Analysis
YPS-5
Slight power edge
YPS-4
Shanks has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: who they fight for, Asta: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
