Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

In a direct clash, Madara Uchiha wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around who they fight for / moral cost they'll pay. Madara Uchiha's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison. Denji is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
