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

Analysis
YPS-4
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 moral cost they'll pay / how much the universe protects them. Diablo's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
