Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic Discussion Thread

[The Drunkard Kid]

Just blasted through chapters 120-current, and hot damn. Kinda wish I waited a couple of weeks to do it though, cuz ending just as Aladdin removed his limiters is extra annoying now.

Also, I'd say the head wizard is less Evil Dumbledore than he is Magicneto.

[Siriel]

Oh shit! The day has finally come.

Aladdin is taking off his limiters.

I predict crazy shit.

hahaha. Turns out we were way wrong there.

spoilers:

Although, something weird is happening in that last page. I hope it's just his power supercharging and not something more harmful.

I'd be interested if...

spoilers:

Aladdin's power had had its growth retarded by his time undercover. It would certainly raise the stakes and he'd have to build his power all over again.

While that would be interesting, it would also be a major dick move.

[Sharkerbob]

Why are we not discussing this awesome, awesome manga?

Seriuously, go read this manga if you aren't already.

Started checking this out within the last month or so, and it is indeed pretty good. I'm only up to chapter 45, though.

[Sound Silence]

Started a serious readthrough recently. I've gotten up to chapter 25 right now.

Morgiana's probably my favorite character so far.

Well, I'm right now.

Aladdin is on the case hardcore.

[Ghost]

Aladdin has officially had enough of this bullshit.

[Len Ikari145]

So, Aladdin has learned the fine art of psychological warfare and ended the war without shedding any blood or using a plot-device. Good show, big guy. You've earned the right to fondle as many boobs as you want.

[Estrecca]

Fast fucker is fast.

Also, we finally know the total number of djinns in the game. There are 72 of them, though it is unclear whether Urgo counted as one or not.

I love Magi! The only thing I hate, and I mean HAAATE about it is how Aladdin is dry humping women and shoving his face into their boobs. I've totally loved perverted characters in the past, but I am not real big on heroes who sexually assault women... especially little kids who are supposed to be super sweet and somewhat wise and mystical for their age. I actually didn't get into this series immediately because much of the first volume is this kind of stupid behavior, but a friend told me to keep reading and yeah, it is great. But the assault thing is weird.

One issue that made EVERYONE I know uncomfortable is when he was dry humping a bedridden girl's leg and trying to see her crotch/ass, and then she ends up not recovering and DIES shortly after that. Every time I start to like Aladdin he does something dumb like that. Maybe that's why I like Morg' and Ali Baba more. I WANT to like Aladdin, but his actions are so inappropriate to the comic and even to his character. I think the mangaka is really forcing it...

So... the most recent chapter.

I'm a little disappointed. So much for the moral ambiguity of Magnoshutatt.

Seems to me that it's more that the Black Rukh is making Evil Dumbledore go crazy. It's been established before that it amplifies negative emotions, so it's not surprising that it would lead to this.

The rest of Magnoshutatt is the same as before, pretty much.

[Ghost]

So Evil Dumbledore finally snapped, huh?

[Estrecca]

Ayup!

Also, interesting bit of characterization for the latest Kou prince.
