RYOMEN SUKUNAFinger Test
☝️
Single finger, casual
Ancient egoist rejecting modern morality, asserting total self-dominance while despising the vulnerability inherent in human connection.
Matchup frame
Large tier gap
Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

In a direct clash, Ryomen Sukuna wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Killua Zoldyck: moral cost they'll pay, Ryomen Sukuna: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Killua Zoldyck is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
