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

Analysis
YPS-2
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Gyomei Himejima has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Edward Elric: self-determination and identity, Gyomei Himejima: raw destructive ceiling. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
