General matchup

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

Analysis
YPS-3
Slight power edge
YPS-4

Glass has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. Tanjiro Kamado's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around how much the universe protects them / who they fight for. Glass's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
