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.
The matchup needs two readings: direct capability inside a scene, and world influence across the story system.

Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. DNA tells a different story: Ichigo Kurosaki: moral cost they'll pay, Son Goku: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
