General matchup

The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Benimaru holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Kokushibo: moral cost they'll pay, Benimaru: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Kokushibo is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
