I like Yori's expression in the second panel
"I have no idea what's going on."

And Yukizane has even molded Ina into a brilliant tactician! Gods damnit, every time Yukizane is involved in this comic I love him a little more.

he reminds me of Uncle Iro from Avatar.

Come to think of it there are a lot of similarities between NNFB and AtLA.

Except the main character everyone is trying to kill/control isn't a god-tier elemental master.

Give them time.  Maybe Matrix and her tuxedo ninja friend will give them all superpowers...

hahaha 7 samurai much?
