Thought alone
Vacationing in a near-omnipotent loadout. Power deliberately obscured for plot leisure.

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. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around raw destructive ceiling / self-determination and identity. Satou Pendragon's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
