14vs50
Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. Ichigo Kurosaki's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around self-determination and identity / how much the universe protects them. Meruem's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
