Judging from the last page Arba is still alive and is going to try to take over Hakuryuu or something like that. Looks like we might get that rematch between him and Alibaba after all.
>>
>>143685488
I thought Arba could only possess the women of that family?
>>
>>143685409
It is okay to say that Aladdin is entering the Gary stu territory?
>>
>>143685577
I think it depends on the circumstances. If Arba was in a weakened state and Aladdin has not surpassed Solomon, then no. Otherwise, yes.
>>
>>143685555
She will most likely try to cause him to fall into depravity, not possess him.
Though i don't see how he will even hit Alibaba now if he gets back his djinn.
>>
>>143685832
Having him fall into depravity for a second time would be pretty annoying. Although it might serve as a way to finally bring Judar into the mix. Also didn't Morgiana tell him that if he fell into depravity she would kill him? I wonder if she will keep true to her words if that happens.
>>
>>143685577
>>143685770
No idiots. He's OP, that's all. Even Sinbad is not a Gary Stu.
>>
>>143685832
>She will most likely try to cause him to fall into depravity, not possess him.
Eh, I see two things wrong with that.

1. He already fell into depravity before. It would kind of make his effort to climb back out seem redundant if it happened again.
2. Aladdin is right next to him. We already know he can halt someone falling into depravity because he stopped it happening to Yunan.

Being addicted to breasts isn't a flaw, it's a tiny quirk that has no effect on anything. And not only is almost every character "just one person," it's the default state of being and not a flaw either.

And she has absolutely nothing to show for it. She keeps getting humiliated every time she enters a conflict. This one is the worst yet, losing to a kid who is still nowhere near the level of Solomon. At least she has the Isolation Barrier as an excuse last time.
>she is as tenacious as a tenacious rooster thats named Tenacious
Team Rocket is tenacious. That doesn't make them any more credible of a threat. The same applies here.

She was just one of many components that led to Kouen's defeat. The main player there was Hakuryuu after siding with the SSA.

Baba has only his time perception thing over him. He's no match for Haku with his plant hax nor is he in terms of combat with weapons.

Of course he wouldn't be a match for Hakuryuu when one has a Djinn and the other doesn't. That's giving one party a massive handicap. And I'm pretty sure they're about even in terms of weapon combat.

Well, arguably it's not exactly normal for older teens/adult men to be best friends with kids to begin with, so anything they do is likely to go against the norm as well. And anyway, Baba having a physically affectionate relationship with Aladdin as well as Fish doesn't mean that kind of touching isn't unusual.
>>
>>143701398
Even with a djinn he is no match. Looking at how Hakuryuu improved in terms of weapon combat with training. Takeruhiko could not keep up and he did well against Arba.
>>
>>143701492
Maybe it's not normal by your standards, but is it really unusual by Alibaba's standards? The bottom line is that Alibaba is very physically affectionate with his close male friend, too, therefore his touching of fishie is not necessarily a sign of flirting. The initial anon with the snuggling comment seems to have been someone else, but this whole thing started by them implying that Alibaba touches Kougyoku with romantic intent.
>>
>>143701607
>Even with a djinn he is no match.
You can't say that when we haven't seen Baba even use a Djinn post-timeskip yet.
>Takeruhiko could not keep up
He doesn't have the time perception ability that Baba does, although keeping up with Arba is impressive.
>>
>>143701764
My point is that, only his time perception gives him a feeble chance. Alibaba has not trained nor used a djinns for years. How could he be comparable to Hakuryuu in terms of abilities? They were pretty much equals before, Hakuryuu is much stronger than his old self.
>>
>>143700674
In 1vs1 without djinn Baba will steamroll him the fuck out. Even assimilated household vessel carriers can't do shit against his speed.
With their djinn equips Baba still has a crushing advantage even though his djinn is trash compared to Haku.
>>
>>143701909
Well, it's not as if Baba didn't get stronger after the timeskip. I doubt either him or Hakuryuu could have taken out a dungeon monster with nothing but their bare hands three years prior. That being said, my main point is that we really have to wait until we see him use a Djinn again before we can ascertain his strength in comparison to Hakuryuu's, and whether or not he can use a Djinn in conjunction with his time ability. If it turns out he can use the two in tandem, then I'd give the edge to Baba. If not, then probably Hakuryuu.
>>
I'm surprised they saved Hakuei already.

You mean Zagan? Because that has an elemental disadvantage to Amon.
>>
>>143702433
That's fine. I'm just surprised. I mean, It's been a couple of years in the manga, but for us how many chapters has spend Arba in Hakuei's body, 30? 40? Not a lot.

>>143702518
Zagan compensates it with sheer utility though. Amon is really boring in comparison and his extreme magic looks really unimpressive.
>>
>>143702550
Does it have to be a long time, though? I know many expected Arba to possess Hakuei until the finale, but just because that is the unwritten genre rule, doesn't mean that Ohtaka has to follow it. Hakuei being freed earlier opens some new possibilities, so I welcome it.
>>
>>143702433
That way she can build up Hakuei and Aladdin.
>>
>>143702779
Who knows? I'd be amused if it became canon in the end. Either way, I do hope there will be some breather chapter that allows the characters to catch up with each other, and that Hakuei will be part of it.

Of course not. Again, I'm not complaining, I'm just surprised because of the unwritten rule. I was expecting an Arba vs Hakuryuu at the end of the manga.

It seemed pretty impressive to me during his fight with Hakuryuu. You can cut off any means of escape and surround your opponent with fire.

It may be boring but it's very practical. The only problem Amon has is that it's basically a less powerful version of Astaroth.

>>143701759
Looking at all of Baba's friendships, yes, I would say he's more hands-on with Fish than normal. He and Aladdin were very physically affectionate in early chapters, but that's hardly been the case since Magnostadt, almost like Aladdin grew out of it. Baba's never been like that around guys his own age, nor did he really touch girls with that much and with that kind of tenderness -except with he thought Morg was his girlfriend.
And no one's saying he's actually flirting with Fish, just pointing out that it's not hard to interpret the way he touched/held her so much in the last arc as chemistry or attraction based on societal norms.

>>143703033
To be fair, in Magnostadt he had barely any downtime with Aladdin. They were mostly fighting the war.

I mainly assumed that anon was implying that Alibaba was hitting on Kougyoku because they made the snuggling comment in reply to me saying that Alibaba has no initiative with girls.

Maybe I should have clarified by saying that Alibaba has up until now never actively searched for a girlfriend himself. He was always very reactive.

- In the colosseum girls came to him because he was a gladiator but he couldn't respond due to the ape.

-Claims that Toto is his gf but never actually made any attempt to date her when he had the chance (before the lie).

- Only goes for Mor when Toto and Olba say she loves him.

Basically, most of his behavior so far seems to imply that his vision of romance is some girl approaching him and confessing her love or showing interest. Which is why I said that he has no initiative with girls despite being affectionate with Kougyoku: whenever things have been explicitly about dating and gfs, Alibaba has been very passive.

I don't know, maybe future chapters will reveal that his physical affection for Kougyoku was a sign of unnoticed romantic feelings. But his track record so far is that he waits for the romance to come to him. Maybe those 100 years have changed him in that regard, maybe not.

If anything, Kougyoku would relate to her being brainwashed and advancing someone else's agenda that way.
>>
>>143703618
They had no downtime in Magnostadt, but afterwards they had a few months to just hang out, but they're not all that affectionate.
And I agree with you, Baba has no initiative with girls in a romantic sense. But I do find it interesting that Fish is the only girl he's ever pursued any kind of a relationship with. Morgiana tracked him down and tagged along after he freed her, and it was just coincidental he ended up in close quarters with Toto and could get to know her. But he actively chose to befriend Kougyoku, and now he's been busting his ass for her for months on end --which is more than he's done for just about anyone. Combined with the unusually frequent touching, it almost seems a little strange that he HASN'T expressed a desire to be with her romantically. Only time will tell, I guess.

It'll definitely be Mor. He's probably still in love with her and the bad magic will make him try and kill her. Then he'll snap out of it and see a terrified and crying Mor. Then Hakuryuu will run away because no one will be safe around him.

>>143704695
I think among all his friendships with girls Alibaba's relationship with Kougyoku is definitely the best, but I don't think he pursed this friendship in the past as much as you think.

- (unofficial) start of their friendship: Alibaba steps on flowers in Sindria, Kougyoku gets mad because she was picking them, Alibaba gives her a flower crown as an apology. Dunno if that counts as strong pursuing or just Alibaba being nice because he really accidentally destroyed something someone else cares about.

- next meeting: Kougyoku visits him to show off that now she can make good flower crowns by herself. Later she faints due to Zepar and Alibaba stays with her until she wakes up. She tells him her backstory, her feelings for Sindbad and after hearing his story, asks Alibaba to be her friend.

- Magnostadt: meet on the battlefield, Kougyoku immediately approaches him, touches his shoulder and introduces him as her friend.

- Balbadd: meet accidentally, Kougyoku is super happy, takes his hands, says he can tell her anything and that she would do anything for him etc.etc.

So before the time skip, I'd say that Kougyoku was the one pursing this relationship strongly, with Alibaba mainly responding to her affection rather than being very active himself. Not saying he doesn't like her, just that in the past, she did more to push their friendship forward.

However, I agree that currently, their relationship is more about Alibaba actively pushing it forward (encouraging her, staying to help, etc.).
He did say that he expected that by helping Kou, Aladdin would notice him and come out by himself, but it's true that Alibaba is still making a big effort for Kougyoku's sake, bigger than what he did in the past, where she was more active while he was often busy with his own issues and couldn't do as much for her.

But yeah, let's see how Ohtaka spins the romance in this final arc.
>>
>>143705454
>terrified and crying Mor

Yeah, thats not happening, she is borderline autistic. That would be completely out of character for her. That last time I remember her crying was when she saw Alibaba's dead body. If Hakuryuu does attack her, she will absolutely fight back. She straight up said so herself, that if he goes edgy again she would stop him this time.
>>
>>143705656
Actually, she was shocked by Baba's corpse, fish is the one who cried.

But I agree that Mor would fight back against Haku and maybe falsely assume that he had gone edgy again (rather than being controlled).

Your right, she did freak out though. But I don't think that Hakuryuu will be possessed or turn evil again. It's the final arc, and for that to repeat itself would be a bit disappointing. If anything, I think this is the perfect opportunity to reintroduce Judar.
>>
>>143700674
In a Djinnless fight, Baba would mop the floor with Hakuryuu. He has no counter whatsoever to Baba's Za Warudo (that's what I'm gonna call it until Ohtaka gives it a proper name).

With Djinn involved, I guess it would go to Hakuryuu for now, as his fight with Arba shows how he's markedly improved his Djinn abilities since killing Baba. However, Baba could really be on some OP shit if he can use a Djinn Equip in conjunction with Za Warudo. Although he probably needs to step up from Amon.

>>143706076
Yeah that part bothered me a bit. Haku ended up growing back his limbs and becoming Emperor. So Alibaba's death was literally for nothing. I guess it was the push he needed to get him out of his edge phase but still, everyone was a little too forgiving.
>>
>>143706076
Aladdin forgave Mogamett and said that he loves everyone in the magi world. He never tries to kill anyone, no matter how bad they are, if he can help it.

Morg hates slavers but she left Fatima alive after freeing all his slaves. During the pirate arc, she also had more sympathy for the pirate kids than the others because as she herself said, she did lots of evil things to please Jamil without ever resisting. So she is also fairly forgiving, partially out of guilt.

There is absolutely no evidence to back this up. I don't care about your ships, but if your going to make a claim like that then back it up with actual evidence. Your personal headcanon doesn't count. Just because they share some panels together doesn't mean that they are in a romantic relationship. Take off your shipping goggles.

The problem is that you fall from grace and thus Arba and her cronies can use you for their plans, if they weren't there it wouldn't be a problem.

It definitely is a theme. Alibaba and but particularly Aladdin talk more than once about everyone working together and putting aside their hate. Some other characters have done it in certain situations, too (Hakuei, Kougyoku).

>>143706592
He had his head fucked with by a huge bitch, his mom was every bit as evil as he thought but no one was doing anything about it, had his head fucked with by his cousin who never told him shit making it easy for Haku to turn on him, retarded Djinn fucks with his and Judars head, and Judar was the one person willing to support him through it all.

Honestly, I'd be happy with just a punch from Baba, just to say: "That's for being such a massive faggot" and then they can move on.
>>
>>143706928
Alibaba was the one trying to manipulate Haku to see things his way by using Haku's feelings.

After three people had already done that very thing to him. It's almost like Alibaba wanted to be killed.
>>
>>143706928
It would have been also more interesting if Alibaba was hostile towards Judar in Balbadd. Al-Thamen caused Cassim's death and Judar was directly involved in the fight in Balbadd, it would have made sense for Baba to hate him.

Baba even had that Judar PTSD flashback in the pirate arc.
>>
>>143705587
While admittedly it wasn't an incredible effort, he did visibly pursue his friendship with Kougyoku more than we've seen him do for any other girls. His relationship with her was pretty chilly when they met in Sindria, and Baba easily could've waved off stepping on a few clover blossoms with a simple "sorry about that." But he went out of his way to make her a flower crown even when she was being bitchy to him, and he stuck around to teach her how to make one herself. He was the one to reach out to her initially, which was why she came back later to show him her progress.
And don't forget that when Kougyoku fainted, Baba waited by her bedside for HOURS. Compare that to when Morgiana was unconscious in an earlier chapter, and he left her to have a great time at a party. And as for Fish infodumping her backstory, etc., there were multiple perspective jumps to Ja'far during that scene, implying Baba and Fish really were having a back-and-forth conversation. There was no reason for Ohtaka to rehash everything the readers knew about him, so most of it was skipped over. And he was shown acting pretty buddy-buddy with her when she left, too, and not like he was just tolerating being dragged into a friendship.
Lastly, Baba was under huge amounts of stress in Magnostadt and Balbadd, while Kougyoku wasn't, so it's understandable she was the only one being super friendly. And while she may have put forth more of an effort than he did before this last arc, it's still the hardest we've ever seen him pursue a relationship with a girl overall.
>>
>>143707052
That was not his intention, Haku perceived it that way, but Alibaba wanted him to stop his edgy crusade and pursue something else that won't end up with toons of innocents killed.

We go over this every thread. It was implied they're together and there's nothing that explicitly contradicts it. It hasn't been outright discussed yet and the only times we see them are when they're with friends and thus unlikely to act like a couple.

There wasn't nothingness. Alibaba even interacted with Toran mage spirits since he was on the Dark Continent.

>>143707219
True, he did have a reason. Those 100 years probably really dulled any grudge he might have felt. Still, it would have been interesting to see him give Judar a hard time, especially since he had power over him on the dark continent.

But from a plotting perspective, Ohtaka needed Baba to protect Judar and work with him, so the 100 years was a convent way to get there fast.

We've seen them together for multiple chapters now. Not a single character has said anything about their supposed relationship. Unless your going to tell me that their dating in secret now. Besides I doubt Hakuryuu would go after Morgiana after killing the guy she told him she liked. Especially since said guy was his friend too. And Morgiana has show zero romantic interest in him either. Actually, he hasn't shown interest in her since he got turned down either.

I think what the other anon is trying to say that Toto's comment could be revealed to be some misunderstanding on her part. HakuMor could be real but right now we can't be sure.

Just remember the whole "Alibaba pretends that Toto is his girlfriend"-plot:

Alibaba says at the party that he is dating Toto now. The others see Toto in the distance, looking at Baba, blushing and saying his name. They assume it's real.

Then it's revealed, that during that moment, Toto was piss-drunk and staring at Baba and muttering his name because she was seeing him double.

If Ohtaka has trolled like this once, she could troll like this again.
>>
>>143707739
Most Magi characters aren't Japanese, but the series is still written by a Japanese person who defaults to Japanese societal norms. Messing around with girls at parties or clubs is more acceptable, but it's not usually something you do in front of people.
>>
>>143707721
>His Monet Statues
>>
>>143708069
But she did write Toto and Olba as very lovey-dovy in public and Sheba and Solomon had those moments, too. They were both official couples.

Of course Ohtaka's culture will color her writing at times, but her comments and the world of Magi shows that she does go out of her way to depict characters with very different cultures and values and that does extend to relationships.

I'm not even saying that you are definitely wrong, but there is also nothing showing that you are definitely right.

It could be a misunderstanding, but again, it's all we've got to go on. And this is different from the Toto/Garda thing and even the initial Morgiana thing in that it's way more slow and subtle. It's a tiny hint that was dropped for the readers well in advance of the actual reveal, not something for Alibaba to react to and melt down over like before. Nothing has come of it so far, and it certainly wasn't cleared up within a chapter or two. It could still be trolling, of course, but it just doesn't fit the previous pattern.
