Wasn't Noda's (the author's) wife pregnant and about to give birth during the writing of this chapter?
It would have been unwise to curse himself and let Tanigaki and Inkarmat die. Of course it had to be a happy ending, at least for now.
The dog talk in the first two pages should be there to draw a parallel of Usami. Extremely loyal but jealous and bad tempered.
Tsurimi is a insane and meticulous strategist to be recruiting child/youth soldiers from everywhere by means of lies, deception, coercion and more.
Nikaidou on drugs just did the "thing" with a chop stick on page 3.
The same "thing" that Bishop from the movie Alien did.
Ogata without his dominant right eye missed a shot and had to go for an easier target instead.
The bear had been stalking them from page 2, 5, 7, 11 to 12 and they still didn't notice it.
Shiraishi got so much credit for being useful once again on page 4 just to become a joke character at the end.
Although Ogata isn't immortal, he isn't a wild cat with 9 lives for show.

Bullying is a recurring topic in almost all mangas with a school life- & drama-tag.
It's hard to tell how much of it is exaggeration or truth. Always involves textbooks/cloths/shoes/tables getting stolen, dirtied, scribbled on or physical violence. Where I grew up, one teacher in...
Sir Aak: *creepy smile*
Oh: Why is he angry?
Me: I get why he's angry but that's what he shows when angry? Σ(゚Д゚)
These types of people are often borderline insane
So many twists and turns in this chapter.
The serious part in the latter half really overshadowed those "wrestling" scenes. There was even some real "wrestling" that scarred a child.
