Anyone chosen by a djinn is a king vessel.
No, no! It was quite clearly stated being chosen by a djinn isn't what qualifies someone as a King vessel. Maybe a King candidate, but not a King vessel. You're born as a King vessel and there are more in this generation than ever previously.

Magi 246 Spoiler
! - Hakuryuu mindfucks the soldiers who came to the base by continually showing them images of their families being slaughtered by Kouen and Gyokuen for 6 days
- Hakuryuu increases the strength of his soldiers through Zagan's power
- Kouen was using Phenex's power to control Hakuryuu's anger (the "gimmick" Judar was talking about/when Kouen told Alibaba he was "inducing" Hakuryuu) towards him and Al-Thamen, which caused Hakuryuu a lot of internal suffering

- Judar teleports the new monstrous soldiers to the Kou Empire capital and uses long-distance clairvoyant magic to show the generals Hakuryuu's memories of what Gyokuen did in the past
- Gyokuen sits there smiling like a creep
Is it just me or is Hakuryuu just a spoilt brat throwing his toys out of the pram? He talks about the threat of Al-Thamen but I'm yet to hear him ever talk about the residents of the country and their future. Fair play to whoever mentioned that he's the antithesis of Alibaba in that regards.
