* Subverted in ''[[Ranma One Half½|Ranma 1/2]]'': after Akane injures herself on the night before the [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics]] tournament, she despairs at the thought of finding someone who "...[[Supernatural Martial Arts|is good at martial arts]], [[Suddenly Always Knew That|knows gymnastics]], and [[Ms. Fanservice|looks good in a leotard]]" in such short notice. Everyone immediately shanghais [[My Kung Fu Is Stronger Than Yours|Ranma]] into service.
* In the baseball episode of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', all the members of the team quit before the big game against the Americans, so the ninja coach recruits the main characters. Mugen and Jin are the only useful ones however, as the other players are Fuu, an old man, a dog, and Fuu's [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|pet flying squirrel.]]
* In the Dark Tournament arc of ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', circumstances leave both Team Urameshi and Team Toguro with only four of the required five members as they head into the finals, so each team's sponsor (Koenma and Sakyo, respectively) volunteers to fill the missing rank. Possibly [[Subverted]], as neither one are actually combatants, and both freely admit that they will run like hell rather than set foot in the ring.
