Ep 6. Fanalis, the Warrior Tribe

Aladdin, Alibaba, and Morgiana finally arrive at their destination, the Reim Empire. They were initially reluctant to enter the country because of its reputation for being strict with outsiders. However, there was no other way to save Morgiana who was poisoned during their travels. The only known cure of the poison can only be found in the Reim Empire.

Upon their arrival, the trio noticed that the city has a diverse population—not just humans. There are also talking animals, orcs, and other humanoid creatures. This only speaks of the empire's power and reputation in being able to maintain peace and order amongst its diverse citizens.

Their excitement was short lived as the guards at the entrance immediately singled Morgiana out. They noticed her red hair and tackled her to the ground, accusing her of being a Fanalis, a race known for being fierce and violent. They quickly find out that Morgiana is not associated with the Fanalis, but her ordeal results in Aladdin and Alibaba being separated from her while she is subjected to a thorough interrogation.

Meanwhile, Aladdin and Alibaba meet Hakuryuu Ren, a prince of the Kou Empire, who agrees to help them. He takes them to his home where they meet his mother who is the current Empress of Kou. She is an intelligent strategist with a calm demeanor but is also feared by many. The Empress explains to them that the Kou Empire is in the midst of a political struggle against Reim and that they were sent to investigate the country's military power. In turn, Aladdin and Alibaba share their mission and ask for permission to enter the Reim Empire to find a cure for Morgiana.

To enter the Reim Empire, they must become gladiators. Hakuryuu agrees to help them and takes them to the arena where they would have to fight. The gladiators are asked to battle each other with their household magic, where Aladdin and Alibaba are forced to reveal their powers. With their superior strength and teamwork, they easily defeat their opponents. Their victory impresses the spectators and also gains the attention of the reigning champion- Fanalis, the Warrior Tribe.

Fanalis is a champion from the Fanalis tribe, a race known for their brute strength and battle skills. Her entire tribe is currently enslaved by the Reim Empire, forced to fight in the arena as gladiators. Fanalis is known for her blunt and antagonistic personality, and she is hostile towards Aladdin and Alibaba. She sees them as weak compared to her, and she couldn't believe that they have the same powers as her tribe.

Despite their initial hostility towards each other, Aladdin and Fanalis begin to connect over their shared powers as Magi. Fanalis tells Aladdin about her tribe, which has been enslaved by the Reim Empire and is forced to fight in the arena. Aladdin is appalled by this and vows to help her and her tribe. Alibaba, on the other hand, is more preoccupied with finding a cure for Morgiana and wants to leave as soon as possible.

The episode ends with Aladdin and Fanalis bonding over their shared power as Magi. Alibaba struggles with his own morality, trying to balance his mission to find a cure for Morgiana, and his newfound responsibility to help Fanalis and her tribe.

Overall, the episode shines a light on the political and social intrigue of the Reim Empire, as well as the complicated relationships between the protagonists and the people they meet. The gladiator sequence and the introduction of Fanalis and her tribe serve as exciting plot points that add to the tension and stakes of the show.
