Analysis
YPS-3
Slight power edge
YPS-4
Naofumi Iwatani has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Killua Zoldyck: self-determination and identity, Naofumi Iwatani: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
