The Rising of the Shield Hero
NAOFUMI IWATANITrust shattered then re-crystallized into chosen kin. Darkness as scar tissue, not ambition.

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. Shanks's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around self-determination and identity / how much the universe protects them. Naofumi Iwatani's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
