Thought alone
Saiyan infant crash-landed on Earth, conquest mission erased by head trauma, raised by hermit. Growth slope is the entire genre; ego near zero, fight-hunger replaces strategy.

The fundamental divide between raw force and systemic manipulation renders a direct power comparison meaningless. Goku operates at YPS-6, capable of erasing planets, while Sora remains YPS-1, bound by human biology. Comparing them is like comparing a hurricane to a chess grandmaster; one destroys the board, the other wins the game. This cross-type gap shifts the analysis from what they can do to how they interact with their respective worlds. The true distinction lies in their relationship with autonomy and the nature of their agency. Goku represents the fantasy of infinite self-transcendence. His Ego score of 100 reflects a character who is the sole engine of his own growth, training not for a goal, but for the act of improvement itself. He is a force of nature that bends the narrative toward conflict. Sora, conversely, represents the fantasy of systemic optimization. His low Ego score of 15 exposes a critical fragility: his intellectual dominance is a symbiotic product of his bond with Shiro. While Goku is a self-contained unit of will, Sora is a component of a pair. This reveals a core tension in how isekai handles non-physical power. For Goku, power is an internal accumulation of energy that grants him freedom from the world's constraints. For Sora, power is an external understanding of the world's constraints that allows him to manipulate them. One seeks to break the ceiling; the other seeks to find the glitch in the architecture. The gap between a planet-buster and a gamer is not a matter of scale, but a difference in how they define victory.
