For any that are lost or confused: Takeba’s curse technique allows him to turn reality into a Comedy Skit.
The depth of Takeba’s technique depends on his own confidence as a comedian which is why he was losing in the beginning.
Kenjaku had been setting up skits better than Takeba which turned his own technique against him but in this chapter they’ve been doing something like chain skits.

Naofumi's choice in slaves as of recent is for the sake of recovering the Beastkin children of Raphtalia's Village and because the Slave Contract System allows for easier EXP Growth. Basically he's giving them a place to live while giving the strength to defend themselves. Rishia(17yrs) the former party member of The Bow Hero Itsuki also became his slave in order to help her gain exp and confidence because of usually being shy & clumsy.

I had a feeling Taiga was an amazing Ninja but he’s nearly at the Lvl of skill to rival Ito’s

It's funny that I see Sunao as the ideal exorcist compared to Kazuya who was born into greatness. She reached the same Levels that he did she just lacks the experience and exposure.

Well this is a very dire situation. Nogi's trying to set the table but he doesn't have any cards to play! Like the whole of Kegan Allies and Organization are being offered an Ultimatum and there isn't any room to negotiate but if he can get them to agree to a match at least he could buy some time if the heads of the Worm honor their word.

See, I think the reason is because Kuroki Gensei a Purist in the Martial Arts world. He's not a man you can hire and he doesn't have any stakes involved with the Worm. If he were to be involved it would only because he was there or his friend who requested him to participate in the 1st Tourney was in danger.

I wasn't expecting that outcome. That actually hurts his friends way more than dying for their beliefs because he was their reason for the journey! 

Interestingly I'd be fine if it wasn't Utso to receive a weapon but Nea. However if Utso was offered something I'd like it if it were either a Shield or Tonfa's. (For the sake of comedy it'd be funny if he was given a weapon that normally couldn't be wielded by one man lol)

Lulus changing sides is great but the lingering fear of her Dogura Instincts awakening one day feels like unavoidable foreshadowing. 

Got'em!

This guy is one of the few S-Ranks. Like the guy targeting the Yozakura’s is the Last Boss but I’m confident it’ll take the entire family to beat him.

So far it feels like a Harry Potter story if Harry was raised as a mercenary before becoming a student. I like Almark's disposition! 

Considering the threat the Worm already is and how the seemingly slipped through security they should consider this a luxury they didn't slaughter all the executives on the spot. From a business perspective their ultimatum is worth more than the time spent hunting Worms but..we all know everyone has their loyalties!

Lol they had a whole Manzai Comedy routine and Takaba got Reversed Uno'd! (He was made to play the Straight Man) Kenjaku is really well-rounded to even adapt to comedy routines.
