Saiyan infant crash-landed on Earth, conquest mission erased by head trauma, raised by hermit. Growth slope is the entire genre; ego near zero, fight-hunger replaces strategy.
The comparison is strongest when power scale, story role, and DNA dimensions are kept separate until the final read.

Son Goku holds a meaningful power lead. A 2-tier gap is bridgeable only by exploiting scenario and DNA advantages aggressively. DNA tells a different story: Yue: moral cost they'll pay, Son Goku: how much the universe protects them. These are different character shapes, not different power levels. Yue is the more complex character study despite the power gap: a pattern common in isekai where the weaker character carries more narrative weight.
