GLADIATOR TIME.

I thought the first half of the episode was brutal. That fight felt one sided tbh at first. Poor Alibaba-kun. I was rooting for him the entire time against that monster. The OST was pretty good imo. GO ALIBABA.

And aww, Toto cares about him. How cute. The surprising part is that the monster is with Alibaba though. Scheherazade is so wise :3

Sword being switched. Trial of determination to kill... The monster is difficult and the reality is cruel for the battle not done until one side is dead. Remembering about his dead friend and his cruel past making him determined. His two souls (with his friend) intertwined. Wow, he bought that monster after winning, and even Kashim's personality is there (though not used to it).

Mamo's character, who seems to fight along with Sakamoto-san's character, heard about various wrong doings using magoi.

Morgiana's turn next.

That was some cruel fight. Damn, stupid Kassim feelings. ;_; Poor Alibaba. I was glad he was able to defeat that monkey.
I like Scheherazade's voice though, she does sound cute.

Poor Alibaba-kun :( I actually thought he was gonna die at some parts of the fight.
I gained a huge amount of respect for him after this episode. Lmao when he makes the monkey thing be his pet that was awesome.
And we're introduced to a new Magi? I'm curious to see what part she plays into the story.
Now let's see some more of Morgiana next week! 5/5

Brutal fight, when Garda bites and breaks Alibaba's arm it looks really painful, he even faints. Fortunately he uses his wits to turn the table. He is now more determined about his goal, and with a balanced magoi flow he can become even stronger. (If you haven't noticed, the red earrings are the same Cassim used to wear) Alibaba was even influenced by Cassim's habit to smoke cigars, but since it's Alibaba he just can't look cool when smoking (in the manga he nearly coughs his lungs out xD) Toto's developing admiration of him kinda fell again.

I spot some fanalis people, can't wait to see them in action. The voice for miss Scheherazade is really good. Also Mu who is sweet and very loyal to her. They mention some issues that foreshadow troubles brewing in both Magnostadt and the Kou Empire.

Next episode is about Morgiana's travels. I would not mind if they put in some fillers, because her story is a short one. Btw she looks so cute with that head piece on <3

Sick fight. I thought Alibaba arm got broken by Garda... but meh
Surprised that he tamed Garda after that.

At least now both his magoi has fused meaning that he can now use magoi manipulation?

Finally Morgiana gets some screen time.
I mainly see the animes... so don't blame me for not knowing about the Manga/LN

Me, too. Consider how mild magi had been. I almost had to skip a bit.

But it ended really fast. I want more of alibaba. Seems next week is morigiana.

I think the fight should've been changed in some way. Any real person or side character would've died instantly from that smashing, but Alibaba didn't even get any injuries. The only injury he got was when that ape crushed his hand. This isn't DBZ ffs.

Surprisingly brutal for the first half. Alibaba finally came to terms with Cassim's magoi and remembered his survival instincts. Toto is lovestruck. Morgiana has finally arrived at her homeland.

Did the director change or something?? This season is on a whole other level than the first! It's so good!!

Loved this episode. Glad to see quite a lot of the brutality in Alibaba's fight was intact.
Dat damn Garda XD...The biting was brutal as hell and that audience was so lol with how moody they were. A moment cheering for him then another "Eat him" XDXDXD
Well, it's just for enjoyment :P

Nice win by Alibaba. And the fusion with Cassim was nicely done too ^^

Awesome seeing the Finalis corps too. Their VAs so far have been awesome. Myron is hot as hell animated and loving her Nano da :3 Same for Scheherazade. Her voice fits her perfectly <3

Toto falling for Alibaba's cool side was cute and funny after knowing how things go in the manga later lol XD Well he did look cool until the hair started to burn XD...Poor Alibaba as usual. Can't even keep acting cool without trouble XD

At the end...Mor <3...Can't wait to see Yunan :D

I agree, I had a hard time sitting through that considering how mild Magi's been thus far... But it was still good nonetheless. I was just unprepared for such a brutality ^^; Poor Alibaba; I was sure at one point he was going to die...

That being said, I really enjoyed this episode (hooray for character development!) and I'm super excited for Morgiana next week :3

...if the image BBCode on signatures would start working again it'd be greatly appreciated ;~~~;

Yeah I like the Alibaba centered eps best so far.

Toto looked like she wanted some Alibaba D there.

Why so surprised that the fight is brutal? Few episodes ago, Kouha was cutting people into two.

I don't remember the manga introducing the Fanalis corp so soon. You can expect there will be more than 3 people. Maybe Morgiana should've come with Alibaba.

After Morgiana centered episode, maybe they'll show what going on with Zuk- I mean Hakuryuu.

Because Kouha's slaughter was actually censored pretty heavily. I also expected the same to happen to this episode, but I'm glad it was bloody. Morgiana will probably get like 11 minutes of screentime I think.

Alibaba looked pretty cool with the cigar until his hair caught fire.

Such a great anime! Although I prefer Aladdins story over all the others so I am sad when we don't get to see Aladdin in the episode.One thing that is annoying is Alibaba's character development is such a seesaw. OP to weak sauce to OP again. I am hoping he doesn't regress again and no more crying!
