I don't think this was ever confirmed anywhere? Later on Yata does actually use his power on Kurou, and then has full-out fights with Fushimi, and nothing suggests that he's particularly weak. And there were scenes of people using their powers during the gang fight, on both sides... it's just the crowd scenes that were ridiculously unimaginative.

Don't know if it makes sense, probably not  |
It seems to me it was basically for fanservice?
The writers obviously know what kind of dynamics attract what kind of audience.
There are some very blatantly "targeted" merchandise out there for these two. What I wonder about is why couldn't they do this with characters who were, you know, actually important to the plot...

Pretty much all of the supplementary materials deal with the Reds. There's a manga about Kurou's backstory and a novel about the Sexy Corps but as far as I know it's pretty much a standalone story from the POV of a mob character.
