(L) Magi - Labyrinth of Magic [manga]

[aohige]

Nah.

I'm willing to bet those who openly reject this thought process is either banned from entering the 5th citizen zones, not allowed to take further curriculum, or plain expelled from the school.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Did it seem like Gunnery Sgt Myers may be a bit repelled by the whole thing though? I get the feeling they are all just not speaking up for some reason...

[Netto Azure]

I'm still wondering why Aladdin hasn't pointed out how that one girl said that she DID want to get out of that concentration camp/dank pit ala TTGL.

[aohige]

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a secret faction of wizards who doesn't agree with the racist politics of Magnostat, but aren't voicing out their opinions and staying under.

As for Myers, who knows. Hopefully it'll be revealed eventually.

[Von Himmel]

These revelations still doesn't explain why many people in that city had so many magical items though.. I think I could understand if people in higher levels to have it, but I don't understand why bandits had those things too. Considering his hatred towards the goi, why would he gave so many magical items to those gois?

Either it's a side effect of his alliance with Al Sarmen or those people in Al Sarmen was preparing another revolution by giving low level citizen some firearms.

War isn't going to start so easily. We know Aladdin dislikes war as much as Alibaba does. He's going to try talking Mogamett into reason. If it doesn't work (and most likely won't) he'll probably take Titus (and Marga) with him and go to Laem. I'm pretty sure he won't make any rushed decisions that could start a war.

[aohige]

But that would be boring.
I'd rather see Aladdin fail in attempt to moderate, and sh!t hit the fan.

I'm itching to see some blood here.
This ain't Harry Potter, it's a shounen manga, and some asswhopping needs to commence. Soon (tm).

That would be out of character for Aladdin. I'm pretty convinced It won't happen.

I think you misread what I said.
I'm not talking about Aladdin acting out of character, I'm talking about things getting out of hand beyond his control.

Just like he and Alibaba couldn't save Balbaad from Kou Empire.

This ain't Scooby Doo you know.

Okay, but moderate who? The only one that could go ballistic now is Titus, and Aladdin would know how to restrain him, specially if he unleashes his full magi powers.

I'm talking about Mogamett...

I'm talking about, Aladdin attempting to reason him, and failing, and conflict starting ANYWAYS.
Because like I said, this is a shounen manga, not Harry Potter, and war is an exciting deveopment.

But failing to reason with Mogamett won't start war. It would just keep the status quo.

You're misunderstanding. I'm not saying there won't be war. Scheherezade might decide going to war after she hears what Titus found out. Or Magamett himself might start a war at some point. He seems to be planning to attack the Kou empire, after all.

I just don't see Aladdin's actions here starting a war now.

[Kafriel]

We still don't know how Magnostat treats magi...as for Aladdin, I'm not expecting him to have a direct impact on the turn things will take, he'll most likely help Titus achieve his goal while doing something about D5. Anyway, war is inevitable at this point in the manga, people got weapons and viabl targets to turn them to - add a shady organization that promotes war and stopping this outcome gets that much harder.

Most awaited battle: Aladdin vs Myers. I don't care how, I just want to see it :P

That's where you're misundestanding what I'm saying.

I have never said Aladdin's action should START a war. Not once.
What I've been repeatedly saying is, I wish Aladdin would fail in stopping a conflict from happening, simply becuase I want to see the conflict.
I don't want case of "Aladdin convinced him! Woot happy happy joy joy cheers and roses for everyone". I want the shit to hit the fan.

Do you get what I'm saying now?

Balbaad....isn't actually doing too badly under Kou it seems. Relatively of course

But Alibaba is regretting it, and want to take it back.
It's an example of "look, this is bigger than what the protagonists can handle, they can't solve everything. Not yet anyways, and they're not gonna just solve cases like some Detective Conan script and move on. They are going to face failures."

What are we arguing anyway? I'm not saying there won't be conflicts. I'm just saying it won't happen now, specially not between Aladdin and Magnoshtat.


Later on though, yeah, I agree there will be a lot of conflict, fights, war, and all that.

That's not what I'm saying for crying out loud.

I'm saying, I don't want Sith-Dumbledore to turn soft and caring and understading and crap.
I don't want Aladdin changing him. And I want his actions to lead to a conflict. Like when he gave middle finger to Kou Empire's demands.

I want him stay a hard-ass, and have some serious crap happen to him. Soon.

Later on though, yeah, I agree there will be a lot of conflict, fights, war, and all that.

I want it sooner than "later on", Kou Empire need to advance, Laem needs to clash with Magnostat, and what not relatively soon. Perhaps after the quad-arcs going on right now. There hasn't been an exciting conflict since Balbaad FFS, we're due for one SOON damnit.

And when it happens, I don't want Magnostat to be lovey dovey peaceloving treehugging hippie wizards, I want him to be going "Eat my seventy-feet lightning spewing penis-shaped canon you goddamn filthy Gois!".

Capiche?

None of this "DAWWW I CAN SWEET TALK HITLERSTALIN-WIZARD INTO HEY LETS JUST ALL GET ALONG" anti-climatic closure.
