Raw power is tilted before the argument starts. The interesting part is what survives after that gap is admitted.

In a direct clash, Milim Nava wins: 3 tiers of separation is a gap that DNA edges alone cannot close. DNA tells a different story: Tanjiro Kamado: how much the universe protects them, Milim Nava: raw destructive ceiling. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Tanjiro Kamado is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
