Ah but she's a real magi after all. It's just that her real body is too old so she has to use cloned bodies.

This proves the magi does age like a normal person. This means Yunan is probably as young as he looks (unless he has a secret to keep himself young, but that's unlikely).


It looks like Mogamett might just go and use his super weapon of doom (whatever it is). He must be pissed as hell. 161 second-level magicians and 89 first-level magicians died, and his little magical country was saved by a goi of all people.

So Scheherazade is Darth Sidious?

Spoiler for Magi 177:

Huh, so it looks like that theory about lolimagi not being a "real" magi was true after all.... to some extent. At the very least, NOW she's willing to negotiate. Too bad she didn't consider that before the last dozen of so chapters of bloody conflict.


But now it seems Aladdin will finally focus on dealing with Dumblemort. But something occurred to me: If Scheherazade is currently in Magnostadt, then wouldn't that pretty much leave Reim as a sitting duck for a Kou invastion? I mean, I know she still has those 2 other generals who are dungeon-conquerors back at her country, but they may not be enough......

maybe her real body = back there too

Spoiler for Lady Scher:

Question suddenly pop up: If she had been making clone body of herself for 200 years..Why choose that form ? Shouldn't she prefer a more grown-up body ? Or maybe she is actually want to be loli forever ?

Spoiler for Magi 177:

Well yeah, but apparently her original body is too old and decrepit to be of much use, which was why she cloned herself in the first place. In fact, if Kou DOES invade Reim, it wouldn't be difficult for me to imagine that they could hold the original body hostage in exchange for control of the country.....

Spoiler for 177 spoiler:

Maybe she could do some last minute soul switching to escape?

But Yunan...

Spoiler:

hasn't shown to physically age one bit in the past 30 years of Magi timeline.

He looked the same as he does, when Sinbad was newborn, 14 years old and 30 years old.

Then again, Shezy managed to live 280 years, so it's possible Magi only ages one year every 4 years or something like that.

I think the fact that

Spoiler:

lolimagi is only the 'consciousness' of the real grannymagi implies that you can't simply 'transfer' the wholesomeness of a magi onto a another body.

The implications so far quite evidently hints that lolimagi cannot do what a real magi can, in terms of rukh manipulation and all that jazz.

So even if Schezy could make her 'mind' immortal, her powers as a magi would likely die with her old body.

[shmaster]

From the way Scheherazade speaks, that Yunan has seen the vision of the annihilation of the past era, and Scheherazade herself has heard that from Yunan....

And how reckless of her to start this war knowing the magicians are the trigger to the end of the world.

It is reckless, but she probably thought it was a better option than letting Magnoshtad be conquered by the Kou empire.

Spoiler for 177:

I never thought of it that way, good point, maybe a scenario where sche is forced to choose between keeping her "mind" or her magi powers is more plausible?

Although, without any other info about her body swapping abilities we can't really say anything for sure.

[BladeEntity]

All caught up in about 3 days... I think the best thing about this series so far has been the characters with such a wide variety. And Morgiana is a personal favourite.

Chapter is out.

Aladdin and Alibaba interaction is great and from the looks of it, Scheherazade enjoys it quite a bit. Maybe they remind her of how she was in her younger years with her possible (deceased) king candidate?
Aladdin standing on his toes when comparing height and remarks the only thing that changd from before was Alibaba's ahoge.

Mu didn't realise that Alibaba was a metal vessel user and vice versa, guess in the Colosseum they fought with normal swords. Still need explanation in how Alibaba managed to defend Aladdin, the distance is not something he could have run in less than one minute, especially on this sandy ground.

And exactly how do magi age? Yunan hasn't physically changed from now and Sindbad's childhood and while her physical body is 268 years old, she can't move it any more, making it clear she prolongs her 'life' somehow with magic.

Mogamett is clearly sad and shocked how 250 magicians died in the war, if I had to guess he was only expecting Gois to die in the war. Maybe this is enough to make him pull out his big guns and commit genocide in Reim? Wouldn't be surprising if he had some sort of magical satellite weapon.

Now that we know a bit more about Scheherazade, I feel the author might kill her off, either her sacrificing herself to protect Reim from Kou/Al Sarmen or them finding and killing her real body.

[marvelB]

So like I've been saying in the spoiler tags, I think it's possible that Kou will not only invade Reim in lolimagi's absence, but also hold her original body hostage. Maybe those two generals she left behind could hold those guys off for a while, but I doubt they will win (especially since Kou has their own magi + Al Sarmen at their side).


But I think the more pressing issue at the moment is how Mogamett will react to all of the sacrifices of his fellow mages? It looks like now's the time for him to unearth whatever secret weapon he was hiding.....

[shalala]

I like how Alibaba and Aladdin got back to catching up with each other while on the boat. Seeing how everyone has mentioned that the current lolimagi is a clone of the granny magi I think it would be safe to say that her powers as a magi are not that strong given that she is unable to use the metal vessel eyes but is able to use her Clairvoyance magoi. Still I wonder how she was able to get to the battle field so quickly?

Either way Matal doesn't seem to happy and all the injuryed/died magicians may well end up having their magoi drained and be used as fuel for the dark dajin along with the goi. But doubt Matal would use magicians for his dark djinn as to me it would go against his whole loving magicians and keeping them safe.

[Randrak42]

I don't care that she's a granny...Lolimagi was so cute this chapter :|

[marvelB]

BTW, I was also amused at Aladdin pointing out that Alibaba's hair spike grew longer.

Maybe, whatever's hiding in Magnostadt, she wanted a magi (even a crippled one) other than Judal to handle it.

That'd explain why she's willing to talk now. Before, she didn't know Aladdin was there.

What eyes?
