Sure is a good thing Mika is switched on, and just to note his level headedness was passed onto Yu here. Yu could have easily remained committed to sticking with Guren as he done before, but chose to follow Mika's plan here.

May as well read into the actual drawings, namely the final double page of Yu moving forward to intercept Guren's sword whilst Mika was defensively moving back. Instinctively reacting to protect Mika, when Yu's head can be in the clouds at times, that camaraderie is being pitted against what Guren is bringing.

The good news is they can block one strike between them, so hopefully it's possible for them to at least stall for time until Guren's (and Noya and Mahiru who will likely attack...) power runs out, or someone else intervenes.
