(L) Magi - Labyrinth of Magic [manga]

[Key Board]

161 raw out

Spoiler:

Titus brings up the little girl as an example of non mages that are not losers.

It seems Dumbledore is going to put the little girl through a test to determine if she's really like those other low class non magicians or not

Still.. what if the little girl turns out to have mage potential?

Would that just prove Dumbledore's point?

[aohige]

Well, he sure gave a much more convincing speech this time rather than "GOIS BAD GOIS NO HUMAN GOIS BE ANIMALS" rant from last week.

But he's still a Dumberdouche.

Even Moganett's ideal is similar to Zionism: He's trying to attract all the world's magicians to his country so magicians will not be harmed and discriminated anymore.

Compare him with Magneto would be more accurate )

I totally agree that Dumberdork's stance is more like an extreme spin Zionism, but making that parallel could incite a lot of complaints among the sensitive.

I checked out the raw myself (thankfully, there's already a translation script out, as well):

Spoiler for chapter 161:

Hoo boy, Dumblemort's words are already beginning to take effect. Looks like there's some friction among the students. And yeah, I wonder what he intends to do with that little girl. Frankly, I can't see it being anything good. If anything, Moga's actions next chapter could even spark a civil war even sooner than I thought......

[Randrak42]

So...I finally got around to reading through all 160 chapters in one go...I have no idea why I dropped this manga in the first place (probably just forgot about it) but I'm seriously hooked now.

Anyway...yea Dumblemort only has a calm and gentle aura because he truly believes what he is doing is the right thing and that it is for the good of humanity and whatnot...BS but whatever, he'll get a dose of Magi tot he face eventually.

But one thing that stuck with me since early on in the series and still hasn't gotten out of my mind is how LITTLE Sinbad can be trusted. He's a cool and nice guy, but he has shown some sly moves (as he puts it) recently that did not sit well with me (mainly the way he took advantage of the princess). I fear that at some point in the future the Aladdin is gonna have some problems with this guy.

And...lol at Hakuryuu turning into Sasuke...

Spoiler:

Not at all. If he really wanted both of them at his side as a magicians, he would've.. you know, save her by using magic or something. Also it's not like Malga's personality was that corrupted compared to the gois shown in this chapter. Who knows, she might've go up to 4th district.

[Randrak42]

Spoiler for 161:

I personally believe anything Marga says or does will be twisted by the magicians and will end up sparking some bad things which will lead to Aladdin leaving the country.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Seriously...I'm really behind when it comes to raw hunting....

anyway,

Spoiler for ...:

Dumbodouche's deflecting of the topic is blinding

"The Goi allowed me to cause the uprising that swept me to power and anyway I don't oppress them. They're many of them above ground after all. FOR A BETTER WORLD MAN!, FOR A BETTER WORLD!" Yeah but the underground bio power plant is still there regardless.

Sooth the wound in Titus' heart he says yet he's the one who's most guilty of that...

Magnoshtat's going to be ripped in two any moment now...it's amazing it didn't happen sooner. Malga, I hope she survives whatever that creepy old freak has in store for her...

And...lol at Hakuryuu turning into Sasuke...

Hakuryuu's an annoying idiot...seriously....Morgianna really deserves better than him...


As for Sinbad....I really like to see how he matches up with queen bitch Gyoukuen

In that case....it may come down to Scheherazade in the end. Titus is still there after all.

[Kioras]

My prediction is a little different.

Spoiler:

Mogammet Will look into it, ans slightly change his view to allow ways for those who refuse or do not sink into debauchery and depravity to escape the pit, to climb there ways out. Of course those who refuse to try and better themselves will stay down in the pit.

However, when he is thinking about changing things, and how to do so in the future there will be an uprising instigated by al-sarmen so that Magnoshutatt can be absorbed into the Kou empire, under Gyoukuen's influence.

Thus, before things change, he dies before realizing or redeeming himself slightly. At most he might die in a way to let some of the more reasonable mages escape.

I vote for this one.

Sounds good, maybe Aladdin&co will escape to Laem empire and meet up with Alibaba?

Edit: 161 is out, I think Marga won't be able to say a thing in front of Mogammet (nervous), with him saying Gois exist to be ruled by superior magicians. Titus will snap and attack Mogammet, after that they'll try to escape from Hogwarts.
Student opinions are split in two, I guess the faction that approves of Hogwarts stay, while the ones that don't will leave like Yamu did.

[Grey]

Haha, that bit where the first kodor students gathered together to discuss the lecture and ethics reminded me of university. Not bad. The mangaka is sneaky with Mogamett because his country does seem to have improved the standard of living compared to before. Temperature control, food, living space, and health care in return for magoi that the non-mages can't even use? I can see why some of them would want to stay there. That's probably an unheard of luxury for the world's level of socio-political and technological development.

But the pit of death and head counts by the plant whip guy weren't so hot. And "kill escapers and rebels and everyone near them."

I wonder if Mogamett will look into healing Marga's health defect. That's what I'm betting on.
But maybe he's seeing if she's sharp enough or can do work that lets her into a higher level district.

BTW, I'm kinda wondering if there will turn out to be any vessel users/dungeon conquerors among the elite mages? I know that they pride themselves as having a means to defend themselves in a fashion that's unique compared to the Goi who mainly rely on vessel weapons, but I still wouldn't put it past for at least some of them to seek a little extra boost from a djinn. At the very least, I can see people like Myers (who has a strong body despite being a mage) being vessel users.....

Well, remember what Yamu said, Djinn are magicians as well and thus their spells could cause a bad reaction and backfire. If I'm not mistaken, Ugo and Aladdin had no problem since they used the same kind of magic (and Ugo was probably doing something to aid Aladdin). I kinda like the concept of, Goi use Metal Vessels while Magicians use their own spells.

You know what...a sudden image poped into my mind a few minutes ago of Dumblemort doing something to Marga only to have Aladdin snap, remove the gem from his arm and just destroy Dumblemort...it will never happen but still...it's a fun thought.

And I wonder if we'll ever see Aladdin raise a dungeon.

I thought Magician cannot be dungeon conquer?

[Randrak42]

They can, they just can't use Metal Vessels effectively because of the Djinn magic interfering with their own.

[marvelB]

If that's true, I probably missed that fact while I marathoned the chapters. Otherwise, I don't see any reason why they COULDN'T conquer them.... I'd wager that it would depend on how compatible the mage and djinn are with each other (though after reading Randrak's post, I really have to look back at the chapter where the relationship between mages and djinn are explained.....).

Sorry guys, but I find Hakuryuu a LOT more likeable than Sasuke despite them both being similar "avenger" type characters. For one thing, I actually like that he had the balls to confess to Mor the way he did, and more importantly..... I find his hissy fits to be a heck of a lot more entertaining than Sasuke's by far!

[RRW]

I cannot find Exact chapter but Yumehara said that Magician cannot be Djin user since their magic will be incompatible or something like that.

Well so far Djin user is Goi. Alladin once have Ugo but is not his djin (I suspect solomon)

Oh yea, definitely 100 times better than Sasuke...it's just that his Emo Avenger look and that fact that he seemed to consider getting Judal's help...kinda reminded me of Sasuke.

[Kazu-kun]

I don't mind that he confessed, but the way he did it.... I just hate people who force themselves on others. Even if it was just a kiss, you just don't do that. Besides, Mor still bears the psychological trauma from her time as a slave. You don't want to be all forceful with a girl like that.

[Ghanw]

Despite the fact i read all the chapters so far, i cant tell who does mor like and the topic under romance is not heavliy empazised that much so far, but is there going to be any in the future?
