If Magi Season 3 ever happens, I’d love some more opportunistic interactions between characters during the Summit. This one comic is so spot on with the Big Three’s characterization, it begs to be included in some form.
{Note, clicking on the left arrow will go to the next panel in the sequence, followed by 2 bonuses and a prequel, but I put the panels up in sequential order at the end for convenience--don’t know who to credit for it, but it’s brilliant!}
Here’s a bit of my Season 3 scripting inspired from said comic
SCENE:
After many drinks, Sin is passed out, mumbling about beautiful women, and Kouen is rambling on about his goatee. Myron/Koumei/Ja’far find the trio
Muu: *sweatdrop* Hey, Myron, Could you get Lord Sinbad to his bed?
Myron: Yeah, yeah, whatever...
Ja’far: (thinking) Wait...Sin’s drunk…
(out loud) Stop! Don’t let a female near that drunk man!
Sin makes passes at Myron, but she goes unladylike to defend herself against him
Muu: I think she’ll be fine, Sir Ja’far.
Ja’far: -_-+ I’m gonna kill him.
Muu: (to Ja’far and Koumei) Would you fellas care to share a drink with me?
Ja’far: I’d rather not. Nothing personal.
Koumei: It would not be wise for me to consume, however I do not mind keeping you company as you have your fill. Your tolerance seems to be high, whereas mine is low.
Muu: Haha. Well, I am part Fanalis. I’ve already had three times the amount as your brother.
Ja’far: In that case, I would appreciate it if you were more insistent on not drinking with King Sin next time. He is supposed to be on an alcohol abstinence right now.
Muu: My apologies, I tried my hardest.
Kouen: (mumbling to self) What does Hakuryuu mean that my fashion sense is like Hakuei’s cooking?! *slams table*
Koumei: Seems like I must offer my apologies, I should get my brother and king to bed.
Ja’far: Please, allow me. It’s the least I can do to make up for my king’s behavior, especially after he instigated all this.
Koumei: Why thank you *smiles with hand behind head*
(eyes narrow thinking) This is perfect, now I can solidify our arrangement with Reim while my brother and king sees to weakening Sindria.
Ja’far: My pleasure *smiles as hoisting Kouen up with arm around his shoulder*
(eyes narrow thinking) This is perfect, now I can gather intelligence without seeming suspicious.
Bonus:
In Kouen’s cabin, Ja’far lets Kouen down on his bed
Kouen: No one’s ever complimented my goatee. Tell me, do you like it? Be honest. I can take it.
Ja’far: Hmmm, well Sin did say how he liked how you could pull it off. Yes. I think it suits you.
Kouen: Is that so? Huh, didn’t think your king had such good taste. Perhaps...he isn’t so bad.
