* Pretty much anyone from Remnant once they get to Earth, in the ''[[RWBY]]'' fic ''[[Emergence]]''. Team RWBY and Team JNPR are all promising new students but far from the best at what they do -- and on Earth they are unstoppable juggernauts that are nigh-invulnerable to anything short of anti-tank weapons. Cinder and her people are at least an order of magnitude more dangerous than them. Even Cinder's Faunus mooks -- one gets hit by several fifty-caliber rounds and can still keep going. |

* ''[[Kimi no Na Iowa]]'' uses this to put the abyssal threat into perspective and illustrate why the shipgirls are needed. By naval standards, a PT boat is no match for a "true" warship, being reliant on ambush tactics and numbers to prevail. Compared to humans, an abyssal PT Imp mounts heavy weapons that will tear a tree in two, never mind a man, will resist anything less, is wrapped up in an [[Enfant Terrible]]-sized package with the speed and agility of a car, and is still deployed in numbers more like infantry than ships. The second-weakest abyssal type, destroyers, all carry multiple artillery cannons and need direct hits from equivalent weapons to sink, and things only get worse for the [[Puny Earthlings]] from there. The same applies to the shipgirls opposing them; it is said in-universe that even a destroyer would easily overpower any wannabe sexual predator no matter what fancy grappling tricks might be employed, and an old battleship like Yamashiro can still pull a train or plow unstoppably through a crowd. |

* ''[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/ghost-in-the-city-cyberpunk-gamer-si.1046809/ Ghost in the City]'': By Night City standards, Motoko is middling; while the Gamer system gives her some edges that surprise even more experienced people, there are still plenty who can challenge, stalemate or even defeat her, all of whom would still be easy meat for real Night City top dogs like Adam Smasher. A visit to a less hardcore city like Seattle, where having a knife is enough for gang work and multiple men with guns is considered being "loaded for war", puts into perspective just how terrifying she really is to an objective outsider. |
