I think is one of the things that makes clear de difference between Sinbad and Alibabá. Sinbad is realistic, he wasn't before but has to learn to be. Alibabá always was and will be a dreamer and try to find ways to do the things in a different way.
Sinbad here maybe do what he has to do, but it was not the right thing to do. That's for sure.

Man, what happened to the villagers was cruel and inhumane, but at the same time I'm kinda glad of sinbad's decision to pursue his own goals and comprehend the situation as self-sabotage and close to impossible. Typically, conventional shounen protagonist would have tried to save the villagers, and risk everything to do the right thing. What I liked about this chapter is that Sinbad thought realistically and level-headedly, and made a smart choice to not get involved. It's cruel and tough, but hey that how the world works :/
