If there are, that would make the possession a one-time-use. A strange time to use it up.

People don't need to be bad, or to hate to hurt people. Soldiers who otherwise would get along quite well will kill each other because they wear different uniforms. Sinbad knows that if Sindria's to survive, Kou and Reim will both have to change or be destroyed. Kouen doesn't even entertain the idea of peaceful coexistence. So when Sinbad saw an opening, he took it. That's all it is. It sucks it happened to a likable girl with a face and name. Well, it sucks to be on the path of an invading army or taken by slavers, too. Quote:

None of them are interested in being equals or think they can exist as equals, mostly because they're just too damn cynical. Truthfully of all the characters in the manga, she'd make a good moderator for the peace talks. She'd wipe out her hairpin, Djinn-Equip, and tell everyone to SIT THE FUCK DOWN AND GIVE PEACE A CHANCE! Alibaba's the same way, but he's being dragged down by all the political intrigue that he can't think straight anymore. Quote:

So, yeah. No matter how well they personally got along, any peace was strictly temporary. Quote:

Isn't that the same thing. If Yunan is to be believed, there can only be one king and the fate of the Metal Vessels is to fight and decide who gets the crown. And that's basically what Koen and Sinbad are doing. They have their own particular way of doing things, but both are ultimately following Solomon's script and aiming to be the one king.

And what I meant is that even if we took all the Metal Vessels out of the equation, they'd still be enemies. It's not about "fate", or some external force controlling them. They're all just acting as kings (or generals or whatever) of powerful nations do in that particular world. |

Reim hasn't expanded it's borders in 200 years. Despite waging wars with other countries, who'd violated their borders and attacked their people, Reim hasn't attempted to take any territory until the issue with Magnostadt, which was an exceptional circumstance if ever there were one. And she's not the first one to allude to a confrontation between metal vessel users. En expressed the same thoughts 60 chapters ago, saying that he did not want to fight with his brothers to bring about the one king. Quote:
As for her intelligence, she's plenty smart. She didn't understand the nonsense about Alma Toran, but neither did Alibaba when Aladdin explained it to him directly. Despite not even being expected to do anything other than marry someone, she was tutored by her Household user, Ka Koubun, and was smart enough to cut through Alibaba's bullcrap in Balbaad. Obviously, if she's given the chance, she can really impress people. Quote:

Except for the world conquering, slavery, and Al Tharmen's place in it.

Besides, it doesn't change the fact that he wants the world, and doesn't look inclined to change the world. Quote:

I think Kougyokou's development will be one of the best things to come out of the upcoming arc. Quote:

Right now the emperor of the Kou Empire is the Gyokuen, who is the leader of Al Tharmen, so I wouldn't say they're opposed. Koen has considerably political and military power but I'm not sure it's enough to confront Gyokuen just yet.

To me it is obvious that the other two must be from Reim and Magnostadt (this one is probably atm living in Sindria), from a resources mangagement point of view it would be dumb to have them getting info from only one country.
