Matchup frame

Same tier

YPS does not separate them cleanly, so the comparison turns on DNA shape: motive, risk, bonds, and story pressure.

Power-matched
YPS-4

Tier-matched. Power scale does not separate them; this is purely a DNA matchup. DNA tells a different story: Cha Hae-In: self-determination and identity, Naofumi Iwatani: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
