Analysis

Clear power gap
YPS-6
Naruto Uzumaki holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Denji: who they fight for, Naruto Uzumaki: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Denji is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
