Ep 6. A Kind Person

Aladdin and Morgiana's trek to Balbadd brings them to a rundown village where they experience some unexpected hospitality. They are taken in by an old woman named Baba, who feeds them, offers them a place to stay, and shares her life story with them.

Baba used to be a famous fortune-teller in the capital until she was betrayed by her apprentice and stripped of her title. Left with nothing, she retreated to this village where she now lives alone, surviving on what little she can scrape together.

Moved by Baba's kindness and resilience, Aladdin and Morgiana decide to help her out. They quickly discover that the village is plagued by a group of bandits who steal their meager harvests and terrorize the villagers. Unable to sit idly by, Aladdin and Morgiana hatch a plan to catch the bandits and put an end to their misdeeds.

The plan involves Aladdin disguising himself as a helpless farmer and baiting the bandits into attacking him, while Morgiana hides in the shadows and waits for her moment to strike. The plan goes off without a hitch, and the two of them are able to defeat the bandits and retrieve the stolen goods.

With the bandits gone, the village is able to prosper once again. Baba is overjoyed at the generosity of her new friends and sheds tears of gratitude. It's a heartwarming moment that underscores the power of kindness and the importance of helping those in need.

Later that night, as Aladdin and Morgiana prepare to continue on their journey, Baba gives them each a gift. She gives Aladdin a magical flute that has the power to summon a djinn, and she gives Morgiana a pair of ruby slippers that can boost her strength and speed.

The gifts serve as a reminder of the bonds that can be formed between strangers, and the unexpected ways in which people can help each other out. It's a poignant message that resonates long after the episode has ended, and one that speaks to the core values of the Magi series as a whole.

Overall, A Kind Person is a beautiful episode that highlights the best aspects of the Magi series. It's a testament to the power of storytelling and the ability of anime to inspire empathy and compassion in its viewers. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the series or a newcomer to the world of Magi, this episode is an absolute must-watch.
