Allow me to observe some of the ways we might look into their contrast, with a few more theoretical observations to add more potential points to the reading.
Credit where it's due: Parts of this video were supplemented with points from a private conversations with HotBoySpicy (with realizations I made talking to him, plus a few insights of his own), so much thanks there. I also did watch a Blackbeard theory video by Parvision. It offered a couple points I found interesting, one I brought up here being related to Blackbeard's crew as outcasts who doubled down on their identities, perhaps being trapped in harmful things for it (which I expanded on by adding contrast to the Straw Hats). There's some other ideas worth considering, and a number of shaky points I can't say I gel with, but I'll let you make your own judgements: youtube.com/watch?v=_RPtKYnjbys

I had to hastily cut a mention of ‘when we might get the Egghead flashback’ at the end of the script, because the most recent chapters have started it, at a point where things are not looking very good for the characters!
I also wanted to explain why I used a Digimon clip regarding ‘something that made me think things were going to go bad for the Straw Hats’. That Digimon is part of a set themed after the Four Cardinal Beasts, the four colors of which also match the current Four Emperors. The color related to the turtle Digimon has everything to do with one of the probable reasons I think things aren’t going to go well for the Straw Hats this arc.Wano: An Analysis in Three ActsCraftsdwarf2023-10-08 | Unpacking One Piece's longest arc yet in my longest video yet, with a dig into the conflicts, symbols, and characters of Wano.

If you don’t read the Representations Thesis, I’d still highly recommend at least the Children of Sailor Moon article, which I also reference here several times. Even if you just read sections of the Representations paper relevant to your interests based on what is listed as a source: it's neat stuff!

Addendum: Regarding the mythological context of dragon beats dragon, I don't know if that's real. I convinced myself of it through the other examples in Pokemon and Monster Hunter but haven't found full sources for it aside from assumption (IE that if dragons are godlike beings in myth [which they are] that they cannot easily be defeated, but most of the stuff I found talks about how they're symbols of good luck, and thus you wouldn't want to defeat one). They're also used to represent the state/government, so one can read dragon vs dragon as country vs country (IE war, with the hypothetical tiger being a civil rebellious force), but where it directly spawns from I have no idea. For sure it's still very much a 'fight fire with fire' thing so the old point is still very much wrong even if the new point here isn't wholly correct. I don't expect Pokemon to be the first to have used it, but I'm also not capable of looking things up in Japanese to find out where it did come from (one article on dragon symbolism on Academia.edu was entirely in Japanese). Apologies for the misunderstanding on my part.
