Hi everyone! Murphy here again. It’s been a while since I’ve posted on of these theories on this blog, huh. Sinja is really thriving these days with Snb and all~ This time I will be focussing on the Volume 34 Paper, the Love Counselling Session with Pisti. (SEE BELOW)
The raws were posted by someone on twitter or tumblr? If someone knows please let me know so I can credit them~ Thank you!
The translation of Ja’far’s piece reads:
Ja’far: “I’ve been so busy with work and my vision is getting bleary. I now suffer from Gestaltzerfall when reading the 恋 in 恋爱.”
Pisti: “It’s going to be alright! It’s probably has something to do with your age as well… never mind, sorry, forget what I said.”

I’m sure every SinJa and Ja'far lover was confused when they read this. We finally get a peek into Ja’far’s love life but we are given this weird content instead? What does Gestaltzerfall mean? Why does this affect only Ja’far?
Well, I have yet to see a proper post detailing this which is why I am going to try my hand at analysing it today! Everyone please bear with me! (Long post ahead, watch out!!)
One of the reasons I love the Japanese language is because it’s so easy to slip in double meaning that make great fuel for metatheories.
But yes I do think this is the case. It makes the most sense. Otherwise, why put Jafar in there in the first place. From the enormous magi cast, he’s not the first person you’d associate with a love life (even though he does have one). So not only from a character perspective but also from a writer’s perspective this theory is the one that is the most logical. (especially because of the nature of Jafar’s love life the writers can’t openly declare it. Though times are changing and I feel that in a few years writers can be a bit more open about these sorts of relationships.)
In addition, Pisti stops talking about Ja’far’s age like if he were the type to get offended when reminded that he’s getting old. However we know Ja’far doesn’t really care about his age (that would be Sinbad). Her reply is really suspicious, she seems to stop before she touches a delicate issue.
