Thought alone
Physically invincible salaryman whose existence is defined by the existential ennui of unreachable narrative closure.
Matchup frame
Large tier gap
Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

In a direct clash, Saitama wins: 5 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Cocytus: constant growth arc, Saitama: raw destructive ceiling. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Cocytus is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
