>>53485066Lance is a jobber. He's famous for dragons the same way the guy with 6 magikarp is for water types. He's like a kid whose only strategy is stacking pseudos, but his only competition was bumfuck hillbillies who didn't realize they were sitting on a mountain of fairies.
I take any character hyping from SwSh with a grain of salt because that's the whole region identity is overhyping. I'll concede Raihan could beat Lance though.
Clan relationships are extremely hostile, either because something something dragons are strong against dragons, or because the other clans have made fun of Lance so much that the whole Blackthorn clan is stuck in an obligatory state of war with them. Claire is of course humiliated by Lance's existence and tries to lure him into situations where he will be eaten by dragons, but sadly the clan's primary species are the dopiest dragons possible.
