Alibaba Saluja

Alibaba Saluja (アリババ・サルージャ, Aribaba.Sarūja) is the former third Prince of Balbadd. He was working as a Cart Driver when he first met Aladdin. He is the owner of the Djinn, Amon. Alibaba was the leader of the Fog Troupe. He is a Dungeon Capturer, capturing one Dungeon, and Aladdin's King Candidate. He is one of the main characters of the series Magi.

Appearance
Alibaba is an average sized young man with blonde hair and gold eyes. He has a short and thick ahoge. He usually wears a traditional Arabian outfit with a sash around his waist to hold his knife. He has a small red rope he wears around his neck at all times. He wore black boots with blue stripes, and one earing on each ear. It is later shown that he highly resembles his mother, having her soft facial features and kind eyes.

At the end of the Balbadd Arc, Alibaba is shown wearing two red earrings on the top of his left ear (which presumably belonged to Kassim and holds his rukh).

In the World Exploration Arc, after training in the Reim Empire, Alibaba started wearing a dark blue tunic which slants on his left side. He also started to wear black boots with burgundy stripes, and has scars on his arm's from where Garda bit him.

Personality
Initially, Alibaba was shown as being very cunning and petty, but since childhood he has always tried his best to do honest work. He would respect wealthy merchants and do his best to please them, often with flattering sophistry and laughing when they call him trash. Originally, he also tried to be friends with Aladdin for his strength.

Like Aladdin, he likes beautiful, busty women and they usually go clubbing whenever they can (except he appears to have very bad luck in there, always getting a rather ugly-looking lady who claims to be the most beautiful in the club). However, it was shown that he was actually very kind, caring and helpful. Due to having a high class education since he was young, he is also very skilled in negotiations and much more intelligent than he appears. He has no patience for those who wallow in their power at the expense of others suffering. At the same time, he can be a rather oblivious person, as he naively trusts Sinbad.

He is dedicated to helping everyone and can seem a little hard-headed, like when he goes into a fight without any help because he wants to settle something himself. He is very loyal to his friends. He became good friends with Aladdin and Morgiana and cares a lot for them. Since his Magoi has become one with Kassim's Magoi, his aura/atmosphere and behavior have changed, taking on some of Kassim's personality and habits; for example, smoking. Alibaba wanted to smoke but he still couldn't handle it. He acknowledges this change and decides to accept it as a final gift.

History
When Alibaba was younger, he lived in the slums of Balbadd with his mom, Anise. One day his mother saw Kassim and his sister being beaten by their father, so she went over to save them and took them in as a member of her family. One day, Alibaba's mother succumbed to an illness and died. At that point Kassim took on the roll of taking care of them.

After a few days the King of Balbadd came to the slums and told Alibaba that he was his son and the he will live in the palace. He had a difficult life from that point on because he was a brat from the slums. The Princes saw him as trash and even the King, the person who brought him, in ignored him when in the palace. He was lonely and had to go through intense daily training. He was taught everything from how he walks, speaks and eats, to sword fighting, economics, math, and philosophy. Eventually, everyone started speaking to him properly and he even became close with one of the Princes. One night, years later, Alibaba snuck out of the palace to have a look at the slums. What he found there was nothing, no trace of junkyard street or people. As he was about to go back to the palace, he ran into Kassim. Alibaba was happy and felt nostalgic talking to Kassim after all those years. He went out to drink with Kassim and talk. While drinking, he noticed the level of respect Kassim had with all the adults, and how each were bowing to him. During the talk, Alibaba got drunk and told Kassim how he was able to escape from the castle. He ended up giving away a very important weakness of the palace. On the way back to the palace, Alibaba was trailed by someone Kassim had paid. After that, Alibaba went back to living in the palace. After sometime had passed, the King came down with a deadly chronic disease. Before the king died, he told Alibaba that he would like to leave the kingdom to him. Alibaba asked about his mother and was told of how the King loved his mom. This put Alibaba at ease. He decided to refuse the King's request for him to be king, saying that it was not his place and that the two Princes should be the one to handle their country. That night, he saw Kassim again, inside the walls of the palace. Before Alibaba realized it, he was surrounded by members of Kashim's group from the slums. They started attacking and stealing from the palace. While Alibaba was frozen, one of Kassim's subordinates noticed him. He told Kassim and Kassim said to just knock him out. Alibaba could only feel the heat of the flame that engulfed the palace. The next morning, the King had passed away. Because of his feelings of guilt and fear, he escaped Balbadd that same day. From that point, he traveled until he ran into Aladdin.

Dungeon Arc
Alibaba was first introduced as a Cart Driver to a fat wine vendor, Budel. Aladdin was also on this cart. Alibaba quickly scolded Aladdin for insulting Budel. During this time, they talked to each other and Alibaba told Aladdin all about Dungeons to know what a Dungeon was and a little about Alibaba's dream. Budel then began to insult Alibaba's dream and even though it was clear Alibaba was frustrated, he held his tongue to Budel.

Just then, their cart was attacked by a Desert Hyacinth, from underneath and the whole thing was tipped over. All Budel's wine was thrown over along with a little girl who was riding along. As Alibaba reached out to save the little girl, he was pushed out the way by Budel, who was trying to save his wine, causing the little girl to be eaten by the Desert Hyacinth. The mother, grief stricken was told by Budel he would buy her another one if the little girl meant so much to her.

In that instant, Alibaba couldn't contain himself any longer and punched Budel in the face. He then took Budel's wine rushed in to save the girl. Aladdin tried to summon Ugo, but because the flute was full of sand, he could not. Alibaba threw in Budel's wine to distract the Hyacinth and saved the girl while it was digesting the wine. He successfully saved the girl, but was captured himself by the Hyacinth. Alibaba tried to fight, but was knocked unconscious. Just then, Aladdin flew in with his magic turban and a lot of wine, Aladdin threw all of the wine inside the Dessert Hyacinth's mouth much to the dismay of Budel. This saves Alibaba. Both were thanked for their bravery. Aladdin was still trying to summon Ugo and when he finally, did everyone was freaked out except Alibaba. Ugo had given Alibaba an idea.

Eventually, they both made their way to the oasis city Qishan. They walked together and made their way to a room were Alibaba said he would treat Aladdin to some food and that they were friends. This made Aladdin very happy. During their meal Alibaba asked about Ugo and was the deal with the flute. During the talk, Alibaba asked if he found Ugo in a Dungeon, which Aladdin answered no and that he is looking for the Djinn Metal Vessels. In that moment, Aladdin was convinced he should go to a Dungeon to look much to the surprise of Alibaba. Just than Alibaba's boss came in to scold him for destroying Budel's wine and costing them a lot of money. Alibaba was very sorry and told his boss not to worry since he was going to pay him back by Dungeon Diving. Aladdin summoned Ugo and surprised and reassured Alibaba's boss of their success.

During this, however, Alibaba said that Aladdin was his servant, this greatly upset Aladdin. Alibaba didn't understand this and thought it was about the money. When he reassured Aladdin of his cut and Aladdin still didn't seem to enthusiastic, Alibaba became nervous in that Aladdin wouldn't want to Dungeon Dive anymore. He took Aladdin to a night club because he remembered how happy Aladdin became when he talked about girls before.

Aladdin eventually told Alibaba what was bothering him and Alibaba took it back and apologized, this made Aladdin happy again. Afterwards, Alibaba took Aladdin to the Seventh Dungeon, Amon. Alibaba started to become discouraged because of all the deaths caused by this dungeon, but after Aladdin encouraged him he became enthusiastic again. They were going to enter, but didn't. They decided to wait before they went in to get prepared for their Diving. They went shopping for supplies and ran into Morgiana and quickly realized that she was a a slave. Aladdin, not knowing the severity of the situation, broke her chained legs to set her free. Budel then came around a saw this illegal action and called the police to arrest them. They used Ugo to run and made their way into the Dungeon.

As they were transported through the Dungeon's door and through a tunnel of light, Aladdin arrived their first in a pool of water and Alibaba arrived much later, long enough for Aladdin's cloths to dry. With them both there they decided to go exploring the beautiful Dungeon. Alibaba decided to go down a particular tunnel, but Aladdin became scared and made him change his mind so they can take their time and think about what they should do next. Unbeknownst to both of them this decision saved their lives. When they made their way back they noticed how many doors there were and how each had a symbol on the wall next to them. Alibaba quickly figured out what it all meant and quickly came up with the correct entrance. In the right path they came upon beautiful rainbow like balls and Alibaba dubbed them rainbow balls. The rainbow balls began cracking and hatching ant like monsters. Aladdin was being eaten by one when Alibaba pulled him out of it.

They found themselves surrounded by these ant like monsters about to be attack when Aladdin summoned Ugo to escape. they managed to escape but Aladdin became very tired and called back Ugo. They soon realized they were followed by the ant like monsters who had copied Ugo's leg muscles to catch up. As Alibaba tried to cut these monsters, his knife went right through them. He realized that they were Slime able to take on any appearance. All the slime monsters than started to merge together and made a giant slime monster. Aladdin summoned Ugo once again to defeat this monster with Ugo's Heat Magic. He made quick work of the slime monster but this in turn exhausted Aladdin and he fell into a deep sleep. Alibaba hid him in a crack in the wall to let him rest.

After Alibaba fell asleep he awoke suddenly to hear the voices of Jamil and his two slaves Morgiana and Goltas. Alibaba thought they would pass without noticing them but Morgiana smelled them and came into the crack. Though Alibaba became desperate to protect Aladdin, Jamil completely ignored him. Jamil addressed Aladdin as Magi much to the wonder of Alibaba. Jamil than took Aladdin and his flute still ignoring Alibaba. When Alibaba finally got Jamil's attention he was forced to work for him to stick close to Aladdin. Alibaba then translated something Jamil couldn't read making Jamil angry and eventually Alibaba was forced to become the scapegoat for a trap resulting in him falling in a trap door making everyone believe he had perished. After this Aladdin woke up.

Aladdin was told that Alibaba had went on ahead in the dungeon and not to worry. They all soon came into a fork in the road with no way of knowing which way of going Jamil thought it best for him and Goltas to check out one direction with Morgiana staying to watch over Aladdin. While alone, Aladdin tried to make Morgiana laugh and though he succeeded, she became angry with him and told him of Alibaba's presumed demise. Alibaba than came out and told Aladdin to come with him as Aladdin used his Magic Turban to escape Morgiana. She noticed and tried to stop them, however she failed and allowed them to escape. Alibaba told Aladdin how he found a door he couldn't open, which caused Aladdin to tell him that he knew how to open it. Aladdin came up to the doors put both his hands on them and said, "Open Sesame" and the doors opened.

They found themselves walking through a lot of fog and when it finally cleared they were amazed at the huge city stretched out before there eyes. As they went exploring Alibaba decided to name it; "Aladdin and Alibaba Park", and how Alibaba would be the major and Aladdin would be his vice major. They made there way into the tallest building and started to look around. Only to find it was an empty storage room, as they were about to turn around to look in the other buildings. Goltas blocked the entrance as he was falling down. In the next instant Morgiana came in and kicked Aladdin off into the distance and followed him to finish it. Alibaba stayed there to fight Jamil and even though Jamil was confident in his swordsmanship he was quickly overwhelmed by Alibaba's own sword ability.

As Jamil became desperate he screamed for Morgiana to come and save him which she did at speeds that surprised Alibaba. Even though Alibaba tried to convince her to join his side so she wouldn't have to be a slave anymore she couldn't bring herself to do and attack Alibaba. Jamil ordered her to kill Alibaba and as she was about to finish Alibaba off, Aladdin came to save him by destroying u weapon. Aladdin Summoned a lot of Rukh with a magic staff he had found to attack with Magoi. As Aladdin and Morgiana went in for a final clash, he came out the victor by using Magoi to pin her to a wall. Aladdin then walked over to Jamil to ask for his flute back Jamil started insisting that Aladdin make him king to which Aladdin responded, "I can't think of anyone less qualified to be King". This made Jamil fall into depression. Aladdin and Alibaba then made their way into the main room, where Aladdin touched a pot in the center of the room, summoning Amon.

Once summoned, Amon did an assessment of everyone in the room and quickly realized who Aladdin was. Ugo was then summoned and began to speak with Amon. Alibaba was allowed to take all the treasure he wanted and Aladdin was told a little of what a Magi is. Just as they were continuing their conversation, the Dungeon started to collapse. Judar was outside collapsing the Dungeon saying how it was annoying. Aladdin and Alibaba made haste to the center of the room where Amon had made an escape route. Amon called over to Morgiana to come too, but she wanted to save Jamil first. Alibaba tried to talk her out of it, but she would not stop.

Goltas then intercepted her and told her that it was too late for him and Jamil. He broke the chains on Morgiana's feet and made her leave. Jamil woke up and started looking for Morgiana, only to see her going to safety while he was being crushed under huge boulders. As the group was leaving, Amon decided to join them by going inside Alibaba's knife thus becoming Alibaba's Djinn. While transporting outside the Dungeon, Aladdin and Alibaba decided to have a chat. Alibaba thanked Aladdin for allowing him the chance to Dungeon Dive. Aladdin thanked Alibaba for being his friend and shared his sadness that their journey would end there. Alibaba, however, said that it won't and that this is just the beginning. In that moment, a light went off and Alibaba woke up where the Dungeon had disappeared. Aladdin woke up in the Kouga Village and Morgiana woke up in the outskirts of Qishan.

Using all the treasure he got from the Dungeon, he freed all the slaves and took over Jamil's old job. Budel was now under hihm and was kissing up to him. All the while, he was waiting for Aladdin to come back, but he never did. Eventually, Morgiana came to thank him and as they talked, he became aware that he shouldn't stay in one place, that he should go out looking for Aladdin. He headed towards Balbadd to take care of some business.

Balbadd Arc
In Balbadd, there is a man by the name of "Wonder Man Alibaba", who is an infamous thief that gives all their stolen goods to the poor. Aladdin and Morgiana do not believe this is the Alibaba they know, but are soon proven wrong. Alibaba is next seen as one of the masked members of the Fog Troupe. This reveals that the "Wonder Man Alibaba", was him after all. As Aladdin and Ugo block the way, Alibaba asked Aladdin if he could stand down and allow his men to continue. Aladdin did so with no problem. Aladdin told Alibaba that he was happy to see him and that he had a lot to tell him. Aladdin said that they had a promise to travel together. Alibaba responded saying that he was sorry, and that he can't keep that promise", much to the horror of Aladdin. Alibaba then summons Amon, to allow his men to escape. By creating a giant wall of fire, the entire Fog Troupe escapes successfully.

Alibaba is next seen talking to the SML Brothers about their entry in the Fog Troupe. After he makes it very clear what his organization was about and what not to do, he dismisses everyone. He goes to talk to Kassim about the current state of events. The conversation ends with him not understanding what Kassim is thinking. He goes to his room, only to find Morgiana waiting for him. She ask him why he is doing what he is and to go see Aladdin. Even though he says she has nothing to do with it, she picks him up and forcefully brings him to Aladdin.

Alibaba arrives at Aladdin's room, though first it is awkward, they eventually open up and tell each other everything. Aladdin told them of his adventures in the Kouga Village and Alibaba told them of his past along with why he decided to break their promise. By the end of it all, Aladdin told Alibaba that he wanted to help him and that they should figure something out, together.

Kassim then breaks down the door, to get Alibaba back. The Fog Troupe starts to attack the hotel they were staying at, so Sinbad, Masrur and Jafar begin to fight them. Morgiana tries to attack Kassim, but is saved by Alibaba. Part way through, they realize that Sinbad is there and try to capture him, but fails due to Sinbad's Magoi Control. Sinbad turns his attention to Alibaba and after Sinbad insults the Fog Troupe, Alibaba gets offended and begins to fight him. Though it looked like Alibaba had the upper hand, he was quickly defeated. Once the Fog Troupe's leader was defeated, Kassim chose to run. Sinbad said that he just wanted to see how many people were truly dedicated to the group and that he really wanted to help them. After Sinbad agrees to help, he takes Alibaba to see Ahbmad Saluja and Sahbmad Saluja, to discuss things over. While there, not only did Alibaba not get a chance to talk things out with the King but he was even completely ignored.

Judar makes his appearance while they were talking. Judar passed by Aladdin, who noted that Judar was like a black sun. Judar interrupted the conversation Alibaba was trying to make and started his own thing. Later on, Alibaba was feeling distraught because of his meeting with the king. Sinbad encouraged him saying that they came from just a thieves guild to an actual movement who met with the King. Judar made another appearance and start talking to Sinbad, until he noticed something was weird about the Rukh around Aladdin. When Sinbad told him its because Aladdin was a Magi, Judar felt it hard to believe. He attacked both Aladdin and Alibaba. His attack punctured Alibaba's chest. As Alibaba could not attack, he sat back and watched Aladdin fight Judar. After the fight he is feeling less confident about everything up until he meets Kassim again which gives him the confidence he needs to ask Sinbad for training. Even though he learns a little about Djinn weapon equip and his Djinn he can not remain patient and ends his training early to confront his brother, the king. His impatience gets him in the door and after confronting various monsters and activating his Djinn Weapon Equip.

After taking them out with the help of Morgiana, he confronts the king and dethrones him. Afterwards Kassim and the fog troupe comes to attack the castle and when Alibaba goes to fend them off he is able to defeat them thanks to his Djinn Weapon Equip. Even though he was told to kill Kassim, Alibaba couldn't bring himself to do it. This allowed Kassim to stab himself and transform to a Dark Djinn.

Kassim in this form is very powerful and Alibaba was once again told to kill him and even though he managed to cut off his arm he couldn't deal the final blow. This is until Sinbad intervened and told Alibaba that he is the only person that can save Balbadd. Alibaba was forced to make a decision. Alibaba with the help of Morgiana continues to attack Kassim though eventually his sword breaks. Despite this he still gets up to fight until Aladdin came. When Aladdin arrived he was told that everyone believes in him and he is more powerful then he thinks. Aladdin then uses the Wisdom of Solomon to give Alibaba Magoi.

Aladdin summoned a large amount of Magoi to use his heat magic to shoot at Alibaba to power up Alibaba's Djinn weapon. After this Alibaba attacks Kassim again only to see Kassim inside. Aladdin sends Alibaba inside of Kassim to talk to him, inside he tries to talk to Kassim only to be responded by that he was always hated by Kassim. No matter what Alibaba does Kassim doesn't listen, they eventually fight ending in Alibaba victory.

This is due to Alibaba's overpowering Kassim's Dark Rukh with his White Rukh. After this Alibaba receives all of Kassim's painful memories and dies before he can tell Alibaba one last thing making Alibaba very sad until Aladdin summons Kassim to say there goodbyes.

Sindria Arc
6 months after the events in Balbadd. At first Alibaba and Aladdin were depressed over losing their friends and country, but by the time Sinbad came back to Sindria, they had starting feeling better and despite refusing to eat at first, grew very fat. Alibaba comes to greet Sinbad who points it out immediately. He seems to not notice it earlier but quickly adds that every dish in Sindria is delicous. He then explains that he decided, for sake of Kassim, to pull himself together. He asks Sinbad to tell him if there's something he can do, because he wants to prevent another situation similar to that of Balbadd's. Sinbad thinks that even if he's little fatter, that doesn't change a thing, and curing depression with eating is not that uncommon anyway. When he sees Aladdin however, he orders both of them to run and to lose their weight. Several weeks later, Alibaba comes back to his normal weight.

Later, Sinbad reveals his hope for Aladdin and Alibaba to lend their strenght to Sindria, just like Eight Generals, in order to fight Al-Thamen and "abnormalities of the world". He states that it was Al-Thamen that somewhat led Balbadd into civil war and now they want to do the same to the entire world. Alibaba trembles a little which is immediately noticed by Aladdin, but he says that he's fine. After the break, Sinbad says that current Alibaba and Aladdin are way to weak to fight them.

A little later, the two of them are introduced to Yamraiha. They are amazing by her beauty and air of someone gentle. However, their image is brutally destroyed when Aladdin sexually harass her. Then, Alibaba witnesses Aladdin receive a little training from Yamraiha. He's amazed to see what magic can do. After that, he thinks of Aladdin as someone amazing and displays his lack of confidence by trying to compare himself to him. Then, Sinbad, accompanied by Morgiana, comes and takes him with them. He asks Alibaba if he has done any progress with mastering his Djinn Equip, and sees Alibaba's broken sword. Sinbad says him that this sword is completly unusable, so he just has to choose a new one. Asked where he had obtained his old one, as Metal Vessel must be something important to its user, he explains that it was bought by money earned from his first successful trade negotiations, which his father happened to see. He was told that Balbadd is trading center and to continue training. After completing his story, he quickly adds that this knife was just something cheap, but he regret that it broke. Sinbad decides to give him a sword he received from previous King of Balbadd. Alibaba takes it.

After obtaining his new Metal Vessel, he, along with Sinbad and Morgiana, goes to find a Vessel for Morgiana. He finds out that people like her can become Household Members, in this case, she would borrow power from Alibaba's Djinn, Amon. Morgiana is down that she never worn any kind of jewerly, so Alibaba recommends her two devilish-looking manifers. Morgiana seems kind of happy and asks him if it suits her, to which he responds that she looks very strong. He's shocked when she brings her old shackles and wants to use them as her Household Vessel and he doesn't change his expression hearing that they are filled with the kindness of her most important people, meaning Aladdin, Goltas and Alibaba.

Soon after, Alibaba voices his wish to transfer Amon as soon as possible and asks Sinbad if he could be his teacher. Sinbad answers that there is someone much better at swordplay than him, but before saying anything more, they are called because the Southern Creature attacked Sindria. Both Alibaba and Morgiana are surprised seeing the reaction of people around them. After meeting with Aladdin, they are shown Sharrkan defeating the monster. Alibaba is stunned seeing how beautifully Sharrkan plated it, and comments that he's very skillful. After that, Sharrkan is officially introduced to Alibaba as his new fencing teacher. Even though Sharrkan is very happy that Alibaba wants to improve his swordsplay, he can't even remember his name. Yamraiha warns Alibaba to not be infected by Sharrkan's idioticy, then they start fighting. Alibaba is stunned at this situation, and can't believe when these two wants to compete and check whose disciple is better. Sharrkan wants to drag Alibaba to train immediately, but Sinbad stops them and says they have a celebration tonight.

During Mahrajan Festival, Alibaba says to Sinbad that this feast is incredible. He is then said to go and enjoy the festival. He soon meets Aladdin who was masked and gets his own mask from him. He then gets flowers from some girl and begins to wonder where Morgiana is. Then the girl takes off the mask and reveals herself to be Morgiana in person. He is dumbfounded by her appearence. Morgiana explains why she's dressed like this, and Aladdin comments that it really suits her. In the end, he is able to confirm and says she looks so beautiful that he though she was someone else. When she turns around, he can't wonders if he's said something wrong.

Alibaba asks her then whether it's alright for her to be with them, because she wanted to go back to the Dark Continent before. He wants explains that it's possible to take a direct ship from Reim Empire. She responds that she wants to fight with Al-Thamen alongside Aladdin and Alibaba and asks for their permission. Alibaba, shocked, thinks it's a little too much to asks that, but Aladdin asks if he isn't glad and happily answers that she can if she wants to. After hearing that, without any more doubts, he answers that Aladdin is right. Then they are seeing Morgiana dancing. He loudly says she's beautiful, but quickly tells other girls that they're beautiful as well.

Later, he goes a little away from Mahrajan's place with Aladdin. He asks him what he thinks of Al-Thamen. Alibaba says he cannot forgive them for what they've done to Kassim and how they induced him to believe he was a trash. He then adds that he also can't forgive himself because he wasn't able to stop him before their final confrontation. He is sure that no matter what you did, people can't become a trash and if there are more people like that, he wants to stop them. He states that he wants to fight for this reason. Aladdin says he will fight along with him, as to clear darkness was a reason for his birth. They also says that Sinbad is incredible as king. However, Aladdin says that Alibaba will become like that too; that one day in a distant future, he will become a king. Alibaba is speechless. During they way back, Alibaba still wonders about his small friend's words. He apologizes for delaying this topic for so long and says that Aladdin is incredible, waiting for him to realize this kind of things. Aladdin asks what is he talking about but adds to take care of him in the future as well.

After that, they meet up with Morgiana and others. Sinbad properly introduces Eight Generals to them. He explains Morgiana what is a Gladiator, since Masrur was introduced as such. He is stunned when he sees Hinahoho, and stops Aladdin from going to Drakon's wife. After mentioning everyone, Sinbad says that Eight Generals are people in situation similar to that of Alibaba. He realizes that there are people with their own problems from another countries, that are living in Sindria in harmony with each other. During blessing for Sinbad, he is amazed by fireworks. Aladdin says that Sindria is a small island and a big country and Alibaba clearly agrees. In the morning, Sinbad announces to him that one of Kou Empire's royal family, Prince Hakuryuu Ren will come to Sindria to study. Alibaba is then requested to carefully supervise him, even if it might be hard for him because of Balbadd's situation. Alibaba agrees.

After some time of strict training under Sharrkan, Amon finally moves to his new Metal Vessel. Alibaba thinks to himself that Sharrkan is like a different person during training. Sharrkan wants Alibaba to attack him with his Djinn Weapon Equip, but all his attacks are blocked. Sharrkan voices his disappointment and points out that there's better way of using his Djinn Weapon Equip, as currently Amon's sword isn't good enough for Alibaba. The youngest Saluja doesn't fully understands what he meant by this though. Then, Sharrkan wants to take Alibaba on a drink, not caring about his objections and the will to continue training.

Then, Alibaba is present when the ship with Hakuryuu and Kougyoku reaches Sindria. He watches with a curiousity when Kougyoku accused Sinbad of shaming her. After things quieted down, he and Aladdin go to meet Hakuryuu. Seeing Hakuryuu expressing his gratefulness for helping his sister, Alibaba thinks that he didn't expect such a nice guy. Hakuryuu then is called, so he apologizes for not being able to talk with Alibaba much and wants to do so on the next occasion. Alibaba then thinks for a while, so Aladdin asks him what's wrong. Alibaba answers that Hakuryuu reminded him of someone, but he couldn't figure out who.

After that, they meet up with Morgiana, who brought her newly made Household Vessel. Aladdin wants her to try them out. She puts it on her feet and tries to kick, but she ensnares Alibaba and Aladdin. Morgiana gets a little down, so Alibaba asks her what is wrong. She explains it's because no matter where she puts them, they are only ornaments and she doesn't know how to use them in a fight. Aladdin asks her what she wants to do with it and she replies that she wants a strenght that will be useful for the two of them. Alibaba says she's strong enough, but remembers that he was able to fight with the enemy in the air thanks to her throw. Aladdin adds he was saved by her mid-air as well and that it's incredible when she's with them, because it's like they have wings. She thinks about something, smiles and says to them that she will become their wings. Alibaba is worried about what she might have imagined.

When Alibaba, Morgiana and Aladdin are training, they are interrupted by Hakuryuu and Kougyoku. Kougyoku wants to become, at least temporarily, Aladdin's ally and he agrees, but soon the two of them starts fighting. Morgiana follows them, leaving Hakuryuu and Alibaba alone. Alibaba explains that a lot happened between them in Balbadd. Hakuryuu asks what about him, and suggest not to hide his hatred for Hakuryuu, even though he doesn't expect Alibaba to just go and speak honestly with a foe. Alibaba says he doesn't hide anything, but Hakuryuu still thinks otherwise, saying that his country did and probably does even now, horrible things to Balbadd, as the one dispatched in Balbadd as western campaign governor is first Prince of Kou Empire, Kouen Ren. He then explains how strong and fearsome Kouen is, then adds that he was prepared to be hated from a Prince from enemy country. Alibaba, however, clearly states that he decided not to hate Hakuryuu, shocking him. Then, he says not to worry bacause Hakuryuu is not his enemy; Hakuryuu didn't do anything after all. He happily adds to, someday, speak frankly with each other, confusing Hakuryuu even more.

Later, he is asked by Sinbad to capture the Dungeon Zagan along with the rest of his group.

Zagan Arc
During their trip to the Dungeon Zagan, Alibaba and Aladdin have fun with dolphins, which are obedient thanks to the Pisti's Household Vessel. After spending time on playing, Aladdin thanks Pisti for enable them such an entertainment, but she asks him why he doesn't call her "Miss". She explains that despite her appearance, she's actually year older than Alibaba, which surprises him deeply. She notices it and adds that she also has much more experience than him. Next, they are called for lunch, prepared by Hakuryuu. Alibaba is amazed because of his skills. Morgiana then comments she imagined quite a different person, and Alibaba agrees, voicing his astonishment for him going with them. Then, he recalls what Sinbad told to them before going from Sindria. Aladdin bursts on his thoughts, saying that he can see an island. After that, Pisti explains that the island they're close to is not part of Sindria's territory, so they should behave. Then, Alibaba remembers Sinbad's words that someone he knows well will wait there for him.

After a while, the group arrives at the island. There Alibaba meets his older brothers, Ahbmad and Sahbmad. Alibaba is speechless at first, but soon starts laughing happily. He then asks Sahbmad what they are doing now and finds out they're part of Sindria's archeology group. A little later, some Toran kids offers Aladdin and Hakuryuu flowers, but Sahbmad quickly explains that it's not for free. Alibaba thinks he was doing the same thing in the past, while living in slums. Then, Alibaba is stunned seeing Ahbmad giving recompensation to children, but still thanks him. His brother says it's not needed, since they don't want any problems with local people because otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to continue they're research on Toran's culture. Alibaba comments that Ahbmad is zealous about this job. Ahbmad states he decided this is the best thing he can do right now. Alibaba says that he has somewhat changed. Sahbmad smiles and says that their oldest brother had the chance to contemplate about many things, and this time he wants to talk about these things with Alibaba and Aladdin. Next, the group heads toward Village Chief to get a permission to enter the Dungeon. When they don't get one, Alibaba protests that they've already conquered a Dungeon, and in the end, they are allowed to go. After a little more talk, Alibaba and the rest meets three merchants, Dunya Musta'sim, Isaac and Ithnan.

Next morning, the group boards a boat and heads toward Zagan's island. As they finally get to the place, Aladdin asks how they will come back, and Alibaba answers he told them he would light up a fire as soon as they're done, but Morgiana says she will carry them from one reef to another. Alibaba and Aladdin notices she has put her shackles on her arms, and she nods with a sentence that they still can't do anything particular.

After that, the company climbs up wondering if they're arrived. When they finally sees Zagan, Alibaba, who seems quite tired, notices that something is wrong with Morgiana. She replies that she saw something shining and right after that, they're pulled to the Dungeon's sacred gate. Alibaba is instanly reminded of what happened in Amon's Dungeon and is determinated to conquer the Dungeon this time as well. However, he hears Amon's voice who doesn't want to do it. Amon then asks Alibaba what are his intentions, and whether he wants to have an affair with another Djinn as well. Amon complains questioning Alibaba, if he's dissatisfied with him. Alibaba thinks that at first Amon gave him an impression of powerful Djinn and now wonders if he always was such a whinny and jealous old man, who's even sulking right now. After that, Amon explains that there is no need for Alibaba to have more than one Metal Vessel, and, what's more, he doesn't have ability to have them anyway, since Alibaba's Magoi is too low for this. Alibaba is quite depressed hearing it, but Amon adds that he carries unusual potential with him. He says that Alibaba often risked his life for others and he, as his humble servant, decided to devote his power to such a master. Amon then tells Alibaba to complete his Djinn Equip. Alibaba thanks Amon as he runs toward him. After that, he sleeps thinking he's calm, feels like he became bigger and wonders if it's the feeling of becoming one with Amon. He thinks that he is held by arms of a strong, magnificent hero. When he regains his consciousness, he notices he it was Morgiana who held him, and is a little embarrassed of what he though. He then asks where they are, and Morgiana explains they're right before the staring point. She then picks up the other three to take them down, and Hakuryuu starts complaining about how heavy they must be, but Alibaba calms him down by saying that otherwise she'll punch him.

Alibaba is amazed by Dungeon Zagan's appearance. He comments he has heard only bad thing about it, but it's beautiful. He talks with Aladdin about this, showing how happy he is. Then, the group meets a talking turtle and he is quite surprised about it. He quickly remembers that it should be normal that such creatures exists in the Dungeon. After that, they see how the monsters live, and Alibaba comments that they have communal system of livelihood, similar to theirs. He exclaims that this place isn't weird and they should be able to conquer this Dungeon easily, as long as they will keep its rules.

Then, the group encounters a Giant Bear. Alibaba reassures them that there's nothing to fear from it, but soon gets attacked. Alibaba slashes the Bear with Amol Saika, and Aladdin finishes the battle with Harhar Infigar. After that, Alibaba asks Hakuryuu if he's alright as he's face is pale, but Hakuryuu answers that he is. When Hakuryuu thanks for the help, Alibaba comments he is too serious. Soon after, the group finds out that a Toran's girl, Tiare, who wanted to come with them to rescue her parents, followed them after all. When Hakuryuu apologizes for it, Alibaba says he's so serious that it's troublesome. He then gets closer to Tiare, and in the Toran Language reassures her that they are strong and will successfully conquer this Dungeon. However, Fake Zagan appears and says he won't let it happen. He then takes Tiare, but before Alibaba and Hakuryuu could do anything, Amon borrows Alibaba's Magoi and materializes. Alibaba watches their talk. After that, he talks with Amon. After a few sentences, Amon bid a farewell to Alibaba, saying they won't meet for a while. Then he says he will soon give a birth, leaving Alibaba totally stunned, who later comments it was a little gross.

The company enters to the next room and meets docile rabbit-like creatures, which are sitting on flying cubes. Alibaba, Aladdin, Morgiana and Hakuryuu decide to go that way, but Fake Zagan raises the level of the Dungeon and creatures becomes furious. As they are protected by Borg, Alibaba tries to cuts them with Amol Saika, which works. However, Alibaba has a low amount of Magoi left and he can't reach them since they're floating, so Aladdin does a quick job with them using Harhar Rasars, and, by the end of the fight, Alibaba comes in and defeats them, as Magicians play a supporting role.

After the fight, Alibaba asks Aladdin what was this new move, and Aladdin explains it like a Magician would, but quickly adds that this is what Yamraiha told him. Alibaba takes him and lightly hits him for fun. Then, Hakuryuu requests that the group could let him conquer this Dungeon without lending him their powers. He says he has to do it alone and asks Alibaba to not pretend that he understands him, when he tells him that he knows how he feels. Former Balbadd's Prince wants to tell him his story, but they are interrupted by Fake Zagan, who decides to divide them into two groups. Alibaba is paired with Aladdin. When they are under attack by Fake Zagan's Golems, he quickly slashes them with Amol Saika. He is wondering how Hakuryuu and Morgiana are doing. After the split paths ended, the four is reunited again. Hakuryuu, who lost consciousness, wakes up, and Alibaba says he looks like he was having a nightmare. Seeing Hakuryuu's state, he worries if he's really alright.

After some time Fake Zagan once again appears and says there's someone who drags them down, meaning Hakuryuu. When Kou's Prince starts crying, Alibaba is completely shocked. When Alibaba tries to calm his down, Hakuryuu cries out asking why someone so irresponsible, who even abandoned his own country, is so strong. Morgiana, hearing this insult tries to fight him back, and so does Aladdin, but both of them are quickly taken aback. Later, when Hakuryuu finally calms down a little, Alibaba tries to approach him and says he can't do everything alone. However, Hakuryuu starts badmouthing him again, concluding he's different from him and has to do it alone. Alibaba gets a little angry and tells him about his past mistakes, which included not borrowing other people's strength and letting many people die, including Kassim. While trembling, he says there surely was a way to save him and because he wasn't able to find it, he killed it. Saying that, he starts crying as well. While trying to wipe his tears out, he tells him that he just wants to say that people can't do everything by themselves, and Hakuryuu says he understands. Then he asks them if they will let him fight alongside them, and Alibaba replies positively with a smile.

Next, Alibaba and company, after eating, discuss what they will do if the food runs out. They also talks about how creatures in Dungeon resembles humans. Not much later Fake Zagan explains to them that they indeed are humans. Alibaba, as well as other, looks terrified. He decides to fight Fake Zagan and everyone else agrees. They starts fighting. Morgiana notices that atmosphere between Alibaba and Hakuryuu is now much better. When she gets carries away, Alibaba reprimands her for it, but she answers she's really happy.

The group finally finds Fake Zagan's body. Alibaba, provoked, slashes his head and makes everyone surprised it went so easy. In the next moment, they are proven wrong. Fake Zagan makes multiple versions of himself and hurts Alibaba and Hakuryuu. Aladdin proposes to retreat for the moment and Morgiana agrees, taking two Princes with her. When they try to run away, Fake Zagan split a ground and they fall down. Fake Zagan warms them that it's his real body and if they fall in his mouth, his gastric juices will kill him. Aladdin unfurls his Turban, but it hooks on branches and they keeps falling. Morgiana is unable to caught them at first, but soon her Household Vessel activates. She catches them with chains from her shackles from one arm and keeps herself in the wall thanks to the other one. They are successfully able to come back to the place they started falling from.

After that, Morgiana decides to fight Fake Zagan herself, surprising Aladdin and Alibaba. After the sound of fight quietens, men go to her. Alibaba nervously holds her, tries to wake her up and asks what happened, while Aladdin is wiping her blood. He comments that she doesn't seem to have any Magoi left, so she used too much Magoi on that move and that she probably didn't have much Magoi to begin with. Hakuryuu says that if you do something like that, you could even lose your life. What's more, she can't recover by herself and has to see a doctor, terrifying Alibaba even more. Morgiana wakes up and tries to stand, but is quickly stopped. She weakly says that she it's hard to believe she could finally be use to everyone and falls asleep again, leaving Alibaba trembling. He takes her hand says she did enough and assures her to immediately takes her from there and heal her. Hakuryuu asks how since they killed Djinn, but Aladdin tells them it wasn't real Djinn. Alibaba leaves Morgiana in Hakuryuu's arms and goes to Aladdin. Then, Fake Zagan appears along with Tiare. Alibaba prepares to fight him, but is stopped by him, who explains who he is. After hearing it was only a trick, Alibaba gets angry. However, he soon calms down when he hears they will be taken to the Treasure Room.

Second Sindria Arc
During Dungeon Conqueror's Banquet, Alibaba sits along with Yamraiha and Sharrkan, and watches Aladdin fooling around. After Hakuryuu loses his arm and Ithnan appears, he fights along with Sharrkan and Aladdin to defeat him. Unfortunately, he and Sinbad get cursed by Ithnan, who uses Curse Magic on them. Ithnan explains it's "invitation letter" from "Father", who orders them to surrender and become Black Kings. He then says that this curse will possess their blood vessels and dye their Rukh black. They will fall into depravity. Soon after, Ithnan retreats. Later, Alibaba sits in the same room as Aladdin, Sinbad and his Eight Generals. He asks what they should do with this curse. Sinbad reassures the rest that curses don't exist and it's most probably magic, which Yamraiha confirms. However, she's never seen such a magic which directly attacks other people's Magoi and she can't undo it. Aladdin says he will do it.

A little later, Alibaba is seen struggling with the curse inside of magic circle created by Yamraiha. Magoi of the caster took a shape and is going wild inside of his body, making him suffer. Because of enemy's Rukh going through his whole body, undoing it could even kill him. Sinbad, who has gone to fight Ithnan, comes back and asks about Alibaba's condition. He notices that progress of the curse is slow. Yamraiha confirms it's because of her supressing it indeed, but also his resistance is stronger than normal. Sinbad persuades Aladdin to help him, and so he does. He gets inside Alibaba thanks to Solomon's Wisdom. There he sees a pure world and both good, heart-warming memories of Alibaba, and bad ones, which made him suffer. After that, he finds Ithnan. Ithnan comments he doesn't like this place because of its pureness and adds there is another existence that is in his way other than Alibaba. In the real world, Yamraiha and Sinbad notice that the curse is getting weaker. After Aladdin erases Ithnan's existence from Alibaba's Rukh, he talks to someone inside Alibaba, whose part joined him and helped to slow down the curse.

After being completely cured, Alibaba goes for a walk. He accidentally steps on Kougyoku's flowers, for which he immediately apologizes. Kougyoku, angry that she met him, says that she heard he collapsed and asks if he's alright now. He replies he is. When Kougyoku thinks about how unlucky she might be if she ended up marrying him, he makes a coronet for her. She surprises him by asking how he did it. He shows her how, and she comments he is skillful. Next, he, along with Morgiana, talks to Hakuryuu as he announces he's going to depart from Sindria. Morgiana asks him if he's going to go back to the Kou Empire, but he explains he's wants to join his sister before. When asked what Alibaba and Morgiana are going to do, Alibaba says with smile that they're going to stay there a little longer and asks Morgiana if he's right, but she can't answer. Hakuryuu then asks Alibaba if he's okay with Balbadd's situation, but he quickly says he believes that Alibaba has some plans about it. Then, he voices his thoughs about Alibaba, but Alibaba says that Hakuryuu already told him that, back in the Dungeon Zagan. Hakuryuu ends the conversation with a statement that Alibaba will surely follow the path he believes in. Alibaba doesn't have much words for this.

Later that day, Alibaba chats in a bed with Morgiana and Aladdin. Alibaba informs his friend about Hakuryuu's decision and says he will miss him. Aladdin decides to tell them that he will go on a journey alone, which totally shocks Alibaba. He asks for Aladdin's purpose and when he learns it's for a study, he comments he could do it with Yamraiha. Aladdin explains he has also other reasons and that he can't remain in Sindria because of Sinbad's radiance. Alibaba thinks that journey could indeed be a good idea and asks Morgiana if they're going with him, but Aladdin states they can't. Alibaba tries to argue with Aladdin, but is pushed to a corner. Aladdin says he wants to make Alibaba a king, but not king of some country, but someone who can give hope to others. What's more, he comments that both of them are too weak to fight Al-Thamen, as they couldn't even save a large number of people in Balbadd. Alibaba still screams that if he wants to train, he will go with him, but Aladdin tells him he has to think for himself what he wants to do. The next day, Morgiana recalls he didn't even want to get out of the bed in the morning.

Later, he comes with Sharrkan to have a drink, which he rarely does. He quickly gets drunk and complains about Aladdin being cold toward him. Sharrkan wants to justify Aladdin's point of view and says he already decided to follow Sinbad, but it shouldn't be so easy for the Prince of another country. Alibaba burbles it's not like this, and it annoys Sharrkan, who responsibly tells him to go through warrior's training that has nothing to do with him being the Prince, or become a Gladiator in Reim Empire's Colosseum. Then, a woman tries to join their conversation, but Alibaba quickly brasses her off, arguing he's in the middle of man-to-man talk with his master. Sharrkan's level of irritation goes beyond the level and he kicks Alibaba out of the bar. He then lies on the ground, drunk, with a single tear in his eye and sighs thinking he doesn't understand Aladdin's behaviour. He then reassures himself that Aladdin will change his mind by tomorrow.

After Dunya Musta'sim's funeral, Alibaba is seen training. He still thinks about Aladdin's intention to depart on the same ship as Hakuryuu, but also notices that Morgiana has been lately thinking about something, and Hakuryuu has been spacing out much recently. He also comments that he doesn't make any progress in terms of his Djinn Equip. He chafes and swindles his sword aimlessly, almost hurting Kougyoku, who came to him. She shows him how well-made her coronet now is. Seeing how he's in a middle of training, she thinks of it as a good occassion. She asks him for a duel and Djinn Equips, ordering him to do the same. When he tries to inform her he can't do it, Sinbad comes and asks her to show him her power. Alibaba attentively watches their battle, sometimes commenting on what's happening and showing his surprised face.

After their battle, he talks with Sinbad next to asleep Kougyoku. He worries about not being able to perform Djinn Equip when even such a girl can do it. Sinbad says that her talent is indeed above average, but Alibaba has a talent as well. He tells him there must be a reason why he still can't do that and promises to find some spare time to find this reason tomorrow, which makes Alibaba very happy. He then recalls Aladdin's statement about Sinbad's radiance, but can't understand what's wrong with it.

Later, Kougyoku wakes up and he tells her what happened during her fight with Sinbad. He comments that his Djinn Equip was amazing, and Koygyoku asks what about hers. He happily answers she was incredible too. She says it was a lot of fun and that she made up her mind, to go back to her own country. She also tells him she will talk with her brother, Kouen. Hearing this name immediately makes Alibaba remember Hakuryuu saying he is a leader in Balbadd. He then asks Kougyoku what if she had to fight Sinbad, but she answers that he was her first love, shocking him. She continues saying that she understands she could never be his love interes, but she loves him nonetheless. She followed him all the way to Sindria, says she's an idiot and starts crying. Alibaba is dumbfonded and automatically passes her a handchief. She then thanks him, bud adds she alright now and that even though she had a lot of fun with a person she loves, it's the end. Then, she asks Alibaba to listen to her story. Her past is similar to that of Alibaba. She continues with a statement that Judar and Kouen acknowledged her a warrion and that made her thinks it's the reason she's alive. After that, she clearly speaks her mind that she won't fight agains Sindria. Later, Alibaba tells her his story. Kougyoku demands he became her friends. He is surprised at first, but she adds she never had any friends and they're the same, so he has to do it. He, still surprised, formally says that he is pleased to meet her, but she gets angry and hits him in the head. She reprimendates him for being so formal with a "friend" and he says he understands. Then, he pulls out his hand with a words of her being his friend, and she gladly accepts.

When Kougyoku departs from Sindria, he sends her off as he was her close friend. However, atmosphere between him and the rest of Team Zagan is still awkward. He boards the same ship as them, but hides himself.

World Exploration Arc
When Aladdin, Morgiana, Hakuryuu, and Alibaba parted ways, he went to the Reim Empire. Here he hoped to be accepted as a Gladiator, and train his Magoi. When he arrived, he was starving and weak. He had lost his letter of recommendation from Sinbad for the Coliseum but he went there to hopefully be able to get some food and water. At the gate, he met a girl named Toto and told her he wanted to enter the training grounds. She said that he wasn't allowed in. He tried to convince her by telling her his story, but she said the only way he could pass was by beating her in a duel. He accepted but found himself in trouble when he realized he was too exhausted to fight.

After the duel, he ended up in the middle of town, with no money, no food, and no water. He was then found by some "old friends". He saw the Nando Brothers, who had been the thieves who stole Sinbad's Metal Vessels (and then returned them later), and who were in the Fog Troupe. They offered him their help, he having nowhere else to go, which he accepted. The Nando Brothers had come to the Reim Empire from Balbadd to open a casino and raise a fortune. They were now considered wealthy. Alibaba asked for food, and they took him to their casino to eat. After he arrived there, he ate to his heart's content. Then, from the other side of the Casino, an old man was causing a commotion. He had bet everything he had, including his clothes, and he had lost. Alibaba didn't recognize him but he did recognize the girl next to him. He was being accompanied by Toto.

The man struck a conversation with Alibaba and said he would let Alibaba into the Colosseum if he could beat Toto in a serious battle, without his Djinn equip. Alibaba accepted, and they proceeded to battle. Alibaba seemed to have the upper hand, until Toto displayed a special ability, Qi Gong Sword. Her sword lit up, and Magoi flew into it. She displayed the ability of Magoi Manipulation and she revealed that she and the old man (who had introduced himself as Shambal Ramal) were from the Yambala Gladiators! The battle was getting a bit more serious, and the stage was getting banged up. Alibaba was having a hard time dealing with her. He concentrated afterwards and displayed some of the swordsmanship that Sharrkan had taught him. Shambal stopped the duel and accepted Alibaba into the Coliseum.

He told him that there was two kinds of Magoi in his body. He was also told that if he didn't master them and combine them, then his flesh would rot, and he would die. They examined him using a "special needle treatment" and told him to go in the arena to pay them for their service. Before he knew it, he was thrown into a gladiator match with a giant beast, Garda, and he could only use a normal sword. He was quicker, more versatile, and more cunning than his opponent. He slashed and slashed, but it had layers of muscle protecting itself. He went in for a stab and got injured instead. He obtained several bruises, and Garda bit his arm, which then became unusable in the match. He won using his brains. He tricked the beast into running into a statue and used a spear from that same statue and stabbed Garda in the jaw. Then in the confusion, he struck it in the arm and gained the upper hand. Shambal noticed that during the match, the two types of Magoi in Alibaba's body began to fuse. Once they did fuse, Alibaba once again gained the upper hand and won his first battle. Afterwards, Shambal explained to him the occurrences of the battle and the fusion of his Magoi. He is now training his swordsmanship skills and his Magoi.

War Arc
He is seen on the Fanalis ship of the Reim Empire heading to Magnostadt for the war. He helps Mu, when Rohroh accidentally throws him. Then, alone, he voices his question toward Aladdin, how is he doing. Later, when the war officially started, Alibaba watches the battle from Reim's fleet and recognizes Aladdin's magic, Ugo. He worries about him, realizing that his friend is participating in the war. Some time after, when Mu enters in his Djinn Equip form and is about to kill Aladdin along with destroying Magnostadt with his Extreme Magic, Alibaba interferes and blocks Mu's javelin with his sword, warning Mu that his sword can even cut Mu's Metal Vessel. Muron asks Alibaba if he understands what he has done, making the whole Reim Empire into his enemy. Alibaba apologizes, justifying himself by saying he couldn't watch as his important friend for whom he was looking, was cut into two.

After that, Scheherazade appears and orders Mu to retreats all troops. She then asks Aladdin, Alibaba and Titus for a talk. They board a small ship and sail to a neutral territory. Alibaba says he thought she would take them to Reim's fleet. Before any serious talk takes place, Aladdin tells him that he was surprised because of Alibaba's sudden appearence. Alibaba says he was even more surprised, not only because Aladdin was fighting, but also because of frightening Mu's Djinn Equip. Then, he notices that Aladdin grew taller, and seem more sharper and calm than before. He looks offended when Aladdin concluses that Alibaba didn't change at all, and shows him he has more dignify and looks like a real gentelman now. In the end, Aladdin thinks that the only thing that changed about his friend is his ahoge, which is bigger now.

Later, Aladdin is surprised that Alibaba didn't meet Scheherazade in the Reim Empire. Alibaba explains it was because she would find out he's Metal Vessel user, like Judar before, so he decided not to do it. Scheherazade says she wouldn't, as she's only one of clones of real Scheherazade's body. When she reveals her real age, 268, Aladdin and Alibaba both reacts with a great astonishment. She then asks Aladdin to tell her about Mogamett's intentions. Aladdin tells them about The Dark Spot, Al-Thamen's wish and another world, Alma Toran. Alibaba isn't able to understand what Aladdin is saying. Aladdin states he knows and explains that Alma Toran's history was shown to him through the Wisdom of Solomon in Balbadd. Aladdin continues saying he never told anyone about it to not worry them. Alibaba thinks Aladdin keeps saying weird things, but it's not about Alma Toran. He takes his shoulders and says he should have told him about it much earlier, and reminds him he was the one who told Alibaba that they will look for the solution together. He then recalls when Aladdin hit him in the head when he was in state of great confusion back in Balbadd, and does the same. He screams it doesn't matter if it's complicated or dangerous, because Aladdin doesn't have to worry about it alone. Alibaba promises to worry and think for the solution together with him. Aladdin is touched by his words, takes Alibaba's hand and thanks him.

Next, the four of them goes to Reim's fleet. When Scheherazade is talking with Titus in private, Alibaba asks Aladdin who he is. His little friend explains that Titus is a friend he made in Magnostadt, someone he can relate to. Then, Scheherazade asks Alibaba and Aladdin closer to her and announces that she will retreat her army, meaning that the war with Magnostadt ended. As she says it, one of soldiers comes and says the messenger from the Kou Empire has arrived.

Abilities
Royal Swordplay
 * Alibaba is an extremely strong and talented swordsman. At a very young age, Alibaba was trained in Royal Swordplay. He has also learned other sword styles from Sharrkan making him a more rounded swordsman. He was able to copy the exact moves Sharrkan did on him, to Toto. After his training in Reim, he was able to fight and wound Reim's strongest swordsman, Mu Alexius, showing his vast improvement of skill.

High Level Knowledge
 * Alibaba was given a high level of education possible in the Royal Palace of Balbadd after the king adopted him. He knows difficult languages like Toran Language and possesses high knowledge.

Magoi Manipulation
 * Alibaba is learning how to manipulate his magoi. Due to having two types of Magoi inside him (his own Magoi and that of Kassim, who had passed on his larger Magoi to Alibaba following his death) it has been a bit more difficult for him due to the possible risk of both Magoi rejecting each other resulting in Alibaba's death. At the end of a fight for his life in the colosseum with Alibaba's conviction, Alibaba's Magoi fused with that of Kassim's.

Djinn
Amon
 * Amon is a Fire Djinn that Alibaba received after he captured the Seventh Dungeon, Amon, along with Aladdin and Morgiana. Amon is the Djinn of the Stern and Dignified Spirits of Etiquette.

"Stern and Dignified Spirits of Etiquette, In the name of my Magoi, and my will to grant me a greater power, I order you and your members, Come Forth, Amon!!"

- Alibaba, summoning the powers of Amon

Household
The only member of Alibaba's Household is Morgiana. She uses his Djinn, Amon, to power the flames of her Household Vessel, Amol Selseira.

Metal Vessel
Amol Saika (Amon's Sword)
 * Alibaba's Metal Vessel was a small knife, Amol Saika, which he kept at his side. During the fighting in Balbadd the knife was broken so Alibaba changed his Metal Vessel to a short sword which he received from Sinbad, who got it from Alibaba's father, Rashid Saluja. Alibaba calls it the Sword of Melting.

Djinn Equip
Alibaba is not yet able to fully Djinn Equip, copy the appearance of Amon. The reason for this is because a part of Kassim's Magoi has joined together with Alibaba's Magoi changing it making it harder to control. Kassim's Magoi has now completely fused with Alibaba's creating one big Magoi.

Djinn Weapon Equip
To achieve Djinn Weapon Equip, Alibaba burns his arms with Amon's flames. Then he starts to burn his entire body. He keeps using more and more flames, until he becomes the flames himself. Alibaba's knife becomes a large black sword, which is also called Sword of Amon. As Alibaba's Djinn Weapon Equip progresses, his arms change into a black metallic substance.

He has also learned the second method of Djinn Weapon Equip where the weapon retains it's original shape using less Magoi and allows him to better use his sword skills and Amon's flame abilities. In this form his attack range is slightly larger so if his sword doesn't hit the opponent the heat produced around the sword is able to slice and enhance the range of the attack.

Wall of Flames
 * As the name suggest Alibaba crates a wall of flames to stop his enemies from approaching him.

Immunity To Fire
 * Amon's Sword is completely immune to any type of fire or heat. If it is attacked by it, it will completely absorb it and strengthens itself.

Aladdin
Alibaba's best friend. At first Alibaba only wanted to become close to Aladdin because of his Djinn Ugo. He wanted his help in conquering a dungeon. However, through the journey, he and Aladdin truly became close friends. The two are very loyal to each other, and Alibaba occasionally feels insecure without Aladdin around to help him. Aladdin often encourages Alibaba to do as he wants to, rather than letting somebody else dictate his fate. Aladdin is also Alibaba's 'clubbing buddy', and they often go to brothels together to fool around with girls.

Morgiana
When they first met, Alibaba originally thought that Morgiana was very cute. He was the one who officially released her from slavery, causing her to be very grateful and loyal towards him. Unlike others, Alibaba does not fear Morgiana's strength but instead admires it, also occasionally making jokes about it. He also seems to have a good grasp on her personality; even when he makes fun of her, he knows that she will not hurt him and is usually right.

Hakuryuu Ren
Hakuryuu was originally told by Sinbad that he could learn a lot from Alibaba. Hakuryuu at first thought that Alibaba was an irresponsible, rather frivolous person, but later learns that he is wrong. Alibaba considers Hakuryuu to be a close friend and was shocked at his behavior when he beheaded Aum Madaura. He feels that Hakuryuu highly resembles Kassim. Hakuryuu leaves shortly after, and Alibaba, feeling guilty, tries to go after him but is stopped by Morgiana. Hakuryuu is deeply in love with Morgiana, and holds a slight grudge towards Alibaba because of Morgiana's feelings for him.

Kassim
Alibaba's childhood friend and later on adopted brother. Kassim, as the oldest child within the Saluja household, felt obligated to take care of both Alibaba and his own little sister Miriam. He did so by thievery, while Alibaba tried to earn money honestly. Because of Kassim's pride, his admiration for Alibaba's chivalrous nature turned to a bitter resentment, which presented itself in the form of manipulation. Kassim believed himself to always be one of the "bad guys," who could never afford, nor hope, to align himself with an honest lifestyle. This way of thinking, combined with Alibaba's natural naive tendencies, led to an array of twisted turns in their relationship, resulting in some of Alibaba's most significant ethical redefinitions. As of Kassim's death, Alibaba and Kassim's magoi have mixed, and Kassim's existence and leadership skills(however warped in purpose) remain a constant theme in Alibaba's life.

Kougyoku Ren
Although the events in Balbadd, Alibaba and Kougyoku became friends after they talk about their similar past.

Sinbad
Alibaba admired Sinbad and wanted to be like him after reading his stories. Alibaba didn't seem to like the way Sinbad was leading everyone in the Fog Troupe and felt insecure and inferior about himself. Sinbad's constant encouraging advice gives Alibaba the courage he needs to save Balbadd.

Brothers
Alibaba's relationship with Ahbmad Saluja and Sahbmad Saluja was originally quite poor, considering that Alibaba was of half-commoner's descent. Ahbmad remained distant, while Sahbmad eventually grew closer with Alibaba. Ahbmad always looked down on Alibaba, while Sahbmad admired Alibaba for his bravery, reasonableness, and cleverness.

Trivia
