The Rising of the Shield Hero
NAOFUMI IWATANITrust shattered then re-crystallized into chosen kin. Darkness as scar tissue, not ambition.
Matchup frame
General matchup
The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Analysis
YPS-2
Clear power gap
YPS-4
Naofumi Iwatani holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Alice Zuberg: how much the universe protects them, Naofumi Iwatani: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
