All the following panels were taken from @arashidono and edited.
I hate having to read SnB at work. Putting aside the deaths of 3 of my most beloved Magi characters (I already cried a lot tbh), we got this moment, which was amazing and beautiful and perfect.
Just picture Sinbad entering that place and seeing the bodies of Shaka, Vittel and Mahad. The shock it must have been after Mystras’s death…..
and then realizing Ja’far had to be there too.
Now, Sinbad has already gone through Ja’far possibly being death and we all remember how much he lost it back then. So he’s also reliving an old trauma, except this time Ja’far might actually be death.Three of his friends died so, why wouldn’t Ja’far be dead too?
Imagine Sinbad slowly checking if Ja’far’s heart is still beating, being so terrified. And then realizing he’s still alive. *sigh*
No wonder why Sinbad wanted to be the one carrying him, even tho Hinahoho and Pipirika, who are much stronger than him, were there too.
I especially love that panel in which just the two of them are shown. Ja’far waking up and realizing he’s being carried gently by Sin.
Sin is handling him so dearly >+o.
Is he carrying him cause he was so scared to lose him? Because he wanted Ja’far to be close to him so he’s sure he’s ok, to protect him. Did Sin want Ja’far to wake up and see him first, so he isn’t scared? Did he want to comfort him?
Is Sin ashamed of not being there with him, so he didn’t want to look at Ja’far thus he offered him his back to cry instead?
This is the intimate physical contact I wanted them to have since long ago!! They are so close together. I bet Sin can feel Ja’far’s heart beating fast and his warm tears and his hands holding onto him. The moment is just so intimate. I bet Ja’far feels comfortable on Sin’s back, all warm, covered in Sin’s scent too >+o
This is yet another big slap in the faces of everyone who claims Sinbad never cared about Ja’far. I hope the manga keeps proving them wrong as it continues.
^ I love this panel because it shows how close they are
^Ja’far trembling as he tells Sin about Vittel and Mahad.
^In this one it looks like Ja’far’s arms are hugging Sin’s neck as he cries??
Anyway, bazillion of headcanons can come out of this ♥ You bet Imma draw a lot of this too. I just can’t believe this finally happened…..
Thanks so much Ohtera-sensei ♥♥♥
