It doesn't allow on page examples.

Stumbled across a cutworthy example in Characters.Blue Archive Abydos High School

• Five-Man Band: Fitting, since the Foreclosure Task Force are literally the last five students in the school.
  • The Leader: Hoshino
  • The Lancer: Serika
  • The Heart: Nonomi
  • The Smart Guy: Ayane
  • The Big Guy: Shiroko
  • The Sixth Ranger: Hifumi

That sixth ranger also seems out of place because the page only contains the 5 main characters of abydos....

Found this in Characters.Yandere Simulator Female Students:

• Five-Man Band: When Megami is included, they fill the archetypes, albeit as Hero Antagonists instead of as heroes as protagonists.
  • The Leader: Megami Saikou. She's in charge of the Council as the President and finalizes all major decisions. She also fits as doubling as The Hero since she is going up in a confrontation with Ayano.
  • The Lancer: Kuroko Kamenaga. She is the Number Two as Vice-President. Also, her Dark Secret shows her relationship with Megami as being central to her character. Other than that, there are notable contrasts. Megami is passionate, extreme and Family is a Positive Topic for her. Kuroko is emotionally subdued, diplomatic and Solitude is a Positive Topic for her.
  • The Big Guy: Aoi Ryugoku. Appropriately enough, she is known as the "Enforcer" of the Student Council. Her problem-solving consists of intimidation, if not outright violence. She's noted to be as strong as Budo Matsuda and Osoro Shidesu. It also fits that she's Hopeless with Tech, which adds to the archetype as fitting for Dumb Muscle characters.
  • The Smart Guy: Shiromi Torayoshi. As the Student Council's Treasurer, she would be required to have good management skills. Additionally, Shiromi is noted to be the best with computers, which contrasts with Aoi. Though, it also fits with her role as an information gatherer. She's also a good manipulator since she's able to cause a fight between students whenever she needs a distraction.
  • The Heart: Akane Toriyasu. As a secretary, she is called upon to be good at handling people. Otherwise, it should be noted that her emotions and relationships are very key to her character since her Dark Secret is whether or not she is truly a positive individual or if it's all an act.
  • Sixth Ranger: Ayano Aishi, if the player chooses to join. Can turn into Sixth Ranger Traitor if the player uses the position to violently or underhandedly take out Megami.

It's usually a five-woman band because ayano joining depends on the player and there is a lot of context. How could it be rewritten?

I'm rather curious: Where did the former requirement that The Heart be female come from? All that did was rub it in the face of those who believe that requiring that one role be a certain gender or it's not a Five-Man Band is nonsense. That's just Flame Bait.

Am I that troper? Maybe, maybe not, the world may never know.

The requirement was for The Chick to be female. And The Chick was quite literally just "The Heart but female". That example feels very much like someone just swapped it for The Heart without doing any of the actual cleanup. Lovely.

Also the gender stuff literally doesn't matter, plus the roles have been scrapped. Just rewrite it to focus on the team dynamic.

The question I intended to ask was: who decided that the old definition for Five-Man Band required The Chick to be a member and why?

Am I that troper? Maybe, maybe not, the world may never know.

Fast Eddie. For reasons.
