There Can Be Only One	comment	The long-term plot of the program revolves around a group of characters whose numbers are being slowly whittled away by one means or another, usually by killing each other. In the case of some reality shows, this is a process of elimination intended to result in a single winner. In other shows, this is a dramatic device, designed to generate tension and conflict with which to drive the overall plot of an episode or Story Arc (if any); in these cases it is sometimes combined with Anyone Can Die to especially heighten the resulting excitement, even when the apparent main character may be protected by Contractual Immortality. Compare Gotta Kill Them All. When a game utilizes both this and Deadly Game, you get a Battle Royale Game. Compare the Tontine, a financial arrangement that frequently creates this situation in the final stages. Does not apply to pure game shows, as they have no overall storylines for the elimination to serve. Compare Dwindling Party, where it's less a competitive elimination and more a bloody murder spree. Named for one of the catchphrases that came out of the Highlander franchise.

Unluckily, there were several thousand drops of blood splattered across a battlefield. So, several thousand Lobos found themselves in one place — and what followed was a awesome and horrifying deathmatch, until only one Lobo remained. The funny thing about this was that Lobo always had this power — Vril Dox, Brainiac 2, suppressed it. It wasn't until Lobo was forcibly regressed to a teen that it came back.

There Can Be Only One / int_2dfb1427	comment	The Baldur's Gate series basically revolves around the mortal children of the God of Murder, who he created before his death to inherit his power and become his successor. In the first game, one of his sons plans to start a brutal and bloody war to use all the fallen as a sacrifice in a ritual that will turn him to the new God of Murder. In the Grand Finale in the addon to the second game, all the remaining children start to hunt down and kill each other to absorb all the fragments of their fathers divine power and become a god. The god in question actually planned for them to all die so their energy could be used to bring him back to life. Of course, this doesn't go quite as planned either... and the player character can take his powers at the end of it all. Without killing absolutely all the others, since Imoen can give up her share of the power voluntarily and Sarevok no longer has his after being resurrected. This is already cryptically hinted at by Sarevok's line in the opening cinematic of the first game, when the player has no idea what's going on.

There Can Be Only One / int_2f203125	comment	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga had a concept similar to this, with individuals replaced by entire tribes fighting each other for dominance. When a tribe's leader is defeated, the remainder of the tribe must swear loyalty to the victor, and this continues until only one tribe remains. The winning tribe then gets to ascend to Nirvana. This also stays true for the novels as well. In Persona 3: FES, the ex-SEES members discover that they can break out of the Time Skip by assembling the eight fragments of the Key of Time, of which each of them possesses one. Naturally, a disagreement breaks out over how to use this power (more specifically, whether to go back to the past or continue in the present); they solve it by arranging a four-way fight, with the members all pairing off against one another. In Devil Survivor, the King of Bel has the power to command all of demon-kind. To become King of Bel, a being with a fragment of Bel's original power must defeat all of his fellows and absorb their fragments as well. The player character is one of them, the only human Bel. This gets him hunted by several powerful Bel demons... until he starts hunting them down instead. In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, the Conception is supposed to work like this: formulate a Reason (an idea for a new world to replace the dead one), gather enough Magatsuhi to summon a deity interested in backing your idea, destroy your opponents (anyone else who has developed a Reason and/or summoned their own patron) and finally confront Kagutsuchi with the blessing of your god to have your idea implemented, with the laws of reality itself changing to accomodate your wish. There are a number of ways to break the game, though.

Toki gave up his claim to succession after he fell ill from radiation poisoning (but would create his own offshot of the style called "Hokuto Ujouken"), and after Kenshiro was named successor, Jagi tried to retaliate, only to be disfigured by Kenshiro. Raoh, meanwhile, declared that Hokuto Shinken was doomed to die out and, after killing their master Ryuken, became a warlord. Ultimately, by the end of the first series, the other practitioners of Hokuto Shinken die, leaving only Kenshiro.

There Can Be Only One / int_6ac55ec7	comment	When the Druid and Monk classes were first introduced to Dungeons & Dragons (in the Greyhawk and Blackmoor supplements, respectively), the rules restricted the numbers of higher-level characters in the classes. If you wanted to advance to the upper echelons, you had to defeat one of the characters who already held that rank. At the highest levels, each class allowed only a single individual. This carried into the first edition of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons. The first edition of AD&D had much the same thing going on with Assassins. The highest two levels, 14 and 15 are reached by taking over an assassin's guild by killing the Guildmaster (a 14th-level assassin) and by finding and killing one of the existing Grandmasters in order to reach Grandmaster level (15th) yourself. A lesser example is the Green Star Adept Prestige Class. You become one by using the fragments of a certain green comet to make a potion, and then you have to keep taking it until in the end, you transform into a living sentient golem. The problem is, there is only so much comet matter falling from the skies, so the relationship between individual Adepts is, to put it mildly, somewhat strained.

There Can Be Only One / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider: This occurs in Kamen Rider BLACK on a smaller scale. A duel between two riders in a contest of who is to be God. The Rider War in Kamen Rider Ryuki is probably the most well known example of this trope in Kamen Rider. In this series, 13 Riders fight it out to the death. The winner gets to have his or her wish granted. The alternate universe version portrayed in Kamen Rider Decade turned this battle into a trial, in which the victor of the battle gets to determine wether the accused is guilty or not. Each of the 52 Undead in Kamen Rider Blade is an immortal avatar of one of the species on earth. Once in every ten thousand years, they fight against each other in a Battle Royale to determine which species gets to rule the earth. In the previous Battle, the Human Undead won, thus making humanity the dominant species. It turns out that the Battle taking place during the series was manipulated by the organization BOARD. Their plan was to create their own artificial Undead and have it win the Battle, thus allowing the chairman of BOARD to recreate the world in his image. There's another rub to the Battle Royale in the form of the Joker Undead, which doesn't represent a specific species but acts as the "wild card" in the battle. If the Joker wins, the Earth loses, as roach-like Undead begin spawning endlessly and slaughtering every other life-form on the planet. When this actually happens, The Hero Kazuma Kenzaki resolves the crisis by turning himself into a second Joker, putting the Battle into a permanent stalemate. This occurs in the Kamen Rider Decade movie where Decade, having embraced his role as the Destroyer of Worlds, sets out to defeat every Kamen Rider. In Kamen Rider Gaim it is slowly revealed that the only way to save the world from being destroyed is to claim the legendary Golden Fruit, which gives its eater godlike powers. Naturally, multiple factions start fighting over it, resulting in this trope. In the end,Kouta Kazuraba and Kaito Kumon become the only two remaining riders worthy enough to claim the Golden Fruit and fight to the death for the right to rule the world with it. Kamen Rider Geats has this trope as its basic premise: Riders battle each other in the Desire Grand Prix, with the winner getting to reshape the world into their ideal image.

The Dragonborn DLC for Skyrim begins with the First Dragonborn, Miraak, sending his cult members to eliminate the Player Character for being a "False Dragonborn" and an obvious threat to his power.

There Can Be Only One / int_babeae6a	comment	Godzilla vs. Kong: Discussed by the humans. Dr. Andrews believes that Godzilla will hunt Kong down and fight him to the death the moment Kong steps out of his original territory's borders and into Godzilla's global territory, saying that two Alpha Titans can't coexist with each-other in the same place. The Big Bad Wannabe Walter Simmons, with his monstrously warped notion of humanism, uses this ideology to justify creating Mechagodzilla and planning to get rid of the Alpha Titans, saying there can only be one reigning alpha species and he intends for it to be a monster that's under complete HUMAN control (which isn't as good a thing as it sounds in this setting). Both Andrews and Simmons are ultimately proven wrong in the end, when Godzilla and Kong not only put their animosity aside to destroy Mechagodzilla once Ghidorah's subconsciousness has possessed it, but afterwards the two Alphas opt to bury the hatchet with each-other and peacefully go their separate ways, with Kong reigning in the Hollow Earth whilst Godzilla maintains his dominance on the surface world.

When a tribe's leader is defeated, the remainder of the tribe must swear loyalty to the victor, and this continues until only one tribe remains. The winning tribe then gets to ascend to Nirvana. This also stays true for the novels as well.

The former was addicted to science and spinal fluid. The latter was a Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto Us sort of guy. The rest have gone into hiding and become extremely paranoid of other immortals because of it. in the anime. In the novels, Maiza refuses to tell anyone else the formula for immortality due to an epiphany he had while imbuing his brother with the knowledge that the demon's rules encourage a "There can be only one" situation due to the paranoia of being devoured by their fellow immortals. Excluding the 1930's generation, he was mostly correct. Without exception, all 3 known times that Ronnie has granted others immortality, one has always gone crazy and attempted to devour the rest (only the 2nd (the 1300's immortals) and 3rd times (the 1700's immortals) have been detailed, the first was only mentioned in passing in the novels when he lamented at how quickly they always turned. note (In the Novel Szilard's goal is only to allow people who worship him unconditionally as a god to be immortal and create an eternal kingdom that fawns over his every desire (he was regretful that he devoured Barnes since Barnes was the exact sort of fanatic that he WANTED to exist, and had let his anger over losing the formula yet again get the better of him)

Yakuza 2 makes this an overarching element of the entire game's plot due to Ryuji Goda, an Osakan yakuza known as the "Dragon of Kansai", a title he hates because it implies the existence of other dragons and, as far as he's concerned, there can be only one dragon — and that means the Dragon of Dojima has got to go.

There Can Be Only One / int_f301fd1a	comment	Sekirei combines this trope with the Harem Genre, with human masters known as Ashikabi forming bonds with Human Aliens. There are 108 of them, and powerful Ashikabi are capable of forming bonds with multiple Sekirei, building a formidable Battle Harem that improves their chances of victory. This, however, is a cruel twist since it turns out the rule remains strictly one surviving Sekirei regardless of how many an Ashikabi has. Miya even calls out Matsu on encouraging harem-building, pointing out the cruelty of encouraging people to bond and fall in love, when all but one will have to die in the end. Ultimately, Musubi decides to Take a Third Option through absorbing the souls of her comrades, allowing her to borrow their powers for the final battle. Afterwards, she uses her wish to restart all the Sekirei so that everyone can have a happy ending.

There Can Be Only One / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh! has the card "There Can Be Only One" ("Sensor Differentiation" in Japanese), which is named after the line from Highlander in the TCG. Its effect is loosely related to the trope in that it prevents both players from controlling more than one monster of each Type, and if they control more than one monster of a Type, they must send cards they control to the Graveyard so that they only control one of that Type. Dark Highlander's effect is to prevent any Synchro Summons, and the name is clearly a Shout-Out.

The two who make it are Mireille and Kirika, who aren't interested in the 'prize' of being the top enforcers of a cult with a world domination bent.
