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-2
In a direct clash, Shanks wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: raw destructive ceiling, Darkness: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
