General matchup
The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Analysis

Clear power gap
YPS-3
Shanks holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: constant growth arc, Cid Kagenou: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
