The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

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