! Looks like talk no jutsu worked. So they need to find a less likely to be swayed "core" for their next medium aka more beam spamming chapters.
-
A finished script on a Friday already? Makes it easier to resist the urge then since the chapter should be out earlier as well.

Chapter 197?
Ohtaka! Oh my god, Ohtaka!

If I see one single more post making a stupid comparison with, be Narulol, be Bleargh, I swear I'm going apeshit.
Now then…
! Guess who's back? (Though just as a spirit)
! Ugo-kun! -

finally i have read all the chapter released until now.
i must admit is a pretty good series…good art,ok characters and interesting story..a little too sentimental sometimes,but still good.
but seeing all this reunion of characters...is this the manga ending? -
finally i have read all the chapter released until now.
i must admit is a pretty good series…good art,ok characters and interesting story..a little too sentimental sometimes,but still good.
but seeing all this reunion of characters...is this the manga ending?Thanks to sherezade being about to die, and the fact that there's at least one more magi to be revealed (other world's 3rd), that we don't know shit about the other world, that all of the dungeon capturers are here and they don't get to 30 dijins (out of 72) and that we have been exploring a part of the world about the size of just the mediterranean sea, there are posibilities of expansion of the plot.
Also, the bad guys are still flat "mhahahaa evil!!!", considering how deep Cassim and Dark Dumbledore (Mohamet?) were, and the slim surface of the Evil Empress that we have just percived, there's bound to be more. As long as she (the author) doesn't get into beam spam mode again, ever (maybe for the true final battle, and better surrounded by the emotional and worldbuilding factors) I'll be enjoying it.
Al tarmen are the villians
Alma Toran is the other world.I have issues with pairs of words with the same initials.

I was going to reply with just these too but everything you said is true too.
Atm they aren't technically battling Al Tarmen they are battling against the Magician Country. And like Dex said the other world is soemthing that can be expanded on.
Could Sinbad being half fallen and the fact his intentions are a mystery still also be added to the list?
-
yeah,i know that there are plot points yet to be explained,but every chapter now someone shows up (now even judal with mr sasuke n.2),and i heard that there is a spin off in the making,so maybe some of those will be left for the spin off (like how sinbad has part white and part black rukh)

The chapter is out! http://sense-scans.com/
This is probably my favourite chapter since 185. With the right music, that was beautiful.

I don't see a new chapter

Aah, that had the typical Magi feeling to it.~

Ah there it is!
Ugo-kun!!! <3 so happy he is back again. That was a good chapter.
-
damn it that chapter got me choked up
-
Very good chapter. It's exactly the kind of wrap up I wanted, along with a whole lot more. The ending in particular made me a very happy as well, Not for Ugo himself, but Titus(unlike alot of people here, I actually really like the guy… and would have really wanted him to go against his fate). Glad to see he still exists in some shape or or form... as funny as the form is. The Chancellor's final words were also more along the lines of what I wanted too.
Now it's on to developments. I'm curious to see what kind of future the Magicians have, especially considering there were so many countries were around to witness The Medium. Will they rebuild? Will the country be under rule by someone else? If so, who? What are the chances of everyone in Level 5 getting used to a life outside being Magoi Fuel(or will most of them continue doing so in moderation for the sakes of magic research?)? So many questions I have!
-
Maybe I missed something, but Mogamett's reversal on his core philosophy seemed kinda sudden. And did he say that all this time he really genuinely wanted to help the Goi? If so, I call bullshit.
Oh well, I'm glad things are finally getting resolved at least (and that there apparently is hope for those in the black rukh).
-
I got the feeling that mogamett's warning about not submitting yourselves to another person because they are powerful/charismatic could also be referring to Sinbad and his role in the future. There have been many examples foreshadowing the possibility of Sinbad becoming an antagonist later in the story and I think this is another one.

I agree.
also,if the author objectiive was to show that his vision was wrong,well she didn't do a good job.
In fact,in magi's world it's true that magicians are an "illuminated" kind,we didn't see a single magician that showed the same deficiencies the "goi" shown..if they really are equal,no proof has been showed that suggest that,so no real reason for the old man to make this 180 in his core philosophy -

After being trapped inside that medium with all the souls he caused to fall into depravity Mogamett realized his wrongdoings; or rather, his fundamentally flawed view. Add to that that Titus saved him a couple chapters ago and has been by his side ever since. I'd call that change of heart anything but sudden.
Him talking about 'realizing the Goi's wishes' was most likely referring to the time before he started to despise them. After losing everything precious to him he started to build that wall- to use his words- and slowly but steadily that wall turned into an obstacle Mogamett couldn't overcome by himself, and something that took the help of others to get rid of.Personally I was satisfied with the end Mogamett met. He did realize his mistakes, and he did know about the possibility of returning his own soul to the Great White Flow of Rukh, but ultimately chose to stay with the other cursed souls; just like I had wished for it to be.

And keep in mind that the term Goi is a very broad one and refers to non-magicians, which, technically speaking, Alibaba and Mor are part of.
-
the problem ,for me, is that the magicians were righteous from beginning to end,they didn't shown any of the "fallacies" the goi shown
so,from a practical point of view,mogamett was entirely right.He was just using the inferior beings for the good of the superior ones just like we use animals to feed us or do work for us,with the only difference here being that humans have a better "cognition" of their status..but as a matter of fact,they were pretty ok with their status and their lives,pretty much like domestic animals.Ok,whey didn't want to die,and they were probably not ok about being use to produce black rukh that way… but livestock doesn't want to die too,but we still use him and kill him to obtain what it is necessary for us.

Righteous from the beginning? Were they righteous when they slaughtered hundreds of citizens during the Mustasim revolt? When they enslaved hundreds of innocent human beings only to use them as a fucking energy source? Was that righteous? It's beyond me how ANYONE can view the magicians as superior beings, or even go as far as to justify their atrocious acts. Both sides- humans and magicians- did a bunch of crap they should be held responsible for, and neither is superior to the other.
Didn't you learn anything during this arc? Didn't you get any of the messages the author sent us? Christ. -

Yeah.

Yup.
Exactly what I was thinking in that scene. -

don't misunderstand..i'm not talking about my point of view here.
if we are atalking about the real world and my real opinion,i'm the first to think that everyone is equal and racism is bullshit.i'm talking from the point of view of Mogamett,an entirely practical point of view that it is basically "the goi have earthly desires that make them dangerous for themselves and others,magician instead are moved only by pure love for reasearch and truth,and the desire to protect the one they love"
this point makes sense if you are not talking about ethics (something that mogamett didn't consider just as we don't consider "unethical" to kill livestock for food,or to immobilize ducks to feed them all their lives just to take their livers and serve them as a delicacy).
So mogamett didn't have any reason to rethink his philosophy,because everything happened till that moment was the proof that his vision was right..we never saw a magician driven from thirst of power,or just depending from someone else,or just accept a life without any kind of prospective just to be able to do anything they wanted..magician were "righteous" from beginning to end,in fact,showing to be the "superior" beings.you could say that the black rukh of the ones fallen into depravity convinced him that he was doing a terrible thing to them..but the fact is..i think he already knew,i knew exactly what he was doing,so why the sudden change of heart?

as aladdin said,there was no evil in mogamett actions,he wasn't drive from revenge,thirst of power,or anything alike,just by the convinction that a world ruled by mages would be the greater good.i'm not saying he was right to do what he did in general,but that starting from his point of view,he didn't received any proof that his philosophy was wrong

Out of love for research? In order to protect what they love?
What about the Mustasim revolt?
What about all the unnecessary murdering?
What about the Level 5 district?
What about treating human beings as trash and disposing of them like it's nothing?You can say that Mogamett was a special case since he literally viewed Goi as insects, but what about the rest? The magicians that blindly followed and accepted Mogamett's teachings? They don't have the excuse of being unable to differentiate between humans and insects. They knew very well that humans were living a few hundred meters underground and that their life forces were treated as fuel for their "love for the truth and research". They knew and yet scenes like this one happened. You want to call them superior? Even innocent? While being aware of their behavior? Gimme a fucking break.
you could say that the black rukh of the ones fallen into depravity convinced him that he was doing a terrible thing to them..but the fact is..i think he already knew,i knew exactly what he was doing,so why the sudden change of heart?
How the hell would he know? How would insects be able to tell him to fuck off or that he's a fucking lunatic? He had no means of knowing. Even upon being told by others he wasn't able to view Goi differently. No, it took his death, Titus' help and meeting with all the souls he cursed in order to make him realize his mistakes. It sent Mogamett back to his roots, to his youth, and upon remembering his initial love for the Goi, he decided to sacrifice his soul as well. To somehow try atoning for his sins (as if it'd be enough).
It's like I'm talking to Mogamett himself here.

all the other magicians shared his same ideas,that was kinda the point of the entire "ideology reformation" class.His enormous charisma and the fact that what he said made actually sense in magi's world made his philosophy pretty damn convincing and contagious..even people who were not ok with his idea of goi as livestock,still said that what he said had truth in it.

more than insect for him goi were animals,domestic animals to be precise,he could still understand what they say so i don't see why he should have been able to understand that he was doing horrible things to them..we know when we are hurting animals (and we can't even talk to them!)..some of us (me included) care about something like that,some people don't,because they just don't care,because it's their job,or in mogamett case,their duty,because the safety of the entire city came first.
It's like I'm talking to Mogamett himself here.
counting that i'm trying to explain his point of view and why it doesn't really makes sense his 180 degree turn on his beliefs,i think it actually made this a good thing:happy:

After being trapped inside that medium with all the souls he caused to fall into depravity Mogamett realized his wrongdoings; or rather, his fundamentally flawed view.
How did that make him realize his view was flawed? I gather that he was being verbally tormented by those that he had sentenced to depravity, but why should he care? This is the guy who literally saw non-magicians as animals.
Add to that that Titus saved him a couple chapters ago and has been by his side ever since. I'd call that change of heart anything but sudden.
It would've been great if Ohtaka had shown that rather than more of the endless Medium fight.

You know, this is getting boring for me. I keep repeating the same stuff- and even show you proof- and all you do is switch the topic or give some dumb reasons like "they need a place to live, that's why they murdered and enslaved countless citizens of Mustasim". The initial problem was that you called the magicians righteous and superior in their behavior. Which is wrong; plain wrong. If you fail to see that I can't help you.
@Nobodyman:How did that make him realize his view was flawed? I gather that he was being verbally tormented by those that he had sentenced to depravity, but why should he care? This is the guy who literally saw non-magicians as animals.
I assume things are different once one's soul/Rukh is laid bare and has no other choice but to listen to the cursed ones' lamentations. And being exposed to that kind of situation could only have led to Mogamett going crazy or him realizing his wrongdoings.

Assuming is nice. The author showing it is much better.
-
Y'all just butthurt that Magi sucks lately.
lol
But seriously, Enzeru, Maju and Nobodyman are making good points here. It does seem a bit sudden that Mogamett is changing his whole philosophy. There have been a couple scenes where we have dialogue from him since his fall to depravity, but none of them have had enough impact (in my opinion) to give any meaning to his change of heart.
We can assume and imagine all the interaction we want beyond what the author has drawn for us, but isn't that subject to our own vantage point? I get that you love Magi and the story and all that, but doesn't any of the last like… 20 chapters... seem a bit off to you?
-
Good to have a real magi chapter after all this time. I might try to comment the whole thing later but damn did Sinbad gaining half a panel made me laugh.
-
I really had no problem with Mogamett's 180. People change, especially when they're forced to think about their actions with the guilt of all the people they killed surrounding them. Plus, he was confronted by Titus who "saved" him and made him realise what he was doing.
@Nobodyman: Showing Mogamett in an empty white space for over 10 chapters just sitting there thinking is hardly going to be fun. It's better to see the conclusion of it and have his resolution explained to us. I'll admit I might've preferred that over the medium fight, but I don't think Ohtaka predicted that fight's unpopularity.
-
Good chapter to end this fight.
Overall, it was a really good arc. I must be in the minority because I liked the medium fight (more than the beginning of the war between Reim and the magicians).
Now I hope that after this arc is over we have flashbacks detailling Alibaba and Mor's seperate adventures that were skipped. -

you kinda missed the point,but alright,last thing i want is boring you
-
After the long pit-stop fighting the medium, seems we are back with the story. That's good. Now we'd need another arc like the Sindria one, right after the Balbadd arc, so that we can see more characters' interaction (and growth) and less fights, for the time being; then we can have the next "save-the-world" arc.
-
It's kinda interesting proposition here, this is basically "why should those doomed to spend eternity in hell not have a chance for redemption?" type question. Like finding a way to restore souls in hell a second chance to enter heaven.

That depends on how exactly it is executed. Just pulling them out of Hell like you say and put them into Heaven would seem a little too much if done poorly. If there are drawbacks to it, or if certain conditions have to be met, and if it's more or less of limited usage, then I can see it work.
@fana:Good chapter to end this fight.

Now I hope that after this arc is over we have flashbacks detailling Alibaba and Mor's seperate adventures that were skipped.I did enjoy the medium fight as well (not as much as the Reim war, though), but even I have to agree that some scenes were not necessary. I get what Ohtaka was trying to go for there- making the medium seem all overpowered and whatnot- but a little less would've worked better imo.

It's up to the reader whether or not they can accept the 'sudden' change of heart. For some it may seem to be out of nowhere, while others, like myself, are fine with it. You do have to read in between the lines in order to get everything- which normally shouldn't be the case, I know- but the necessary puzzle pieces are there. You only have to put them together.
The last 20 chapters seem off? Not in my book. The scene shifted from the end of the war to the Kou empire trying to invade Magnostadt, which led to Mogamett releasing his black djinn. What followed afterwards, the arrival of Kouen and the fight against the black djinn was interesting to me. Only when all the djinn merged into one big blog, did it become a little strange. Personally I would've preferred for the single black djinn to stay and to only reveal the medium entity at the end of the manga, but alas…
@Nobodyman:Assuming is nice. The author showing it is much better.
It most certainly is. But Ohtaka did give us a bunch of stuff to work with. Like the Titus-Marga conversation, the confrontation with Mogamett, the mini flashbacks showing the latter's past and further illustrating his motives, Titus sacrificing himself for Mogamett's sake, and lastly, the latest chapter. It's not like the 180 is that surprising when looking at what we were shown. Like I mentioned above, you do have to more or less rely on context to make it all perfectly work, but that's a thing everybody has to decide themselves whether to do or not.
-
Nice to see Ugo again.
Now a more down to earth arc would be good especialy after such events but first comes the after battle and its repurcussions. -
@Nobodyman: Showing Mogamett in an empty white space for over 10 chapters just sitting there thinking is hardly going to be fun.
It can be if the author knows what they're doing. And it didn't necessarily have to be a white room.
It's kinda interesting proposition here, this is basically "why should those doomed to spend eternity in hell not have a chance for redemption?" type question. Like finding a way to restore souls in hell a second chance to enter heaven.
Of course, it's kind of messed up by the fact that these people were forced into hell, not by their own choice.
-
I like what the author is trying to say with this chapter and arc, but I agree that Mogamett's change felt kind of unnatural. Why did he come to these conclusions? We didn't see his thought process behind it. I guess you could assume it was because he spent time with the depraved souls, but we didn't really see much of that.. I feel like it works theme-wise, but not character-wise, if that makes sense. The one thing I wanted from this is for the brought up theme to be resloved in an satisfying way, I sort of got that, so in my eyes overall it was a good arc, Mogamett's breakdown was probably my favorite moment. Unless there's something unexpected next chapter that futher drags this, I'm happy it's over because despite some interesting twists, the fighting ended up feeling rather plain and dragged, action's really not Magi's strong point. Oh and this just emphasizes the plothole the anime caused.
-
Good chapter. I'm hoping we get some more dungeon conquering arcs soon since it looks like the world is going to need more metal vessels users for the next time the medium comes.
-
Alibaba needs to get his hands on another household vessel asap, seriously, he's nothing but a freshman next to Sinbad and Kouen.
-
I think Mogamett should win the character tournament
I like how Mogamett is circumventing the If You're Ugly You Don't Get Redeemed ruleAlso wonder how Hakuryuu and Judal will contribute to the arc wrap up
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Re Mogamett's change of heart, I thought it was super clear that Titus's sacrifice is what got to him and made him realize how foolish he was. Not to mention, his ideology was based on the notion of his inherent righteous superiority, which as Gyokuen said made him a weak Medium core. The ideal core being an absolutely heartless person who has no empathy and is totally absorbed with wrapping the world with resentment and decay. Mogamett did horrible things but always with the idea of progress for magicians, so he wasn't cursing his fate as much as the ideal core would
The ideal core would be like that egg apostle from Berserk who wished to sacrifice "the world"
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
By the way I hope Gyokuen doesn't just shuffle off and at least has some pointed words for Aladdin, I really like her. I want to see her put the screws on Aladdin
-
Man that last chapter is why Ohtaka is a good mangaka. This entire arc, everyone was so fixated on the battle, no one thought about the most fundamental question concerning falling into depravity: If you can fall, can you also one day rise again and be redeemed? What does that mean for Sinbad? Is there a reason he remains half fallen? I agree with others here who believe Mogamett's last words pertained to a real danger Sinbad poses in the future. Moreover, it could also be aimed at Kou/Al-Thamen since the former is also strong and the latter is strong and made up of magicians.
Scheherazed's death was a subtle hint to the nature of magi. When Magi die, they end up with Ugo, possibly indicating that he's the Djinn responsible for the magi - and therefore kept separately from the other Djinn. He could be the one who chooses who becomes a magi on behalf of Solomon and the rukh in the new world.
The best thing, though, is that with the completion of this arc, the animation team can animate the entire thing without worrying about catching up - based on the new subtitle for this season (Kingdom of Magic), seems pretty clear it's all they're going to cover. Hopefully they won't make up their own bs like they did in the last season.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I believe that when Mogamett was younger he actually loved everyone and not just magicians. The Mogamett that has changed or "turned a 180" really didn't just turn a 180. He had time to think about his actions and how he lead so many innocent lives to depravity. It was already foreshadowed that Mogamett was a decent human being. It was just the way magicians were treated during his time of service to the goi and the fact that the goi didn't respect what the magicians did that lead him to be who he was at the start of the arc.

The manga obviously. It's part of a popularity poll and the more votes Sinbad's Adventures get, the better for the manga. Or just read sense-scans' release post which explains it even better+there's a guide on how to vote correctly.
