Same series
The useful question is not who is stronger. It is how the same story-world makes two different identities legible.

Different power types make direct strength comparison misleading. What matters here is the character identity gap: what each existence does to the world, not who hits harder. Tanjiro Kamado's DNA tells a broader story: their narrative is built around self-determination and identity / who they fight for. Muzan Kibutsuji's identity is more narrowly defined by comparison.
