I have been waiting for this for months, so many months dammit

Ja’far’s feelings in one sentence. This is exactly what I wanted. It sucks it’s only one thought from Alibaba though. I thought that since Ja’far always told Alibaba he can count on him if he wanted to talk, he was going to talk with him at some point. It’s sad.

I guess that Ja’far was truly worried about having to fight with the main trio and support Sin, who seemed to not be himself lately.

And Ja’far knew everything, yet Sin still wanted him out of his office when Arba was around. Well, Sin was isolating himself and considering what he’s thinking in chapter 317 it was all for Ja’far’s well-being.

And here is where my heart breaks again:

Aladdin mentioning the desires and hopes of each one. “Wanting to make your people happy” is the only think Ja’far wants? Isn’t it cute yet sad? Because he knows Sin is suffering and feels lonely when he could rely on him but he chooses not to. Even tho Ja’far wants him to. Well this is mere assumption but still, it does look like it, always.

And then this:

Aladdin says what probably Ja’far always tells him? Or what he always wanted to tell him? (Look at his reaction) That he isn’t alone. I hope this not left like this. C’mon Ja’far was always by his side, I think he deserves some recognition from Sin himself. I really hope so.

And lastly this again. Rejoice at Ja’far calling him “Sin”. All this “president” thing was really upseting. This is definitely their best interaction in months. But then again, hope this isn’t all. Also that phrase kinda suggests Ja’far always knew he could see destiny so I really doubt he doesn’t know about David at this point? He knew about Arba so he must know about David….or so I think.

Anyway, let’s hope things improve a little before they become terrible again and if they become terrible, that they improve in the end.

That looks very intense…..

Also some deaths seem to be very confirmed at this point… It’s sad but we all saw that coming.

Idk if this is kind of an ending for Sin and the crew? It looks like it but at the same time….you know, I really wonder if David left Sin. I’d be thrilled he did but it would be too good? So I’m sure David is gonna ruin this. I am more and more afraid about Sin’s death now. I hope I’m mistaken.

Still that Sin was Sin all along gives me peace. Also even if Ja’far looked terrified in Magi 316, I wonder if it was only because Sin was in bad terms with Aladdin and thought that things were gonna get worse. He looks so happy in the end and Sin gave him a look like “I give up”/”It can’t be helped”, I know he didn’t say that but, that small panel gave me hope? This one:

This panel shows the most positive interaction they have had in this entire arc. They are looking at each other normally. It feels like Sin was aware Ja’far was worried and is giving him confirmation that he can stop worrying now. And then my baby looks happy, too happy.

This kind of ending with Sin and his friends reunited is too good to be true but I still need more. I hope we see Sin and Ja having a normal interaction before the manga ends. Ohtaka pretty plsssssss!!!

Wow here I go again talking about the things that matter in life and Magi :D

Is Ja’far meant to be cute in Magi? I mean, you know how Koumei is meant to be ugly (but he isn’t at all tbh, especially now that he lost his hair….furr….. feathers?),  I wonder if Ja’far is meant to be cute…

I think he is? Idk Not only does he have several cute expressions:

(x)

But also sometimes I feel Ja’far is aware of his own cuteness and hates it. Like here when Yamu made his hair grow:

(x)

He looks so embarrassed like: *blushing* damn now I look even cuter shit, I’m not supposed to be cute, I’m an ex-assassin, I should have grown up big and buff and scary damn this shit.

I also think that the joke of him as a character is that he looks motherly, cute and caring but can be very scary, like when he tried to murder Cassim. It seems like Alibaba and Aladdin see him that way. They find him very caring but also scary.

Alibaba’s memories about Ja’far are literally sparkling and they even almost hugged when they met again.

This is from a Backstage. It has Ja’far’s profile information censored with the onomatopoeia in red “PIIIII” and something like blood is falling. Main trio is scared in the background, the onomatopoeia around them is “buruburu”, so it means they are shivering. I think this backstage hasn’t been translated yet so idk the context.

Sinbad also seems to be aware of this. He sort of points it out when he introduces Ja’far for a second time, when he seems to be a little drunk. And he goes:

What does he mean tho? How does Ja’far look? Weak, delicate, cute, harmless, too kind to murder? What do you think about Ja’far’s look, Sin?

And Ja’far is like: wtf do you mean like this??? *sweats*

Ja’far certainly seems to not like looking cute at all, but at the same time he acts in a cute manner, not on purpose tho. He is polite, walks elegantly, looks clean and tries to give the impression of being like royalty.

Anyway I do believe he is meant to be cute and……. I can’t believe I just wrote all this much about the idea of Ja’far being canonly cute. 

I’m 100000% serious tho….

I still have mixed feelings about it. It’s amazing and cool Seren conquered Zepar but …it also confirmes her death. Also both Sin and Seren look sad so I can’t call it a victory for either of them. Seren is sacrificing her entire being so she can save Parthevia (she lowered herself a lot tbh :c) and Sin is devastated by the truth of him not being able to get royal blood through any other means…A lot to take in.

Anyway. I’m a little bit angry about something totally different but not that much. This:

I have been thinking like crazy about these words like how does Alibaba know what happens when a king vessel dies? (Probably a death person told him…..). But still, I HATE (love) that Ohtaka just threw this all of a sudden without telling us but she didn’t probably care because she was gonna introduce it on SnB soon. This is her forshadowing apparently. Not also about the expanation on what happens with a djinn when their king dies but also the forshadowing of Seren’s death. Haha, I’m angry, but in a fun way, I’m proud of Ohtaka. I always thought this panel in particular had something meaningful. 

So, Sinbad knows what happens when a king vessel dies, because he already experienced it when Seren died. After she died Zepar’s dungeon reappeared probably near her body or back in Heliohapt and he might have gone to get it for himself when it happened.
Which is SOMETHING HE CAN’T DO if Kouen, Kouha or Koumei died, because Sin and his followers are vanished from dungeons, because he has too much power already.

Now I understand this and I’m amazed by Ohtaka’s writing.
SnB is a spin off that can’t be read alone, someone must read Magi and SnB to actually experience THIS crazyness we are all going through right now. Ohtaka is just throwing things to Magi and SnB at the same time and only people that read both are the ones who will get this kind of information and THIS FEELING OF IDK. I’m effing dead.

At least Arbakuei is greeting Ja’far respectfully, look at her reverence.

If she would hate his guts she would ignore him and wait for him to leave, but no, she is greeting him respectfully and Ja’far is the one who is just standing there.

She most likely respects him because Sinbad has commanded her to.Which is definitely a good thing. Not only she respects him, but the fact she is doing the reverence and Ja’far is doing nothing probably means she has a lower rank than him? I remember this being not so clear at the beginning but maybe this is a confirmation of it.

This is good, at least to me, because ignoring the fact that Sinbad is only listening and telling his dirty secrets to Arbakuei, at least he makes sure Ja’far is respected and have his place in the company, like he deserves….

Also now that it doesn’t look like Ja’far and Arbakuei hate each other, maybe we can assume Sin is actually hiding what he does to Ja’far, because:

1. If he finds out, he might disagree with Sin and that would be a problem to him.

2. He just doesn’t want him to be involved in such dangerous plans. So just like he did with the other generals, he’s also pushing Ja’far away from him and dealing with all the shit alone ;n ;

I may be over-analyzing things, but to me this looks like a good sign in the middle of all the shit poor Ja’far is dealing with rn.

This Tegaki is so funny tho.

Sinbad assumes Ja’far has a normal life aside him (Sinbad) and his duties. Nope, sorry, you and Sindria are his whole world.
