Someone sell me on Mewtwo living or not living. I think that's what it comes down to.

Mewtwo is absolutely not alive.

Even if you're looking at it straight numerically, Frenzy should do more to Mewtwo. Crono's physical attack reaches 99 (or **) according to this guide - https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/563538-chrono-trigger/faqs/14837. ** may mean the power goes above 99 but I can't be sure.

His magic only reaches 46 by max level. Luminaire is 50 base power and Frenzy is 29. So if you assume Crono's physical damage is 99+ vs. 46, this dual tech is a minimum of 1.07x stronger than last time. This is before you add the multiplier that's applied by virtue of it being in a dual tech.

And generally speaking, even though Mewtwo's physical defense is the same as his Sp. Def - I will draw the distinction between 'being hit by a blast of light energy/magic' and 'being slashed by a sword a shitton of times'. Mewtwo is still ultimately a fleshy beast and a sword cutting should be intuitively more damaging than Luminaire in an FMV setting.

There's also the distinct possibility of a defense debuff being applied through the notion of it shredding - but that's voter interp. The point is Mewtwo himself is being shredded with a sword while being impaled and shot.

So if you thought Mewtwo narrowly survived last week, he really shouldn't be surviving this week.
