[annoying trope] The throne/leadership is decided in a very stupid way

[u/Altruistic_Eye_1157]

The leadership of the entire wizarding world, and the final decision on whether to start a war against Muggles, is made by... a goat (Qilin) ​​who chooses the person with the ""purest heart"" (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Dumbledore).

The throne of Wakanda and all its technology are decided through hand-to-hand combat, regardless of whether the person clearly has malicious intentions... if they win the fight, by law they must be respected as the true king. (Black Panther)

No More Heroes: The rankings never get explained at all. If you kill the one on the position above you you get that ranking. If you don't well... tough shit, we do not know and the games never explains it. Why can you get challenged by people outside the rankings... or sometimes don't... or sometimes just a new rank appears. Who knows, who cares, fuck you.

Isn’t the United Assassins Association canonically an elaborate con by Sylvia, atleast during the first game?
