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!!)

Wow that’s a lot to think about! I agree with your idea that Ja’far might not be able to recognize the feelings he’s held as for so long as love because they aren’t exactly the same as they were when he was younger. Of course Pitsi (our love expert) understands exactly what he’s talking about and tells him not to worry because *puts on social scientist glasses* love types evolve the longer people are together.

I would say Ja’far is probably thinking that the question is referring to romantic love, when in reality that isn’t the best definition for his and Sinbad’s relationship. I would define their relationship as Storge, and specifically Ja’far’s feeling as Agape.

In Social Science Storge is defined as “growing slowly out of friendship and is based more on similar interests and a commitment to one another rather than on passion [x]. Storgic lovers sometimes cannot pinpoint the moment that friendship turned to love [x].”

Agape is defined as “the purest form of love, derives its definition of love from being altruistic towards one’s partner and feeling love in the acts of doing so. The person is willing to endure difficulty that arises from the partner’s circumstance. It is based on an unbreakable commitment and an unconditional, selfless love, that is all giving. It is an undying love that is full of compassion and selflessness [x].”

So according to theory a healthy relationship in which both partners are committed to the others well being can evolve from Romantic to Storge. However not all romantic relationship become Storge and not all Storge relationships are Romantic. Nevertheless it is still a form of love!

On a slightly unrelated note, gestaltzerfall seems a little like what happenes to some dyslexics with certain words because of forced memorized spelling. Also probably why I was strongly advised not to take Japanese in school.

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. 

Okay so like…I’m not sure why parts of this fandom find it so hard to believe that Ja’far was and remains to this day Rurumu’s adoptive child when it’s so obviously laid out in canon, but I’ve scene in a few places now comments that by the time the slave arc rolls around Ja’far’s relationship with Rurumu is “Strictly professional” and bears no resemblance to that of familial bonds or even a teacher/student dynamic, so here we are. I’m not sure what these comments even mean to say exactly either like are they insinuating that he was actually disowned or do they just think that he was never actually adopted?

Since I already covered the latter of those two here, I’m going to just assume that these comments where indicating that they somehow drifted apart and that Ja’far is no longer a part of Rurumu and HInahoho’s family. I find this all a bit ridiculous since we got the most interactions between Rurumu and Ja’far in this particular arc, but oh well let’s get into the analysis.

So I’ve seen some arguments as to whether or not Rurumu actually adopted Ja’far or if it was just her motherly nature and she treats everyone that way, and I can say that it is a %100 canon fact that Rurumu does view Ja’far as her actual adoptive son, and that Hinahoho does on some level consider him as such as well. 

So anyway look under the cut for a detailed explanation of this
