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

Analysis

Slight power edge
YPS-4
Shanks has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: constant growth arc, Roswaal L. Mathers: moral cost they'll pay. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
