I love the theory that the illusion was Neo; but I don't think that would be practical. Cinder may have complete control over cameras and security, but all Neo did (If it was her) was frighten Coco a little bit. Not only that but I assume that Emerald and Mercury are at least somewhat similar in terms of skill; and we just watched Mercury toy with both of them before beating down Yatsuhashi. Emerald didn't need the help.

As such; Emeralds semblance must be a chameleon ability. Makes sense for a thief. She broke line of sight and then intended to knockout Coco then and there with the Trojan horse strategy (Notice how Fakesuhashi was holding his sword as he walked toward Coco); Only problem was Mercury took Yatsu out at that very moment; giving her away. Emerald is shown to be fast enough to move as a blur; so it makes perfect sense that she was able to just appear, disappear and then reappear behind Coco to take her out.

Also of note is the fact that Coco still had a majority of her aura left before that final strike; too much for Emerald to take out in one go. The shot of Coco's eyes just before the coup de grace tells us that Emerald struck her right in the face; probably knocking her unconscious. This may seem obvious but at least this tells us that fighters can be eliminated by knockout, as opposed to ring-outs and aura depletion.

On an unrelated note; Mercury fucking '''stole the show holy shit. '''I need to see Mercury vs Pyrrah round 2 after watching that.
