I'm not the one who picked. I'd assume because mercy implies "I'm choosing not to kill this person/people" without necessarily carrying the implication of being unwilling to kill in general, while pacifism implies a more definite "no killing at all". Or at least, that's why I'd go with pacifism over mercy considering the kanji he used.
