Unlike in the anime, Aladdin uses his genie to crash a wedding and marry the woman instead, then build her a magnificent castle. In both the anime and the story, Aladdin gets his hands on a magic lamp, which gives him access to a magical genie (although he’s possibly only blue in the anime and Disney adaptation). Magi took got its inspiration for Aladdin from the same original story, which appeared in the Thousand and One Arabian Nights stories. You may know the name Aladdin thanks to the Disney movie, where he was a turban-wearing, magic carpet riding young man. Scheherazade actually makes an appearance in the second season, Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, as a character who guides the story behind the scenes - which is definitely a fitting positiong for her to be in.Īlthough the Thousand and One Nights characters get somewhat of a makeover and a bit of role shuffling, turning peasants into kings and brothers into friends, their backstories remain essentially the same… usually. Every night, the king planned to kill her the following day, so every night Scheherazade ended her story at a cliff-hanger and managed to prolong her life. These stories are famously told by master storyteller Scheherazade, to her husband the king. Many Magi characters come from the legendary Middle Eastern collection of stories, One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. ![]()
