Thought alone
Saiyan infant crash-landed on Earth, conquest mission erased by head trauma, raised by hermit. Growth slope is the entire genre; ego near zero, fight-hunger replaces strategy.

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

YPS-7
In a direct clash, Son Goku wins: 5 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Edward Elric: moral cost they'll pay, Son Goku: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
