The way Ugo got dealt with was a bit bullshit honestly. I don't mind Sinbad coming back in the sense that it is just his Rukh and so he is basically a ghost now. I mean, it was established that Arba could do that using puppet bodies so why not Sinbad? I also don't mind David being the Magi to Sinbad. Better than such a hyped up villain becoming a jellyfish. But what I don't get is how David suddenly flipped-flopped from just using Sinbad to suddenly worshiping him. For a guy who was king for so many years and came back from the dead in order to become God he sure just passed it over without any arguing. That's poor writing.

This ending has been put in a juicer.
-
I liked it a lot.

WTF,seriously…i mean SERIOUSLY WTF WITH YOU OHTAKA??!!!
I am now cringing at the thought of what may happen to Aladdin and Alibaba by the end of the manga,what kind of final messiah the duo have to become..... -

There are bigger problems than David. Essentially, it seems like Sinbad never really planned anything, but his Djinn were so loyal they clung to his Rukh. It's a testament to his quality as a person and a leader but it doesn't change the fact that he stumbled into godhood, more or less.
Which brings us to Ugo suddenly becoming a random mook succeptible to shitty illusions as opposed to an overgod from last couple of chapters. What the fuck happened in the meantime? Where is his power?
As for David, it's character development. A shitty one.
David is a shallow character. His past and origins of his current persona are unknown. You can't properly explain him by adding one panel of him as a child.
At least show the horrors he had to go through while growing up or something.And who the hell can even begin to predict what Arba's role in that clusterfuck is going to be?
Glad Judar is back, at least.
-
Not really sure what to think of this. I appreciate the general idea and the ramifications of godhood being discussed and evaluated, but the execution feels very sloppy and rushed.
The whole situation with Ugo should've taken several chapters more, just throwing all of this at me in such a small amount of chapters packed to the brim with dialog and big revelations is ultimately very jarring.
David not becoming the main antagonist and all is fine, but not like this. I do like however that he's Sinbad's Magi now, that may take his character into an interesting direction. That's the problem though right, the ideas are fine, but how we've got to this point is very shoddy.
Shame, considering that this arc started very promising and was pretty decent until the midpoint… -
Hmm, i can notice the factor of the singularity and the playword with God between the lines. Specially the latter, nobody wants a god but a king. The Singularity's charisma is what i can infer to explain why everybody is getting along with Sinbad and i understand it, the world itself noticed when he was born. Ugo's been completely lonely since ever and only Solomon took him under his wing, so the act of being stupid and miserable to find confort in Solomon's arms is understandable. But David… is the same with Arba, a bad villain ending in a position where his reasons were not deep enough to philosofize about them.
He thought about 'why magicians exist?' and 'why not take the job of Il Ilah?' He worked eons to achieve it. He acomplished it! inside a lesser world but did it. Ohtaka writes he understood that everything was pre-ordained and Sinbad took his chance thanks to that and his charisma, i get it for the plot but he was again a mere pawn leaving a bad taste to the reader.The plot is going well but certainly Ohtaka doesn't put much effort in her villains. Now as i predicted it, the world's showdown between Sinbad Vs Alibaba comes now. David chose Sinbad; Aladdin, Judar, Yunan (somebody kill him) and Titus choose Alibaba. What will Arba choose? and will the rest of the Djinns have to choose too!? Shitstorm for sure.
The 120-1 of Sinbad are out as well, Parthevia's democracy is going at good pace. Specially when it will look wonderful for Sinbad, hiding anything bad.

Chapter 326 Korean scanlation.

! Mor dumped Alibaba?!:wassat:
-
! I feel there might be some Sinbad trickery going on here. Messing with the flow of fate and controlling destiny to his will. That sort of shit.
-
So now Sinbad is a ghost and a "god". I suppose Alladin is going to get Alibaba to visit him.
Which brings us to Ugo suddenly becoming a random mook succeptible to shitty illusions as opposed to an over god from last couple of chapters. What the fuck happened in the meantime? Where is his power?
I suppose that since they are also from alma Torran and also with great power, Ugo can't just overpower them.

16 chars of Ugo broke him?

A wild Judar has appeared

Chap is out. http://www.mangamint.com/magi-326
So, after becoming a God and the dictator of destiny and all that, Sinbad's first order of business is….. messing with Alibaba's personal life. Lol.

http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Magi/Night-326?id=327395
Sinbad confirmed for Griffifth 2.0, I guess Alibaba will turn into Guts soon and Morg will be Casca?
Alibabas suffering will never end..
-
fucking really? of everything he could have done he decides to fuck with Morgibaba? Just go to hell Sinbad…
I love how Ugo and Solomon are just like "We're done with this sh**" lol
-
So Sinbad is alive? The I really think the last 2-3 chapters should have been off-screen. I thought we had to see to understand why Sinbad had to be in his rukh form from now on but he just returned as if nothing happened.
So God Sinbad needs to be a dick to Alibaba. Meh

I doubt Sinbad limited his power to making Mor leave Alibaba. I'd think it's just one of many changes he made in order to control the fate of the world. Assuming it was deliberate and not just a side effect of the changes he made to the world.
But if it was deliberate, it's probably because he perceives Alibaba as a real threat to his grand design. But if he's that powerful, why not just change Alibaba? Is he somehow immune, being a candidate and all?
Anyway, can't say I like this development much. Smells like unnecessary padding.
-
Are you sure this isn't just another big misunderstanding?
-
Even if it is, you can't discount the new troll god, successor to the neet god.
-
Chapter 327 Korean scanlation.
-
This would have been so much more interesting if we didn't know what the hell happened in Ugo's palace.
-
! So Sinbad went after people's free will?
! I imagine once the 'spell' is undone the whole world will come crashing down on him. Distorting facts, misinformation, even coercion are all less evil than what it appears he is doing. -
! Sinbad managed to change everyone's Rukh, except for some like Aladdin, Alibaba and such. Maybe Magi and their chosen king's are safe from having their Rukh's altered?
-
Considering that they are all metal vesel users, thus king candidates, I think not.

Chosen kings as in, the ones chosen by the magi. Hakuryuu –> Judar, Aladdin --> Alibaba. Not every single metal vessel user.

Is it just me or does sense scans Magi stuff not work anymore?
-
Chapter 328 Japanese raw.

I just gonna post the SenseScans chapter below so everyone can read.
:D

Sinbad King of Dicks.
Or better God of?Enviado do meu iPad usando Tapatalk
-
Ohtaka's point of view for the Fallen is really good. Sinbad looks like a hero to me, in the world of arrogance, where Aladdin lives there too.
Alibaba holds the answer and i hope Mother Dragon will help him in his new adventure.
-
Dammit, Sinbad, why can't you be a normal villain? :ninja:
Hope Alibaba has something good to say.
-
I can't disagree with Sinbad which is pretty impressive for the villain. Although regarding Alibaba why would he be an unbiased source in this? Presumably, he is under the same effect as everyone else, right? Or will his unusual Rukh that was fused with Cassim's cause him to be out of the loop like Aladdin is?
-
Next chapter, Dagda finally appears.

Maybe it is because he is a King's Chosen like Hakuryuu.
-

As in a new Djinn? Did I miss something?
Maybe it is because he is a King's Chosen like Hakuryuu.
Either that or Alibaba's adventure in the other world granted him some kind of an immunity. We'll know once we see Hakuryuu I guess. I'm betting it's being a chosen, though. Magi are unaffected so their chosen candidates are probably unaffected by extension.
-
Tidus is affected, so is not that.
-
As in a new Djinn? Did I miss something?
Just a reference to SMT IV: Apocalypse that the current plot is reminding me strongly.
@maxterdexter:Tidus is affected, so is not that.
Is that how we are calling Titus around here?
-
I see, never played it.
Yeah, keep forgetting Titus is still a Magi for some reason.
Perhaps Aladdin is what makes a difference, being Solomon's son and all. Like I said, we need to see if Judar and Haku are affected but if they were, I imagine we'd already see them by now. Fact their appearances post change are being saved for later is a good indicator.
There's also a chance Sinbad left them unchanged on purpose. Perhaps there needs to be an opposition to a popular opinion just to keep things balanced in the world, or something.
-
That's what I think, that he left them unchanged to see if he can convince them, both as a boon to them and as a test for himself and his world.
-
See, this is why I was always against the Sinbad spin-off. He was always a shit character, now he's just proving it with his "you either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain" antics.

Chapter 329 Korean scanlation.

Chapter 329 English scanlation.

At least this time there is no Zen-Oh.
-
Well, glad to see he hadn't gone completely bonkers.
Guess they can't let him kill anyone else and take them for a joyride across dimensions. But what can they even do.
Someone mentioned dragon on the last page. Maybe, something?
-
So, he's like me when got the infinite money cheat for StarCraft/sims/whatever.
He's currently mad with power.
-
It ruins the joy pretty quick so there's really nothing he could do but try to rise to constantly greater challenges.
Well, he's been doing that his whole life anyway, so it makes a lot of sense.
-
The trick is just switch places with the title, huh?
The intro was excellent, Alibaba took the best diplomatic way to deal with God. Sadly, Sinbad became a villain in this very chapter, but the idea of fusing worlds is interesting, i'd wonder how is that executable.
Solomon should have put some locks into his dimension order, i can't put a specific and logical explanation to why Aladdin is not brainwashed besides being his son. -
Well if Alibaba really is unaffected because he "died" once, Judar should be the same.
-

Well Alibaba ended up in that weird place where he was just pure consciousness for decades and ended with weird abilities and wisdom. Judar just got pushed away really far. Basically Alibaba died (body and spirit separated), Judar didn't(he just got sent away).
