The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Analysis
YPS-4
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Meruem has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Meruem: how much the universe protects them, Tanya Degurechaff: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
