Power-matched
YPS-4
Tier-matched. Power scale does not separate them; this is purely a DNA matchup. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around who they fight for / how much the universe protects them. Cha Hae-In's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
