I know there is a lot happening this chapter but i need to point out that the main character with his eyes visible looks like he should be piloting a super robot
Since nobody has mentioned it, Ill bring up the theory that seems crazier than any other: Baku isn't trying to win, he knows he doesn't have much longer, and aside from that, is trying to save his former friend.
I know its farfetched, but I think its at least worth considering.
I think the part that impresses me most is the charts for how close they get with each subordinate, body language can say so much about a person and their relationship to others
