Full hand, effort required

Matchup frame
Cross-type
The matchup needs two readings: direct capability inside a scene, and world influence across the story system.

43vs50
Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. DNA tells a different story: Denji: who they fight for, Ichigo Kurosaki: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
