Okay now that some time has passed since spoilers i went back to find this panel

This image was Alibaba’s depiction of the future which we do not see in the final chapter but we can expect this is what will happen in the next few years if the story was to continue. However whats odd is that even though it was mentioned he died Sinbad is clearly visible in the back in his sindrian outfit.

Topped with the above image from magi 368 it asks the question did Ohtaka initially plan for Sinbad to come back? Did plans change at the very end? or was this intentionally done to create an open ending for the reader to interpret? Was sinbad’s fate intentionally left unanswered because it could be addressed through a long timeskip in the adventures of sinbad?

WIth both Alibaba and Jafar certain Sinbad would return and knowing that Jafar has returned to Sindria and Sinbad is dressed in his Sindrian robes in a future image which could be around 6-7 years after the final based on the next gen kids height could the readers really assume that Sinbad does return after several years and that when he does he will return to sindria? Or once again is all this a sign that someone behind the scenes of the story interfered with perhaps what were initial plans? Or was this set up for the adventures of sinbad?. The fact we still got snb creates that little ray of hope that we will find a resolution or get some answers as to what happened
