If a king brings nothing but suffering to the people, get rid of him.
The people can choose their own representatives, set up a republic, and hold congress.
The people themselves should be the ones who decide how their country should be.
Let's turn Balbadd into a People's Republic, with no more disparity between the classes!
Let us carve our path and create a place where we can live in happiness!
And that place is the new country of Balbadd!
I'm not going to run any longer.
I'm going to have to put off our promise for a little bit though.
Wait for me, Aladdin.
Swing, pendulum.
Reverse the flow of fate!
I'll never forget this sight.
I'll burn it into my mind so that things may be this way forever!
You're here!
Kassim!

Kassim's Answer
It's Kassim.
Kassim's here.
It's Kassim from the Fog Troupe.
Hey, you don't need to do this anymore.
This country no longer has a king.
Prince Alibaba said that the country belongs to the people!
And so, you no longer have a reason to fight.
What will you do, Kassim?
Alibaba, did you cause all this commotion?
You never fail to impress me.
You've always been like this.
If you thought it was the right thing to do for someone else's sake, you would never give up.
That's why I always stuck with you.
And now, for the sake of this country, and for the sake of stopping my plans...
You've come up with this solution.
But you know...
What's going to happen?
I dunno...
I heard that Balbadd has become a republic.
That what was once the king's country is now to be given equally to its people.
What a load of crap.
It belongs to us now?
But isn't this entire country built upon our sweat and blood?
Wasn't it ours to begin with?
Who destroyed this country through incompetent policies?
Who made us put up with a terrible ruler?
You remember those days.
When heavy taxes took everything from us.
When starvation took our parents, our siblings.
The dead won't ever come back!
If the monarchy disappears, do the crimes of the monarchy disappear with it?
Of course not!
The monarchy is still an enemy we must defeat!
That's right.
He's right.
Even if we become a republic, my daughter will never come back to me.
Neither will my baby sister.
To talk about equality now is unfair.
It doesn't make sense.
Come! Now is the time we take a stand!
Now is the time we punish the royalty, the nobles, and the military who stole our country from us!
Fate has begun to flow in reverse.
And I can finally reap the rewards of giving household vessels to you.
Oh no!
No way!
Kassim, why?!
Sorry, Alibaba.
This is my answer.
Aladdin!
Is he... dead?
Aladdin!
Aladdin.
Aladdin!
Hey.
Welcome back, Aladdin.
Ugo!
That's right.
Do you think you could set me up straight?
I created these guys.
After you left, things got really quiet.
I died, didn't I?
Died?
I mean, look at how weird my body is!
Look!
Don't worry, you haven't died.
I just asked the rukh to bring your consciousness in here.
Your physical body is still alive on the surface.
But it was close.
You were too reckless. You really could've died.
I tried to bring that other Magi too, but I wasn't able to.
I will not allow those of the Holy Palace to do as they please.
Things are only getting started.
The world has only just started falling into darkness.
Kill them all!
Kill everyone in the palace!
Kill all the nobles and powerful people in town!
We have a problem!
Riots are spreading all around the palace!
Damn it! What is going on?
There are people on the surface who are trying to reverse the flow of fate.
Reverse the flow of fate?
Normally, life flows as you know it,
slowly but relentlessly forward.
You have been guided by the rukh,
and on your journey here, you've met various djinn and their masters.
That was fate.
To take that forward progress and regress it, to turn something into nothing,
to try to reverse the flow and turn everything into yin or the negative.
That is known as falling into depravity.
Falling into depravity...
When that happens, the rukhs' bodies get dyed black.
As do Magi.
I too was surprised when a Magi dyed in darkness appeared in front of you.
You should've died in that fight
as a result of the reversed fate his people created.
But I fought against that.
I used up all of the magoi left to me by my master though.
You tried to give me your magoi, but I'm not your djinn.
I cannot take your magoi, even if it is a copy of my master's.
I can no longer protect you.
That's why I've used the very last dredges of power left in the flute to call you here.
There is something very important I must give you.
Look.
Alibaba!
The way things are now, your chosen king will perish.
But this is not how fate was supposed to flow.
It is a reverse flow, brought about to create darkness.
Even if the people try their hardest to repel the darkness, it will not be enough.
When the world turns to darkness,
the people need the power to cut away and cut across the darkness.
In other words, a miracle.
It's a Magi's mission to carry that out.
In order for you to fulfill your mission, you must first go to a certain place.
So that you may learn firsthand about this world, about the flow of fate.
When you have, you will gain my master's wisdom.
The wisdom of Solomon.
Goodbye, Aladdin.
I will never see you again.
Let's be friends!
It might be too soon to leave you to your own devices though.
No, that's not true.
Aladdin was able to make so many friends on the surface.
Even without me by his side, Aladdin will be just fine.
Open... sesame!
O, Holy Palace! O, mighty King Solomon!
Please return this child to the surface.
And please bestow upon him your knowledge, your power of miracles!
Where am I?
This is the entrance to a great maelstrom of knowledge.
Look.
Each little speck is a particle of the world's truths.
You will now travel amongst them all and be reborn anew, Magi.
Who are you?
All will be clear once you complete this long journey.
Thank goodness. Color has returned to his cheeks.
Kill the royalty!
Give my daughter back!
Please take good care of him. We must be going.
Let's head to the palace, Masrur.
Deputy King!
Order the armed forces to go on the offensive!
They may be our citizens, but this is an all-out war.
The number of casualties in town and the plaza are growing.
Please give your order!
What should we do, Alibaba?
Half of the military will head towards the main gates.
See if they can stop the rebels from entering.
The rest of the army is to try to gain control over the rebels that have already broken through.
My brothers and those injured should take refuge in the inner sanctuary.
As the former head of the enemy forces, I will take the lead.
I will stop Kassim!
We cut through the military like butter.
Let's keep up the pace and break through to the inner sanctuary.
He's here.
Yo, Alibaba.
What's the matter?
Man, you look scary.
Kassim, what are you planning?
The monarchy is done for.
There's no reason for all this bloodshed!
Why are you doing this?
Answer me, Kassim!
I could ask you the same thing, Alibaba.
Equality? A country without a king?
When did I ever wish for something like that?
Damn it, Kassim!
They also have swords of shackling ebon fog?
Doesn't matter. Amon's flames...
will cut right through their fog!
Sword of scarlet fog!
My vision!
Say, Alibaba.
Do you think that a royal's kid should live as royalty?
And that a kid from the slums should always live as a slum's brat?
I don't.
We're all humans.
Which means that any one of us is qualified to become king!
Amon!
What's that?
Look at his sword!
In other words, Kassim, you wanted to become king.
Isn't that right?
Who knows.
Then what?!
Why have you involved so many people in this?
I won't let you do as you please!
Shut up already!
I'll melt your mouth of with my sword of corroding fog!
Take this!
What!
Call your troops back, Kassim.
Or I'll make you do it by force.
I won't back down, Alibaba.
I'd rather die than back down here.
You came here determined to do the same, didn't you?
So do it.
Do it!
I said do it, Alibaba!
Damn you, Kassim!
Please strike, Prince Alibaba!
One strike and all will end!
Damn it!!
As if I could do that, you idiot!
If you withdraw your troops now Kassim, the revolt will stop!
If that happens, there'll still be a chance for you too!
So please!
You're too naive, Alibaba.
There's no way that would happen.
See ya.
I guess I have no choice.
If you want to curse your own fate, use the power that sleeps within this weapon.
But in the case that you are not the right container for that power, you will die.
Fate, huh?
Take a good look, people of the slums!
Military, nobles, and royalty too!
I'll show you proof that anyone can be a container for power!
Come to me now!
If a person like him uses his blood to command the household vessels,
the vessels will all gather as one.
He has become the bearer of the ebon container.
No way!
It can't be!
A... black... demon!
"kimi ni ha yuuki ga aru"
"You're a hero."

And see the world
You're the only one who can save this country!
I'll make you mine!
Why would you go so far, Alibaba?
