Did your new leader start off their reign by making a speech that included phrases such as [[New Era Speech|"there will be many changes around here"]] or "things will be very different under my command"? If so, then you're in a situation where a [[Tyrant Takes
This is a plot trope relating to a [[Story Arc]] where a character snags a major leadership position of the series, becomes [[Drunk with Power]], and decides that from here on out, things will be run ''their'' way whether you like it or not. The person regularly filling this position, often a [[Reasonable Authority Figure]], will likely be absent during this time (and this new replacement may have had something to do with that.) As would be expected of a tyrannical ruler, expect them to immediately start making "changes" and becoming an instant despot. Common changes made include the elimination of [[Ultimate Job Security]] and the decree that [[All Crimes Are Equal]]. In most cases, the main heroes will have to confront this new ruler and attempt to change things back to normal.
