Line 28:
* ''[[Holyland]]'': The unnamed [[Yakuza]] regular at the bar Masaki works at is never stated to be a high-ranking officer of a powerful family or otherwise anyone who matters at the level he usually operates at. To the mostly teen and young adult cast, the mere threat of the full-grown criminals, even if it's just some nobodies, getting involved in their squabbles is a massive problem.
* ''[[Zipang]]'': The ''Mirai'' is just a single ship in the 21st century, and not even the best kind thereof, ultimately replaceable and nothing special. When brought back to World War II, the question isn't whether it by itself can upend the conflict, but whether it is moral to do so and in which side's favour.
* ''[[Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town]]'': As one might have gathered from the title, Lloyd is considered a weakling in his village, which is next to a still-uncleared dungeon with the strongest monsters in the world. Being amongst normal people puts into perspective just how strong he objectively is.

Line 51 ⟶ 52:
* ''[[The Thessalonica Legacy]]'': Ramirez's ''Valkyrie'' is a Light 'Mech, bottom of the totem pole, and not even the best of that bottom-dweller pack. Without any other 'Mechs in Equestria to compete with, though, it is the absolute sovereign of the battlefield.
* 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.
