In which Aladdin realizes what’s going on, and they finally confront Sinbad about it.

Status: Confirmed



Aladdin and Alibaba are visiting Reim, expressing to Titus how surprised they were at the news. Didn’t they choose the path of not entering the IA? Titus said that they thought about it - they were doing it to protect Reim’s culture, but if they look at it from a long term perspective, was it really in Reim’s best interest? Under Sinbad and the IA, the world will be one.

Muu adds that surely this is what Sche would have wanted (using her words about not turning their eyes away from the world anymore), and asks about Alibaba’s doubtful reaction, who just replies that he was surprised that after all this time, all of them (Kougyoku, Koumei, Titus, Muu) suddenly decided to change their decision. Didn’t they value their own identity as Reim? Alibaba wonders if maybe he is the one who is wrong, and thinks to himself that he really can’t keep up with this sudden change in everyone.

Aladdin, however, is feeling weird… this strange feeling of dread coming from inside his body… . This prompts something in Aladdin’s head to click. It can’t be, but… as he remember’s Sinbad’s words about rewriting the rules of the rukh, he looks at Titus and the others and notices it - it looks like the rukh of everyone has been altered.

Once outside, Aladdin tells Alibaba about what Sinbad did (meaning, those two didn’t get altered somehow, I suppose), explaining that the Sacred Palace is the rukh’s control room, and that it’s possible to use it to manipulate’s everyone’s thoughts.

Next scene is those two now visiting Sinbad. He quickly admits what he did, and Aladdin replies that he absolutely cannot accept it. Sinbad, however, simply says that he did the same thing as King Solomon. He enforced his will, and those who opposed it were “fallen”. Do they really want to support such an irrational world?!

He then continues complaining about Solomon and his definition of “hope”, saying how he (Sinbad) unified everything and everyone, and basically accusing Aladdin of “trying to disturb the world”.

Aladdin replies that he has seen people who have chosen to fight something out of their own will, so he can’t agree with Sinbad. In response, Sinbad asks him to “release” them from Alma Toran (I’m not sure about this line). If Aladdin goes to the Sacred Palace, surely he can rewrite the rukh again, but that would be “Aladdin’s Will”. How is that different from what he did? Or actually, if the magi from that past destroyed world were to push his opinion on them… that would be really arrogant.

This makes Aladdin turn to Alibaba - what does he think? Sinbad asks him as well - who is right?

More to follow, I’m sure!! For the time being… if Sinbad changed Alibaba’s rukh too, this could spell trouble… .

Well, that was interesting. Now that the cards are on the table, and regardless of Alibaba’s answer, it is clear that the story has just passed a “point of no return” - meaning the conflict between Aladdin and Sinbad seems to be unavoidable now.

One question is, has Alibaba’s rukh changed? I would say no, as it would be really silly of Aladdin to notice everyone else’s and not his, plus Alibaba seems as confused with all the changes as himself. The teaser text also mentions that he will give a very “Alibaba-like” answer, so… .
