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

Analysis
YPS-2
Clear power gap
YPS-4
Naofumi Iwatani holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Shion: how much the universe protects them, Naofumi Iwatani: constant growth arc. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
