Thought alone
Betrayal cauterizes empathy. Darkness as load-bearing trait, bonds gated by utility.

Large tier gap

Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

In a direct clash, Hajime Nagumo wins: 5 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. Hajime Nagumo's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around raw destructive ceiling / self-determination and identity. Edward Elric's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
