I doubt Yatsu is strong enough to simply throw Mercury straight out of the arena from the center. What might've been a better idea is to throw him directly downwards rather than across; Yatsu gave Merc time to counter by throwing him so far away. He owuld've been better off pulling a White Fang lieutennant; smashing Merc on the ground and following up with a stom/stab.

CY went for the marksman/support strategy. Yatsu was there to guard Coco, who in turn was doling out the big damage to anything in her line of sight. Emerald and Mercury were the perfect counters; Emerald being the stealth assassin with the ability to wrench Coco away from Yatsuhashi; Mercury the close-quarters ace who could overpower them both in his element.
