History YMMV / MagiTheLabyrinthOfMagic

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Many, considering the nature of the conflicts in this series.

** Sinbad for various reasons. He doesn't get his own spin-off for nothing.

** Despite some of the [[DieForOurShip undeserved hate]] she gets, {{Moe}} PrettyPrincessPowerhouse Kougyoku is the best example. She's rather popular in Website/{{Tumblr}}.
*** [[BrilliantButLazy Koumei]] and [[CuteAndPsycho Kouha]], two of Kougyoku's brothers, are also well-loved. [[NiceGirl Hakuei]] also has fans for [[TokenGoodTeammate obvious reasons]].
** Meanwhile, [[OnlySaneMan Jafar]] is the male example of EnsembleDarkhorse.
*** In addition, all eight of Sinbad's generals get love, especially for their quirks and [[CoolBigSis mentor]] [[BigBrotherMentor roles]] [[CoolTeacher towards]] the main protagonists.

* {{Shipping}}: ''Lots'' of it.

* {{Starboarding}}: Hakuryuu -> Morgiana.

* VillainDecay: Ill Ilah got hit by this, '''''hard''''' after its first appearance. Its first impression as a terrifying world-devouring EldritchAbomination which required a combined joint-effort of every single djinn-equipped character to keep out from entering their universe when summoned, made the impression of it being the final BigBad of the series, only to be, later on, [[spoiler: hijacked by David, abandoned by its sole supporter Arba, taken advantage of by Sinbad, crushed like an ant at the Royal Palace and then, to put the cherry on the top of its humiliation, placed in a aquarium like a pet-jellyfish by Ugo.]] It´s safe to say that Ill-Ilah will never be seen as anything but a joke by the fandom after that at this point.

* AngstWhatAngst: Despite having been locked in a room with no one but a Djinn for most of his childhood, Aladdin shows very little signs of mental strain over this outside of flashbacks. Chapter 237 [[SubvertedTrope reveals]] that Aladdin actually had angst over it, to the point of having a FreakOut. It was Ugo being his friend rather than his servant what allowed him to see his confinement as enjoyable. {{Fanon}} likes to think that Aladdin actually has claustrophobia.

** [[spoiler: Subverted! Ren Gyokuen is revealed to really be ''Arba'', who didn't show her true colors until Solomon decided to become the new god of Alma Torran. The Magi with the EmptyEyes close to Solomon was actually the good one, ''Sheba.'']]

** Some fans viewed Kouen's death as this. Many saw him as a good {{Foil}} to Sinbad and wished to see a fight between these two foils. But they never got the fight and Kouen is just executed.
*** Subverted big time. [[spoiler: It turns out that Aladdin used water magic to fake Kouen's death.]] So those who wanted to see Kouen have an actual fight with Sinbad can rejoice.

** [[BigBad King David Jehoahz Abraham]] is the King of Alma Torran of the past and the ruler of the Magicians. As King, David [[FantasticRacism oppresses all non-human species]] in his empire with magic towers constructed to steal their reason and intellect, turning them into feral, mindless beasts under the control of the human ruling class. Having discovered the form of "Ill Ilah," an EldritchAbomination known as God, David makes plans to surpass it and take a seat as God himself. When his son Solomon rebels against David's tyranny, David bides his time until Solomon and his allies attack David's capital. David lets them attack a decoy, before leading his magicians in his own entourage to butcher the helpless civilians, [[WouldHurtAChild including the children]]. The young son of two of Solomon's closest followers is found hideously burnt and dying, but still alive, begging his mother to save him as he dies in her arms. The one fighter who attempts to stop David is mercilessly slaughtered with nothing short of cold satisfaction. When engaging Solomon, [[ArchnemesisDad David]] shows no regret or remorse, proclaiming his grand ambitions and utter megalomania.
** [[FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon Arba]], once one of King Solomon's most beloved followers, [[FaceHeelTurn fell into depravity]] when Solomon's will supplanted that of Ill Ilah's. Devoting herself to destroying the kingdom of Alma Torran, Arba founded Al-Thamen, also known as "The Organization", and led an attack on the kingdom, culminating in her personally cutting down [[spoiler:her surrogate sister, Solomon's pregnant lover Queen Sheba]]. Vowing to return to destroy the world Solomon creates anew, Arba manifests in Solomon's new world in the Kou Empire, having children for the purpose of [[FamilialBodySnatcher possessing them when her current body is worn out]]. When she possesses her descendant Gyokuen, Arba murders [[spoiler:Gyokuen's husband, Emperor Hakutoku, and his elder two sons]], mocking her [[spoiler:remaining]] son Hakuryu, the only son Arba herself gave birth to, for his helplessness in learning the truth. Murdering [[spoiler:her second husband to seize the throne]], Arba attempts to summon Ill Ilah back into the world to drain it dry of magic and leave it a barren, lifeless husk, [[PsychoSupporter devoted only to the will of Ill Ilah]] and to [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt the destruction of all Solomon has made]].

* EvilIsSexy: Aum/Umm Madaura, and especially [[spoiler:Arba]] get this treatment on the female side. Judar, Kassim, and [[spoiler:David and Sinbad]] get this as well.

** The final arc has been receiving this reaction from many readers. From [[spoiler: David and Sinbad fighting over who gets to be supreme god]], to the sheer escalation of the stakes at hand, there's a lot of criticism to be had for it, especially since the final arc lasted for more than two years.

* DracoInLeatherPants: Judar and Cassim are the biggest examples for this among fans due to their tragic backstory. And that's ignoring a plethora of their KickTheDog actions in the story (Judal, even more so than Cassim).

* AngelDevilShipping: Judar/Kougyoku may count as an example.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Arba/[[spoiler: Ren Gyokuen]] has really divided the base considering her development at the end of the Alma Toran arc. [[spoiler: Some of the fans think that her sudden change from Solomon's most devoted follower besides Sheba to a zealot nihilist that wants to destroy the fate Solomon sacrificed himself for comes out of nowhere. Her murder of Sheba is ruthless and without hesitation, which seems strange considering how earlier chapters had built up their relationship.]] Some fans attribute that these sudden changes were due to the author being rushed to finish the Alma Toran Arc.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Alibaba is shipped with Aladdin, Morgiana, Cassim, Hakuryuu, Sinbad, Kougyoku, Sharrkan, Olba, Toto, Kouen, Kouha, [[RuleOfFunny Elizabeth]]...

* {{Narm}}: The [[TheEmpire Laem Empire]] looks like a thin anagram for "lame", and many readers are going to pronounce it that way.
** It seems the {{Fansub}}s have noticed it and start to use the alternative name "Reim" which, if you think about it, makes more sense considering it's based on the Roman Empire.
* NeverLiveItDown: The fandom will never forget Sinbad's leaf.
