Matchup frame
Same series
The useful question is not who is stronger. It is how the same story-world makes two different identities legible.

Analysis
YPS-5
Power-matched
YPS-5
Tier-matched. Power scale does not separate them; this is purely a DNA matchup. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: constant growth arc, Monkey D. Luffy: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Same tier, different identities: this is the most interesting kind of comparison.
