RYOMEN SUKUNAFinger Test
☝️
Single finger, casual
Ancient egoist rejecting modern morality, asserting total self-dominance while despising the vulnerability inherent in human connection.

Ryomen Sukuna 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: moral cost they'll pay, Ryomen Sukuna: self-determination and identity. 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.
