    re:Wakanda 9:00 it is important to note this is only an option if you're deemed to represent a tribe or are a Royal Family member. In this way it's a release valve for the pressure of civil wars (if 2 Royals are prepared to fight to the death this usually results in them ripping the country apart, not just each other's chests) and part of the confederated state's basis, being an alliance of several tribes acting as one. This is why Killmonger had to prove Royal blood AND have the tacit approval of several disgruntled members of the hierarchy who he'd impressed by his fait accompli of killing a major enemy who'd eluded the ruler's forces after he promised to get them. To even get the duel was a calculated matter of politiking. In most cases Trial by Combat had rules over who got to initiate it or deem it legitimate, e.g. in Westeros nobles may invoke it for certain legal proceedings.
