Clear power gap
YPS-2
Meruem holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. Meruem's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around constant growth arc / raw destructive ceiling. Shion's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
