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. Levi Ackerman's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around moral cost they'll pay / self-determination and identity. Shanks's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison. Levi Ackerman is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
