Comparing a physical combatant at YPS-4 to an authority-based entity at YPS-7 is a category error. The gap between raw destructive output and the ability to rewrite physical laws makes a direct power ranking meaningless. The real tension lies in how each character uses their scale to curate a private reality. Makoto builds Asora as a fortress of defiance, a physical manifestation of his resentment toward the Goddess who discarded him. His sanctuary is a political statement—a sovereign state for the rejected. Satou treats the world as a simulation, using his authority to maintain a frictionless, domestic existence. His orphanage in Labyrinth City is not a bastion of resistance, but a luxury amenity designed to ensure his peace. While Makoto’s bonds are rooted in the shared struggle of outcasts, Satou’s relationships function as an extension of his role as a benevolent, invisible landlord. Makoto possesses a more active ego because his identity depends on his refusal to conform to the world's standards. Satou’s lower ego allows him to slide into the background, treating his status as a logistical convenience. One creates a home to spite a god; the other curates a vacation to ignore the world.
