Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Asta has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Asta's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around constant growth arc / moral cost they'll pay. Cid Kagenou's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
