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

Analysis
YPS-7
Dominant power gap
YPS-3
In a direct clash, Hajime Nagumo wins: 4 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Hajime Nagumo: self-determination and identity, Tanjiro Kamado: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
