Matchup frame
Same tier
YPS does not separate them cleanly, so the comparison turns on DNA shape: motive, risk, bonds, and story pressure.

Analysis
YPS-4
Power-matched
YPS-4
Tier-matched. Power scale does not separate them; this is purely a DNA matchup. DNA tells a different story: Meruem: self-determination and identity, Alpha: who they fight for. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
