| 7 | The main characters of the story. |
| 8 | ---- |
| 9 | * AllLovingHero: Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana, all tend to try and see the best in people. |
| 10 | * BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Alibaba (blonde), Aladdin and Hakuryuu (brunettes), and Morgiana (redhead). |
| 11 | * BreakingTheFellowship: Has happened a couple of times. Generally it comes with a TimeSkip of 6 months before they reunite with each other. |
| 12 | * ChromaticArrangement: Aladdin for blue, Morgiana for red, and Alibaba for yellow. |
| 13 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Everywhere they go, if they see people in trouble, they will use all their power to help them. |
| 14 | * {{Flight}}: They all gain this ability eventually, though in different ways. |
| 15 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: While the most noticeable example is Morgiana, all of them grew their hair a bit after the TimeSkip. |
| 16 | * FighterMageThief: Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgianna have this dynamic up until Hakuryuu joins. Aladdin, being [[TheChosenOne a Magi]] naturally is the mage while Morgianna is the Fighter due to having the most physical strength of the group and Alibaba is the Thief due to relying more on agility and even uses a dagger as a weapon initially. |
| 17 | * FireForgedFriends: Their friendship starts in Amon's dungeon, the Balbadd arc strengthens their bond, and the main trio become friends with Hakuryuu, whilst in Zagan's dungeon. |
| 18 | * FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Aladdin is the Realist, Alibaba is the Optimist, Morgiana is the Conflicted, and Hakuryuu is the Cynic. |
| 19 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: Averted; Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana all had to go on long, difficult training journeys, in order to become the badasses that they are now. |
| 20 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: No matter what they do, it never seems to be enough. If even one person suffers, then they weren't strong enough to help. It doesn't help that these guys are entering into more and more complicated situations. |
| 21 | * InstantExpert: {{Averted|Trope}}; not one of them has been able to really use their abilities at first. Even after training for a couple of years, they are not yet experts in their respective skills. |
| 22 | * LoveTriangle: Hakuryuu ends up falling in love with Morgiana who, while clueless about her own feelings, has for a long time been interested in Alibaba, who is oblivious to her feelings. |
| 23 | * ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana sleep in the same bed when they're in Sindria. They don't see anything wrong with it, but Hakuryuu was very pissed when Alibaba told him about it, especially when he said they had to "force Morgiana to do it" (because she felt she didn't deserve to sleep on the same bed as them). |
| 24 | * ThouShallNotKill: All four protagonists were confronted with the chance to kill someone, but they each [[spoiler:(save Hakuryuu),]] chose not to do so in the end. |
| 25 | * TookALevelInBadass: All of them have taken several. |
| 26 | * TrueCompanions: As Aladdin once stated, their lives are united by the Rukh, and their strength comes from their trust in each other. |

| 31 | |
| 32 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KaoriIshihara (Japanese), Creator/EricaMendez (English) |
| 33 | |
| 34 | One of the two main protagonists of the series alongside Alibaba. [[WalkingTheEarth Started the series travelling around the world]] alongside his Djinn, Ugo. He is one of the [[TheChosenOne Magi]] chosen [[TheChooserOfTheOne to select king candidates.]] [[MysteriousPast He knows very little about himself beyond that]]. He is aged around 10 at the beginning of the story. |
| 35 | ---- |
| 36 | * TheAce: At magic after his training at Magnostadt, becoming the only one able to compete with Titus. |
| 37 | * AdorablyPrecociousChild: Holds a lot of responsibilities, despite being only 11-12 years old. |
| 38 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: He learns magic best by watching others use it and applying his own twist. Such as making fire orbs after watching Yamaraiha use water orbs. He also seems to be able to use the magic of people he's close to best: Fire, from Ugo, Water, from Yamaraiha, and Sand, from [[spoiler: Princess Dunya.]] |
| 39 | * BadassAdorable: He's a small thing, but his magic is very powerful and becomes even more so with training. After he obtains Solomon's Wisdom, there's no denying that he can kick ass with or without Ugo. [[spoiler: "Adorable" is debatable after he hits a major growth spurt.]] |
| 40 | * BadassBookworm: After learning from Yamuraiha and studying at Magnostadt, Aladdin has started to really enjoy learning and reading books. |
| 41 | * BadassLongrobe: After joining the Magnostadt Academy. |
| 42 | * BalloonBelly: When he [[BigEater eats for far too long]] without summoning Ugo or using magic. |
| 43 | * BerserkButton: Harming his friends in any way is a good way to get an asskicking courtesy of this BadassAdorable Magi. |
| 44 | * BigDamnHeroes: Pulls one of these right after waking up from a coma, to the immense relief of Alibaba and the others in the vicinity of Jamil and Djinn-possessed [[spoiler:Cassim]]. |
| 45 | * BigEater: Justified because he needs the power of his stomach to summon Ugo. [[spoiler:Continues to be one even long after Ugo's death.]] |
| 46 | * BlackMage: Most of the magic that he learns are for offensive or battle related purposes. |
| 47 | * BornWinner: Born as a Magi. |
| 48 | * BraidsOfAction: Has one single, long braid. |
| 49 | * CharacterDevelopment: Starts off as a naïve child with very little understanding of the world around him. As time passes he begins to turn into a badass mage with a strong moral compass. |
| 50 | * CheerfulChild: More so in the beginning of the manga, but he still retains some of this trope even after everything he's gone through. |
| 51 | * ChildMage: He's only 12-13, but is one of the strongest mages in Magnostadt, if not the world. |
| 52 | * ChildrenAreInnocent: In some ways [[DirtyKid not so much]]. |
| 53 | * AChildShallLeadThem: Since he's a "Magi". |
| 54 | -->'''Baba:''' "You are "Magi", live together with millions of other lives and build a great world, guiding them!" |
| 55 | * ChivalrousPervert: Despite ''adoring'' MarshmallowHell, he's still a very good person. |
| 56 | * TheChooserOfTheOne: While most Magi choose multiple kings for multiple nations, Aladdin is tasked with finding the one king for the whole world. |
| 57 | * TheChosenOne: He is a Magi whose duty is to select a king candidate, so he's TheChosenOne to be TheChooserOfTheOne. [[spoiler:After gaining Solomon's Wisdom, it makes him a chosen one even among Magi]]. |
| 58 | * CoolShades: [[spoiler:Got Instructor Irene's magical glasses that [[GogglesDoSomethingUnusual allow him to read non visible characters in old books]]]]. |
| 59 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blue hair with blue eyes. |
| 60 | * CuteBookworm: While studying magic from books. [[spoiler:The Alma Toran Arc reveals that after being "born" in the Room of Solitude, he learned about most things from books.]] |
| 61 | * DeflectorShield: His Bolg. |
| 62 | * DirtyKid: Likes copping feels of breasts a ''little'' too much for someone not even hitting puberty yet. |
| 63 | * DivineParentage: [[spoiler:Aladdin was conceived when his father Solomon was still human. When Sheba was pregnant, Solomon became the new God of the universe.]] |
| 64 | * ElementalPowers: [[PlayingWithFire Heat magic.]] Application so far is by using it for a [[WaveMotionGun really big fireball]], [[MoreDakka a lot of small fireballs]] [[SuperPersistentMissile that can chase the target]], and [[StatusBuff strengthening Alibaba's]] [[FeedItWithFire Djinn equip.]] |
| 65 | ** He later learns several more, though Heat Magic is his main affinity, making him a "Red Magician." He can cast [[BlowYouAway Wind]], [[MakingASplash Water]], [[MakeSomeNoise Sound]], [[LightEmUp Light]], [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]] and [[GravityMaster Gravity Magic]]. |
| 66 | * FlyingCarpet: His turban can turn into one. |
| 67 | * FriendlessBackground: Sort of. All we know of his past so far is that Ugo was his first friend. |
| 68 | * TheHeart: For any group he is a part of, and possibly for the whole world. |
| 69 | * HeartwarmingOrphan |
| 70 | * HeroicBSOD: Has one after [[spoiler:being defeated by Judar and having Ugo go on a berserk rampage]]. |
| 71 | * IAmWho: [[spoiler:He is Solomon's proxy. Or more specifically, his son.]] |
| 72 | * ImmuneToMindControl: [[spoiler:He's immune to the brainwashing Rukh that's part of Sinbad's new Sacred Palace system.]] |
| 73 | * InnocentBlueEyes: Does not even begin to understand why someone would want to do evil. |
| 74 | * InnocentProdigy: Is a spectacular magician, but would never use his magic to kill. |
| 75 | * KidAnova: The girls at the pleasure houses just love him, which causes Alibaba no end of resentment and jealousy. |
| 76 | * KidHero: Only 12, but is destined to lead the whole world into a better tomorrow. |
| 77 | * KungFuWizard: After his training at Magnostadt. |
| 78 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: With Morgiana. |
| 79 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: As the extras elaborate, Aladdin has slowly taken to [[spoiler:Kougyoku]] over his physical growth period, a sweet but feisty pink-haired girl. |
| 80 | * LittleStowaway: How he first meets Alibaba. |
| 81 | * LovableSexManiac: Despite being a child. He doesn't try to hide it at all. |
| 82 | * MagicalBarefooter: Goes around barefoot, a trait apparently associated to Magi, although in his case also reflects his childlike, laid back personality. |
| 83 | * MagicStaff: Several, with each one with a special meaning to him. |
| 84 | * MarshmallowHell: More like Marshmallow ''Heaven'' in Aladdin's case, since he loves boobs so much that he even invokes it with a ''fat guy'' at one point. |
| 85 | * MartialPacifist: Aladdin hates violence in all its capacity, and views all lives as valuable, but can and will fight when the situation demands it. That being said, he will still often use non-lethal methods of doing so, such as during Reim's invasion of Magnostadt, in which he simply pushes the Reim soldiers back, and pleads with them to just go home. |
| 86 | %%* MessianicArchetype |
| 87 | * MirrorCharacter: Aladdin and Judar: Both amazingly powerful magi, even with similar clothing schemes and hair, but Judar is the Dark Magi, Fallen into Depravity, through no choice of his own, simply because he was found by the villains of the series at infancy and Aladdin was protected. Nonetheless, after brutally fighting, with their chosen king candidates, fellow mirrors Alibaba and Hakuryuu, they team up at the end. |
| 88 | * MythologyGag: In the original tale and retellings, Aladdin's always fallen for a princess. [[spoiler:Kougyoku is a princess, and he's pretty close to her.]] Do the math. |
| 89 | * NaiveNewcomer: Shows shades of this at times. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that he spent a good chunk of his childhood locked up so he wouldn't know much about the outside world. |
| 90 | * NiceGuy: Unbelievably so, his final attack on most enemies is to try and turn them back to the light with Solomon's Wisdom. |
| 91 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: By taking a greater role as a Magi and trying to shift events on his own, he stumbles right into this. |
| 92 | ** [[spoiler:By showing to Judar that Al-Tharmen killed his family and has been using him since birth, Aladdin gave to Judar even ''more reasons'' to go further into the dark side and wanting to destroy everything; it's just that this time, he's not doing it ForTheEvulz, but for actual resentment against the world and his fate.]] |
| 93 | ** He reveals the history of Alma Torran at the summit. [[spoiler: Sinbad completely falls into depravity due to what he saw. This allows Davids plan to succeed and connect Solomons world to Ill Ilah by using Sinbad as his connection.]] |
| 94 | ** He pleads for [[spoiler: Kouen's]] life. [[spoiler: By bringing up Judar's "death" (as known by the cast but not the reader) and reminding Hakuryuu of his sins in killing his mother and threatening his siblings, Aladdin pushes Hakuryuu into a psychological corner and cements Kouen's execution.]] |
| 95 | * OlderThanHeLooks: He looks like a preteen, and biologically he is. [[spoiler:Chronologically he's a lot older since his aging was suspended for years while he was still a fetus.]] |
| 96 | * OmniscientHero: [[spoiler:The reason Al-Thamen wants to capture him. Thanks to "Solomon's Wisdom", he can interact with the Rukh to know everything]]. |
| 97 | * OneManArmy: During the war in Magnostadt, he reveals that he could probably destroy the entire Reim army by himself; but his moral code makes him completely unwilling to do this. |
| 98 | * PowerIncontinence: After taking the PowerLimiter out, to try to stop the Magnostadt vs. Reim Empire war, the Rukh started to flow slowly after months of not being used, but after a while Aladdin was given so much Magoi, that his body wasn't able to cope. |
| 99 | * PowerLimiter: When a student at the [[WizardingSchool Magnostadt Magic Academy]], to conceal his status as a Magi. |
| 100 | * PublicDomainCharacter: In name, at least. He otherwise has no relation to the [[WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}} more iconic version of Aladdin]]. |
| 101 | * RealityWarper: [[spoiler:He learned to use his father Solomon's magic to literally bend the fabric of time and space and break the laws of physics.]] |
| 102 | * {{Reincarnation}}: Of King Solomon's will at least, although Kouen's Djinns flat out refer to Aladdin as the actual reincarnation of their Great King. [[spoiler:However, he isn't really a reincarnation, he's Solomon's son. The Djinns treat him as Solomon's reincarnation because Ugo made the survivors of Alma Torran believe that Aladdin was Solomon's avatar (since as his son, Aladdin's Rukh is similar to Solomon's) in order to keep them united with a single guide.]] |
| 103 | * {{Sarashi}}: Part of his original clothing. Lost it after getting a BadassLongrobe in Magnostadt. |
| 104 | * ShipTease: After the TimeSkip, with [[spoiler:Kougyoku]]. |
| 105 | * ShoutOut: The original Aladdin had two Djinns in a lamp and a ring, not one in a flute. |
| 106 | * SignatureMove: [[PlayingWithFire Har-Har Infigar]]. |
| 107 | * SquishyWizard: At first, but after studying with Myers, who hates this trope, he becomes a KungFuWizard. |
| 108 | * StatusBuff: Sometimes. His magic is PlayingWithFire, whilst Alibaba's magic sword has FeedItWithFire properties. Do the math. |
| 109 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:He's identical to his father, Solomon. Although one manticore claims that he has his mother Sheba's eyes.]] |
| 110 | * SummonMagic: At first, his only ability with magic was summoning Ugo; after [[spoiler: Ugo vanishes]] he uses sand magic to summon giant golems that look like him. |
| 111 | * SuperpowerLottery: Magi have a large reserve of Magoi, and thus can use the Rukh endlessly. |
| 112 | * SupportingProtagonist: Has shades of this, to Alibaba. |
| 113 | * SwordAndSorcerer: The Sorcerer to Alibaba's [[HeroesPreferSwords Sword]]. |
| 114 | * SympathyForTheDevil: His main way of dealing with villains is to make them see the error of their ways. [[spoiler: He even does this to Ithnan, though it was just a side effect of forcing him to show Al-Thamen's goals.]] |
| 115 | * ThouShaltNotKill: He wants to stop wars without sending a soul back to the Rukh. |
| 116 | * TokenWholesome: Averted, Alibaba and Morgiana share his strong moral code, but it's Aladdin who first gets them to believe in others. |
| 117 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:First he obtains the "Solomon's Wisdom" which with his abilities makes him TheOmniscient. Then he keeps leveling up after he becomes a student at the [[WizardingSchool Magnostadt Magic Academy]] with a PowerLimiter on him.]] |
| 118 | * TragicKeepsake: |
| 119 | ** [[spoiler:Ugo's now-empty flute and Baba's staff.]] |
| 120 | ** [[spoiler:After Baba's staff was destroyed and Mogamett died, Aladdin wields his staff.]] |
| 121 | ** His use of sand magic. It was the magic of [[spoiler: Princess Dunya]] who died after he became friends with her. |
| 122 | * WarriorPrince: [[spoiler:He's the prince of the ancient kingdom of Alma Toran.]] |
| 123 | * WhiteMage: Even though he has offensive magic in his arsenal, what makes Aladdin special is Solomon's Wisdom and strong connection with white Rukh. He generally uses his powers to heal and protect rather than stage attacks. |
| 124 | * WideEyedIdealist: Really wants the world to stop having wars and to end human suffering. |
| 125 | * WiseBeyondHisYears: Started the manga as a kid with SimpleMindedWisdom, but grows up to be very wise, after being reborn as a Magi and gaining Solomon's Wisdom. |
| 126 | %%* TheWisePrince |
| 127 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: To Alibaba. |
| 128 | -->'''Aladdin:''' "I don't think so... You're brave! I've known that from the day I met you. [...] Despite your reasons, you still believed in yourself. As long as you do that, you're fine! That's not something a coward could do. So I know you're really brave. Really brave! I respect you, ''[[ThePowerOfFriendship my best friend!]]''" |

| 132 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/171933.jpg]] |
| 133 | |
| 134 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YuukiKaji (Japanese), Creator/MutsumiTamura (child, Japanese), Creator/ErikKimerer (English) |
| 135 | |
| 136 | One of the two main protagonists of the series alongside Aladdin. He meets Aladdin while in charge of a caravan and decides to go travelling with him. He is also the third prince of Balbadd and the king's illegitimate son, and fled the city after a major disaster at the castle that he was responsible for. Aged 17 at the beginning of the story. |
| 137 | ---- |
| 138 | * AbsurdlySharpBlade: The blade can cut through steel and monsters with ease. Justified, because his sword Amon is a metal vessel with magic powers. |
| 139 | * AdaptationDyeJob: When he performs his Djinn Equip his hair and eyes turn red like flames, but in the anime it barely changes color, it just appears that his golden hair and eyes become barely a bit more "''orangeish''". |
| 140 | * AllLovingHero: |
| 141 | -->"No matter what you did wrong... [[RousseauWasRight it is impossible for a person to become trash while he lives.]] If there people like that around the world, [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre I want to try to stop them.]]" |
| 142 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Alibaba's soul is currently separated from his body, and he lived for one hundred years in another dimension as an entity made only of ''his own consciousness.'']] |
| 143 | * AwesomeButImpractical: Amon's sword, at first, since [[{{BFS}} its large size]] makes wielding it cumbersome and inefficient in Magoi consumption. He wins most of his fights by abusing AbsurdlySharpBlade properties to its conclusion. |
| 144 | * BadassAdorable: Don't let his HumbleHero demeanor fool you, this page is full of examples. [[spoiler: Most recently, he survived being forcibly ejected from his body and successfully reconstituted himself into a form composed only of his own consciousness. The only other people known to have done this were members of Al-Thamen - magicians from Alma Toran who knew Solomon personally and benefited from his teachings. Alibaba did it on his own, and was able to return within the span of a few weeks from the standpoint of the world he left.]] |
| 145 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Archie to Morgiana's Betty and Kougyoku's Veronica. And also the Betty to Hakuryuu's Veronica and Morgiana's Archie. |
| 146 | * {{BFS}}: When Amon is properly equipped. |
| 147 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Has shades of this towards Aladdin, and later also towards [[spoiler:Olba once he becomes a part of Alibaba's Household.]] |
| 148 | * BigDamnHeroes: In Chapter 176. [[spoiler:He stopped Mu's attack with Amon's sword, saving Aladdin's life]]. He's really progressed in this as well--saving entire cities in the nick of time has become a recurring theme with him. [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter Still not as much as Sinbad though.]] |
| 149 | * BlatantLies: No, he not jealous of [[spoiler:Toto and Olba's budding relationship]]. |
| 150 | * ButtMonkey: It's not just his state after Elizabeth and Margaret. The whole of Chapter 122 is even ''dedicated'' to it. And then Chapters 200 to 204 play with it ''again''. |
| 151 | * CainAndAbel: Though the two aren't actually blood related, he is the Abel to Cassim's Cain. Even with all that happened between Cassim and him, Alibaba never stopped considering him a close friend and loving him as a brother. |
| 152 | * CameBackStrong: [[spoiler: Averted in that he didn't exactly die, but in a world where the dead can always be consulted with through the rukh, he was in an ''even worse situation.'' Three years after the time skip, he makes it back with enhanced powers of concentration. Even more than that, Alibaba seems to have grown emotionally. He easily accepts Sinbad as a BigBadFriend, and then talks Kyogyoku into making him her Prime Minister. Even Sinbad appears to be surprised by Alibaba's new leadership qualities. He hasn't retrieved Amon's sword yet, so time will tell if he has gained more proficiency with his Djinni Equip.]] |
| 153 | * CantCatchUp: Alibaba is constantly meeting new friends or foes who are much stronger than him at first. Though post-timeskip, he has begun to break out of this habit. His reunion with Aladdin has him [[spoiler:block the blade of Reim's leading general, that could have potentially destroyed an entire city.]] |
| 154 | * ChickMagnet: He was able to bring out the ''dere'' of at least three different girls who were originally ''[[{{Kuudere}} kuu]]'' and ''[[{{Tsundere}} tsun]]'' towards him. Not that he [[CluelessChickMagnet notices it]]. |
| 155 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Hassan, Zaynab and also with Mariam and Cassim obviously. |
| 156 | * ChivalrousPervert: He is ''just'' as bad as Aladdin, if not more so, and acts as his enabler. He loves going to the pleasure houses. [[ButtMonkey He just isn't as lucky as Aladdin, though]]. |
| 157 | * TheChosenOne: It's revealed that Aladdin has selected him to be his candidate for King. In the final arc, everyone else offers to give up their vessels to make Alibaba the True King, but [[RefusalOfTheCall he refuses the offer]]. |
| 158 | * CombatPragmatist: Perfectly willing to dominate an opponent with magic rather than a swordfight, when he's pressed for time. |
| 159 | -->"Sorry, but I'm not fooling around." |
| 160 | * ConflictingLoyalty: Kouen and Koumei force him to choose between his loyalty to his homeland Balbadd and his loyalty to Sindria by [[spoiler:offering him authority over Balbadd if he cuts his ties with Sindria and marries into the Ren royal family.]] |
| 161 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Blond hair with... blond eyes? |
| 162 | * CutenessProximity: In Chapter 203, when considering if [[spoiler:Morgiana loves him, when he goes to see her he can't even ''look'' at her, because she looks so cute to him.]] |
| 163 | * DesperatelyCravesAffection: He eventually grows desperate for a girlfriend. |
| 164 | * {{Determinator}}: Once he gathers his resolve, he won't stop until he's accomplished his goal. |
| 165 | * EmptyShell: [[spoiler:After being stricken by Hakuryuu's scythe, his spirit was ejected from his body and thrown into another dimension. ]] |
| 166 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he yells at the wine merchant and chooses to save the little girl from the Desert Hyacinth instead of the goods. This was also the moment that cemented Alibaba's image in Aladdin's mind. |
| 167 | %%* FashionableAsymmetry |
| 168 | * FatalFlaw: Alibaba's lack of confidence, especially in the Balbadd arc, made him indecisive about helping his people and trying to stand up to his older brother. |
| 169 | * FirstNameBasis: Uses ([[{{Honorifics}} unadorned]]) first names with people he considers good friends, see: Aladdin, Morgiana, Cassim, Hakuryuu and Kougyoku. |
| 170 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: [[spoiler:Mother Dragon took three entire years to bring Alibaba's soul back to his body. When Alibaba returns he's utterly shocked by how ridiculously advanced civilization became in only 3 years, such as now having airships and futuristic cities.]] |
| 171 | * FlashBackEcho: Every time he encounters a situation that is reminiscent of the Balbadd ordeal. |
| 172 | * GoldFever: Started with this as a byproduct of his past in poverty. The motivation to go DungeonCrawling. |
| 173 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Has the hair color and [[AllLovingHero personality type]], though he's far from innocent. |
| 174 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:In the anime, all his rage against Ithnan, plus the curse ''plus'' having to relive with Dunya the whole Cassim situation, make him kill Ithnan]]. |
| 175 | * HearingVoices: In the anime, he was the one bit by Ithnan's snake and was cursed earlier; the curse starts moving after seeing Hakuryuu's face and starts hearing voices motivating him to hate him. |
| 176 | * TheHeart: [[spoiler:His supposed death]] shows it the best. Things didn't really start to go down until he is gone from the picture. |
| 177 | %% * HeroesPreferSwords: Though he has a knife at first. |
| 178 | * HeroicBastard: He was born out of wedlock. |
| 179 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: He's a bit low on self-confidence. When Sinbad [[spoiler:tells him that he's going to be king]], he immediately backs off saying that "he's not meant for something like that." Although at one point Aladdin manages to encourage him, he still feels doubtful sometimes later on. |
| 180 | * HiddenBadass: Shows he has actual fighting skill when dueling with Jamil. |
| 181 | * HopeSpot: After all this time wanting a girlfriend, he thought that Morgiana's "I want to be with you forever-" words were a confession. Actually she meant "-as a member of your household". He turned into an oozing, blubbering mess, acting like a hurt wild animal because facing his mistake hurt more than he could handle. |
| 182 | * IdiotHair: With a particularly thick, triangular point. |
| 183 | * ImmuneToMindControl: [[spoiler:Having died and resurrected outside Sinbad's new system in the Sacred Palace made him immune to his mind control.]] |
| 184 | * IneffectualLoner: Tries to solve most of his problems on his own, but he becomes lost and confused without his friends support. |
| 185 | * InelegantBlubbering: After finally becoming 'the man he was expected to be', he's crying streams of tears and looks totally silly and childish. |
| 186 | * InLoveWithLove: He's absolutely desperate for a girl to fall in love with him and become his girlfriend. Any pretty girl will do, as long as they can be a cute couple together. Even Judar lampshades his desperation to have a girlfriend in an omake. |
| 187 | * InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:With Morgiana. The Fanalis are anything but human.]] |
| 188 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 189 | ** The woman [[BlatantLies he claimed he was lovers with]] fell in love with the younger, little brother figure that he tried to impress with said lie. |
| 190 | ** [[spoiler:So far, everything that happened to him post TimeSkip is essentially a long streak of irony. The first big thing he does after his return is essentially getting a position of authority in the Kou Empire, before offering the former crown prince a position in the country.]] |
| 191 | * ItWasAGift: Another huge ShipTease-y moment, Alibaba gives a beautiful necklace to Morgiana. |
| 192 | * IWantToBeARealMan: Desperately wants to prove himself to Sinbad, and get a girlfriend. |
| 193 | * IWillWaitForYou: Since Morgiana doesn't know how to act and react like a lovestruck girl, she asks him to teach her more about romance and wait until she's ready to respond to his feelings. He accepts and [[spoiler: when he returns three years later Morgiana accepts his feelings.]] |
| 194 | * JackOfAllStats: A little, video game based illustration on one early volume, shows Alibaba with balanced HP and MP of 500 each, contrasting [[SquishyWizard endless MP but 500 HP's Aladdin]] and [[LightningBruiser 8100 HP]] but just 81 MP's Morgiana. |
| 195 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Initially comes off as being smug but soon proves his kindness by [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules choosing to save a little girl over protecting the goods in his caravan]]. Now though, after he's debt-free, he's a full blown AllLovingHero NiceGuy. |
| 196 | * KiManipulation: Is able to use them after his training with the Yambala Gladiators. |
| 197 | * TheKnightsWhoSaySquee: Alibaba used to be (and still is, to a large extent) a huge Sinbad-fanboy. Now he's a dungeon conqueror and king's candidate in his own right. |
| 198 | * LeeroyJenkins: Pulls one of these in Balbadd, to Sinbad's surprise. |
| 199 | * LonelyRichKid: When he moved to the palace, Alibaba was very lonely since everyone kept distance from him because of his position as the king's bastard child and his father didn't have much time to spend with him. |
| 200 | * LoveRevelationEpiphany: After Olba tells him Morgiana has feelings for him, Alibaba starts seeing her in a new light and realizes that Morgiana is a really cute girl. He even accepts her "confession" and is crushed when Morgiana tells him she wanted to be by his side "as member of his household". But he accepts to slowly teach her about romance and wait for her to be ready to correspond his feelings. |
| 201 | * MagicKnight: After getting Amon's sword, which he combines with fire magic. |
| 202 | * ManipulativeBastard: According to to Hakuryuu, Alibaba unconsciously attempts to manipulate and use other people's feelings to his advantage in order to make them do things he wanted or agree with his beliefs, as mentioned in the ReasonYouSuckSpeech leading up to their disastrous fight. Since he's returned back to his body he has now consciously used it to his advantage, playing on Sinbad's emotions to make him extend the deadline for Kou's debts in order to help Kougyoku and the Kou Empire. |
| 203 | * ManOnFire: Alibaba has to deal with this at first with his Djinn equip. He doesn't seem to be hurt by the flames at all though. |
| 204 | * MarryForLove: When Kouen and Koumei say they want him to marry one of their sisters as part of his alliance to them, Alibaba says he can't get married like that while recalling Morgiana and his promise to always be with her. Koumei then suggests that if Alibaba has a special someone he can make her one of his concubines, but Alibaba finds that dishonorable. Though he never brings it up specifically, this attitude is likely spawned from the realization of the hardships his parents faced because his father was a king and his mother the low class mistress, despite his father's genuine feelings for her. When he learned this, he decided he didn't want to repeat his father's mistake. |
| 205 | * MasterSwordsman: He has some serious skill with a knife or shortsword. |
| 206 | * MirrorCharacter: |
| 207 | ** Cassim and Alibaba were childhood friends who grew up on the same streets, both taking comfort in Alibaba's mother. When Alibaba returns to Balbaad while Aladdin is working to find his way back to him, Alibaba joins Cassim's gang to upend the social structure in the country, as Cassim needs his light and heart, as well as Alibaba's royal lineage. |
| 208 | ** Alibaba and Hakuryuu are likewise mirrors as princes of their countries who were so far down the line of succession they were never expected to take the throne, but who were chosen by magi as king candidates and conquered dungeons with the help of their friends. |
| 209 | * ModestRoyalty: He's a prince, but he never brings it up or flaunts it in any way. |
| 210 | * MustMakeAmends: He wants to become stronger enough to get Balbadd back to its former glory, since he still feels guilty for the robbery of the national treasury, the people's misery and [[spoiler:Cassim's fall into depravity and death]]. |
| 211 | * MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler: His failure to keep Balbadd free and sovereign]]. |
| 212 | * NakedPeopleAreFunny: Pretty much all his nudity is played for laughs. |
| 213 | ** While checking out his wounds during the Balbadd arc, Alibaba ends up in a very awkward position just in time for Morgiana to walk in and get an eyeful of his entire exposed lower half. Both of them end up screaming in horror. |
| 214 | ** Alibaba passes out drunk on a ship for Reim and wakes up completely naked, having been robbed. |
| 215 | * NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Was about to use his "Extreme Magic" for the first time against [[spoiler:30 Black Djinns]] but missed his chance [[spoiler:when Kouen appeared in a BigDamnHeroes moment.]] |
| 216 | * NiceGuy: While at first, he is more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, he ends up becoming a much nicer person. |
| 217 | * NotBloodSiblings: With Mariam and Cassim, after Anise adopted them. |
| 218 | * ObliviousToLove: He fails to notice Morgiana's feelings for him. After a chat with Olba he starts putting two and two together. |
| 219 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: After eventually returning in the timeskip and finding the others, Morgiana finally reciprocates his feelings and the two even decide to get married.]] |
| 220 | * OneHeadTaller: Than Morgiana. Changed in the anime, making Alibaba look shorter than in the manga. |
| 221 | * OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler: Although his physical body has died, Judar ends up encountering Alibaba's pill-shaped consciousness after arriving in Alma Torran. Alibaba spent over 100 years in another dimension before Judar found him.]] |
| 222 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Alibaba's feelings when in Sindria. |
| 223 | * PetTheDog: We first see Alibaba as just a petty, greedy caravan driver. Then he puts HonorBeforeReason to save a little girl by sacrificing his client's precious cargo instead and we see that he will be one of our heroes. |
| 224 | * PlayingWithFire: Obtains a Fire Djinn named Amon after conquering his first dungeon with Aladdin. |
| 225 | ** FlamingSword |
| 226 | * PowerMakesYourHairGrow: When performing his Djinn Equip his hair grows and is tied in two loose hair tails. |
| 227 | * ProfessionalButtKisser: Used to be one as a caravan driver. |
| 228 | * RagsToRoyalty: He was raised at the slums with his mother working as a prostitute. Shortly after his mother's death, the king revealed to Alibaba that he was his father and brought him to live at the palace. Unfortunately, Cassim entered the palace through a secret tunnel Alibaba used to escape and stole its treasures. Feeling guilty, Alibaba ran away and ended up working to pay off debts. |
| 229 | * ReallyRoyaltyReveal: In the manga it occurs quite early, when he was battling Jamil in Amon's dungeon, while the anime keeps the whole deal surrounded by mystery until Alibaba tells Aladdin and Morgiana about his childhood. |
| 230 | * RebelLeader: Temporarily leads LaResistance against the king of Balbadd during the first six month time skip. Actually, he was just TheFace since Cassim was the one who made most of the decisions. |
| 231 | * RoyalBastard: Alibaba is the illegitimate son of King Rashid and his maid, Anise. Alibaba didn't know anything about this until his mother died and the king came to retrieve him from the slums. |
| 232 | * TheRunaway: Ran away from the palace after a certain incident. |
| 233 | * RunningGag: A lot of people joke about his unpopularity with girls. |
| 234 | * ScarsAreForever: His left arm bears the teeth marks from when a carnivorous ape tried to bite his arm off. |
| 235 | * ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules: Money doesn't really motivate him as much as he would like people to believe. |
| 236 | * SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: He says Toto is his girlfriend, but the following chapter reveals that it was a huge lie. |
| 237 | * ShoutOut: The original Alibaba did have a brother named Cassim, who had a slave called Morgiana. |
| 238 | * SmarterThanYouLook: Much to his chagrin. |
| 239 | * SmokingIsCool: He seems to think so, as he tries to catch the habit of smoking but can't do it without coughing his lungs out yet. [[spoiler:After Cassim's Rukh fused with his and took a few of his tracts he keeps trying to smoke, but is still unable to do it.]] |
| 240 | * SonOfAWhore: Alibaba's mother was King Rashid's maid until she left the castle after becoming pregnant with him and moved to the slums where she worked as a prostitute. |
| 241 | * StreetSmart: More apparent in the beginning of the series, in contrast to Aladdin's lack of common-sense. |
| 242 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: While he is not a clone of his mother, like Hakuryuu and Hakuei are, he does look a lot like Anise. ''Sinbad's Adventures'' reveals he also took a lot from his father, mostly his {{Ahoge}}. |
| 243 | * SuperReflexes: [[spoiler: When Alibaba comes back he displays the ability to slow down time (at least, in his mind), and dodge or counter anything that's thrown at him. Yunan speculates Alibaba got this power by experiencing an extremely prolonged moment of death - which is said to slow down time to the point where your whole life flashes before your eyes. As evidence of this theory, Yunan believes Alibaba's subjective 100 years time spent in another dimension couldn't have been longer than one or two days.]] |
| 244 | * SwordAndSorcerer: The Sword to Aladdin's Sorcerer. |
| 245 | * ThisIsUnforgivable: Alibaba says this when [[spoiler:he discovers that Sinbad has been using Kougyoku as his unwitting spy.]] |
| 246 | * TookALevelInBadass: He finally masters his full Djinn equip in Reim, and reveals it in Chapter 181. Alibaba's also a match for the greatest swordsman in Reim, [[spoiler: and survived his soul being separated from his body.]] |
| 247 | * TragicKeepsake: [[spoiler:Alibaba ends up wearing Cassim's earrings after his death]]. |
| 248 | * TroubledButCute: His past is pretty heavy and things aren't really looking up for his future. |
| 249 | * TroubledFetalPosition: PlayedForLaughs, he does this after finding out about [[spoiler:Olba and Toto's marriage and kids]]. |
| 250 | * VirginShaming: Koumei teases him about this only to realize, oops, he's right; Alibaba has never even touched a woman, let alone had a girlfriend. Kouen [[NotSoStoic finds it hilarious]]. |
| 251 | %% VitriolicBestBuds: With Hakuryuu. |
| 252 | * WarriorPrince: Third prince of Balbadd from an affair. |
| 253 | * WeakButSkilled: In the early parts of the series Alibaba was just a normal, if not skilled in sword fighting, human. He had to rely on his wits and strategy until he began understanding Amon's powers. [[TookALevelInBadass Now a days not so much.]] |
| 254 | * WhyCantIHateYou: While [[spoiler:trying to decide what side of his ConflictingLoyalty to choose]], he admits that if Kougyoku were as despicable as her brothers, it would be easier, but he can't hate her because she's his friend and she's quite the WideEyedIdealist. |
| 255 | * WideEyedIdealist: He's very idealistic and believes that only with goodness can the world change; but when faced with examples of the morally ambiguous things that a king needs to do in order to protect his country, he's horrified. |
| 256 | * WiseBeyondHisYears: His rough life made him this. Umm Madaura even says that he, Aladdin and Morgiana, despite their age, already had the mind of adults. It's implied that this is one of the reasons Alladin made him his King's Candidate, as Alibaba is wise for how young he is. |
| 257 | * YankTheDogsChain: Barely a couple of chapters after he accepts to wait for Morgiana after her confession, he is then blackmailed into [[spoiler:an ArrangedMarriage with Kougyoku]]. |
| 258 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: Resolves to say this to whomever may need to hear it, since he firmly believes that this is the truth. Though he sometimes ends up being told this by his loved ones too. |
| 259 | * YouNeedToGetLaid: Everyone seems to be worried about his lack of a love life. His childhood friends, his mentors, his friends... And Ohtaka just enjoys ''[[ButtMonkey playing]]'' with it. |

| 264 | |
| 265 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HarukaTomatsu (Japanese), Creator/CristinaValenzuela (English) |
| 266 | |
| 267 | The barefoot deuteragonist of the series. At the start, she is one of Jamil's slaves. She is originally from the Dark Continent and a member of the Fanalis Tribe. Aladdin and Alibaba help to free her from captivity and she eventually reunites with them after a six-month time skip. Aged 14 at the beginning of the story. She is a very smart and quiet girl. |
| 268 | ---- |
| 269 | * ActionGirl: ''The'' genuine article, too. An average size girl, but with titanic strength, power, and fighting ability. |
| 270 | * ACupAngst: Hinted to suffer from this because of a certain CovertPervert. Though her current appearance in the manga suggests her breasts are now large. |
| 271 | -->'''Pisti:''' I wonder why guys [[BuxomBeautyStandard like such flabby women...]] |
| 272 | -->'''Morgiana:''' Yes...I wonder... |
| 273 | ** The anime subverts this, as her tone was more of confusion than sad. |
| 274 | * AdaptationDyeJob: A minor case; the anime gives her a more pinkish hair and eye color than the "Fanalis Red" in the manga. Since Masrur also has the same coloring as her, it is possible that the production team decided to use that shade instead... ''but'' the "Fanalis Corps" do have the same shade of red as in the manga. |
| 275 | * AffectionateNickName: Aladdin calls her "Mor". |
| 276 | * BadassAdorable: She starts as a cute 14-year-old girl, who can easily one-shot giant, man-eating, poisonous tigers. |
| 277 | * BarefootPoverty: She starts out barefoot due to being a slave. Subverted, as even after being freed, despite a couple scenes with shoes, she still elects to go barefoot for the rest of the story. As a KickChick with super powerful limbs, any shoes she ''did'' wear would probably just get destroyed within minutes of entering a fight. She hits hard with her bare feet |
| 278 | * BeautifulSlaveGirl: She was one of Jamil's slaves since childhood, which plays heavily into her CharacterDevelopment and DefrostingIceQueen status. Pretty much everyone mentions how cute she is upon meeting her, including Alibaba and Aladdin, who referred to her as Pretty Big Sis, before learning her name. |
| 279 | * BeautifulTears: Hakuryuu and Alibaba think Morgiana is the cutest girl in the world when they see her shedding TearsOfJoy. |
| 280 | * BelatedLoveEpiphany: [[spoiler: In chapter 281, Morgiana admits to Hakuryuu that she realized she is in love with Alibaba after he died and she thought she lost him forever. Fortunately, he comes back and they decide to get married.]] |
| 281 | * BerserkButton: No wonder her hair is red. She has several of them. |
| 282 | ** Slavery. It's a delayed fuse with her, but when it goes off, you better be on another continent... |
| 283 | ** Another one is [[IWorkAlone people refusing help and stubbornly doing everything alone.]] Probably because it reminds her of [[TheFatalist her old self.]] |
| 284 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Archie to Alibaba's Betty and Hakuryuu's Veronica. |
| 285 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: She doesn't have much patience for what she considers idiocy, and her fighting abilities are on par with Aladdin and Alibaba, even without much magic. |
| 286 | * BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:In Chapter 194]]. |
| 287 | * BigSisterInstinct: She's very protective of Aladdin. Messing with him is one of [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]]. |
| 288 | * BreakingTheBonds: |
| 289 | * BreakoutCharacter: Possibly one of the most well-recognized characters in the series. |
| 290 | * {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler:Her Rukh is changed by Sinbad under his new system. Although she does want to aid Alibaba and Aladdin, she is unable to go against Sinbad and his desire for everyone to return to Rukh. She eventually knocks herself out of it, and helps during the final battle.]] |
| 291 | * BridalCarry: Her favorite method for carrying people. Needless to say, first-time male carry-ees were feeling a bit awkward. She does this rather frequently to Alibaba. |
| 292 | * BrokenBird: Was broken into being something of an EmotionlessGirl, due to years of being beaten by Jamil while under captivity. She eventually starts to show signs of recovery. |
| 293 | * TheBusCameBack: In Chapter 194. {{Lampshaded}} by the end of chapter credits. |
| 294 | -->"The moment the whole world has been waiting for! Morgiana is back!" |
| 295 | * ChainPain: Her [[spoiler: Household Vessel is a]] pair of chains connecteted to the anklets she wears in her feet. |
| 296 | * CharacterDevelopment: Eventually moves past the years of fear slavery brought her, in order to help a girl being made into one. This starts her DefrostingIceQueen status. |
| 297 | * CharacterTics: She usually puffs up her cheeks or stomps her bare feet on the ground (and breaks it, by the way) when mad or [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]]. |
| 298 | * ChasteHeroine: She's very inexperienced when it comes to romance. She admits that she doesn't really understand how a romantic relationship is supposed to work, since while she was a slave she never considered such things. It could be one of the reasons she isn't able to recognize what her feelings towards Alibaba really are. |
| 299 | * ClingyJealousGirl: She gets really mad at the sight of Alibaba flirting with another girl, [[ShipTease for obvious reasons]]. |
| 300 | * CommitmentIssues: Her inexperience with romance makes her notably awkward when it comes to entering in a serious relationship. She freaks out to the point of tears when [[spoiler:Hakuryuu]] suddenly proposes to her, and later tells [[spoiler:Alibaba]] that she doesn't feel like she knows enough about love and relationships to become anyone's girlfriend, so he should give her some time. |
| 301 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Red hair with red eyes. |
| 302 | * CuteBruiser: Unbelievably cute, unbelievably strong. |
| 303 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was enslaved at a young age, and spent YEARS of Jamil physically and mentally breaking her into an obedient and near emotionless slave. |
| 304 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Slowly warms up to strangers and becomes more willing to express her feelings. |
| 305 | * {{Determinator}}: What Morgiana becomes. It culminates in her breaking out of her supposedly unbreakable cuffs through sheer strength to save a little girl. |
| 306 | * DissonantSerenity: The first time she activated her Household Vessel, she [[HeroicRROD burned through her body's supply of Magoi]]. She's smiling and happy that she can finally be useful to the group... while blood is streaming [[TearsOfBlood from her eyes]] and [[BloodFromTheMouth mouth]]. |
| 307 | * EffortlessAmazonianLift: She is capable of carrying several people at once, even adult men much bigger than her. Though this trope is particularly used as a RunningGag, as the person she bridal carries more often is Alibaba. |
| 308 | * ElementalHairColors: She has red hair, along with a fire-based [[spoiler:household vessel.]] |
| 309 | * EmotionlessGirl: She comes off this way, due to being broken by Jamil. She has feelings, they're just buried. She's gradually loosened up and lost her emotional distance thanks to CharacterDevelopment and ThePowerOfFriendship. It's actually a bit more pronounced in the anime. In the manga, for example, her face turns red in humiliation when Aladdin and Alibaba first see the chains on her ankles denoting her as a slave. She does still try to cover up the chains in the anime, but looks a lot less embarrassed over them. |
| 310 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After TheBusCameBack, her hair has grown much longer. |
| 311 | * FashionableAsymmetry: But just with her hair. Thought she wears some type of net leg warmers that go from her knees to her ankles after she is free from the chains in her feet |
| 312 | * FriendToAllChildren: Very sweet, gentle and kind towards children, who are amongst the few things that can make her smile. |
| 313 | * HerHeartWillGoOn: [[spoiler:Alibaba's death made Morgiana realize she was in love with him. She's clearly affected by his loss and she blames herself for his death, but she still has decided to live on for him. Luckily for her, Alibaba comes back alive and she becomes a couple with him.]] |
| 314 | * HeroicRROD: [[spoiler:Activating her household vessel took almost all the Magoi she had inside her (and it isn't much, by the way) and she was on the verge of death because of it]]. |
| 315 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Despite having saved Aladdin and Alibaba in millions other desperate situations, she seems to genuinely feel useless whenever she's unable to do something with the situation, even though it might not be her fault at all. |
| 316 | * HeroWorshipper: To Aladdin and Alibaba. She even refers to them as ''"her two heroes"''. |
| 317 | * InASingleBound: She can jump so hard and high, that it looks like she's gliding. |
| 318 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: [[spoiler:She unwittingly destroyed Alibaba's hopes of finding a girlfriend in her when she says that she wanted to be by his side "as member of his household"]]. She learned her mistake and made something for it. See IWillWaitForYou in Alibaba's section. |
| 319 | * InterspeciesRomance: [[spoiler:With Alibaba. As a Fanalis, her real form is a Red Lion, the second most powerful species of Alma Torran.]] |
| 320 | * IOweYouMyLife: She feels this way towards Aladdin and Alibaba. |
| 321 | * ItsAllMyFault: [[spoiler:She blames herself for Hakuryuu's fall into depravity and Alibaba's death, as she believes that if she had stopped Hakuryuu when he left the group, they could have avoided all the bad things that happened later.]] |
| 322 | * ItWasAGift: Another huge ShipTease-y moment, Alibaba gives a beautiful necklace to Morgiana. |
| 323 | * KickChick: Powerful limbs are a speciality of her race. |
| 324 | %%* KubrickStare |
| 325 | %%* LethalChef |
| 326 | * LightningBruiser: Her speed is second to none, and she's the strongest physical hitter in the group bar none. |
| 327 | * LikeBrotherAndSister: With Aladdin. They act like a protective older sister and her cute little brother. |
| 328 | * MagicallyIneptFighter: Morgiana is a super strong girl with amazing martial arts ability, but almost no magic ability at all. [[spoiler: Using her Household Vessel to its full power nearly kills her. After training with Yunan, she is now able to use it.]] |
| 329 | * MagicSkirt: And thank goodness too, considering all of those high, acrobatic kicks she is doing; she obviously isn't wearing ''anything'' beneath any of her outfits. |
| 330 | * MartialArtistsAreAlwaysBarefoot: She fights solely with her hands and feet, and keeps both of them bare at all times. Justified due to her race having superhuman toughness. |
| 331 | * MementoMacguffin: Her old slave chains. |
| 332 | * NiceGirl: Consistently described by the rest of the cast as a caring and kind girl who always stands by those who are less fortunate. |
| 333 | * NoSocialSkills: Because of being a slave since she was a little girl, Morgiana isn't aware of social norms. This usually results in awkward moments for her and those around her. |
| 334 | * TheNoseKnows: She can track any of her acquaintances through scent alone. In one omake, she even described some of the main characters' scents. |
| 335 | * NotSoStoic: The few times she shows her genuine emotions just hit that much harder. |
| 336 | * ObliviousToLove: She doesn't notice Hakuryuu's feelings for her until he proposes marriage to her and kisses her. |
| 337 | * OfficialCouple: [[spoiler: Reciprocates Alibaba's feelings when he returns three years later and the two decide to get married.]] |
| 338 | * OneWomanArmy: Most of her fights have been against large groups of people, animals, and monsters; all of which she effortlessly destroys. |
| 339 | * OutOfFocus: With the whole trouble between the heroes and Al-Thamen, and between Sindria and the Kou Empire; Aladdin and Alibaba get the most screentime, whilst she gets downplayed as their primordial support. |
| 340 | * PerpetualFrowner: Her default expression is serious and more than a bit sour. More from sadness than rage, though. |
| 341 | %%* PillarsOfMoralCharacter |
| 342 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: She is a lot stronger than her size would lead you to believe. |
| 343 | * PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Her household vessel, Amol Seisera.]] |
| 344 | * PrefersGoingBarefoot: Even after she isn't a slave anymore, she goes barefoot by choice of herself. |
| 345 | * ProudWarriorRaceGirl: ''[[BadassCreed I am a conqueror of the Dark Continents. I am stronger than any other.... For I hail from the Mightiest Warrior Tribe of All; The Fanalis!!]]" |
| 346 | * PutOnABus: After leaving for her home country, she hasn't been seen for a while. |
| 347 | * TheQuietOne: She isn't one for talking a lot, but when she does, its almost always important. |
| 348 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes are always red, which should tell you plenty. |
| 349 | * RedheadsAreRavishing: Morgiana has the trademark red hair of the Fanalis Tribe. She's introduced as a BeautifulSlaveGirl, and becomes a love interest to Alibaba and Hakuryuu. |
| 350 | * SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: [[spoiler:It's eventually revealed that she and the entire Fanalis clan are actually Red Lions, a powerful species from Alma Torran. It's also noted how if she so chose, Morgiana could return to her real form, but at the cost of never being able to see her friends again. Needless to say, she has no desire to become a Red Lion forever.]] |
| 351 | * SheCleansUpNicely: Alibaba barely recognized her when she put on different clothes during a celebration at Sindira. |
| 352 | * SherlockScan: She's good at reading a situation and seeing the best way to utilize her strength. In Zagan's dungeon, she noticed that even though the golem's armor was too hard for her to destroy with kicks alone, they could be broken with something just as hard. |
| 353 | * SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She's attracted to [[AllLovingHero Alibaba's]] [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules best]] [[YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre traits]]. |
| 354 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Morgiana, Morgianna, Moljiana or just "Foot Fetish Fuel"? |
| 355 | * StayInTheKitchen: Tried on her a couple of times, but it never sticks. |
| 356 | * TheStoic: She is almost always seen with a passive expression, but this is more because of her upbringing than any lack of emotion. |
| 357 | * StrongAndSkilled: Morgiana's inhuman strength and martial arts ability make her a formidable combatant. [[spoiler:She becomes even more capable after learning to use her Household Vessel]]. |
| 358 | * SubordinateExcuse: It's hinted that Morgiana has feelings for Alibaba, and that's the real reason why she sticks with him even though she's not necessarily obligated to do so. [[spoiler: She eventually drops this once they finally get together.]] |
| 359 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: Morgiana is very stoic, but she's a truly sweet and kind person at heart. |
| 360 | * SuperDrowningSkills: She's unable to swim. Something Aladdin mistakenly believes might be a racial trait. |
| 361 | * SuperScream: She can scream in the ultrasonic range, making most animals flee from the high-pitched noise. |
| 362 | * SuperSpeed: Her speed is off the charts, and she has saved Aladdin and Alibaba and a whole bunch of others countless times with it. |
| 363 | * SuperStrength: All Fanalis are unbelievably strong, fast and durable. |
| 364 | * SuperStrongChild: She is able to easily keep up with Aladdin and Alibaba, even without much magic ability. |
| 365 | * TearsOfBlood: [[spoiler: After [[HeroicRROD overusing her Household Vessel]].]] |
| 366 | * TenderTears: When Alibaba tells her he wants her to [[spoiler: stay with him his whole life, she cries TearsOfJoy that nearly cause Alibaba to explode from how cute they make her]]. |
| 367 | * TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to training from Yunan, Morgiana can now use her [[spoiler: Household Vessel]] without overusing her magoi. Heck, she can even use it to fly! [[spoiler:She takes another one during the 2nd time skip by training with her people - the Red Lions of the Dark Rift. When she comes back to help Aladdin fight, she is able to challenge Arba to single combat and come out on top.]] |
| 368 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: She seems to prefer fish dishes. |
| 369 | * TrappedInVillainy: Morgiana willingly goes along with Jamil's requests no matter the way he treats her, or what horrible things he forces her to do because she's his slave and she's just been broken so badly, she's afraid of being killed. |
| 370 | * TsurimeEyes: Her sharp eyes reflect her {{stoic}}ism and strength of character. |
| 371 | * UndyingLoyalty: She has absolute loyalty to Aladdin and Alibaba, who freed her from slavery. |
| 372 | * UnknowinglyInLove: She isn't aware that what she feels for Alibaba isn't just friendship and admiration. Eventually, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt everyone (including Alibaba)]] notices Morgiana loves him before she does so herself, but she doesn't feel ready to have a romantic relationship and asks Alibaba to wait for her to learn more about romance so she can fully understand her feelings for him. [[spoiler: She comes to terms with her love for Alibaba after his death and when he returns three years later, they finally hook up.]] |
| 373 | * VaporWear: She's not wearing anything underneath that one-piece dress. |
| 374 | * VariableLengthChain: [[spoiler: Her household vessel]]. |
| 375 | * ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: For Alibaba, as part of their ShipTease. |
| 376 | * WaifFu: And ''how''. She can lift dozens of people at the same time. She kicks so hard she can run up walls. [[spoiler: She can swing the chains on her household vessel hard enough to rock climb]]. |
| 377 | * WhatIsThisFeeling: When Alibaba lies about Toto being his girlfriend, Morgiana feels very shocked and distressed, being unable to understand that she's jealous. |
| 378 | * WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She admits that since was a slave most of her life, romantic feelings and relationships are things she knows little to nothing about. |
| 379 | * WhenSheSmiles: Whenever she smiles, everyone else seems captivated by it. |

| 385 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenshoOno (Japanese), Creator/DarrelGuilbeau (English) |
| 386 | |
| 387 | The tritagonist of the series. He is the Fourth Prince of the Kou Empire, and the younger brother of Hakuei. He meets Alibaba and the others later during his stay in Sindria. Aged 16 at the beginning of the story. In the manga, he eventually becomes the Fourth Emperor of the Kou Empire. |
| 388 | ---- |
| 389 | * AbdicateTheThrone: Some time after [[spoiler: he was crowned emperor, he resigned from his position and the crown was passed on to Kougyoku]]. |
| 390 | * AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:He confesses to Morgiana, proposing marriage and asking her to be the empress of the new country he intends to create. However, she hesitates in giving him an answer, prompting him to realize that she doesn't feel the same way, because of her affection towards Aladdin and her crush on Alibaba. He promises that he will come back and propose again someday.]] He appears to [[spoiler: have given up on it later on, since when Morgiana admits to him that she does have feelings for Alibaba, Hakuryuu doesn't force the issue and silently accepts her confession]]. |
| 391 | * AntiHero: Well-meaning, but ruthless. |
| 392 | * AnArmAndALeg: [[spoiler:He gets both of his legs burned off by Alibaba in their duel,]] but he also managed to score a decisive blow that [[spoiler: sends Alibaba's spirit out of his body]]. |
| 393 | * ArmorPiercingQuestion: |
| 394 | ** He questions Hakuei [[spoiler: (more specifically, his conscience impersonating her)]] on why she supports the Kou Empire, despite knowing that they have been up to no good and have been siding with Al-Thamen ever since their brothers died. |
| 395 | ** He asks Aladdin whether falling into depravity is really a bad thing. He starts to explain that some people did sincerely have noble goals from the start, but decided to take a different approach since fate wouldn't let them achieve said goals. He even points out the possibility that the concept of cursing one's own fate saddens Aladdin since it meant they would not live the way he ''wants'' them to. This gets Aladdin to consider his words and rethink his own opinion about falling into depravity. |
| 396 | ** He gives another to Kouen, stating that Kouen could have done something about [[spoiler:Gyokuen]] when he himself couldn't, and then proceeds to ask why he would [[spoiler: defend the ''very organization'' that was responsible for Hakuyuu and Hakuren's deaths, whom Kouen highly respected]]. |
| 397 | * ArtificialLimbs: |
| 398 | ** He loses his arm [[spoiler:due to Ithnan using him as a LivingBodysuit, but later replaces it with a wooden one that he can control]]. |
| 399 | ** He loses both legs [[spoiler:after Alibaba cuts them off in battle, but he replaces them with wooden ones he can control as well. They eventually disappear when Kouen uses Phenex to regenerate Hakuryuu's original limbs]]. |
| 400 | * AttackAttackAttack: He attacks in a berserk manner when he was temporarily influenced by Madaura's power, going all-out against Alibaba and co. and not holding back in the slightest. |
| 401 | * AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Being a prince of the Kou Empire is enough of an indicator that he isn't to be taken lightly. |
| 402 | * TheBeastmaster: Of a sort. His [[GreenThumb power]] in Zagan's Djinn Equip allows him to enhance the microscopic fungi in the atmosphere, allowing them to grow into grotesque monsters. |
| 403 | * BerserkButton: |
| 404 | ** Anything to do with his mother. |
| 405 | ** Telling him to give up on his revenge ''won't'' elicit a positive reaction from him. |
| 406 | * BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Alibaba's Betty and Morgiana's Archie. |
| 407 | * BewareTheHonestOnes: He's actually a very naive and honorable guy, with Zagan even describing his Rukh as being "painfully honest"... though it doesn't mean that he isn't a capable fighter. [[spoiler: And sadly because of this, he's unable to swallow his hatred and suffers from BlackAndWhiteInsanity]]. |
| 408 | * BigBrotherInstinct: |
| 409 | ** Although he's the younger of the two, he's fiercely and violently protective of his sister Hakuei. He wants power to protect her and support her right to the throne. [[spoiler: This changes however when he falls into depravity, and now he seeks to claim the throne himself, albeit only since doing such would mean having to kill Gyokuen.]] |
| 410 | ** He also shows shades of this trope in the anime towards Kougyoku, who is also older than him, shielding her from Ithnan during the latter's invasion of Sindria. |
| 411 | * BigBrotherWorship: He admires his elder brother Hakuyuu and has taken a lot of his personality, dresses the same as him, and Gyokuen has noticed that Hakuryuu's glare is even identical to Hakuyuu's. |
| 412 | ** He also thinks highly of his older sister Hakuei. |
| 413 | * BigShutUp: Does a good one in Zagan's dungeon after breaking down, and he makes sure everyone in the room gets their share of it. |
| 414 | -->'''To Zagan:''' [[DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu SHUT UP, YOU MASKED PERVERT!]] |
| 415 | -->'''To Alibaba:''' SHUT UP, YOU HAPPY-GO-LUCKY IDIOT! [[note]]This one is exclusive from the anime, but still applies.[[/note]] |
| 416 | -->'''To Morgiana:''' [[StayInTheKitchen SHUT UP, SUPER WOMAN!]] |
| 417 | -->'''To Aladdin:''' [[NotNowKiddo YOU SHOULD SHUT UP TOO]], [[JustAKid CHIBI ASSISTANT!]] |
| 418 | * BlackAndWhiteMorality: ''Oh so much''. He believes that if one hates someone, or if someone wronged them, then [[PayEvilUntoEvil the only way to solve the problem is to kill them]]. No compromises can be made, and ''no one'' is an exception if they're on the receiving side of his hatred. |
| 419 | * BloodSplatteredInnocents: To help him escape from a fire unharmed, [[spoiler:his elder brother Hakuyuu stabs himself and soaks him in his own blood]]. |
| 420 | * BreakTheCutie: His traumatic past -- his father died in a revolt and he was witness of the horrible deaths of his elder brothers -- [[spoiler:courtesy of his ''very own mother''. Not to mention that he was later reunited with said mother... after a really, ''really'', messy situation that left him at odds with his friends]]. |
| 421 | * BrokenPedestal: [[WordOfGod Ohtaka's comments]] for Chapter 278 mention that part of why he becomes incredibly hateful towards someone. At first, he respected them and expected them to live up to those expectations, and when they fail to live up to them he develops a hatred towards them. [[spoiler: Alibaba and Kouen are perfect examples of this, since he respected them once, but grew to resent them over time.]] |
| 422 | * BrutalHonesty: Hakuryuu won't hesitate to say what he thinks, whether he means well or not. Zagan even describes him as such, seeing it through his Rukh. |
| 423 | %%* ByronicHero |
| 424 | * CassandraTruth: Played with. When he reveals to the main trio that [[spoiler: Gyokuen is the leader of Al-Thamen]], they were more concerned with the fact that he intends to [[spoiler: kill his own mother]] than the fact that [[spoiler: she's the [[BigBad cause of the all the evil happening around the world]]]]. Played straight with Hakuei however, since she didn't believe him when he revealed the same truth to her. |
| 425 | * CharacterDevelopment: From a NaiveNewcomer and a WisePrince to a more grounded ByronicHero to a rage and revenge-driven VillainProtagonist to a combination of the former two (minus the naivete). |
| 426 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Due to his ability to manipulate the Magoi in his body. |
| 427 | * ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Kouen giving his arm and legs to Hakuryuu is what prevents Arba from possessing him, since it means he isn't completely of her blood]]. |
| 428 | * CombatPragmatist: He'll do whatever it takes to end his opponent, if he hates them enough. He even ''bites'' down on [[spoiler: Gyokuen]]'s neck during their battle, much to the latter's shock. |
| 429 | %%* TheComicallySerious |
| 430 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: A fire took the life of his father and two elder brothers. [[spoiler:It's made worse when he finds out ''his own mother'' was responsible]]. |
| 431 | * TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: The more he is consumed with revenge, the more callous he becomes towards his sister, whom he once dearly loved. Although protecting her from Gyokuen and supporting her right to the throne used to be one of his primary motivations, [[spoiler: he coldly decides to kill her after his venture into Belial's dungeon]]. |
| 432 | * DealWithTheDevil: He treats his joining of the [[spoiler: Seven Seas Alliance as this after losing Judar]]. |
| 433 | * DeathGlare: He gives a lot of these, especially in the recent chapters. |
| 434 | * DecapitationPresentation: He does this after beheading Madaura, showing her head to the child pirates. This serves as a sign that he's more merciless than he seems. |
| 435 | * DefectorFromDecadence: Most of the Kou Empire is war-mongering and imperialistic, so he does not care for them. [[spoiler: It's subverted when he actually couldn't care less about what they do or don't do, [[RevengeBeforeReason he just wants to kill the woman who killed his father and brothers]] [[HeWhoFightsMonsters and is willing to shatter the Kou Empire in order to do so]], [[{{Irony}} which ironically makes him far worse than any of his siblings]]]]. |
| 436 | * DefrostingIceKing: Subverted. He starts out as a loner who only cares about becoming stronger and opposing the Kou Empire, eventually beginning to open up to Aladdin, Alibaba and Morgiana through ThePowerOfFriendship. [[spoiler:That's until Umm Madaura makes him recall his past and his hatred for his mother and he becomes even worse than before, turning his back on his newfound friends. Thankfully, they reconcile by the final arc]]. |
| 437 | * {{Determinator}}: While being [[spoiler: restrained by Phenex]], which causes him so much pain that he falls down on his knees, he's still able to resist enough to move on his own. He even stabs his leg to prop himself back up, while shouting that [[spoiler: Kouen]] cannot stop him with this. [[spoiler:Phenex is even surprised by how he could still move despite her magic ''binding his nerves'']]. |
| 438 | * DoggedNiceGuy: To Morgiana. [[spoiler:Even though she rejected his proposal, he hasn't given up on her and promises to someday come back to propose once again. He eventually gives up after she confirms her feelings to Alibaba later in the manga, although he hasn't exactly moved on from her completely]]. |
| 439 | * EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: By Alibaba, whose soul he had banished to another dimension, effectively leaving his body dead in the process. Alibaba doesn't seem to hold any resentment towards him at all for this act when they reunite]]. |
| 440 | * TheEmperor: [[spoiler: Assumes control over the Kou Empire after killing his mother.]] |
| 441 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: He's so bitter that he can't see the possibility of a world united by peaceful ways and forgiveness; this side of him surprised and scared Hakuei. He also considers Alibaba's forgiving ways hypocritical. Considering the kind of mother he has and all that she had done to him, it's quite understandable. |
| 442 | * EvilCounterpart: [[spoiler:To Alibaba. Both are the youngest prince of kingdoms that were usurped by Kou's forces, but Alibaba tries to reclaim Balbadd in a pacific way in order to protect the citizens, while Hakuryuu took Kou by force, not caring for the civil war he could unleash (even thinks it would be better if it does) and both are the sole king candidate of two polar opposite Magi]]. |
| 443 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Chapters 196, 197, and 198 show that he's now working hand-in-hand with Judar. Though both undergo a HeelFaceTurn by the time the final arc kicks in]]. |
| 444 | * FallenHero: [[spoiler: Hakuryuu's past wasn't already helping with his personality, which was slowly consumed by his need for revenge, even if the reason why is understandable. But then what happens onwards, just after he made some friends, pushes him closer and closer to the MoralEventHorizon until [[ThenLetMeBeEvil he falls]] [[ScrewDestiny into depravity]]. He goes back to being a hero again after the Kou civil war]]. |
| 445 | * FatalFlaw: Hakuryuu's desire to avenge his father and brothers has led him to isolate Hakuei, the one person he wanted to protect, and caused him to do anything to seek the power to do [[RevengeBeforeReason attain that revenge]]. |
| 446 | * {{Fingore}}: Suffered from a variation of this in [[spoiler: Belial's dungeon]]. While confronting [[spoiler: his conscience that manifested as several illusions]], he suddenly falls down a chasm, and in an attempt to climb back up, he breaks off all his nails. |
| 447 | * ForcefulKiss: |
| 448 | ** [[spoiler: Gives one to Morgiana when confessing his feelings for her, and asking for her hand in marriage]]. |
| 449 | ** He also gets one [[spoiler: [[ParentalIncest from his own mother]]]]. |
| 450 | * {{Foil}}: To Alibaba. Both of them have suffered hardships due to or alongside their family, though while Alibaba is idealistic and an AllLovingHero who tries to see the good in everything and everyone, Hakuryuu is borderline pessimistic and a ByronicHero harboring a BlackAndWhiteMorality. |
| 451 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: |
| 452 | ** Ithnan, who claims that the air of Sindria is thick with white Rukh and hard to breathe, then tells Hakuryuu that it [[spoiler:was very comfortable living inside his body]]. |
| 453 | ** In an extra chapter, Zagan tells Hakuryuu that he sees him as a likable master due to his honesty, although he expresses some worry, and a small panel shows [[spoiler: a few black Rukh fluttering in with the white]]. This gets repeated in the first opening of the second season: during Hakuryuu's brief segment, [[spoiler: both white and black Rukh appear around him]]. |
| 454 | ** After Hakuryuu formally meets Aladdin and Alibaba, the latter mentions that Hakuryuu reminds him of someone but he isn't sure of whom... Aladdin, obviously noticing the resemblance between the siblings, answers by saying how he looks just like Hakuei, but Alibaba says that he wouldn't know as he didn't meet her. [[spoiler: After the Umm Madaura arc, Alibaba finally notices that the person he was reminded of when he first met Hakuryuu was actually ''Cassim'']]. |
| 455 | ** When he first arrives in Sindria, he describes Kouen as greedy and bloodthirsty and speaks more of "destroying" than of "reclaiming" the Kou Empire. (At the time, the protagonists have no reason to assume anything different about him). He also speaks of Kouen as someone who is plotting with Gyokuen, at the time that the emperor kicked the bucket. [[spoiler: We later learn that Hakuryuu sees him as an usurper to the throne and blames him for working with Al-Thamen and Gyokuen instead of attempting to get rid of her.]] |
| 456 | * FreudianExcuse: When he was a child, [[spoiler: his brothers were killed by his mother to usurp the throne. He then learned that Al-Thamen is manipulating the Kou Empire from the shadows, yet whenever he would tell this to others, no one takes his words seriously and always tells him that he should forsake his revenge, which leads him to do the exact opposite, making him more extreme in the process]]. |
| 457 | * FriendlessBackground: A more subdued example, but he admitted to Aladdin that before he met him, Alibaba, and Morgiana, the only person he ever opened himself up to was his sister. Not to mention, he became somewhat of a pariah in the palace after the tragedy that claimed his brothers' lives. |
| 458 | * GoodIsNotNice: The way he acts in the Umm Madaura arc. |
| 459 | * TheGoodKing: During [[spoiler: his brief time as emperor, he tried his utmost to improve the Kou Empire after its resources (mainly, military power and slaves) were severely depleted from the new rules of the Seven Seas Alliance. However, due to the alliance's tight rules, there were too many problems that couldn't be addressed properly, and he stepped down from the throne as he felt that he failed to help his country. The amount of effort he gave in ruling the country even impressed Olba, who is [[YouKilledMyFather vengeful towards him]], that the latter could no longer bring himself to kill Hakuryuu]]. |
| 460 | * GoodScarsEvilScars: Has burn marks around his left eye and in various areas on the left side of his body. |
| 461 | * TheGrimReaper: [[spoiler:Belial's Djinn Equip looks like a skeleton and his ''guan dao'' turns into a scythe that can pretty much destroy people's ''nerves'' and cause ''brain death'']]. |
| 462 | * GreenThumb: His Djinn, Zagan's power. |
| 463 | * HairColorDissonance: His hair is either dark blue or black, depending on the artwork. It most likely falls under the "stylized black" category. |
| 464 | * HandicappedBadass: He loses his left hand, [[spoiler:either to Isaac's blade in the anime, or Ithnan's magic in the manga. Later, he loses his legs to Alibaba, although he regains all lost limbs thanks to Kouen after the latter's capture]]. |
| 465 | * HearingVoices: [[spoiler:He apparently has a voice inside his head that prevents him from seeking redemption within Belial's dungeon. Just like his mother...]] |
| 466 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Eventually, after stepping down from his position as emperor he decides to dedicate himself to helping Aladdin and Alibaba save the world, also wishing to support his sister Kougyoku's rule]]. |
| 467 | * HeroicBSOD: Goes through three, each lasting only for a while before he returns to his senses. The first is when [[spoiler: after Hakuei decided to side with Kouen instead of him]] when Hakuryuu told her the truth. The second is when Judar was [[spoiler:sent to space]]. At that time, he was silent and almost detached towards everything for a while. And the third (and most severe one) was after [[spoiler:Kouen's execution, as he was so conflicted over everything Kouen had said and done that he nearly committed suicide.]] |
| 468 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:He starts off as a genuinely nice guy, but becomes more and more unhinged as the manga continues]]. |
| 469 | * HopelessSuitor: His feelings for Morgiana end up not being requited due to various factors such as him JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope and Morgiana's feelings towards Alibaba. [[spoiler: When Alibaba returns three years later, he and Morgiana hook up, putting the final nail in the coffin.]] |
| 470 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 471 | ** He shows utter contempt for Kouen's goal to create a utopia by uniting the world under one rule for the latter uses brutal force and even slavery to meet that goal. But he also [[spoiler:has his own plans to create his own utopia by killing anyone who gets in his way of his ideals without any mercy, even if they are undeserving of it. Subverted when it's revealed he struck against Kouen due to a misguided belief that Kouen wasn't living up to the standards he had set for him]]. |
| 472 | ** He himself accuses Alibaba of being this, stating that Alibaba acts as if he cares for the best interests of others, but is actually manipulating their emotions and thoughts with what or who matters most to them in order to get them to agree with him. |
| 473 | --> '''Hakuryuu''': [...] You can understand when people in front of you are the most vulnerable [...] I have finally realized what kind of person you are. You naturally approach someone while telling them that you wish for their happiness, then you [[ManipulativeBastard take what is in his heart that he doesn't want anyone to touch, and rip it out, and do anything for them to realize what you think is right.]] |
| 474 | * ICantBelieveAGuyLikeYouWouldNoticeMe: A completely non-romantic example towards Judar. He wonders why Judar wants to work with him when the latter always expressed greater interest in people like Sinbad or Kouen. |
| 475 | %%* IcyBlueEyes: |
| 476 | * ImmuneToMindControl: [[spoiler:Having falling into depravity meant that his black Rukh exists outside Sinbad's new system in the Sacred Palace, allowing him to retain his free will]]. |
| 477 | %%*InnocentBlueEyes |
| 478 | %%* InTheBlood |
| 479 | * InVinoVeritas: In one of the volume extras, Hakuryuu is shown to be weak towards alcohol, and under its influence he becomes very vocal of his thoughts and feelings, although it's PlayedForLaughs. |
| 480 | * IneffectualLoner: |
| 481 | ** In Zagan's dungeon he realized that, while capable of fighting on his own, it was not enough and that he needed help to move forward. |
| 482 | ** After the Umm Madaura incident, [[spoiler: he's right back to doing everything solo, which is repeatedly lampshaded by Judar and later Kougyoku -- although he's technically recruited a large army via MindRape, he's nearly all alone with very few actual supporters, in stark contrast to Kouen or Alibaba who are respected and loved by many of their friends and subordinates]]. |
| 483 | * InelegantBlubbering: After being taunted by Zagan, Hakuryuu ends up sobbing and wailing loudly. Despite this, it was actually quite adorable. |
| 484 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: He resents Alibaba for being so much more capable at helping others than he is, though he eventually gets over it. |
| 485 | * InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler:After Kouen's execution, Hakuryuu almost committed suicide had he not been stopped by Morgiana]]. |
| 486 | * ItsAllAboutMe: He has some selfless moments at first, but after [[spoiler: falling into depravity, he's set to have his revenge no matter what, the political stability of the Kou Empire be damned]]. |
| 487 | * ItsPersonal: The reason why he wishes to destroy the Kou Empire. When he was first introduced, it was easy to assume that it was only because he doesn't agree with their ideals and sees them as tyrannical despots that need to stopped. Then the later chapters reveal that it's more than that: [[spoiler: the empress, who is also his mother, killed his brothers to take over the throne, and he intends to avenge them.]] |
| 488 | * IveComeTooFar: The reason why Hakuryuu can't let go of his hatred, and decides to [[spoiler: fall into depravity]] instead. He's aware that what he's doing goes against what his brothers fought for and isn't the right thing to do, but he suffered too much for too long to simply let it go. |
| 489 | * IWorkAlone: His seriousness about [[spoiler:getting Zagan without help]] drove him to this attitude, although he later understood the greatness of ThePowerOfFriendship. [[spoiler: He plays this straight once more after his revenge drove a wedge between his relationship with his friends, then somewhat subverts it when the later chapters show Judar as his other -- and only trusted -- ally]]. |
| 490 | * {{Jerkass}}: He evolves to this when he [[spoiler: falls into depravity]], losing all the kind traits he once possessed, to the point that he [[spoiler: shows no hesitation to kill his friends, and even his family, if they get in his way. He eventually stops after the civil war with the Kou Empire, becoming more of a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, with the jerk part heavily downplayed]]. |
| 491 | * JerkassHasAPoint: |
| 492 | ** Aladdin and Alibaba find his quest of revenge against [[spoiler: his mother]] to be wrong, as his motives are more from a personal vendetta than anything else, and Hakuryuu even became worse because of his revenge. However, [[spoiler: Gyokuen ''is'' the leader of Al-Thamen, the organization causing many of the "irregularities" around the world, and she's also the one who brought the downfall of Alma Toran and his brothers' deaths]] -- making Hakuryuu's desire to kill [[spoiler: Gyokuen]] justified and understandable. |
| 493 | ** When Orba tries to avenge Madaura's death by attempting to kill Hakuryuu, the latter immediately gives him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech (see entry below) that points out how hypocritical the pirates are acting and how much they are in denial over the fact that they always knew Madaura only saw them as tools and nothing more. |
| 494 | ** While arguing with Hakuei about how Kouen's philosophy of "the world is one" is impossible, he adds that [[{{Hypocrite}} Kouen professes such a thing, yet his actions completely contradict his goal]]. True enough, while Kouen had noble intentions, the Magnostadt arc and the Second Balbadd arc proved Hakuryuu's point. A union with the Kou Empire does not come without the threat of "subjugation or annihilation", and while its citizens appear to be living peacefully, they are stripped of many civil rights and ''slavery'' exists in the system. |
| 495 | * KickTheDog: |
| 496 | ** A brief one, but after beheading Madaura, [[DecapitationPresentation he grabbed her head and showed it to the pirate children to terrify them]], and didn't even flinch or show remorse when he's confronted about it. |
| 497 | ** Another is when he [[spoiler: infused his soldiers with mind-controlling plants. As others succumbed to the its effects, a soldier tearfully begged him to stop... and Hakuryuu force-fed him with the plants nevertheless.]] |
| 498 | * KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler:In Chapter 244 he cuts down the illusionary forms of his sister and Morgiana, and declares that he will then do the same to the real ones. However, he has yet to actually do so, so it's ambiguous if he truly meant it]]. Although he did, in a way, [[spoiler:kill Alibaba by sending his spirit to another dimension]], and he felt no remorse about it, which makes it possible that his threats are genuine. |
| 499 | * KnightTemplar: Kouen fears that if he becomes king, he would be the only person left in the world because he'll kill anyone who does evil in his eyes. |
| 500 | * KnightTemplarBigBrother: Inverted since he's the younger brother, but when he sees [[spoiler:[[EvilMatriarch his mother]]]] and she suggests the idea of her killing his sister Hakuei, he [[spoiler:immediately uses Full Djinn equip]] and tries to kill her. [[spoiler:This changes after he falls into depravity, although it's played straight once more when he undergoes a HeelFaceTurn]]. |
| 501 | * MadeOfIron: He can keep on fighting despite his life slowly draining from overusing his Magoi, and can even brush off his [[spoiler: legs being cut and burned off]] like it wasn't that important. |
| 502 | * ManBitesMan: He does this to [[spoiler: Gyokuen]] during their fight. It shows just how determined he is to finish her off. |
| 503 | * MeaningfulName: Hakuryuu means ''White Dragon.'' |
| 504 | * MindRape: [[spoiler:He can combine the powers of both Zagan and Belial to grow mind controlling plants over the head of people, which roots connect to their very brains. Hakuryuu can alter their memories or what they sense]]... and it does not look pretty. |
| 505 | * MirrorCharacter: |
| 506 | ** Alibaba and Hakuryuu are mirrors as princes of their countries who were so far down the line of succession they were never expected to take the throne, but who were chosen by magi as king candidates and conquered dungeons with the help of their friends. |
| 507 | ** Hakuryuu and Judar both [[spoiler: had their families killed by Al-Thamen]], causing them to harbor intense hatred for [[spoiler: Gyokuen]], who is responsible. When both were [[spoiler: confronted about their revenge]], they both refused to give up their hatred and became more determined to [[spoiler: avenge their families]]. Once [[spoiler: Gyokuen was killed]], both knew that [[spoiler: their revenge wouldn't stop there]], yet they agree that it's inevitable and embrace that fact. |
| 508 | ** Played with in [[spoiler: Kouen's]] case -- Hakuryuu is shocked to learn that [[spoiler:Kouen]] highly respected his brothers and wanted Gyokuen dead just as much as he did, (complete with picturing him in his younger self's place), but at this point, this similarity in their goal only serves to lampshade [[RevengeBeforeReason the difference]] in their methods and character. |
| 509 | * MommyIssues: [[spoiler: Understandable with [[EvilMatriarch the kind]] [[AbusiveMom of mother]] [[OffingTheOffspring he has]]. All of his life's purpose and drive thus revolves around his mother and his desire to take revenge on her]]. |
| 510 | * MoralityPet: To Judar. He's one of the very few-- if not the ''only'' person Judar genuinely cares for and is unfailingly loyal to, even before they officially become allies. |
| 511 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: When he's in [[spoiler: Belial's Djinn Equip, he has four arms]]. |
| 512 | * MySisterIsOffLimits: |
| 513 | ** He does '''NOT''' approve of the [[http://meleiyu.tumblr.com/post/53481780779/magi-vol-17-omake-for-you-kouen-hakuei-fans friendly relationship between Hakuei and Kouen.]] He also was quite agitated that his sister had such highly fond memories of a certain Aladdin man, who saved her life, though Hakuei was teasing him on purpose. |
| 514 | ** He becomes exceedingly wary and displeased whenever Aladdin is physically close to Hakuei, but considering Aladdin's love for well-endowed women, it's not hard to see why. |
| 515 | * MythicalMotifs: [[MeaningfulName A dragon, obviously]]. When he uses Zagan, he can create wooden projectiles or monsters shaped like dragons, and [[spoiler:Belial's Extreme Magic]] also takes the form of a dragon. |
| 516 | * NaiveNewcomer: Hinted at by Sinbad when Hakuryuu first asks for his help in opposing the Kou Empire. This painfully comes true when he can't do anything in his first dungeon against Zagan, and [[TheLoad ends up getting saved a lot]]. |
| 517 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: |
| 518 | ** Confronts Gyokuen head-on and dethrones Kouen (who judged her to be unkillable and wanted to amass more knowledge of her true nature before removing her) for tolerating her presence and activities in the imperial court; [[spoiler: In the end, Kouen turns out to have been right after all, Gyokuen/Arba lives, and what's more, she's possessed the ''one'' person Hakuryuu ever cared about/wanted to protect: Hakuei.]] |
| 519 | ** He starts a massive civil war to reclaim his empire, albeit ends up [[spoiler: throwing it into poverty (unintentionally, however) by surrendering it to the Seven Seas Alliance, with him eventually abdicating the throne.]] Although to be fair, it's possible that even without his actions, [[spoiler: [[ManipulativeBastard Sinbad]] would still pull some strings so that the Kou Empire would be in his debt.]] |
| 520 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Briefly gives one to [[spoiler: Gyokuen when her powers were nullified by Judar's anti-magic barrier]]. |
| 521 | * NotSoAboveItAll: |
| 522 | ** He carries a serious, no-nonsense demeanor most of the time, and his weaknesses are jokes. Despite this, he was enjoying himself when he and Aladdin messed with Alibaba, and was amused on how their indirect prank left Alibaba a crying mess. |
| 523 | ** When Alibaba later asks him on whether he has mastered Zagan's Djinn Equip or not, he gives a mischievous smile and says neither yes nor no. |
| 524 | NotSoDifferentRemark: Judar. [[spoiler: had their families killed by Al-Thamen]], causing them to harbor intense hatred for [[spoiler: Gyokuen]], who is responsible. When both were [[spoiler: confronted about their revenge]], they both refused to give up their hatred and became more determined to [[spoiler: avenge their families]]. Once [[spoiler: Gyokuen was killed]], both knew that [[spoiler: their revenge wouldn't stop there]], yet they agree that it's inevitable and embrace that fact. |
| 525 | * NumerologicalMotif: The ''fourth'' child of Hakutoku. Then the ''Fourth'' Prince, soon the ''Fourth'' [[spoiler: Emperor]], of the Kou Empire. He's even the ''fourth'' protagonist to appear. Coincidence? It may not be, as in Chinese culture, [[FourIsDeath the number four is associated with death]], [[FridgeBrilliance which plays a heavy role in]] [[FridgeHorror Hakuryuu's life from the past to the present.]] |
| 526 | * OffWithHisHead: His preferred method of killing his opponents. The most notable recipients were Madaura and [[spoiler: Gyokuen]]. [[spoiler: Kouen]] narrowly escapes that fate. |
| 527 | * OldSchoolChivalry: [[SarcasmMode This goes well when he meets Morgiana]]. |
| 528 | * OnlyAFleshWound: While he's clearly in pain from having [[spoiler: ''both his legs burned off'']], he immediately claims that it doesn't matter, since he won the battle, and [[spoiler: Alibaba]]'s injuries are ''far worse''. |
| 529 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Hakuryuu, when compared to [[BadassFamily his siblings]]. |
| 530 | ** Also compared to Alibaba in Zagan's dungeon, who is on the other end of this trope for once. |
| 531 | ** Subverted later in the manga, as he becomes [[spoiler: the third King Candidate to own more than one Djinn]], and he shows that he can wreak havoc with Life Magic alone. |
| 532 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: He lives by this philosophy for as long as he can remember. |
| 533 | -->'''Hakuryuu:''' Hatred will never be erased! The only thing you can do... [[spoiler:is erase the one you hate!]] |
| 534 | * PetTheDog: |
| 535 | ** When he and the group set out to conquer Zagan, a Toran native offers to accompany them since her parents disappeared in the dungeon. He promises to look for them in her stead, and when she follows them all the way inside, he watches over her. |
| 536 | ** He lets Aladdin go even though he was responsible for [[spoiler: sending Judar to space]], when he could have used his remaining strength to [[spoiler:[[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown kill Aladdin while the latter was in a state of despair.]]]] |
| 537 | ** When [[spoiler: Kouen]] requested Hakuryuu to [[spoiler: spare his brothers]], even if it would be a safer option to do otherwise, he appeared to have honored [[spoiler: Kouen's]] last request, [[spoiler: sending them into exile and leaving only Kouen to be executed]]. In the end, he decided to [[spoiler: fake Kouen's execution and simply exiles him along with his brothers.]] |
| 538 | ** Despite turning on most of his friends and not hesitating to use just about anyone for his own means, he did sincerely care for Judar, as the mere mention of Judar after [[spoiler: the latter's apparent death]] would evoke expressions of either shock, sorrow, or anger out of him. |
| 539 | * PowerDyesYourHair: Like most King Candidates in their respective Djinn Equip, when Hakuryuu is in [[spoiler: Belial's Djinn Equip]], his hair turns white. |
| 540 | * PrepareToDie: While not word-for-word, what he says to [[spoiler: Alibaba after the latter makes the [[ObliviousGuiltSlinging mistake of bringing up Hakuei]]]] is along the lines of this. |
| 541 | * ProtagonistJourneyToVillain: Hakuryuu was presented as a idealistic, noble if somewhat too serious prince. [[spoiler: Umm Madaura remind him of his hatred towards his mother and he started to get jaded, but he went right downhill after losing to Gyokuen and accepted Judar's help. When the story focused back on him, he decides to reject forgiveness and redemption, fell into depravity, conquered a second dungeon and enslaved the Djinn by force, killed his mother and usurped Kou and he's downright opposing Alibaba and Aladdin.]] |
| 542 | * PutOnABus: Since Chapter 148. Chapter 242 [[TheBusCameBack brings him back]] and the manga then starts to show where the bus took him to. |
| 543 | * PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: [[spoiler: He falls into depravity after realizing that, subconsciously, he knows that his path of revenge is not the best solution and, in the big picture, is against his brothers' philosophy. But he can't forgive the world for all the misery he lived through. When a part of his psyche, in the form of his {{Morality Pet}}s tell him that the world just works like this, he says that he'll destroy it then and remake it, making his motivations a mix of reasons 3 and 4.]] |
| 544 | * PyrrhicVictory: The outcome of his fight with [[spoiler:Alibaba]]. Sure, Hakuryuu wins, but [[spoiler: he loses both his legs, and Judar -- courtesy of Aladdin.]] |
| 545 | * RealMenCook: Despite being a prince, Hakuryuu is a very skilled cook. He states that Hakuei -- [[LethalChef ironically]] -- taught him such so he could be self-sufficient. |
| 546 | * TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: |
| 547 | ** His response to Orba after the latter tried to kill him for beheading Madaura. |
| 548 | --->'''Hakuryuu:''' How many people did you kill in this city? There were even women among them, right? Weren't they the mothers of someone else? What about their children?! [[spoiler:And only after ''your own'' mother's death do you behave like that?!]] Don't you find that to be be just a little too self-serving? The truth is, you were starting to realize the truth, weren't you? The fact that [[spoiler:the Great Holy Mother was just using you.]] Why were you kidnapping all those children? Wasn't it for the purpose of grooming them as pirates and lining that woman's pockets? Did any of you gain even one thing from all that? [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown There's no need to grieve. After all, you were never loved in the first place.]] |
| 549 | ** While rejecting [[spoiler:Alibaba's claim that the world can be united in compromise.]] |
| 550 | --->'''Hakuryuu:''' [[spoiler:Those are nothing but empty dreams, because you are... nothing more than a King's Vessel who always worked under someone else, never able to accomplish anything on your own.]] |
| 551 | * RedemptionRejection: [[spoiler: In Belial's dungeon, a manifestation of his mind (in the form of his sister, Morgiana and Alibaba) tries to convince him into letting go his anger towards the world. Hakuryuu tried to, but his hatred would never let him forgive and forget, so he falls into depravity, wanting to destroy the world that sees him as being wrong. Then, he kills the manifestations of both his sister and Morgiana while promising to kill them for real.]] |
| 552 | * ReformedButNotTamed: [[spoiler: In the final arc, although to a lesser extent compared to Judar. There's no doubt he's with the good guys once again, but the change in personality that he underwent through the time-skip still sticks, with him being far more sardonic and pragmatic than before]]. |
| 553 | * RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler: His entire goal is to split the Kou Empire in half with war in order to get revenge on his mother -- a member of [[NebulousEvilOrganization Al-Thamen]] for killing his father and his two elder brothers, without considering all the collateral damage a war could cause. After completely falling into depravity he both knows and doesn't care, since he plans on destroying the entire world.]] |
| 554 | ** [[spoiler: This becomes subverted after the time-skip. While he still intends to end Arba once and for all, he's now capable of seeing reason, and thanks to his CharacterDevelopment, is now on the good side once more.]] |
| 555 | * RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Towards Al-Thamen and [[spoiler: Gyokuen]] for [[spoiler: orchestrating his brothers' deaths.]] |
| 556 | * RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: It should be noted that despite his intentions, he is the very first to make an actual move against [[spoiler: Al-Thamen.]] |
| 557 | * SanitySlippage: The moment he fails to convince his sister to side with him and loses to his mother, he [[spoiler: begins his fall into depravity. The next time we see him, he's fallen off the deep end.]] |
| 558 | %% * ScarsAreForever: See GoodScarsEvilScars above. |
| 559 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: He finally kills his own mother in Chapter 250, with a swift decapitation.]] |
| 560 | * SerialProstheses: Hakuryuu loses an arm in Zagan's dungeon, onyl to replace it with a wooden on once he claims the djinn for his own, but he loses both his legs to Alibaba during their fight in the Kou Empire arc and also has to replace them with prosthetic wooden limbs. |
| 561 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Hakuryuu has this attitude, believing absolute peace cannot be achieved, and war and discord is inevitable even among those of the same faction or bloodline. This contrasts greatly with Alibaba and Hakuei's beliefs. |
| 562 | -->'''Hakuryuu:''' The world is one? Such a thing... is impossible. |
| 563 | * SinisterScythe: When in [[spoiler: Belial's Djinn Equip]], his polearm transforms into this. While it cannot [[spoiler: physically cut through objects, when it cuts a person, it can sever their senses and send the part of the soul that was cut to another dimension.]] |
| 564 | * SixthRangerTraitor: [[spoiler:After leaving the group he has fallen further and further into depravity, in his quest for revenge.]] |
| 565 | * SlasherSmile: Sports one after [[spoiler:rendering Alibaba brain-dead, and it appears quite creepy. Like mother, like son...]] |
| 566 | * StartOfDarkness: Hakuryuu became embittered after [[spoiler:Madaura made him remember his past]]. Later, when he confronted his sister and told her the truth about [[spoiler:their mother, Al-Thamen, and the Kou Empire]], Hakuei did not him and distanced herself from him. Then after attempting to [[spoiler: kill his mother when she threatened to kill Hakuei]], he was hopelessly overpowered. And when trying to [[spoiler: conquer a second dungeon to attain more power, when confronted with his conscience]], he was told that he should just accept the tragedies that come his way and he should not fight against his fate. This enrages him and he decides to [[spoiler:defy his destiny and finally fall into depravity.]] |
| 567 | * StepfordSmiler: [[spoiler:He has a really ''serious'' problem under his calm, NiceGuy exterior, as shown in his PayEvilUntoEvil tendencies in later chapters.]] |
| 568 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: He takes strongly after his mother. As he physically matured, had it not been for the burn scars, he may as well be the splitting image of Hakuyuu. |
| 569 | * SwordAndSorcerer: [[spoiler: The Sword to Judar's Sorcerer.]] |
| 570 | * TakingTheBullet: In the anime, he [[spoiler: lost his arm shielding Alibaba from one of Isaac's attacks.]] |
| 571 | %%* TallDarkAndHandsome |
| 572 | %%* TeamChef: [[SupremeChef Somewhat]]. |
| 573 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: Hakuryuu does something like this in [[spoiler: Belial's dungeon]] when confronted about his hatred, stating that if [[spoiler: cursing his fate]] is the only way for him to attain his revenge, then he'll do just that. |
| 574 | * TokenEvilTeammate: Hakuryuu's philosophy is if you hate someone or if someone hates you, then you should use all your power to make them disappear. |
| 575 | * TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: Gains two Djinn and kills Gyokuen as well as taking over the entire Kou empire.]] |
| 576 | * TookALevelInJerkass: [[spoiler: As a result of becoming ''[[HeWhoFightsMonsters more unstable]]''.]] |
| 577 | * TookALevelInKindness: [[spoiler: When he was crowned emperor]], he contemplated on everything that had happened, and [[spoiler: turns away from depravity, with his Rukh turning white]]. While not as kind and naive as when he was first introduced, he's definitely no longer revenge-driven, and thinks about the welfare of his kingdom before his own. By the final arc, he is firmly on the heroes's side once again. |
| 578 | * TragicHero: He wanted to do the right thing, but he couldn't swallow his hatred. |
| 579 | * TranquilFury: When not outright expressing his anger, he exhibits signs of this instead. |
| 580 | * UncannyFamilyResemblance: He and all his other siblings look like his mother. |
| 581 | * TheUnfettered: ''Nothing and nobody'' can stop him from having his revenge. |
| 582 | * TheUsurper: [[spoiler:With Judar's help, he kills Gyokuen and takes over both the Kou Empire and Al-Thamen]]. Though from his point of view, he's simply taking back his birthright as the son of Kou's first Emperor. A claim supported by many and reinforced by the two generals who were his father's right-hand men pledging their loyalty to him. |
| 583 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: He used to be a sweet little boy who looked up to his brothers, but after their deaths, [[spoiler:his evil mother turning out to be their killer,]] and Madaura screwing over his head, he has gone off the deep end. |
| 584 | * VengeanceFeelsEmpty: He is hit hard by this after [[spoiler:killing his mother.]] He's lived off of ThePowerOfHate for so long that he doesn't know how to live without a target. [[spoiler:He immediately latches on to Kouen as his new target, claiming to do it for the sake of the world, but Judar knows better... and couldn't be happier, since he feels the same way.]] |
| 585 | * VitriolicBestBuds: With Alibaba. Later in the manga, he also becomes this with Judar. |
| 586 | * WalkingSpoiler: Since the Umm Madaura incident, Hakuryuu's section has gained a good amount of spoilers. |
| 587 | * WarriorPrince: One of the first princes we see fighting from the Kou Empire. He concentrated on becoming a warrior to help his inferiority complex... [[spoiler: and kill his mother]]. |
| 588 | * WasItReallyWorthIt:[[spoiler: After winning the war against Kouen, he is starting to question if all the effort he did to take out his mother and reclaiming the empire was worth for all those that were lost (Alibaba, Judar, Kouen) and was about to commit suicide from the thought of it.]] By Chapter 281, he seems to [[spoiler: put an end to the cycle, deciding that enough is enough and slowly lets his hatred go]], since he knows it is what his brothers would have wanted. |
| 589 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Although his reasons to kill Gyokuen is to satisfy his personal vengeance more than to protect the world, he ''did'' wish to rid his home of Al-Thamen's influence and protect his sister from their mother. |
| 590 | ** This becomes subverted when he [[spoiler: falls into depravity]]. Even after [[spoiler: Gyokuen is dead, he directed his hate and killing intent to another person]] because he had been focused on his revenge for so long that it was impossible for him to live on without it. |
| 591 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: The incident with Madaura shattered his bond with Aladdin, Alibaba and especially Morgiana. [[spoiler:As of Chapter 198, he says he's now turned his back on his former friends and the path they walk; and although he's sorry, he doesn't look like he's changing his mind any time soon.]] |
| 592 | * WhatTheHellHero: |
| 593 | ** He gives one to the pirates after killing Madaura, pointing out that they killed so many innocent people, [[MoralMyopia yet show no remorse only until after the person responsible is dead]]. He even points out that [[JerkassHasAPoint she was simply using them, and that one way or another, they have always been aware of it]]. |
| 594 | ** Hakuryuu calls Alibaba out on what he believes to be an attempt on emotional blackmail by mentioning Hakuei when they express disagreement over how Hakuryuu plans to take back the Kou Empire, and how Alibaba uses the same tactic with others to get them to agree with him. |
| 595 | * WhenHeSmiles: He's not a PerpetualFrowner, but considering his past, it's nice to see him smile, particularly when it's genuine and not merely a formality. |
| 596 | * WisePrince: [[spoiler:Kind of falls off this later in the series]]. |
| 597 | * WithUsOrAgainstUs: [[spoiler: When he fell into depravity]], he started to adapt this philosophy, as he stated to Alibaba that [[spoiler: anyone whose opinions are not the exactly the same as his will be killed even if they show no intention to be his enemy]], much to Alibaba's horror and disgust. |
| 598 | * WouldHitAGirl: Doesn't hold back even in the slightest against women, albeit with some cause. |
| 599 | * WouldHurtAChild: [[PetTheDog While he's normally kind to children]], he won't treat them any differently like his other enemies if they turn out to be hostile. He didn't even hesitate to hit Olba when the latter charged at him, and before Alibaba intervened, it appeared as if [[spoiler: he was ready to kill the pirates]]. |
