El saber más de la historia de Alibaba resulta interesante, ver cómo poco a poco va cambiando, todas las preocupaciones que tiene y el esfuerzo por hacer lo correcto a pesar de lo difícil que sea lo va convirtiendo en un personaje sumamente genial.
Me encanta mucho como la amistad juega un papel importante y la incursión de nuevos personajes sigue enriqueciendo la historia.
Sin duda a pesar de saber de antemano lo que ocurrirá debido a haber visto antes el anime, no le resta para nada la emoción y la impresión de ciertas partes.
Una vez más, diré que es una historia que vale la pena conocer, tanto por lo precioso de su dibujo como por la trama creativa.

Getting good!
World: Art is getting better, especially the magic stuff. The world building is also solid with time to establish the world, the city, the empire and the characters that inhabit them. Adding tr flavor F character backgrounds was good.
Story: The story moves along well with a lot of development this time around. The pacing is a little janky as is the story telling but it's fine. The stuff with Alibaba and Cassim is interesting as is the dynamic with him and the King. The mirror of the two plays well. Add the Sinbad story and the plight of the city and the Kou empire and this story is stuffed with drama potential. Then Voldemorte enters.
Characters: The characters are given a lot of time this time to tell their back stories to make readers care. It's emotionally heavy handed but it's still interesting. The Judar stuff is typical Shonen action fare and he is mwaa haa haa enough to be a good villain for now.
Packed to the gills with story.
Onward to the next book!

Oh, we were doing so well until the Banker AND Judar were introduced. Seriously, how many evil people do we need to drive home the point that people are assholes? The king is bad enough, we don't need a manipulative Banker and Judar making it worse. *sigh* and just when I was starting to get into this series...

Dieser Sindbad ist wirklich ein lustiger Kerl (S. 92)
Wir sind in Balbadd. Aladin und Morgiana versuchen immer noch herauszufinden, was mit Ali Baba los ist. Und, ist dieser Junge überhaupt noch der Freund, den sie lieb und teuer gewonnen haben? Die Situation im Königreich spitzt sich zu und droht zu eskalieren! Und dann taucht auch noch der mysteriöse Judar auf...
5/5! Spannend, spannend, SPANNEND! Von vorne bis hinten eine rundum gelungene Story. Es gibt keinen Moment der Langeweile, der Leser saugt sämtliche Informationen in sich auf und ist so nach und nach in der Lage, das Puzzle um die hitzige Situation rund um Balbadd und Ali Babas Vergangenheit zusammenzusetzen.
Die Charaktere nehmen mit jeder Geschichte mehr Form an und werfen gleichzeitig neue Fragen auf. Freundschaften werden in Frage gestellt, Allianzen werden gegründet und die Rolle des Kaiserreiches Kou im Magi-Universum wird immer deutlicher.
Meine persönlichen Highlights sind die Zankereien zwischen Aladin und Ali Baba, und jedes Mal, wenn Sindbad Jafar mit seinen unvorhersehbaren Handlungen und impulsiven Entscheidungen auf die Palme bringt.

technically a 2.5.
if anyone sees this review, me reading magi rn is more of a revisit, i started reading it probably a decade ago to a bit past where the anime ended but never finished it.
to this volume, political issues with a "king" so ignorant it's cartoonish behind it and a corrupt organization behind them is not really my thing. judar being a "why are we fighting again? i don't even know lol" character at first introduction is also not my thing (i know it's early on but i don't like shallow, immature villains).
not the volume or arc for me and just felt very cliche from alibaba's backstory to the present events but i do see how it's necessary to lay down the overarching plot, power system, and involved parties.

C'è una ragione per cui Sinbad è un fan favourite. Anche se ha un po' la parte del personaggio bellissimo fortissimo imbattibile, in realtà non risulta forzato ma ragionevolmente più potente dei protagonisti. Poi i suoi scambi con Jafar mi fanno morire dal ridere
L'ENTRATA IN SCENA DI JUDAR NEL CAPITOLO 43... certo lo abbiamo visto in altre scene ma qui finalmente capiamo un po' di più che tipo di personaggio è (un pezzo di merda)
E infatti eccolo, lo scontro tra Judar e Aladdin (e Ugo) che conclude il volume. Con un cliffhanger ovviamente! Judar per me è il classico personaggio che inizialmente odi e poi però ti entra un po' nel cuore, non vedo l'ora di rileggere le parti con lui.

Nos enteramos sobre la amistad de Cassim y Alibaba. No pude evitar sentir coraje hacia Cassim por todo lo que hizo, es que en verdad, lo hace ver como un villano, y sin embargo, Alibaba es demasiado bueno e ingenuo. Alibaba tiene un gran peso encima que quiere cargar él solo, pero cuenta con Aladdin y Morgiana, más tarde se le une también Sinbad.
Hay un Magi llamado Judar, con un caracter jugueton y cruel. Literalmente sólo quiere ver el mundo arder sólo por diversión.
Este volumen estuvo cargado de sentimientos y acción.

We got a solid world building. Character background. Social issues that our current world is also facing (poverty, corruption and rebellion). I think this volume is deep as it tackled not just the character background.
And we get to see such a powerful, strong and insane villain in black. And I am fangirling and entertained with the action scenes as well as as the villain in black getting his ass whooped.

めっちゃ面白い。前巻のちょっと「便利な話変更」(モルジアナがアリババ運ぶ)から色んないい歴史話きたからそんなイライラしてない。今回の敵も面白い。次巻楽しみ！
Very entertaining volume. The very ‘convenient’ plotting of having Morgiana steal Alibaba away from his thief’s complex (something that felt like a major ‘writing myself out of a corner’ by the author) is forgiven because of all the interesting backstory he tells. I liked the villain this time too. Excited to read the next one!

Now in Balbadd, Aladdin and Morgiana has reunited with Ali Baba, only to find him leading a gang - so he decides to reveal his shaky past, all while a mysterious new Magi shows his devious face. Ohtaka is sure to give fans chills and thrills with this informative entry. Ali Baba may be willing to share his childhood, but will it change the way Aladdin sees him?

Tenemos una batalla épica en la forma de dos magi, en la que aprendemos un poco más del sistema de magia que hay en el manga. Pero antes está el backstory de Alibaba, y a Sinbad demostrando lo genial que es. Estaba tan cebado anoche que me terminé el arco argumental antes de irme a dormir (otros dos tomos y medio).

Character 3.5| Setting 5| Plot 3| Art 5| Enjoyability 5
Overall Rating: 4.3
This is the Volume where I love the fact that Ja'far gets pranked on by Sinbad. Why is he so wild to his own peeps. There is a lot of good scenes in this volume as it shows Alibaba's past and why he ran from Balbadd and his and Cassim's relationship.
I can see characters developing the plot thickening.

I didn't know I needed 2 magi fighting each other before this volume, but I super appreciated it. The fight scenes are well drawn. I wish Sinbad had more lines though (although I understand why he doesn't since he's lost well... everything.)

Sinbad is such a cool character and so charismatic. But not only him Judar who is on the cover of this volume is really intriguing especially when he meet Aladdin. The last few chapters were amazing, the best of the series so far! Can't wait to read the next volume!

Volume bomba, facciamo la conoscenza di un altro magi che ci farà capire davvero il potenziale del nostro piccolo protagonista.
I misteri sul genio flauto aumentano e non vi facciamo mancare un fantastico combattimento fra magi.

【第38-48夜】
繼續巴爾巴多篇
重睇一次都覺得辛巴達係一個工於心計嘅王呀
用嬉笑怒罵包裝，但其實係一個好manipulative 而強勢嘅人
與其相比，阿里巴巴只係啱啱開始成長，喺呢個時候未承擔到人民嘅期望，只係橫衝直撞地率直。
有趣嘅地方係，漫畫點出咗霧之團「係咪有為之而死嘅決心」呢個疑問。有好多團員見可能會被殺，反而講「只為利益」而逃走呢部份，先理解點解辛巴達指卡西姆只係「為自己私念拖人落水送死」。

Adorei este volume! Saber mais sobre o Alibaba foi o ponto alto! Judal é um psicopata mas parece-me alguém bastante interessante!
