Funny and annoying how some people are talking bad about Judal and the typical "shonen cliches".
How about reading the manga instead?
Then again I guess it can't be helped since A-1 really did a poor adaption...

On topic: This episode was pretty good, but not great imo.
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process.
Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers.

How can alibaba still consider kassim whos a piece of shit for a person, to be his friend? after everything kassim did hes still hesitating to kill the guy when needed to, its weird and annoying and i dont understand him at all.
When alladin sama finally came i was like yay :3

overall its a very enjoyable episode

See this is why character narration is terrible, that masked guy is breaking up the flow and he's also breaking the 4th wall. They should have had a real narrator. This way, an outside entity talking to us wouldn't feel like they are forcibly pausing real-time story for a character to give us exposition.

So we got a LOT of powerups in the frame of 3 episodes, and still we're at a stalemate. Kassim now feels like a mix between the first Digimon boss and a Final Fantasy boss.
Not that good of an episode.

Between Judal and Ali Baba this episode was almost unbearable.

The only character I can stand at this point is Morgiana.

Somehow I was expecting this to be a bit more epic but the anime kinda went for either really slow/still scenes and slow dramatic music. Kinda ruined Aladdin's entrance...

I actually agree with this.

Don't get me wrong, it was still good, just could have been better. Maybe the last episode set the bar way too high? xD

It's just A-1 sucking as usual.
So many sloppy faces, still scenes etc. they just can't animate shit.
I'm so sad they made a joke out of Magi.

Guys... Y da fuq is Kassim being evil for no apparent reason? Like, he doesn't really want to be king. He doesn't care about protecting the innocent. He doesn't care if he causes bloodshed for no apparent cause. Really? Curse my own fate? What's that about? I seriously don't get it. He's really not helping anything by making people feel depressed. As if he'll experience upward mobility by doing whatever the heck he is. Really, what's killing the monarchy going to do now? He's just hurting Alibaba's feelings; why? Probably because he developed some sadistic fetish as a child, I don't know. Someone needs to teach that boy a lesson =3=

Great episode, glad Aladdin returned! Crazy ending, hope we learn what exactly is "Solomon's wisdom". I hope the returning Judal gets beat again. Alibaba continues to gain my respect because of how hard he tries, I love that guy. Mor continues to impress me because of how caring she is to Alibaba, she's really changed since the beginning. Great episode!

So, going to guess that Aladdin is now supposedly OP after obtaining "Solomon's Wisdom" . . . But somehow even after obtaining it he won't actually be OP, they will just say he is OP =/

These fights were a bit underwhelming compared to Judal's fight with Ugo in episode 10. These fights didn't have any tensity at all. It was just a lot of shouting and power-ups.

Alibaba sure has become a wimp. *sigh*

It was still a good episode, I just wish the fights were more intense.

Not sure I can even make it through this episode. It's like A-1 got tired of following any plot and just started copying random shounen anime tropes.

I haven't read the manga, but the anime comes across as pretty generic and nonsensical (the fact that a random dude had to keep interrupting the fight to explain to the viewer what is happening in the fight is a red flag).

Plus Alibaba's character is pretty much relegated to being the "dumbfounded staring" guy that is usually played by some random person in the crowd, not one of the central characters in the show.

It probably wouldn't be so bad if the staring didn't happen while the people he is supposed to be saving are being systematically killed off right in front of him. He might not want be to king of a country, but he appears happy to be the king of watching his allies get killed.

pt1 -- Alibaba is like a fairy tale princess, always in need of saving. If he'd just killed Kassim when he had the chance, he could've saved a lot more lives and avoided this whole battle altogether. I don't really understand why he spared him anyway, I get that they were friends when they were really little but since then, for the most part, Kassim was a complete d*ck to Alibaba and pretty much did nothing but use him.

Also it was Kassim who burnt down the palace and basically killed the previous king, which is the reason Alibaba abandoned the country and never took the throne. This ensured Ahbmad would become king and then go on to f*ck up the country. So not only was Kassim the reason the country was f*cked, he then decided to start a pointless war after the country is saved by Alibaba, because he maybe wants to be become king.

Some claim that Kassim was being influenced or controlled by Ithnan but I think that's only a possibility and to me it seemed like Kassim had a lot of free will for someone who was under hypnosis or whatever. Either way there was no good reason for Alibaba's actions, he literally disarmed himself, fell to his knees and begged Kassim to surrender, SO BAD! (and not in the good way)

pt2 -- Seriously Alibaba was just so useless this who time, it really annoys me because most of the other characters are really likable. I thought he was going to get better after confronting the Kou princess but when it comes to Kassim this guy is just pathetic. He literally gazed like a deer in headlights while Sinbad (who I thought would be able to handle this a little better than he did), Morg and the others were laid into like crash test dummies.

I thought at least Sinbad would be able to handle the situation better than he did, being the High King of the Seven Seas and all that. I think he relied on Alibaba way too much and they're probably trying to hold off showcasing his real power until later (at least I hope this is the case), kinda dumb but might be worth the wait, we'll see.

Great episode. Kassim for sure was completely out of his mind. Morgiana had noch chance and wenn Judas appeared it seemed to be completely over. He managed to make Kassim as his own Djinn.

Alibaba was hesitating so much before, even when he had the chance to kill this Black Djinn.
And now his sword also broke in two halves.

Aladdins appearence was so epic. He looked so much stronger as before but even then he said he couldn't beat Judas. I hope they will explain what exactly Salomons wisdom is.

Can't also wait to see Sinbad if gets his Djinn vessels back and of course Alibaba and Aladdin vs. Judas :P

Good on you Ali, fighting hard, but nothing you do will erase your mistakes as useless king candidate who sent the country into a failed state, killed hundreds of thousands of people, let an incompetent king reign and a failure as an executor of justice of ending the life of a terrorist thief that used you again and again and is the cause of the country's complete demise and the reason you became an impoverished errand boy. Fk man, get some perspective. Aladdin you done fked up choosing this idiot with a heart of a lion.

Like another commenter said. Alidumdum is the reason I dislike the show.

Did I miss something, it's getting hard to support the good guys when we know next to nothing about the black rukh and their motivations.

Is the manga less clichéd?

This episode was average. But the animation... I almost can't stand it being so bad. Like at least give us fluid fight scenes.

I expected a bit more of Aladdin's new power, a bit disappointed. Now I hope that Sinbad will completely wreck Judal once he gets his items back, in the best case he'll even kill him for all the shit he has done.

wow, why this episode got so much hate?
is this because the episode ended with normal magi cliffhanger while the plot haven't changed much over the episode?

i agree this isn't the best magi episode, but it's not that bad.

though i must admit, that "rukh" gather at the end and the idea behind this system felt too much like DBZ "i need your power for spirit bomb!". lol

Sinbad savin his ass, Morgiana savin his ass, Aladin savin his ass while he's cryin like a little bitch.

Masrur the powerhouse is seriously underutilized here. He should also save his ass. 

And he broke djin's weapon, what an idiot. Team nato is unorganized and underage, I'm cheering for China from now on.

Can people please be more understanding of Alibaba? He's a freaking teenager! And his enemy used to be his psuedo-brother! You gotta realize how much he used to love Kassim. If your childhood best friend suddenly became your enemy, wouldn't you feel conflicted? Kid's got a heart. And he's really trying. Look how much he's grown in such a short time.

That being said, Morgiana is still my favorite here. She fucking knocked a demon djinn out of the sky. With a kick. Like, u wot m8!? I love her so much 🥴

Also can Judaar please be like purified or something? We know he was good once and turned dark, so maybe just maybe he can be "cleansed" or something? I'd really like to see him with white or silver hair and a loving personality similar to Aladdin.
