Despite everything I said, even I'm now feeling this arc is lacking some of the spirited vigor the previous ones had. Perhaps it's just because not only Alibaba but also Aladdin got so melancholic. I would also rather see Morgiana's growth as a free person outside of an arc as gloomy as this. It's kind of cruel that when she's just discovering herself in the process of healing lifelong scars, she's suddenly pitted against one of the two people who helped her gain her freedom and human dignity.

But on the other hand, I reckon this past and the present state of his country are something Alibaba needs to deal with. They also define him as a person, and no doubt explain why he hated slavery so much. If they had made this arc goofy, it would have left Alibaba quite a superficial person.

On a basic level I've always been intrigued by stories where friends are set against each other by differing circumstances. It's just that Aladdin is the kind of a happy-go-lucky kid that I wouldn't want to see suffer.
