Was really weird having all those names change around all of a sudden, though Magnostadt doesn't sound nearly as silly as the previous. I kind of liked Laem though.

It's interesting that they're transcribing the arabic names of the various magical spells. I appreciate that they're making the extra effort.

169 I'm sure real Rome would've loved to have had gunpowder and airships for those pesky invading Germanic tribes. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 16:29 on Jan 14, 2013 |

For someone with such a respect for humanity, Lady Sheherazade is a huge jerk for forcing Titus to basically die and rejoin her consciousnesses or whatever.

He was created as a perfect puppet, given a task, and both he and his creator knew from his birth how this would end. Dehumanizing someone is easier when they're not human.

This war arc is shapin gup to be one of the best in shounen. It's easily surpasses the Big Three in that regard already.

Goddamn this arc has been incredible. This has elevated magi to my favorite weekly. The author is just nailing everything. Making both sides sympathetic rather, I really want neither side to be fighting each other, the back and forth of the war with each side introducing new elements. And now Aladdin is here to kick rear end. How is this war is going to be resolved? I think its going to end with a treaty where magic city joins the roman empire, but remains some form autonomy. That would give both sides what they want. The magic city getting the protection of the roman empire, the empire not having the magic city as a threat, and gaining their magic power. But that is just me hoping everything will go well for everyone.

It'll also be funny when Alibaba enters the fray because there's no way he's really going to fight on the behalf of Reim and thus will probably just go along with whatever Aladdin wants to do.

Oh yeah, that guy. I forgot he was on the boat with the rest of the super warriors. Kinda a random shoo-in considering all the other heavy stuff.

Speaking of Mor, I kind of wish we could get more of the omakes/extras translated... Also I guess Ohtaka Shinobu has a blog where she doodles random stuff: More here.

Algid posted:I'm wondering if the power up timer is there just for dramatic tension or if it turns out that he actually goes the whole battle without getting a significant boost from being a Magi to show that it wasn't about power levels at all. Something bad is happening to him now. It doesn't look like a powerup, but rather a more severe reaction now that he has tried serious magic with his seal off. Yamuraiha isn't nearly as knowledgeable as she originally seemed to be.

175 is out. Aladdin still has a Mu to deal with. A half-Fanalis armed with a household vessel could probably be potent enough to take Aladdin out. And there's still Mogamett. Aladdin's Magi-status aside, he's still a child in Mogamett's eyes and probably won't be swayed at all.

I actually am hoping that when the commander guy (Mu?) attacks Aladdin, we get to see a fully equipped Alibaba block the blow perfectly, and it switches over to showing how Alibaba grew instead of just Aladdin. It'd probably be the cleanest way to come up with an excuse to get him fighting.

# ? Feb 25, 2013 11:11 |

There's also the fact that Scheherazade could always intrude in the fight as well. Still, it's kind of awesome to see how Aladdin managed to demoralize an entire Army so easily.

# ? Feb 25, 2013 13:15 |

It isn't coincidental that the front line which moved so far from Alibaba is once again near to him. Right now, Aladdin still hasn't changed anything about Magnostadt. All he has done is to reinforce the idea that magicians are awesome and naturally superior to goi. He will need Alibaba's help to really end the war and change Magnostadt.
|
# ? Feb 25, 2013 14:21 |

I reckon that Magnostadt will try to bust out some black metal vessels and attempt to kill the retreating army, and that fight as well as whatever Mu is going to do will constitute the final battle.

They keep dropping more hints about Scheherazade not being a real Magi, I wouldnt be surprised if Aladdin blows away Mu's expectations because he doesnt know what a real Magi can do.
