Considering the aesthetics of the Garnet world, they must be in their early 20s, otherwise the news of marriage would not have been so unexpected for them.

Yes, Shouma's actor is 19 and Kid Shouma's actor is 10 years old, but Shouma's actual age has never been mentioned. It'd make no sense if I choose Shouma's actor's age as his in-universe age, since it'd mean that he was only 1 year old when Hanto's mom was kidnapped 18 years ago, which makes no sense at all.

If Kid Shouma's age was at least 7 years old (by using Kid Shouma's actor's actual age minus 3) 18 years ago, then it'd make waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more sense than using Shouma's actor's age. That's why I chose to go with Kid Shouma's actor's age which gives the range of 25-28 years old.

Say, if Shouma's in-universe age is 21-23 years old like you said, then it'd still makes no sense because it means his age 18 years ago was only 3-5 years old, which is obviously contradicting what's been shown on screen multiple times.

See? That's how pathetically faulty and screwed up the logic and common sense of this story is. The writers can't even get Shouma's age right! Let that sink in.

Dysfunctionality doesn't mean having a weak physique, but a weak soul/personality. Like I elaborated above, the plethora of visual evidence have suggested that Shouma is at least 25 years old, so he should be able to find a job for himself without relying on Sachika. Shouma's dysfunctional personality is precisely because he only communicated with his mom prior to episode 1. He and his mom were treated abusively by Bouche and the Stomach siblings, and were practically house arrested inside Bouche's mansion. Heck, his mom was obviously very very very depressed and likely mentally disturbed due to the near a quarter of a century of toxic treatment (and house arrest!), so it only makes perfect sense if Shouma himself grow up to be a very very very dysfunctional person. This is why Bouche's utterly idiotic decision to imprison Shouma and his mom 1000% makes no sense at all. I already elaborated on this in several of my posts since episode 5.

Also, Shouma is obviously physically stronger than normal humans because he's a human-Granute hybrid, but compared to normal, pure-blooded Granutes such as the Granute of the week in episode 1, Shouma is a total weakling loser, let alone compared to the Stomach family members. He even admitted that fact himself when he fought the Granute of the week in episode 1 before transforming into KR Gavv.
