Roman emperor usually adopted people that were still in their extended family (usually nephews) if it was meant to be the heir. You could say the roman "gens", was kind of an extended family and was very important to the romans. So yeah it was often a matter of competence, or sometimes they didn't have legitimate children, but still, the adopted were rarely strangers. Or at the very least, they were rarely the heir. I can only think of Trajan as a case (Nerva was kinda forced to adopt him, so that he would become the heir), that being said I don't know that much. But for example Octavius (Augustus) was the nephew of Caesar, Tiberius was the nephew of Augustus, Nero the grandnephew of Claudius, the father of Hadrian was the cousin of Trajan, Marcus-Aurelius was the grandnephew of Hadrian (even if there was Antoninus between them, he was never meant to keep the power and had to choose Marcus Aurelius after him) etc...

The reason why eugenics is scary is that works... Your discussion about the “normal people” is actually addressed in subtle ways even in this episode. Zero made Ohgi second-in-command, ranking even higher than Toudou. I think Zero felt it was important to keep the perspective of the more run-of-the-mill people—specifically to avoid getting blindsided like he was when he was leading random resistance groups before. With the full context in mind, I think this specific set of episodes does a lot for the worldbuilding—a facet that’s often overlooked by many fans of the series. Honestly, I could write three full essays just on the topics that caught my eye in this episode alone. (plz dont dare me i an busy ) 1. “Discrimination against the Numbers is national policy” — this is actually a pragmatic approach that ties into your comment about Suzaku being seen as one of the “strong,” aligned with Britannia’s might-makes-right philosophy. It’s an intentional push to pressure the dominated populations into abandoning their former identities and assimilating, as a way to escape the harsh treatment. 2. Personally, I think Cornelia is, on a personal level, completely meritocratic—but she’s also very aware of her role and the impact of her actions. That’s why she’s so harsh with Euphemia in this episode. Euphy’s actions, while well-intentioned, could have consequences that don’t align with her goals, and Cornelia wants her to be more aware of that. 3.On the topic of how “normal people” perceive things, I think the show actually provides a wide range of supporting characters that offer valuable perspective. Ohgi, for example, was going to be a professor but ended up leading a resistance group after the death of his best friend—Kallen’s older brother. Back at the academy, we have Nina, Rivalz, and Shirley, and even the other students to some extent. They each show different ways that everyday people process and respond to the larger conflict.
