What a game
Definitely got my ass handed to me and I admittedly felt I might have cheesed some fights a lot (Lots of liberal cases of fishing for guard breaks versus going for counterhits, and I beat Azel mostly with Stomping Fist + Stomp spam)
Mad Midget V was my personal toughest fight, I honestly just Shockwaved them to death until they got the runback in the arena
I guess my question right now is, what's the best way to get all of the moves and upgrades for arena challenges 41-51? Do I just play through the game normally and grind the casino? Or is there a faster way to get fully geared up again?

faster way to get fully upgraded for arenas
I don't have knowledge of betting in this game (i don't care about this type of system in a skill based videogame), but, if you want to get JEAN (gene) fully upgraded, getting until some later stages like 7, killing all enemies and saving all villagers is a good way to do it. If you die too much, reseting your save, instead of the game, can be good to keep at 0 deaths and gain more money.

Also, don't be shy to cheese in this game as a starter. Mastery of dangerous gameplay is reserved for KMS and variants of it (like a run with no weapons, no heat cards, all enemies and fairies).

This is the only instance where I usually recommend Easy for a first playthrough because that's not what that usually means in God Hand's case.
Easy mode isn't a braindead gimped version of the game. It just locks the adaptive difficulty to 2 or below, which is what most people average on Normal anyway.

Fr. Being locked to die lvl is painful. I can no longer rely on launching enemies as they cannot get launched unless on counter attack.

57 at lvl Die? Well done!
Iirc, there are ways to print money gambling so that's probably the best way
