In which Sinbad tells us what he is actually thinking.

Status: Confirmed



Chapter is called “Innovator”.

As last time, Sinbad tells Aladdin that he might be able to talk to him. Aladdin, however, questions his motive for this, since they needn’t have come here to talk. He wanted to test himself against their strength, right? To prove that he was the most qualified to become God.

Sinbad replies that it isn’t exactly like that. He didn’t want to prove that he was the best or anything. It’s fine of there are others more qualified than himself to lead the world into the right path, and so, he called the 4 of them, who were promising, to the Sacred Palace. That said, it’s not like he is just going to hand over his power.

Seren then repeats their question, and this time, Aladdin replies that because it is an unreasonable world, by clashing with others and gradually changing, they can live by their own will. This is his answer.

it is an unreasonable world, by clashing with others and gradually changing, they can live by their own will. This is his answer. And Sinbad’s? He says Aladdin is right. Even he understood that even if wars didn’t stop, everyone would live on. Then why did he try to change the world? Because he wanted to. Aladdin is right - not being able to change is painful. I think he then says something like he wanted to change the world in ways no one wanted, and even his former comrades didn’t want him to continue innovating.

He clarifies that by “former comrades” he is talking about the Eight Generals. Once, they set out to better the world… creating a country, creating the alliance, getting rid of wars… indeed, they were innovators, and the world was completed. But then… something unexpected happened, and everyone quit. I don’t really understand his next phrase, but it is something like that you end up too attached to what you have built, like how Ja’far was desperate to maintain the International Alliance and the SSA. Sharrkan and the others too, missed the old Sindria (though he says it was natural they did).

Being told that they missed the old days, that they should go back to how things were, was painful for him. He wanted to continue moving forward and evolving. Aladdin asks if he is talking about fate.

We then see a glimpse of Alibaba, Hakuryuu, and Judar, the later of whom comments on how the Sun is going down.

Back to Aladdin, he follows up Sinbad’s comments by saying that he doesn’t think that the feeling of wanting to protect what you have created is bad. Sinbad agrees with this - wanting to protect your family or your country is not bad, and it’s in fact only natural, but ironically enough, it is the clash of these feelings what creates war.

Aladdin closes his eyes, and the scene changes to his thoughts, where we see different depictions of past events, with a chant of “For the sake of protecting!”. If everyone just wants to make things better, then why do things end up like this? People dream, and try to fulfill their dreams, and when the time comes to protect what they have achieved, they will draw weapons and do anything.

Aladdin says he finally understands that Sinbad simply felt sorrow over the whole thing (aka that since war is born from the natural feelings of humans, it can’t be avoided). Since war and unreasonableness wouldn’t go way, that’s why he rewrote everyone’s hearts? As Sinbad puts it, he does not approve of his use of God’s powers. Like he said before, he does not agree with what he is trying to do. At this, Sinbad replies if he has wondered who was that put him in this position as God?

was that put him in this position as God? David, Arba, Ugo, they all thought that “Sinbad” was death. But he revived. Why was what? Wasn’t it Solomon’s Will?

And that is that for now. It is clearly incomplete, so I’ll try to update it later!

And all done! :D
