He's already high tier despite the relatively short amount of time we have seen him. I think he could give even some of the high tiers from Negima a hard time.
Glad to see Karin is back in action. It must have been grueling to crawl back up from the depth she was dragged into. She tends to take a lot of abuse compared to most of the UQ Holder members.
Sayoko's attack looked like Takamichi's ki empowered Iaiken.

Considering her unique brand of immortality, I suppose her foes would've had to use bfr tactics for who knows how many years. So her 'experience' with such things shouldn't really be a surprise.
Personally I'd put Mana at a lot more than 1% of Negi, unless Negi got a lot stronger, or she lost her better magic ammo. Though she may just be counting as she was fighting there and not counting her demon-mode!
The Mahora Martial Arts Tournament is still a thing, huh? With the existence of magic being revealed to the world, people have probably learned that the "CGI" Negi and the others used during the Mahorafest in the original series wasn't "CGI" at all.

Q99: it could also apply in terms of pure destructive power. Being a gunslinger, Mana naturally focuses more on shooting/piercing a target rather than out and out blowing up the area. And in the flashback that showed a grown up Negi going after the Lifemaker, it does look like his magia erebea state has evolved.
Esomark: yeah, most likely. But we won't know until it happens.
So the tournament was kept secret until recently and this upcoming tournament will be the first to allow all battle techniques? Interesting. It also looks like this tournament took some influence from the Mundus Magicus tournament since it looks different from the one at Mahora Fest. Ku Fei and Yue made their mark in it but I wonder if they are still around somewhere? There's also this new mystery about Negi signing up for the tournament.
Not to mention, Kirie's expression on the third panel in the eleventh page is really mesmerizing. Akamatsu's really good at emotional dynamics with his characters. Nakaba Suzuki and Koshi Rikdo are masters of doing that as well.
While they were showing footage of Ku Fei and Yue, I though we were going to get a throw back to Negi's fight with Rakan back in the Magic World Tournament.
And Eva shows up again. Would've figured she have something better to do than play along with Tota antics but Fate's arrival certainly makes thing interesting.
Seeing those two in that setting and the way their opponents looked did bring up the atmosphere of that tournament. I hope that Rakan and Kotaro are still kicking around somewhere. They may not be immortal but they age slow like Mana does.
Eva doesn't want Touta to partake in the tournament after seeing the Life Maker show up out of the blue. She's probably worried that Touta could get possessed by her.

Aside from Mana, Chachamaru is the most likely, and Zazie (being a demon). And Aisaka Sayo should still be a ghost, but considering she didn't show last arc maybe she's passed on.
Hm, Setsuna is part-demon too, but may not have the long life factor Mana does.

Esomark: she still should've worded that concern of hers better. By telling him so callously that he's not needed, she's only going to make him want to get involved even more. You'd think that as a 700 year old vampire, she'd know more about these stereotypical responses and their effects...
