Of course it should be. Just like, for instance, when you toss a small animal in a lion's cage, you know it'll get killed. When you're a judge and it's clear your decision would not benefit society one bit (quite the opposite), you're a damn bad judge if you make it regardless.

If you like Blitzball, try Captain Tsubasa II (in English) for NES!
