A convenient excuse for the Ordinary High-School Student to have high-powered martial arts skills is for the student to have been training since a very young age, and to be the heir to some obscure martial arts school. The current master may be a parent, or just a close friend who has taken the student in as a disciple. Unlike school clubs, martial arts training takes place outside of school, so the heir is unlikely to be a club member. The dojo itself is generally part of a Big Fancy House compound that features shishi-odoshi. Challengers frequently arrive to test the skills of the dojo's style... and the heir is generally put forward as the school's champion. A user of The Greatest Style is likely to want to pass this on, unless he considered it too dangerous and instead runs a Pacifist Dojo. A weaker form occasionally crops up in more Western works: an unlikely character ends up wiping out someone or two, and explains that their * insert relative here* is a sensei/boxing trainer/wrestling coach/gunslinger, and they grew up learning karate/boxing/wrestling/marksmanship. |

Ginryu of Like a Dragon: Ishin! turns out to be seeking an heir to his dojo, as he is actually a nobleman being pressured by his family to give the dojo up and marry into another noble family. Ginryu wants Ryoma to take over (he's not interested), but all his other students want Heinosuke, Ginryu's top student before Ryoma came along, to succeed him instead. | |

Ranma ½ provides several examples. Not only are Ranma and Akane the heirs to their families' particular branches of Musabetsu kakuto (Anything-Goes Martial Arts), they frequently encounter the heirs of other, often bizarre or outrageous, styles. It's only natural, however, that practitioners and aficionados of bizarre martial arts would seek each other out. | |

Usagi Yojimbo: Tomoe Ame was a prodigy at the sword as a child, but her father refused to let her inherit his dojo in favor of her brother, despite his inferior skill with the sword. Furthermore, Tomoe was eventually forbidden by her father to even spar with her brother to prevent embarrassing him. Fortunately, she was allowed to practice alone and fate eventually allowed her to become a samurai on her own terms. | |

Girls und Panzer: The main character Miho is a scion of the Nishizumi School of Sensha-Do. However, her older sister Maho is their mother's official heir, and she openly chastises her sister for not following the family tradition and teachings. This is in fact all a ruse. Maho took the mantle of the Nishizumi School (which raises Combat Pragmatist values and Second Place Is for Losers ideals into an art form) so her sister could follow her own, much gentler path. Maho is deeply proud of her little sis, but family and school honor demand that she scorns her sister in public. On a lighter note, Hana is the heir to her family tradition and was trained from an early age in the art of... ikebana (traditional Japanese flower arranging). Her mother was distraught that her daughter took up Sensha-Do instead of joining the family business, but gets better when she sees her daughter weave concepts learned from Sensha-do into her flower arrangements. |

Lyrical Nanoha: Being the most badass Magical Girl who ever lived and coming from a family of swordsmen, you'd expect this to apply to Nanoha, right? Wrong. Nanoha sucked at sports as a child, has never been shown to use a sword, and is weak at close range (relatively speaking). She does play it straight in Nanoha INNOCENT, but that's an alternate reality spin-off. Her older brother and sister on the other hand play this completely straight in both the main continuity and the original Triangle Heart 3: Sweet Songs Forever game/anime. |

Naruto: Subverted in that a large part of Neji Hyuga's Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy persona stems from the fact that he is not the real heir but a curse-marked member of a branch line, and that the actual heir to the dojo, his cousin Hinata, is considered frail and relatively weak, at least in the beginning. Played straight with Sasuke early on; half the crowd at the Chuunin Exam seemed to be there to see "the Uchiha" show his moves. Then again, pretty much his whole clan was wiped away. At least until his brother and some other Uchiha members show up, but they're another bag of cats all together. Most forget that, coming from Konoha's most noble and elite clans, the Akimichi and the Aburame, Choji, and Shino fall under this umbrella as well. Choji's father's main concern with Choji is that his nature is too gentle to be an efficient leader, and as for Shino...everyone forgets about Shino... |

Kenshiro of Fist of the North Star is probably one of the oldest examples. He is the legitimate heir of Hokuto Shinken, the most powerful martial art seen in the series, and regularly challenges the successors of other martial arts styles (mainly heirs to the different branches of Nanto Seiken, the 'rival' school of Hokuto Shinken). However, among the four Hokuto Shinken brothers, the second son Toki was supposed to be the original heir, but due to radiation poisoning, this became impossible. Ryuken had to decide between the first son Raoh and the fourth son Kenshiro and he ultimately chose Kenshiro as the most suitable heir. | |

Veritas: Gangryong is heir to the Enlightenment Of Thunder and Lightning (EOTL) school of Korean martial arts. This is subverted a bit in that Gangryong didn't know he was the heir to this until he was told that his master was killed. A large portion of the student body is this, being the children of dojos that follow the rule of "only one successor" and all that. |

Tenchi Muyo!: Masaki Tenchi]seems to have this as a reason for his skills with a sword, although his teacher hangs out at a shrine instead of a dojo. This doesn't explain other issues, just the thing with the sword. Makes more or less sense, since his teacher and grandfather used to be a mighty swordsman before he came to Earth and became the owner and priest of the shrine. | |

HeartCatch Pretty Cure!: Myoudouin Itsuki was made into this since her sick older brother Satsuki isn't expected to make it. She certainly has the skills, but in order to become as respected as he was, she must hide her femininity and love of cute things beneath a masculine exterior...and it's clearly wearing on her. Thankfully, though, Satsuki does make it and the first thing Itsuki does is become a Third Ranger... er, Cure. | |

Konomi's fandisc route in Princess Evangile reveals that she's actually the heiress to the Yanase Dojo currently run by her grandmother, which helps to explain why she's so skilled in naginata despite being younger than the rest of the main cast. What's more, said dojo is located in the same compound as the Big Fancy House that her parents and grandmother live in. By the ending, Masaya ends up becoming the heir to the dojo, courtesy of Konomi's grandmother and parents offering him to be their daughter's husband-to-be, with his already good naginata skills being honed by the former as part of it. | |

Played with in Power Rangers Ninja Storm. Cam, despite being the son of the sensei of the Wind Ninja Academy, was not given any ninja training due to a promise given to his late mother. However, he could still defend himself against the enemy Mooks, because "I grew up in a ninja school; do the math." Later on, the promise is worked around by training him as a samurai instead (even receiving the mother's blessing via Timey-Wimey Ball). | |

Anna Lemouri of Mana Khemia: Alchemists of Al-Revis is heir to her family dojo. In her final character subquest, she is trying to decide whether to dedicate her life to alchemy or swordsmanship. In her ending, she integrates alchemy into her school of swordsmanship - which means that she uses explosives and poisons in addition to blades. | |

ANOTHER Pokemon example. The Opelucid gym in Pokémon Black and White splits this across two games, but the two leaders have the same team. In Black, you face Drayden the master; in White, the apprentice Iris is your opponent. | |

Makoto from W Juliet has a problem that's similar to the one faced by the aforementioned Ken Wakashimazu: he does not want to be this despite his great skills, and his father is putting pressure on him. Makoto also gets a chance to get out of the tradition, but in his case, his dad tells him that since looks very girlish and he wants to be an actor, he shall prove himself as skilled enough to spend his high school years dressed as a girl without having his identity revealed to the public. If his true gender is leaked out, he'll come back home and retake his place without complaints. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX has an interesting take on this; Ryo Marufuji, outside of being the best duelist out of Duel Academia, is also the heir to the "Cyber Legacy", essentially the Tyke-Bomb of the "Cyber-Style" of dueling that incorporates his legendary Cyber Dragon cards (and even has its own dojo in the mountains for teaching duelists how to use the style). This becomes a plot point in two ways: first, when he went back to the dojo and faced off with his former teacher (Duel Academia's principal) for the dark half of the Legacy (the Cyberdark monsters he uses as Hell Kaiser), and in Season 4, when the heir to a rival "Psycho-Style" dueling school challenges him to determine which dueling style will remain in practice. | |

Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple: A Fanon theory states Kenichi one day might become an heir to Hayato Furinji as the head of the Ryozanpaku dojo. This trope is, however, played (almost) straight in the case of the Evil Mentor organization Yami: some disciples of Yami masters are candidates to become the heir to the Big Bad, the problem is that the masters cannot agree which one is the best candidate. Freya is the inheritor of a particularly obscure school of staff-fighting. |

Super Sentai: Played with in Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger where Sae/White was the heir to her father's dojo but was determined that she was going to become a martial artist on her own terms, so moved to Tokyo to train on her own. In Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, we learn that Doggie Kruger was given the inheritance to the intergalactic dojo he trained at as a cadet over the dojo owner's own son, who was considered to be too out of control and prone to abusing whatever power he was given to be trusted with it. Not surprisingly, this proved to be a problem for Doggie, in a latter episode. In Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger, Souji is the heir to his family's Musouken ("Peerless Sword") swordfighting dojo, but his creation of a more feral variant dubbed Zangeki Musouken ("Slashing Peerless Sword"} initially offends his more traditionalist father. After Souji saves him from a Monster of the Week, his father changes his mind, saying that he's fine with Souji carrying on the family name with his own style. |

Ryo Sakazaki of Art of Fighting fame seeks to inherit the title of "Master of Kyokugen" from his father, Takuma. In some continuities, he succeeds (such as when he is portrayed as a much older "Mr. Karate" in Buriki One) and in others, he prepares other disciples to do this (such as Marco in Garou: Mark of the Wolves.) | |

Subverted in Nanaka 6/17, where Jinpachi Arashiyama is the actual heir to the dojo as the oldest child, he doesn't know the first thing about kendo. Meanwhile, his sister Satsuki has many of the characteristics commonly associated with this trope, including being a super-intense Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy dedicated to becoming the best. She still encourages her brother, a tough-as-nails delinquent, to be as manly as possible to keep the family's reputation strong. | |

Sort of occurs in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. The protagonist's father is the leader of one of the gyms. While this example carries over to the rest of the franchise even less - both May (from the anime) and Ruby (from the mangas) become coordinators - two filler episodes of the anime featured dojos based on this trope. More traditionally, Janine is heir to the gym in Fuchsia City and takes over when her father Koga becomes a member of the Kanto/Johto Elite Four. The anime version of Flannery also recently inherited the Lavaridge Gym from her grandfather (in the game and manga, her grandfather was a member of Hoenn Elite Four, but may or may not have been the Lavaridge Gym Leader). ANOTHER Pokemon example. The Opelucid gym in Pokémon Black and White splits this across two games, but the two leaders have the same team. In Black, you face Drayden the master; in White, the apprentice Iris is your opponent. |
