The damage that you take from the Yari are highly dependent on a couple of factors:

1. The type of Yari that hits you. A r4 Yari will always hit for more than a r3 Yari, for example.

2. The type and level of sword that the Yari hits also has an effect on the damage dealt. I found that Tantous, both Kiwame and non-Kiwame, generally take less damage from direct Yari hits than any other swords. This is possibly due to the fact that it is Night Battle, so their stats are massively inflated. With comparison, my lvl 99 Monoyoshi always takes more damage from the same Yari than my level 99 Fudou/Gotou/Hochou/Yagen/Midare/Gokotai.

3. The formation chosen also has a significant effect on the damage dealt. A disadvantageous formation will almost always guarantee that one of your swords will get insanely chunked, if not pushed all the way down to red. A neutral formation is always a coinflip. Sometimes you only get hit by 1 hp from the same r4 Yari, the second time, it hits for 16, depending on which formation you chose and which formation the enemy chose.
