by that. Decent episode I guess.

He changed form, that means he's serious. Alibaba, finally!! Magi girl also appeared to have a talk. She's actually enjoying the friend talk because Alibaba is like the very first solder she chose. She's like Kirito magician, just having a body of replacement. 268 years old? That scenery that happened was from another world, that dark group did. After talking about the truth, Alibaba and even magi "girl" agree to help out. There's a problem with the real magi girl, though.

The principle doesn't stop...

Aladdin actually revealed a lot more about Alma Toran than I thought. The talk was well adapted and Scherazade actually appears more loli-like when she smiles.

After waiting for so long, was not disappointed with this episode. Loved the interactions between Aladdin and Alibaba and titus' reaction when they were just casually talking in front of Scheherazade - priceless. I wonder if they can wrap season 2 before ep 25/26 if not, i most definetely hope for a season 3 XD

I'll just skip the part where I criticize A-1 for ruining most of the war, and will instead comment on the well-done adaption of the later part of the episode. As usual, the OST and (most) seiyuu were the reason I could enjoy the episode.

On a related note- the manga is currently telling Alma Toran's story. If you're interested, feel free to check it out.

This was the best Magi episode in a while. It's at its best when it focuses on the interactions of the characters. Glad to see Alibaba and Aladdin reunited, I've missed their silly dynamic.

I guessed that Magnoshutatt wouldn't just drop the war issue like that, and I'm glad the show is being realistic about it. It's obvious that the war is most definitely not over.

Alibaba came in a the last second and saved Aladdin and the city. woot!

It is so relaxing to see Alibaba and Aladdin go back and forth in comedy.

The Kou empire is almost to the battlefield with 20,000 soldiers. I wonder what everyone will do next in the efforts to stop the Kou empire?

Great episode!!!

The Director is still not satisfied. Leam retreated and he still wants to kill them. Sigh.....

The Kou empire is the most dangerous. They have to many Magic Vessel users, I can't wait to see Alibaba's full equip mode.

I can't believe Lady Scheherazade was really that old though, I thought Magi were immortal. It's pretty sad that Titus only has like a month to live. When Lady Scheherazade dies will another Magi be created?

Also that story Aladdin told was crazy, so he really is from another world. And what exactly are those giant blue people? And why the hell are they always naked?

Muu's power was pretty lame. I mean just 1 minute? And Alibaba stopped it without even having to do much of anything. That's a pretty useless vessel against other strong people.

Magi are never immortal, they born and die, afterward a new Magi will appear. Since they are magicians, it won't be surprising if they know how to live longer than normal human but they still can die anyway.

--------------------

Muu's Djinn Equip scene sure is short, its like he really in that mode for 1 minute! I remember the scene to be more epic in the manga, especially the part where Alibaba blocked Muu's attack.

Did you see the tomboy Scheherazade when she was young? She and her King's candidate were really like Aladdin and Alibaba.

Of course, Kou Empire have to butt in right now. The war is far from over.

I fell that Mu vs Aladdin wasn't intense enough, the fight is suppose to be short though it needed more destruction and visual effects.

Alibaba and Aladdin reunion was great, the boat scene was well done. Aladdin finally got to talk about the problems that burden him for so long, ever since he got Solomon's wisdom in Balbadd.

I liked Scheherazade's flashback about her first king. Her motherly love for Leam is strong but she also realizes how her ideology made her blind and the war has to end. Mogamett however has other plans.

Good ep.

First half was meh but Muu's equip looked pretty BA! Loved his Barrier piercing jump. Animation was really weird at some parts though. Nice to see Alibaba ^^

2nd half however was really good. Loved Alibaba and Aladdin's interactions on the boat (esp the got taller part :D) and Scheherazade's smiles and giggles :3 So damn cute <3
Really, Scheherazade this ep was so lovable. How she was enjoying the duo's interactions and how she apologized to Titus ;_; Really emotional moment there :)
Loved her flashback about the first king. She looked really adorable and having so much fun :D

Interesting to listen to Aladdin talking about Alma Toran since the manga has just started that arc in detail. Can't wait to see :D

And ofc, Kou empire had to ruin the moment XD Well they'll make things much more epic. Mogamett is ready to kick some butt XD

Great episode! I wanted to cry when I saw a new episode had came out. I've waited so long!! The reunion of Alibaba and Aladdin was great! I just truly love seeing those two together and wish they could share more of their stories about their adventures but now is not the time unfortunately with the Kou empire on their way. I was wondering what happened with them. But it really does kind of suck now that they were finally at a cease fire then here comes more drama.

Mu vs Aladdin fight was short lived. Alibaba to the rescue!
Those two reuniting, conversing.. put a smile on Scheherazade's face :)
The boat scene was done very well.
Aladdin finally revealed the problems that were troubling him. Finally all out in the open.
Scheherazade's flashback about the first king she had chosen.They're just like Aladdin and Alibaba right now. And also about her 'motherly love' for Leam and her ideals.. all of it made her go blind. Realising the war has to stop.. :D
Mogamett has his eyes set on destroying Leam and Kou, oh boy.
Kou empire is on the move.. and Scheherazade and Titus both don't have much time left.. :(

but nope, lackluster. ;(

I think he actually killed the Instructor with the beard in the manga too along with dozens of other magicians.

I'm not mad though, the animation was above average despite being a minute long. The boat scenes were really nice, and it was way more dramatic than the manga.

This was a great backstory + reunion + heart to heart episode, but a dull action one. Mu's long awaited Djinn Equip was kinda wasted, but we know he's going to take that form again in the fight against Kou (as spoiled in the opening).

Too bad the animation quality hasn't improved much, I just hope the last episodes will return to the much better quality as showcased in the first episodes.

If we follow the week-count, and assuming a new anime will take over Magi timeslot in April (as many titles have done before), then it's highly likely this will end at episode 25 as well. If you count the manga chapter, it will fit the end of the Magnostadt arc anyway.

Ok Im probably a little late but now it all makes sense. Scheherazade is a Magi of the previous generation so thats why even though shes the oldest Magi, Yunan was the Magi who raised the 1st Dungeon like 16 years ago if my timeline is correct. And Scheherazade's dying is why Aladdin was brought into the world despite the law of 3 Magi's at once.

Though I knew it from the start, this episode really revealed that the Fanalis really are different from regular humans.

It was mentioned that Mu could only use his djinn equip for a minute because fanalis have a lower magoi supply then other humans.

And does anyone know if this symbol on the sword is exclusive to metal vessels?

If not it may be a possible plot hole because Yunan raised the first dungeon and Sinbad was the first person to clear a dungeon so how would Scheherazade's first king candidate have a metal vessel?

Djinns usually chooses the person with the largest amount of Magoi, but it's not the only criteria.

Also I thought everyone knew Fanalis have low magoi. Morgiana almost died when she used her household vessel.
