A bit off-topic, but it's kind of something that still goes over my head... I was never quite sure how famous Dante was in his own world. There were those porn-posters of him plastered all over the Empire (i.e. the world), and yet none of the Arbatov sisters recognised him. Teenagers had photos of the young Dante on their walls, but those Sinister Dexter lookalikes had no idea who he was.
Of course, everyone in the world knew his name at the end. Just as his annoyingly cocky younger self predicted. I heard of someone who went on a date with a pre-fame Conor McGregor, who predicted the same thing of himself, but fuck him.
