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

Analysis

Clear power gap
YPS-4
Denji holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around raw destructive ceiling / moral cost they'll pay. Cocytus's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
