I'm still a little unclear on the mechanics here. Draining magoi shortens everyone's life, right, not just the kids?

I ask because otherwise this is all blatantly violating conservation of energy, and I take my manga thermodynamics very seriously. (And also because if they are in effect creating energy from nothing the system could be run in a totally non-evil way, which would kind of destroy the point of the arc.)

Not-Gandalf is probably the most interesting character in the series so far.

Man I know it's the most cliche shounen thing but I can't wait to see what Aladdin is capable of with his POWER LIMITERS off now that he actually knows magic.

Yes. Yessssss. Aladdin about to befriend the poo poo out of every motherfucker in the zip code. :black101:

I think the first chapter was intended to be a oneshot, but now that she's writing more she decided to go back to earlier in Sinbad's past. I don't expect to see the rest of them until it catches up.

The last chapter said a month and that was a month ago, so maybe next week?

Yeah, it's crazy how much this has escalated without even involving the entire main cast. I hope this ends with Morgiana showing up and kicking that thing in half.

I was going to say it almost feels like the manga's getting canceled but then I remembered it's getting another anime season, so that seems unlikely.

Well, I was at least half right about Morgiana. Might still become all right.

Sindai

I sure hope so. Morgiana's new skills get talked up for three pages before they fail to do anything? If this isn't the series rushing towards an early cancellation it's an unbelievable facsimile. :psyduck:

I hope someone translates the first 30 characters' worth of this and sends it in.

"Heh, you call that an Alibaba face? I call this...Alibaba face 2. :ssj:" - Ohtaka Shinobu

I refuse to get my hopes up. Ohtaka enjoys tormenting Alibaba far too much.

Shockingly, life under an authoritarian empire ruled by an evil witch from another dimension is not great. Who would have guessed?

I laughed out loud at the fleet of evil spiky B2 bombers. I certainly didn't expect that.

I was wondering what was going to make some of Solomon's crew turn into crazed nihilists.

I'm so confused. So Solomon's body suddenly got all old and now just kind of repeats vague religious stuff?

I hope she does. Faces aside, she wasn't a very interesting antagonist compared to pretty much any of the other heads of state.

Also remember by Shounen Law you are most vulnerable to permanent death immediately after your backstory dump.
