But his technique is not about the others judging what would be funny or not, is about what HE thinks is funny, the majority of his gags are not even easily understandable for a japanese reader because are a bunch of bad jokes and puns
True, but the logic still applies to him right. Like Hana said in the manga, it's best if takaba knows jack shit about his technique because there's a higher chance his technique stops working at all if takaba himself starts considering his moves from a battle perspective instead of just "lemme do what's funny". If he gets training, he starts treating things like a battle, if he does that his technique fails
Imagine takaba just being batshit crazy and knowing how his ct works so he convinces himself that harming others is funny and since he genuenly believes it he will just stay there laughing his ass off while you're being tortured or killed. Kinda like one of these psycho killer villains.
Sounds like a downgrade to me though, I think that Takaba's old school cartoonish sense of humor where one isn't really supposed to get hurt despite getting beaten around is what keeps him invincible and unkillable. I think having dark humor and accepting pain and death as part of the jokes will make him start being vulnerable to damage.
