Hybrid Theory

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

You need leadership and organisational skills, not a standard part of the martial artist toolkit.

Very true. Ranma, for one, has an excellent grasp of individual and very-small-unit tactics, but his strategic talents are about as effective as Ryouga's sense of direction. And while he can often get the duck and the pig to follow him into a crisis, he's never once managed to keep them on-mission.
Really, he'd have a hard time ruling a small apartment, let alone anything bigger. Cologne, now, is certainly a leader... but probably too mired in her society's traditions to manage to bring any significant number of outsiders under her heel for very long -- it'd be far too much of a culture clash.
Really, most grandmaster martial artists have better things to do than take over anything. Unless it's a few years after 199X and the world has already gone to hell.
