* ''Anime/AfroSamurai'' revolves around this, with the ArtifactsOfDoom known as the [[MartialArtsHeadband Number One & Two Headbands]]. Whoever claims the Number One Headband is the WorldsBestWarrior, but [[OnlyICanKillHim only the holder of the Number Two is able to challenge them for it]]. As a result, whoever holds the Number Two has to constantly live on the run from would-be assassins seeking to claim it from their corpse to go after the Number One.

* This is why Foop fights Poof in ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'', believing there can be only one fairy baby in the universe. However, FridgeLogic dictates that without Poof, Foop can't exist either. This comes up in the special "Timmy's Secret Wish".

* In ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'', this is a core tenant of Hokuto Shinken: there can be only one successor of Hokuto Shinken, and all other desciples must willingly agree to never practice it again, or face reprisal. 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.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'', Kazuma Kiryu, "The Dragon of Dojima", is considered TheParagon and all-around biggest badass of the criminal underworld, leading to at least one rival per game being driven by jealousy or ambition to defeat him and become the next "Dragon", frequently with the TattooedCrook sporting dragon tattoos of their own just to emphasise this trope[[note]]And just for completeness sake, two have carp tattoos, [[LegendaryCarp referring to a legend where a carp that swims to the top of a waterfall becomes a dragon]] [[/note]].

''VideoGame/Yakuza2'' makes this an overarching element of the entire game's plot due to Ryuji Goda, an Osakan yakuza known as the "[[RedBaron Dragon of Kansai]]", [[BerserkButton 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.
