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. DNA tells a different story: Asta: self-determination and identity, Raphtalia: moral cost they'll pay. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
