Line 81:
* Definitely the case of the high school on ''[[Dance in the Vampire Bund]]'' as Mina was the one who founded the school and takes it over. Much to the anger of the current student council president.
** Also fairly well justified, as Mina founded the school with very controversial plans for it. This way, instead of having to deal with continual resistance from the student body, clubs and student council, parents, teachers, the school board, news services and the general public, she only has to deal with a student council used to suppressing all the other groups and which already consists of the strongest-minded and most politically active students. They'd have been manageable even without the way things turned out.
* Turned on its head with ''[[Angel Beats!]]''. Since the show is set to an equivalent of Purgatory, the Student Council represents subordinates of the Creator of said world. One of the female lead actually forms a rival organization to battle said student council. The catch? Besides the [[Student Council President]], most of the members of the Student Council are non-humans (referred to as NPCs, placeholders of human beings who are mostly completely apathetic and oblivious to whatever zaniness occurs near them). Also, since they are simply dedicated to preserve order (which the rival organization always try to subvert), they don't do much around the school.
** Actually {{spoiler|Kanade, aka Angel, really was human all along. She's just an extreme [[Emotionless Girl]] and as a result is mistaken as a NPC. Naoi, the Student Council Vice President is human as well.}}
** {{spoiler|It would also seem that the Student Council has no god-given authority; it's just that it happens to be there, and Kanade, being the extremely good person she is, rose to become head of it; it's mere coincidence that she also happened to try and enforce order on the other humans in Purgatory (for a good cause, it should be noted). Naoi, however, who at his introduction was attempting to become God, was probably [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|consciously playing up to this trope.]]}}
