Does Morgiana even understand how she feels for Alibaba? Maybe the reason she turned down Hakuryuu is because of her loyalty to Alibaba, or at least that is what she thinks.

Peace.
It would certainly have been questionable before Hakuryuu's confession, but surely that incident made her think. Maybe the truth hasn't quite hit her yet, and she'll need the year of separation to realise it.Originally Posted by shinta|hikari
So...this is pretty much a completely different series now huh?
HS - S2 Episode 08
--------------
Nah, same old.
They've split their training/adventure into 3 separate locations as opposed to doing it all in Sindria. If we're talking about the change in atmosphere/pace and all that, I still like Magi before Alibaba's arc the best.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
Well, I'm just saying, it started out as this Arabian Knights fable-thing, and now it's Harry Potter.
Their choice of 8 elements is ... eh.
It's weird that there's no Earth magic. And I don't get what Power is supposed to be yet.
Something like Telekinesis?
Or maybe it is a physical buff magic.
Peace.
Still no sign of the darkness of Magnostadt. Quite interestingly it wasn't evident even during these training sessions. They didn't make the students compete against each other, let alone encourage any means necessary to get strong or rise above others, but rather they were only beating their own weakness and were allowed to support each other. The teacher, while quite prussian in behavior, was still caring for them.
Are the nefarious plots and actions really the country's official stance or the work of a powerful sect that manages to drag the whole country into to them every now and then? Well, who knows. I'm sure we will learn in time.
The instructor's boobs serving as such an essential lifeline for Aladdin was funny and very fitting. That along with Aladdin falling asleep every time the roommate tried to tell his story will undoubtly be fond memories when the story now shifts to Alibaba and will be full of the usual loserness and emoness.
Their darkness of Magnstadt shouldn't be visible to the normal students anyway. Most likely their research about dark metal vessels and stuff like that would be top secret. And if a student happens to stumble upon something that would help that research they would take it away. Saying that it's too dangerous or something.
Magi S2 - 09 [HorribleSubs]
----------------
They make it easy to forget that Alibaba is actually a very skilled dagger fighter. In addition to the royal style he started with, he also learned from Sinbad's best. His problem is that among magoi users, dungeon clearers, dark metal vessel monsters, magicians, and Sinbad's great heroes, he ends up looking pretty weak.
It was nice to see a regular fight too, although Toto used her Qi/magoi toward the end of it. Alibaba knows how to allow only the most narrow misses and parries in order to get in at his opponent.
It was also nice to see a country where they don't treat everyone like shit. All the beggars were getting food from random people. That said, they still mentioned that there are slaves working all over the place. Alibaba isn't too fond of that, though these ones don't seem to be mistreated. They're more like indentured servants for the most part.
Alibaba's biggest problem is his mentality. There's no problem with his skills technically speaking, like you said. Though now it was revealed he has a chimera magoi issue going on, but it makes sense the main character has an extra attribute difficult to master but powerful when under control. But he's still an idiot for the most part, and that's holding him back. I suppose being a well-meaning fool will gain him sympathy points from various decent people, so it fortunately helps him as often as it hampers his progress.
Toto might be hot. At least she doesn't seem to be underage and underdeveloped...
All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
Quite interesting that they made it very clear it was Kassim's magoi. Alibaba seems to have inherited Kassim's will when he mercy-killed him, rather than them just having a moment. I guess the question would be whether it is some dark, poisoned magoi he'll need to dominate, or if it is just Kassim's determination to bring justice to the world.
I'm also surprised that Kassim's really dwarfs Alibaba's own. Aladdin sees a very different view of Alibaba's potential, to the point where it is almost greater than Sinbad's. The others here see Alibaba not really registering much at all.
Maybe having two different magoi is exceedingly exceptional and, when it happens to happen, usually only temporal. That would explain why the master in this episode recognized it promptly and knew something about the condition, but people at large, even in Sindria, never even thought about it. Sinbad actually suffered for a while a condition something like this when he was "poisoned" and not able to use his powers during the invasion. The fact Alibaba has been using his powers all the time might have fooled everybody who actually know him. However, Aladdin is a magi, and he might have actually had a premonition of Alibaba being an exception who could master two different magoi in his body, and thus far greater than everybody thinks.
I'm not too surprised. Kassim had some powerups and all, and I kind of thought that since Kassim gave his entire life away as Magoi that it'd be stronger than Alibaba's. Aladdin also saw character potential in Alibaba more so than Magoi potential I thought, so strength didn't really have anything to do with it here.
Sounds like someone forcefully injected foreign Magoi into Sinbad to disrupt him then. I guess that malicious Magoi would really kill you, but while Kassim's is different he doesn't have that intent... they're just not in sync.
I wonder about that. Aladdin mainly used external Ruhk, and didn't even know about the different magic types etc. That all sounds like the external application of magoi though. Qigong would be concerned about the internal flow and manipulation more so than external manifestation, even if they all boil down to studying applications of Qi/Magoi/Chakra/The Force.However, Aladdin is a magi, and he might have actually had a premonition of Alibaba being an exception who could master two different magoi in his body, and thus far greater than everybody thinks.
What do you mean "might"? Toto is hot DAMN. Alibaba gets the best girls (except when he asks for them at cabarets).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
He always gets the best girls. He asks for the most popular, and he gets them no question, regardless of who else they might have been busy with.
Aladdin only get the pretty girls who gladly loan him their boobies to play with.
You would think Alibaba by now would be experienced enough not to ask for a new girl blindly but would choose from the ones he sees with his own eyes. Or even better: Go for Morgiana.
Hmm, I thought each character was going to have their own separate story arc here. But I guess they're just going to switch back and forth between the 3 of them.
Exactly. Bird in the hand Alibaba! Bird in the hand!
I am so excited about this coming fight.
Alibaba is a perv. He cut up Toto's clothes pretending to be a gentleman (and not hurting her) but that look at the end of the match says otherwise.
Peace.
HS - S2 Episode 10
----------------------------------
Alibaba not sucking is soooo much fun to watch. I was already mentally telling him to break the sword down so he could use it like a dagger right at the beginning of the fight, but it turned out that way towards the end anyway. That Fanalis lady too.. :3
On the other hand, I thought it was stupid that Alibaba didn't know this was a fight to the death.
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I was rooting for the rancor very soon after the match started. But perhaps this experience and enlightement will make Alibaba a better man and end his days as a whiner and loser. As much as the Japanese love miserable main characters, surely this is already enough.
The episode could have used a bit more Morgiana, but at least the last seconds were something.
