Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-5
Benimaru has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Meruem: constant growth arc, Benimaru: raw destructive ceiling. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
