| Awesome, epic fight. The twenty minutes went by so fast because I was absorbed into that battle. I wonder, though, if it's true that someone else was supplying magoi to Ugo. Either way, Ugo packs a powerful punch in Judal (which I was very satisfied with, seeing Judal's behavior). Looking forward to the next episode. 5/5. |
 |
| My friend was right damn what an episode. That fight was crazy, I just wish it would of continue for a few more episodes. |
| what the ... I wish A-1 would do the same with SAO, like that fight ... awesome episode, the fighting was very intense. But theres not much to discuss about since I've read the manga :P |
| I wasn't expecting Judal to get his ass handed to him. It's good to see this anime not having taken a more generic approach where Judal would've won and the good guys would've had to train and get stronger to beat him later. |
 |
| The first times we saw that Judal he seemed to use black butterflies, in the op is like that too but now he used gold ones like Aladin. If they get their power from the same source then what was all that black butterfly shit? Btw if i was there i would run and kill the guy now that he got crushed by Ugo and his defenseless. He seems too dangerous to be kept around. Maybe Morgiana should run and give him a killing kick before anyone manages to react. katsu044 said: best episode so far Judal was like big bully from grade school lol wasn't expecting him to get crushed like that but i wonder if it's true whoever was powering Ugo like that and the fact that he didn't have a head made him scarier in that last scene!. I think Ugo was moving by his own volition because Aladin wished to be friends and Ugo was acting like a friend giving his own power to help a friend instead of just acting like Djinn. |

| Judal got what he deserved. I was so pissed when he punched Aladdin made me hate him even more. I hope Ugo is okay in the next episode. This ep was great, great action and story. 5/5 |

I couldn't agree more with you ^^ I hope Ugo will survive somehow. And that his head will finally get back where it belongs. I am so falling for this anime, even though it still bothers me that '1000 Arabian Nights' is just a source of (hollowed) names, props etc. |
| Ohhh, I just love this episode. I didn't know which side should I root for, couse Judal punched Alibaba ( I was quite angry about this ), but on the other hand he was so badass..and I have weakness for character like this. Ugo-kun's berserk was really amazing - expected something like bad guy win, then quite depressing episode + training, then another fight - good guys win.. So! I'm looking forward next episode~! |

If they get their power from the same source then what was all that black butterfly shit? Alladin uses only light rukh ("good butterflies") while Judal is able to use both light and mostly Dark Rukh ("evil"butterflies), obviously as he is the antagonist he is portrayed with Dark Rukh. You can think of it almost like ...yin-yang "shadow and light," where polar opposites or seemingly contrary forces are interconnected and interdependent.

I don't remember something like that being mentioned.. Its not his wife, it is his friend Kougyoku Ren *.* EstelleBright said: ....... still waiting for Kougyoku <3 X 2! |

| Sad to say i think this series is one of the failures of the season, it had some potential but the focus on the main protagonists is mixed and confusing, foggy at times and the arabic theme is just not worthy of anime i think. Too bad for it might have been fun. I think the El Hazard series has more going for it than this one. |

So the bad guy can use good and bad butterflies? Why are the good butterflies siding with such a guy? Lots of focus on the butterflies. o_o First and foremost, Judal is a magi. Since he is magi the light rukh "butterflies" are on his side regardless if he's a good or bad person. It's not that they side with him or that he can use them. They are there for him from the start just like how they are there for Aladdin. The question that you should have here is not why he can use the light ones, but rather why is he surrounded by black ones instead. It should be explained later. |
| Finally some real action! :D |
| nice ep |
Coralira said: One of the things that really bothered me was how they handled Jamil and Fatima, they felt really shallow, it's like they just wanted to get over with them because they wren't significant to the plot. Though the thing is, the same thing with Kassim, when he first appeared he just felt like any other character of the fog troupe, and he still seems really shallow. Here is the page when Jamil debuted (which was left out in the anime):Candor said: CrisGer_San_AA said: Blame it on the series composer who decided to cram like 50 chapters in 10 episodes, an average of 5 chapters per episode. He's the guy who did the series composition for Guilty Crown, and his best work is Seikon no Qwasor (and it's still horrible, it's about a guy who gets his powers from breast milk), so something like that was expected.Sad to say i think this series is one of the failures of the season, it had some potential but the focus on the main protagonists is mixed and confusing, foggy at times and the arabic theme is just not worthy of anime i think. Too bad for it might have been fun. I think the El Hazard series has more going for it than this one. A normal pace is 2-3 chapter per episode, and even Bleach, which has one of the lowest content in a chapter, never reached that pace, then what would happen if you put 5 chapters of a series which has relatively a lot of content in its chapters compared to other shonen manga in 1 episode? This adaption is not all the bad, and besides all the really great stuff comes later .Though, because of the fast pacing the characters feel less developed. And the villains (like Fatima and Jamil) had their pasts completely skipped out which made them really shallow. Which is a little disappointing but I can understand why it's so fast paced. Since this is supposed to have less than 30 episodes.. Or so I read.Its far better than rushing the stuff that's to come. Ok, I decided to just let the trainwreck of first episodes go, but what about this episode? Here's Ugo's rage in the manga: Dunno though, maybe the manga (art,execution,pace..etc) is too great that I can't appreciate a half-assed adaptation like this one, but just the fact that people are enjoying it makes me glad people are appreciating Magi as a whole. |
| Incredible episode. It felt so good when Ugo was punishing Judal and crushing him. God, I wanted him to have a taste of his own medicine! I was wondering if Judal had his own Djinn but I guess not. Ugo was very interesting at the end, I'm very concerned about his behavior. |

 ^ Why isn't this updating... |
| That was amazing. Judal is the one dimensional jackass I always wanted to have his ass handed to him. IT WAS AWESOME. A full episode to fighting also exceeds my expectations for the show. As for the manga bickering up there: Eh, content cutting is normal. |
| Now THAT was an exciting fight! They did a good job on this episode. :D I wonder where Ugo gets all his power from. |
| :_______: |
| Great episode. I gotta say even though I absolutely hate Judal as a character, the fight is pretty amazing. The preview for ep. 11 makes me worry though. It looks like Judal is severely injured and won't be able to interfere for some time, but the mark on Aladdin's flute has also disappeared. I wonder whether Ugo only needs time to recover or whether they're gonna have to find a way to revive him somehow. Definitely gonna catch up on the manga once this series is over. From the looks of what people have been saying, this anime hasn't approached the level of the manga, and I'm already enjoying the anime quite a lot. |
| So they fought just for fun? |

| I don't understand Judal at all. I don't even understand what half the characters are doing. |
| WOOOOW AWSOME |
| Subscribe plz ^^ http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAlmeidaPT Like plz xD https://www.facebook.com/pages/Otaku-Powa/157576507666018 |
| Oh my various gods, this episode. So looks like magi can be harmed with metal vessels attacks, can't wait to see Alibaba train up and kick some ass. Also wonder how strong Sin can be with 7 of them. But yeah, Judal great character, impressive fight, and seeing Ugo losing it was almost scary. It seems Judal did a bad thing to the wrong person. What I'd really like to know if this is related to Aladdin or not. I guess it's at least connected to the dungeon they're both from, can't wait to see more. |

| What an amazing episode, I love everything in it! From the villains you love to hate like the incompetent king of Balbad and the condescending Judal who pwned them initially. Ugo crushing Judal between his palms was just goddamn sweet, I almost cried! And then Ugo, oh man don't even get me started on him, we just saw his face this episode and (*gasps*) it might be the end of him...NOOO!!! X( TT_TT |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I love and Hate Judal the same time. I hope Ugo-kun won't die |
 |
| Holy shit... what a fight. That was amazing. And it felt so good to watch Ugo crush Judal like that. Hope Ugo comes outta all this okay though =/. |
 |
| It's over already? ): It felt so short, so awesome, I was so into that fight!! |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Judal deserved that! |
 |
| Well, that fight felt like Judal is measuring length of his hole with Aladdin, his bravado was pathetic, I really couldn't stand his character. I am really not much fan of animes where enemies are trying to use bigger and bigger attacks just to brag - there was really no point for this fight. And if there was, Judal should be dead in the end, not surviving for another time when he would brag again. Pathetic! |
| Ugo is great, wow! I was feeling so upset about how Judal is blood and war thirsty. He likes hurting others, while he got upset of Alibaba's strike. I feel bad about Ugo, I hope he'll be ok :( |
| Great episode with lots of drama. Judal is one of the most instantly despicable overpowered characters I've ever seen. I was almost cheering when Ugo was kicking the hell out of him. I really don't understand why so many people "like" characters like him or Gilgamesh from Fate. Do these same people cheer on murderers or bullies at school when they're picking on other? They're either very young or very twisted to have that kind of strange moral code. |

| Wow, that episode went by in an instant.. interesting fight. So the power of friendship is also very strong in this one.. Well, it's not surprising and Judal definitely deserved that hit.. |
| judal makes an awesome psycho by Ugo just wen't into overload at the end i hope he's okay! Aladdin seemed so hopless this episode i really felt for him, great episode! |
| The action in this anime is just top notch I swear. |
 |
| I've never seen such douchebaggery like that since high school jokes from the 70s. Judal is a complete fuckass and this show has accomplished his state as antagonist fairly well. |
 |
| Holy crap, go Ugo! Beat the shit outta him! |
| Damn that was intense! Especially that ending, is that other magi really dead? Well atleast I hope he is! Lets see what's next and if Ugo will still be okey! |
 |
| That's one hell of a fight. Good thing Alibaba made a move there. I hope he'll become more badass in the future episodes. |
