Saiyan infant crash-landed on Earth, conquest mission erased by head trauma, raised by hermit. Growth slope is the entire genre; ego near zero, fight-hunger replaces strategy.
YPS does not separate them cleanly, so the comparison turns on DNA shape: motive, risk, bonds, and story pressure.

YPS-7
Tier-matched. Power scale does not separate them; this is purely a DNA matchup. Son Goku's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around how much the universe protects them / constant growth arc. Saitama's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
