Line 25:
* Subverted in ''[[Code Geass]]'': {{spoiler|A sufficiently powerful Geass User can kill the immortal who gave them their powers, thereby becoming an immortal themselves. The subversion is that most immortals ''want'' to be killed (because [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]?) and typically trick their partners into going through with it.}}
** Interestingly enough, {{spoiler|Lelouch becomes the Emperor of Brittania and then Suzaku becomes ''Zero'' by both killing the previous holder of those titles. These were just part of Lelouch's final [[Xanatos Gambit]] rather than a tradition, though.}}
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'', an immortal who "eats" another immortal receives all of their knowledge and memories in the process. The demon who set the rules ''claims'' that it's so that he gets something out of the contract when the last immortal gets sick of living and summons him again to be devoured, but you can't help but wonder if he didn't just want to see Szilard [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity|totally lose his shit and start killing everyone]] {{smallcaps|[[For Science!]]!}} (which he does).
* The only way to get the Number One headband in ''[[Afro Samurai]]'' is to kill the one who has it, but they have to have the Number Two headband, which is ''also'' obtained by killing whoever has it.
** The difference is that while the Number One can only be challenged by Number Two, Number Two can be challenged by ''anyone''. An episode ''does'' show more headbands (at least up to Number Seven, IIRC), but their purpose is never explicitly explained in the series.
