Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Glass has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Akatsuki's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around who they fight for / constant growth arc. Glass's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
