I don't remember half of these guys because I'm terrible with names lol.
That and they all look exactly the same, lol.
No offense meant, I know there are those of you who think the characters are easy to tell apart. Me, I think most of them look very similarly.
Don't feel too bad. I only recognized two of them. Maybe three.

I feel like I should fanboy rage at you two right now, just for the lolz, but I can't blame you. While I have no problems telling the chars apart, even I have to admit that for example Ithnan and Kouen's faces look nearly identical.

Even that is excusable. Most of those djinn we've never seen in their original forms and only know from their respective kings' djinn equips.
So even their god has a god. What?! I mean that's cool but it's such a strange premise.
^he's not confused about the silhouettes, but the possibility of Aladdin having been born like every other human being. He probably took Aladdin's role as Solomon's proxy quite literally while in fact it's more likely that that title was bestowed on him afterwards. Personally I believe that Aladdin's related by blood to either Solomon, Gyokuen or that third Magi.
That's what I was getting at: whether he was born normally or created in a similar way as Titus.

Well as it was mentioned in Episode 1 of Star Wars, there's always a bigger fish (god).
It's kind of interesting though, in the other world their god was part of the weakest race.
Enzeru, I figure I'll answer your question on the board instead of PM, since some others may want to read it too.
Basically,
As the story of Alma Toran unfold, this marks the turning point for Magi. She's now going to focus on finishing the story.
Although it pains her to say this, there will be death of several known characters, but she will work on writing the rest of the story.
….Sounds to me like we should start carving up that tombstone for ol half n' half. :ninja:
That's Ohtaka's recent blog post, isn't it? I will get hyped anyway.
There's the new cover, too.
Koumei djinn equip was my favorite of them all so volume 21 is the best yet.
The art in magi can be messy, but the covers really blow me away. Is there a Mogamett cover? Or is he too "ugly" for that?

Man i wonder who will die. I hope it doesn't go to overboard. Needless death of characters is never very good for a series

I was going to make a post after checking with you first. Didn't want to get anyone's hopes up for nothing. But thanks for taking care of that for me, blue one. Also thanks for your help.
A little follow-up question though: is it alright to assume turning point = halfway point? That's pretty important. And yeah, I've been thinking about the death part for a while now. Really can't tell who's going to kick the bucket (Ohtaka, my goddess, don't take away any Fanalis from me).

I decide to do something else first and come back to see you steal my fame post the cover, you fiend.
It looks pretty darn awesome though.

Sadly the old bishie hasn't received his own cover yet and it doesn't look like he ever will. But his manga shots are in general very impressively drawn, so there's that.

Chancellor is too moe for the world to handle him on the cover.
That's why Ohtaka had to limit Mogamett and Sana with an appearance on the inside flap of [/44445 v19_full.jpg"]volume 19](http://cdn.joentjuh.nl/manga/raw/M/Magi [mu44445).

I am afraid we will run out of tofu by the end, too.

Those volumes sure are pretty.
Now if I could buy them.
Death of several characters - kill a lot of her characters - go too overboard - what's next?
Seeing how it took just three post too blow the rumour out of proportion, I won't be surprised if in a month everybody and their households are fully convinced that no one survives the end of Magi.
That means that there is a 90% that Kouen is going to die.:sad:

That's hardly a rumour if it's said by Ohtaka herself.
I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's normal for some people to react like that. We don't know who is going to die and how many it's going to be, so people are naturally concerned that their favourite might bite the dust.

A shame. But yeah, it's true that Mogamett's art really stands out.
As for the announcement…why does she feel the need to reveal something like that? Catch me off-guard, damn it :sad:.
I always had a feeling Sinbad would die.
Meanwhile since it's already Wednesday in Japan, Adventure of Sinbad chapter 21 is out on the official website.

By exponentially inflating, original message turns into a rumour. I found it amusing how quickly it happened.
If it's Hakuryuu biting the dust, then hell, I'm all up for it!
Since she said "several" and that means more than one, then let Stupid Evil Bitch bite lots of dust too. Insert joy and happiness.
And if we must add a third person dying? Well, why not Judar?
See? Several people dying, everyone happy.

You already jinxed it, now anybody can die except those two.
No one dies in Magi, they just becomes one with the Rukh.
I suppose Sinbad is on the death list. I am going to enjoy him until his last moment. I can also imagine the finalis household of Sinbad dying. But Jafar is definitely living to take over the country.
I feel like Kogyoku will be one of the victims, as a casuality of some sort

I really don't like those predictions of yours. You're killing off way too lovable characters there (yes, even Gyokuen's iconic facial expressions are lovable in a way).
On a more serious note though- Sinbad is too valuable as a character to die just yet. Heck, even coming up with a scenario that does manage to kill him is difficult, given his might as an individual, and all those allies constantly surrounding him. I don't see him dying anytime soon; if at all.
It's not easy to make such predictions without some context. I'd at least need to know the opponent who's facing the group, or the situation they're in, in order to make an educated guess. So far really anyone could die (barring the main trio and Sin).
Feel free to give your opinion.
If you have the time, could you post your justifications for each character dying in their specific tier (except for Hakuei). Kinda sad that you give Aladdin thinner plot armor than the rest of the trio.

Why does Alladin have a higher chance of dying than Alibaba and his household?
Well, I could see Aladdin dying, at the very end of the manga: given his powers and his role, it wouldn't be surprising if, should everything go really bad against the big baddie, he decides to give up his life and perform some great magic, to literally keep the world together. After all, it's quite the standard route, already taken by many stories… and, well, it could also be what happened to Solomon, when he had to create a new world for humanity to live (though we should find it out quite soon, if this was the case).
On the contrary, I don't see Hakuryuu dying. If he is build up to become a Cassim 2.0, then this time Alibaba should manage to save both his soul and his life, somehow.
Now with justifications:
Definitely Dying
Sinbad (he is bound to fall into complete depravity sooner or later. Also, Alibaba will eventually take the mantle as the leading man which requires Sinbad to not be there. Really, just read this page, especially the 2nd paragraph)
Gyokuen (too evil to not die)
High Chance of Dying
Kouen (major antagonist. Might be the trigger for the Kou Empire to be fully allied against Al-Thamen)
Kouen's household (if Kouen goes down, they will too)
Judar (a redemption has been hinted, but that's not enough to guarantee his survival for all the awful things he has done. Remember that as a Magi, he can revive)
Masrur (without Sinbad, he doesn't have much going for him besides his mentor role to Morgiana, and we know how well mentors do in Shonen)
Medium Chance of Dying
Hakuei (Hakuryuu character development!!!)
Hakuryuu (he has been following a dangerous path, as a former hero now turned antagonist. Like Judar, I'm expecting a "redemption equals death" scenario)
Muu (his character feels a bit pointless without Scheherazade around. He also doesn't seem to have the same dynamic with Titus)
Yunan (wild card. Could go either way. Can revive anyway)
Low Chance of Dying
Aladdin (I don't think he will die, but there's a small possibility of him pulling some sort of sacrifice. Ability to revive will not make this a big deal)
Koumei (lazy, smart characters tend to have a good chance of surviving. Might replace Kouen if he dies)
Kouha (don't see any reason for him to die)
Kougyuku (has already developed a lot as character and is somewhat of a comic relief. Death seems unnecessary)
Jafar (while his character revolves a lot around Sinbad, he will most likely be needed to govern Sindria once Sinbad's gone)
Drakon (not really sure about him)
No Chance of Dying
Alibaba (obviously)
Morgiana (obviously)
Olba (just became Alibaba's household)
Toto (see Olba)
Titus (already died. Not happening again)

Whose death is going to bring the most suffering to Alibaba? Ohtaka seems to love making him suffer. I can imagine Kougyuku dying because of this.
