SINBAD
Anime: MAGI
Y’know, I was really waiting for this particular shoe to drop, and I’m so pleased that they actually went ahead and dropped it.
As I alluded to earlier, one of the more striking surprises I got reading 1,001 ARABIAN NIGHTS for the first time (after years of being only familiar with its homages and pastiches) was that Sinbad is actually kind-of useless. Far from the swashbuckling adventurer of the Roy Harryhausen movies, the original Sinbad is honestly just an unremarkable merchant with a lucky streak who, for whatever reason, just keeps washing up on one fantastical island’s shore after another. The fact that he keeps surviving shipwrecks to get on those beaches seems less a matter of “situational awareness” and more just dumb luck.
