Analysis
YPS-3
Slight power edge
YPS-4
Denji has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Denji's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around raw destructive ceiling / self-determination and identity. Tanjiro Kamado's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
