Matchup frame
Large tier gap
Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

Dominant power gap
YPS-3
In a direct clash, Ryomen Sukuna wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Ryomen Sukuna: self-determination and identity, Raphtalia: moral cost they'll pay. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Raphtalia is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
