Imagine telling her that even some of the weakest villains like Demon King Piccolo could easily blow up the moon. And Frieza Force soldiers, even average Saiyans like Raditz, let alone elites such as Nappa, Vegeta and especially the Ginyu Force—can easily conquer and destroy entire planets for a living. Meanwhile, Frieza himself was already Large star level back in the Namek saga, and controlled an intergalactic business empire!

Not to mention, Perfect Cell is at least Solar system level, and Majin Buu destroyed a galaxy at full power—but DBS characters jump from universal to multi-universal levels, then Goku and Vegeta end up fighting literal space gods and angels. 💀😭

Change my mind.

What would she think about the fact that the median income for most middle-class workers and citizens is around 50 to 100K dollars in some first-world countries today, and many people can afford decent housing, indoor plumbing; as well as regularly consume fast food, fresh fruits, sweets, Ice Cream and chocolate from a nearby restaurant/or bakery—and even shop for clothes from a supermarket? Then she learns about inflation and modern living costs. 💀😭

Still though, many ordinary families can live in comfortable apartments, or even a house with two to three bedrooms, TVs, refrigerators, sofas, a living room and also two bathrooms. Or that people can watch all sorts of TV series, anime, movies/dramas, news and World events as they unfold (including international politics and war)? And of course, almost anyone can stream and listen to music daily on their smartphones LOL!

Not to mention, the Global literacy rate is currently at 87%, primary/middle-school education is mandatory in most countries, and even High-school is relatively common nowadays. While some professions require a University/college degree just for a higher income! 💀

But imagine her reaction to the fact that many people have to study from ages 6 to 20 or 22, just to be elligible for employement, then work multiple jobs for Big corporations for another 40+ years—and hope to save enough money for retirement by 60~65, but they'll still have to pay taxes for the rest of their lives.

Wait until she finds out that 3,000 billionaires on the entire planet control 10% of all Global wealth, despite making up less than 1 in 2 million of the human population—but only 15~20 of them are actual members of Royalty or Nobility. 💔

Just to put things into perspective; the average European Noble/aristocratic family today is roughly 100~200 times wealthier than the average person, which is still 100 times less wealthy than the average billionaire—who is hundreds of times lesser than Elon Musk. Let that sink in 😭

I just wanted to correct a certain user's comment from an old post; Rae and Claire are definitely NOT middle-aged by WataOshi standards (if we assume their society is based on late 1700s~1800s France).

Life expectancy in the past was only so low due to high infant mortality levels, war and disease. Even most adult commoners lived well into their 40s and 50s, meanwhile wealthy elites and Nobility usually made it until their 60s or 70s—But were considered lucky to live past 80 or 90 years old (though that depends on whether or not they're magic users in Bauer's case).

So the median life expectancy for both commoners and Nobles should be around the 50s/60s range respectively, which is still 20 years less than the Global average nowadays—But not nearly as low as that comment claimed. Which means that Claire and Thane's mothers did in fact die at a very young age LOL!
