Tyrannicide	comment	A ruler tyrannizes his realm, whether by committing genocide, robbing his subjects or kicking puppies; one day, La RÃ©sistance murders him in order to free their country. The act, along with the one committing it, was historically sometimes seen as praiseworthy, except in contexts where the given head of state held his power from divine right.For the history nerds...The ancient Greek root, tyrannos, only denoted a ruler who came to power through means that weren't considered legitimate. The word began to take on its modern connotations late in the Classical period. Can be the fate of a President Evil, President for Life (with emphasis on the Life part), the Feudal Overlord, The Evil Prince, The Caligula, The Generalissimo, the Evil Queen, and the Evil Overlord. The ruler's death getting a favorable reaction from the people is also more likely when said ruler has a 0% Approval Rating. It's nothing to do with a Tyrannosaurus rex, unless the dinosaur's a Tyrannical Rex, too. Related to The Kingslayer, Asshole Victim, and Bully Hunter. If done by a foreign power, then it's Regime Change. Compare Meet the New Boss and Full-Circle Revolution, and contrast Tyrant Takes the Helm. Real-life examples are limited to the Trope Namers. As a Death Trope, spoilers will be unmarked on this page.

After hearing Dibala, when asked about genocide, replying he would do what he thinks necessary for his country, Chase bungles the diagnosis, thereby causing the death of Dibala.

Interestingly, it always warns its targets 72 hours in advance and will cancel the assassination if the target resigns or repents of their crimes. The Foundation hasn't found any way to contain SCP-2578 yet, so they focus instead on disguising these executions as completely mundane assassination plots.

When they later discuss the aftermath with Caesar's surviving ally Mark Antony, the latter points out that justifying Caesar's murder as tyrannicide has created a conundrum for everyone, as all of Caesar's motions, including the appointment of Brutus' and Antony's offices, are legally null and void. The factions agree to forego a new election by declaring a general amnesty. Antony then rouses the common people (for whom Caesar was a hero) against the assassins, forcing them to flee Rome.

Unique in that the group that overthrew him was the army of the realm he had overthrown, and that killing him didn't involve an assassination as much as a decades-long campaign to destroy his home nation and depose Amaris himself, followed by summary execution by firing squad. A lesser example is Hohiro Kurita I, regarded as a domineering and austere megalomaniac. He is eventually killed by a member of his own Otomo bodyguard unit, though it does not ease the suffering of the people by much—his successor Takashi Kurita proved to be just as brutal in his own ways.

Tyrannicide / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: Jaime Lannister , who killed an evil, mad king, Aerys II through Back Stab to stop them burning down King's Landing with wildfire. He did a lot of good to the realm and had the most genuinely noble intentions. No one will let him forget it, though, as he was sworn to protect the King. Joffrey is later murdered by his grandmother-in-law Olenna Tyrell and Littlefinger, although this was not so much for the sake of the realm as it is for advancing their own personal agendas. At the end of the Dance of the Dragons Aegon II was poisoned as Cregan Stark's army approached King's Landing, though it is unknown who was responsible. However, Cregan arrested many people for the crime, giving most of them the choice between death or exile, as he felt a king's murder should be punished. Aegon's rival, his half-sister Rhaenyra, was killed by him when he fed her to his dragon and had proved tyrannical in her half-year rule over King's Landing, starving the people and executing many. Aegon the Conqueror fought the cruel Black Harren Hoare, who had spent his sixty-year reign forcing the Riverlands to build his gigantic castle of Harrenhal, meaning when Aegon attacked many of the Riverlords joined him. When Harren took refuge in his castle, Aegon used his dragon to burn the castle, eliminating House Hoare.

One of his most consistent goals throughout the series is to assassinate the tyrannical Emperor of Britannia. When he eventually succeeds, he takes up the throne and deliberately fashions himself into an even worse tyrant, specifically to give all of humanity a single shared enemy to unite them, leading to a better world after his arranged assassination. In other words, he metaphorically destroys the role of Emperor itself.

Euron openly admits to kinslaying his own brother, Balon, and justifies himself on the grounds that Balon's rule brought nothing but grief to the Ironborn as he led them into two wars that they couldn't win and made them the laughing stock of Westeros and says that his only regret was that Balon was not killed before he did these terrible things. The other Ironborn agree with Euron. While it may be true that Balon was a terrible king, it doesn't change the fact that Euron is all kinds of worse than Balon could ever be, with one tyrant replaced with a more malicious one. The best you can say about Euron is that he understands the importance of powerful allies and that the Ironborn are too few in number to take on all of Westeros.

Tyrannicide / int_d8bc5a6e	comment	In the novel adaptation, Bill simply beat his head with his gun but doesn't dare shoot his old friend. Afterward, given Ryan's bodyguards were Bill's family friends, they shot him instead of pinning him alive.

Tyrannicide / int_d8cdb77	comment	Mega Man Zero 4: In the climax, Craft rebels against the current ruler of Neo Arcadia, Dr. Weil, and hijacks the control system of Ragnarok in order to kill him. In a subversion, not only does Neo Arcadia get utterly destroyed in the process, Weil survived the attack thanks to his regenerative armor. In the end, Weil does get killed by Zero, but by then the country is already no more. Downplayed with the previous ruler of Neo Arcadia, Copy X. He does try to make the empire close to a utopia... but he's so oppressive to Reploids in that he considers retiring minor, innocent Reploids is a good solution for the energy crisis. Then Zero slays him in the first game. In the second game, his second in command Harpuia assumes the role in secret, where the empire becomes less oppressive under him. In the third game, this is fully played straight — Copy X is revived by Dr. Weil and becomes worse; he now considers human society a fair game, as seen when he demolished an entire city block with a missile just to get the Dark Elf. Zero slays him again, only for Weil to take his place.

Tyrannicide / int_e199d649	comment	Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle: In the end, it is Eragon who kills Galbatorix, the Big Bad and current ruler of Alagaesia. He does this by inventing a game-changing spell (with the help of the dragon's Wild Magic) that causes the tyrant to feel all the pain he has caused directly or indirectly during his hundred-year reign, forcing Galbatorix to finally realize what he's done to the nation and kill himself with magic when Eragon refuses to end the spell.

Not that Kycilia is that much better of a person herself, but killing their father proves to be a bridge too far for her, so she decides to shoot him, consequences be damned.
