The "custom chair" was NOT a gag, nor an attempt at comedy, and I don't understand why some people here think it is. It's a damn torture machine. I'm not talking in general terms, either. In this chapter, if you hadn't noticed, Darius glanced at the chair after Mikasa had asked what was going to happen to Eren. Furthermore, he'd stayed silent shortly just before doing so, showing his unwillingness to answer.

In other words, Zackly was planning to use his chair on Eren.

P.S. Good to see that the story is picking up the pace.
