๐๏ธ
Full hand, effort required
Powerful figure prioritizing strategic non-intervention over direct conquest, serving as a distant catalyst for protagonist growth.
Matchup frame
Large tier gap
Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

Analysis

Dominant power gap
YPS-5
In a direct clash, Shanks wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Cocytus: self-determination and identity, Shanks: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
