Kassim is such a bitch, he just wants to kill people and start a war.
He's not there for the people of the slums, he's there to satisfy himself.
He'd better die in the next episode, that'll make me happy.

In the end Kassim was no different from the King. He would have just been a tyrant like him instead.

Will we see Ugo again? I hope so.

best parts of the episode were
1. ugo's goodbye to aladdin even though it was really sad (but i doubt we will have seen the last of him tbh)

2. Kasshim's transformation at the end, wow!

rest of it was so so, again not bad just thought the interactions between characters could have been better!

Can't stand Kassim. He's just thirsty for war. I hope he'll die on the next episode since he's not deserving to get a happy ending.

Decent episode I guess. First half with Magi was fine.
But in second half I hated Alibaba for not having the backbone to kill Kassim (after what he started and how mericlessly he slaughtered those soldiers).

I still can not deal with this Alibaba x Kassim relationship. I really wish Alibaba would stop considering someone like him as his friend. I like Alibaba but he really needs to man up! and stop being so naive!
Good episode though, I was not expecting him to turn into a demon. it was very interesting.

I actually think Kassim is right, this happy-go-lucky peace for all approach is too childish and unrealistic.

Second half of this episode was pretty good.

It is unrealistic, and thinking that all the crimes of the monarchy can just go away is ridiculous. But Kassim is still awful. He uses Ali Baba, and he just wants to be king and obtain power himself. I don't think inciting riots and making the entire country fall into ruin helps anyone either.

Regardless a happy ending where the royalty just go unpunished like "oops" doesn't seem any better.

A riot, people may die, but for a cause, a just one whether they fail or succeed... it's like the show is trying to make that seem immoral to fight for your rights.

Not true. What is "immoral" about him is the way he does things.
He knows Ali Baba so well so he should be well aware that he won't be doing anything "bad" to the country or the people. He didn't even fking listen to his speech. And when things were finally resolved he just had to show up to ruin everything again. He didn't even gave Ali Baba's plan a chance!

Also, you should know that if you can avoid unneeded bloodshedding then you should do everything in your hands to do that. That's what Ali Baba (as well as Sinbad) were trying to do. Kassim's riot at the end was freakin unnecessary and he just did it for his own personal wishes/goals/grudges.

I don't think he was an entirely bad person and a few points he was trying to make were understandable, but his grudge against Ali Baba meant his downfall.

This is pretty much the reason I don't like the show as much is I would like to, it's to far-fetched.

Very sad episode, I liked Ugo! Hopefully he'll return. Alibaba fighting Kassim was amazing, Alibaba's an amazing character he didn't have it in him to kill his best friend, he might regret not doing that. And as for Kassim's transformation.... Wow, just wow. And what's happening with Aladdin, he's going to go met Solomon? Wow, all in all a very exciting episode of Magi!

Can't believe Kassim would do that to Alibaba. Kassim has been over powered by darkness that then used the dark ruhk to control the people against him. There always seems to have two childhood friends that later on have to go against each other. It's heartbreaking but that's what makes part of this anime good. Holy crap... Kassim... this transformation. Whoa.... O.o

Hrmmm, not sure how the opposite of fate is depravity, but I am kind of intrigued that in this series fate is not something to fight against. Most shounen series deal with how you shouldn't let something like "fate" or "destiny" rule your actions, but in this series it seems to be the opposite (Maybe?).

No more Ugo would be disappointing. Alibaba should've just killed Casim, but instead he starts wailing like a little child. You'd think he would've figured out by now that Casim never was the person Alibaba thought he was. What happened to all those people outside the gates when Alibaba was fighting Casim? Will be glad when this arc is over.

For a shounen anime, this anime gets away with a lot of shit for only being PG-13.

Kassim's transformation was pretty macabre.

Dammit Alibaba why didn't you kill Kassim?! Now there's a MOTHERFUCKING DEMON ON THE LOOSE!

I want to see Morg fight Kassim's demon form even if she can't win. Her fight scenes are just so badass.

Great episode. I'm glad they're starting to tone down the politics.

Ugo turned to be a bishie at the end, lol. Hope this is not the last time we see him. He's cool.

I kinda respected Kassim in the previous episodes for fighting for the poor people and helping them, but this episode just killed my image of him. I can understand that he is resentful with the nobility and the monarchy, and that not only because Balbadd will become a republic things are necessarily going to become better, but by controlling the same people he protected to cause a revolt (who will kill many innocents in the process) and going against Alibaba's plan (whom Kassim perfectly knows he cares about the citizens) only to fulfill his selfish desires, he is not any better than Abhmad. I don't think he is not an evil person pér se, but Alibaba should have killed him to save Balbadd from bleeding any more.

The transformation of Kassim was really dark. Didn't expected that from the studio who censored the blood of Fairy Tail.

Alibaba, you're too soft! -___- And i've had enough of Kassim, though i dont really like him in the first place. At first I sympathise with him and his cause, but then he got annoying. I thought he'd die or give up but then he turned into some demon, hopefully this means a quick death soon lol

Ugo turns out to be a cutie (Aladdin is right) XD So Ugo's master is not Aladdin but I'm guessing King Solomon or something? And Ugo wont appear before Aladdin again? That's sad :(

This dude Cassim has to be one of the most naive characters on the show, how are you gonna say this is for the people and we should get to rule when thats what Alibaba was clearly doing by ceasing the monarchy and establishing a republic that is run by the people, he could clearly trust Alibaba because hes a true man of his word and hes a close friend. Cassim showed much ambivalence and most of what he was rambling about was ambiguous af

That escalated quickly. From a really happy atmosphere to the absolute opposite. Fucking Kassim and this masked guy...

I liked that we finally saw Ugos face and the conversation he had with Aladdin. But it seems that this was the last time we saw Ugo :(
So Aladdin is about to learn more about himself and Salomons wisdom? That's cool.

The fight in the fire before the palacewas alright. But wtf was Kassim doing, omg. He went totally crazy and transformed into a black Djinn?

I can't really see what will happen next, but Alibaba it seems you have to make a decission.

Wow, good job Ali, you will be the perfect king one day in a perfect universe, just please don't be a representative authority on any other nations with complex cycles of violence and corruption please.

Just go to lalaland like Naruto and talk down a violent opponent from their years of resolution.

I enjoy the concept that magi choose their representative kings and the intertwining of fates jostling for the future. However, unlike other anime, magi (anime) has yet to go into detail that kings and queens are also chosen on the basis of their almost psychopathic cold logical decision making for the long term goal and minimisation of casualties.

A king has to be the one to put down insurrections without complete mercy, tax people so that the country is safeguarded from invasion, never bend to popularists that might fracture and weaken the country, make decisions that will make a portion of people suffer but alleviate the greater amount of people. They even have to postpone policies to end destabilising suffering of the masses to appeal to dangerous lords and dukes that could throw the country into war and find a solution to eliminate or greatly mitigate their influence in the future. It's a complex balancing act, with the king always ready to lose his head for it, whether it was deserved or not.

Unfortunately, we don't see this in magi, at least in ali baba, we only need the 'hero', the royal blue collar who has a golden heart but when pressed further on his will, crumbles easily. What an amazing pick Aladdin, here's hoping he turns more into Sinbad as the show progresses.
