Analysis
YPS-2
Slight power edge
YPS-3
Cid Kagenou has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Shion: moral cost they'll pay, Cid Kagenou: self-determination and identity. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
