Tyrant Takes the Helm: Difference between revisions

* Erika Furudo in ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', to a completely murderously sadistic extent.

* Makoto Isshiki in ''[[RahXephon]]'', who later becomes an [[Unwitting Pawn]].

* ''[[Love Hina]]'' (either the OAV or vol 11 of the Manga): Kanako Urashima, Keitaro's [[Emotionless Girl|creepy]], [[Brother-Sister Incest|somewhat overaffectionate]] adoptive sister manages to [[Yandere|provoke the tenants at Hinata to the point of open warfare]] when she takes over in her "Oniisan's" absence.

** In a way its more or less Karma catching up to the girls for mistreating Keitaro (despite the fact that they all eventually got along.)

* Steve Fleming in ''[[The Thick of It]]''. At first his colleagues are happy to see the back of [[Magnificent Bastard|Malcolm Tucker]] but when they realize how creepy, charmless and bad-tempered his replacement is they decide [[We Want Our Jerk Back|they want their jerk to come back]] from his [[Ten-Minute Retirement]].

* Arguably, Keith Mars when he {{spoiler|regains the position of sheriff}} in ''[[Veronica Mars]]''. While generally a good guy, his {{spoiler|response to underage drinking was way out of proportion to the actual problem}}.

* This trope could almost be called The Snyder, after Armin Shimerman's role on ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. Snyder replaced Principal Flutie after Flutie was eaten by students possessed by hyenas. While he openly despised pretty much all teenagers, he targeted Buffy and the Scoobie Gang; it was theorized in Season Two that he was working for Mayor Wilkins, but by Season Three [[Aborted Arc|he turned out to be as much in the dark]] [[Weirdness Censor|as the rest of the adult population of Sunnydale]].

* In the ''[[Midsomer Murders]]'' episode "Picture of Innocence'', Barnaby is taken off a case when he becomes one of the suspects and is replaced by the pencil-pushing bureaucrat Martin Spellman, much to Jones' disgust.
