Shapes, not totals. The hero you worship defines who you are.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
KOKUSHIBOAristocratic warrior whose cold detachment masks a pathetic inferiority complex, paradoxically sacrificing humanity to mimic unapproachable greatness.
vs
Character DNA / 6 Dimensions
The Rising of the Shield Hero
NAOFUMI IWATANITrust shattered then re-crystallized into chosen kin. Darkness as scar tissue, not ambition.

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. Naofumi Iwatani's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around constant growth arc / who they fight for. Kokushibo's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
