🖐️
Full hand, effort required
Powerful figure prioritizing strategic non-intervention over direct conquest, serving as a distant catalyst for protagonist growth.

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

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. DNA tells a different story: Shanks: raw destructive ceiling, Seiya Ryūgūin: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
