General matchup

The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-3

Cha Hae-In has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Cha Hae-In: moral cost they'll pay, Cid Kagenou: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
