The point of an ass pull isn't that something is impossible, it's that in real life the likelihood of such a thing happening on a such a consistent basis as it normally does in shounens is extremely small. Basically in real life Emukae would have probably died even if such a person like Kumagawa existed, because all the circumstances that alligned to save her would have been quite unlikely.

Why are you bringing up shit like trap doors? Kumagawa watching over the battle --> Kumagawa sees Emukae about to get screwdrivered --> Kumagawa walks over to her while everyone's absorbed in the battle.
What sort of imaginary "circumstances" are you conjuring up for Kumagawa not to be there? No suggestion has been made yet that the Jokers are in anyway held up or incapacitated. In "real life" the Jokers would probably be watching over the activities of the Suitors. By extension its reasonable for them to realize Zen's group is in pursuit. If there was a probability that Kumagawa was anywhere at all, then around Zen's group is actually one of the
most likely "realistic" possibilities.
