The fundamental gap between narrative-driven influence and physical magical output renders a direct YPS comparison meaningless. While one operates at YPS-2 and the other at YPS-3, the real data point is how both characters utilize Growth to dismantle the pedestals their worlds force them upon. Iruma and Roxy are not defined by their abilities, but by the friction between their internal insecurities and the external labels of "leader" or "goddess." For Iruma, the Ring of Gluttony is less a weapon and more a catalyst that forces a conflict-avoidant human into a position of social authority he never sought. His growth is a trajectory of acceptance, moving from a passive survivor to someone who protects others because he knows the cost of abandonment. Roxy mirrors this struggle through an academic lens. Her mastery of magic is a shield against the trauma of being a mute outcast among the Superd. Her growth is not an increase in mana, but the gradual dismantling of her professional detachment to allow for genuine domestic intimacy. This comparison reveals that the primary growth in these narratives occurs when a character stops trying to fulfill the role assigned to them and starts defining their own value. Iruma’s low Ego score and Roxy’s mid-range Ego both highlight a shared desperation to belong that outweighs any desire for dominance. They prove that power in this genre is often a distraction from the actual story: the terrifying process of becoming a visible, vulnerable person.
