Synopsis

In the flashback of the story, Aladdin was seen collapsing on his knees, saying he would rather die than to be trapped in the place forever. He asked Ugo what he is. Ugo refused to answer his question, but added that he could grant Aladdin any wish he wants, such as attaining immortality.

Soon later, in the storyline, Alibaba was loading goods for Budel, which his dream of capturing a Dungeon was revealed. When Alibaba was about to load the goods, he found a young boy feasting on watermelons, which he soon introduced himself as Aladdin. When Budel found Aladdin feasting on the watermelons, he demanded Alibaba to work until he has compensated for the loss of the watermelons.

Alibaba explaining about dungeons to Aladdin

Later that night, when Aladdin asked about Dungeons, Alibaba explained it as mysterious ruins that appeared all over the world fourteen years ago, where those who capture it gain both fame and power, which he included that the reward also has a Metal Vessel with a Djinn in it, which Aladdin was looking for.

The next day when Aladdin was traveling with Alibaba, they bumped into a girl which later was revealed to be a slave. Aladdin freed her, but people showed disapproving expressions, which Alibaba said that it's not a good thing to do as it means stealing a slave, which also happened to be Budel's. Budel later threatened Alibaba that if he doesn't compensate for his loss, he would make Alibaba into a slave, and started to abuse the girl. However, Aladdin stopped him with his flute, which spread arms and attacked Budel. This made Alibaba and the crowd shocked. Alibaba asked Aladdin about the flute, which Aladdin introduced it as Ugo, a Djinn. Fascinated by Aladdin's flute, he sends Aladdin to a hostel.

In the hostel, Aladdin revealed his aim, which is to fulfill his promise to Ugo that he would search for a Djinn Metal Vessel. Budel found Alibaba, which he threatened Alibaba whether to work for Budel for life or die, which made Aladdin work for Budel. Later, they found the girl encaged which was later revealed that she would be transferred to the mines.

  • Morgiana did not appear in the manga version, so all her actions including being attacked by the hyacinth are anime exclusive.
  • Locations: In the manga, Aladdin groped Budel's breasts on the caravan cart. Whereas in the anime, Aladdin groped Budel outside the watermelon cart shortly after meeting Alibaba.
