☝️
Single finger, casual
Power deployed as infrastructure. Bonds-first ruler whose growth is logged in citizens, not levels.

23vs42
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. DNA tells a different story: Muzan Kibutsuji: moral cost they'll pay, Rimuru Tempest: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
