Analysis
YPS-3
Slight power edge
YPS-2
Akatsuki has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Akatsuki: raw destructive ceiling, Darkness: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
