8vs42
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. DNA tells a different story: Tanjiro Kamado: moral cost they'll pay, Rimuru Tempest: raw destructive ceiling. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
