The only time that Tomomi brute forced with the cyborg arm was when Makishima was shooting him with the nailgun, and Tomomi used his arm as a shield. That's less of an overt advantage, so much as leveling the odds. Everything else came down to Tomomi simply outfighting Makishima.
-Tomomi parried Makishima to a stand still when it came to their melee weapons. Makishima tried to disarm Tomomi, but ended up getting disarmed himself.
-Makishima attempts to do a backwards elbow at Tomomi while he's off balance from the disarming attempt. But Tomomi proactively blocks. He uses his cyborg arm, but considering that he blocked Makishima fairly soon into the strike and above the elbow, he wasn't going to be doing much.
-Tomomi rushes in and grabs Makishima from behind. Makishima attempts to flip Tomomi over (and is visibly struggling), but instead Tomomi pulls Makishima to the ground. Tomomi has managed to wrap his non cybernetic arm over Makishima's. Due to the location of the hold, Makishima won't be able to extend his right arm outward.
So no. Tomomi didn't just use cyborg hax brute strength. He literally outfought Makishima fair and square. The only way Makishima had out of that hold was getting Tomomi to willingly let go. Not even with the threat of himself getting exploded or cut up.
