Analysis
YPS-3
Slight power edge
YPS-4
Shin Wolford has a slight tier edge, but one tier rarely decides outcomes. DNA becomes the real tiebreaker. DNA tells a different story: Tanjiro Kamado: how much the universe protects them, Shin Wolford: who they fight for. These are different character shapes, not different power levels.
