Analysis

Clear power gap
YPS-2
Denji holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around self-determination and identity / raw destructive ceiling. Shion's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
