Whether villains or heroes, a group of people makes a show fascinating—it shows suffering, sadness, friendship, revenge, and adventures, making the show extremely entertaining and exciting.
Today, we will talk about the 23 best anime crews, who are almost basically the show’s backbone. Sit back and relax while we take care of the rest.
BEST ANIME CREWS/GROUPS THAT WILL HYPE AND INSPIRE YOU

Team Rocket is one of the most feared and well-known teams in anime history. I don’t believe there is anyone who hasn’t heard about Team Rocket. Wait a minute! Are you not aware of it? Don’t worry; I’ll explain everything.
Team Rocket is Pokemon’s most feared antagonist team. Jessie, James, and Meowth made up this team. Team Rocket’s primary goal was to steal everyone’s Pokemon, and they were also obsessed with Ash’s Pikachu.
Team Rocket appeared in almost every Pokemon episode to take Pikachu, but instead of snatching it, they were always struck by Pikachu’s thunderbolt and sent screaming into the air.
Team Rocket is the only antagonist team loved by everyone because they are too hilarious, and it’s pretty fun to watch them fail EVERY TIME.
22. The Black Bulls (Black Clover)

Before I tell you anything about the Black Bulls, I’d want to express my opinion: the Black Bulls are the most devastating and influential group, and they can’t be defeated.
This squad is well-known for its aggressive actions, thus it is regarded as the worst of the Clover Kingdom’s nine squads.
When Asta, the MC of Black Clover, joined this team, the Black Bull’s harsh image faded. This group has more than 15 members, including Asta, Henry, Luck, and many other great members.
The leader is Yami Sukehiro, a tall, muscular guy by appearance. This group is my favorite squad in Black Clover as they give the total badass vibe.
21. Corsican Mafia (Banana Fish)

The Corsican Mafia is one of the most badass mafia gangs in Banana Fish led by Papa Dino, a wealthy, eccentric, ruthless, and clever old man. This mafia was known for its cruelty and illegal drug trafficking with Banana Fish.
The Corsican Mafia was the most feared gang, but when a mishap occurred between Papa Dino and Ash (Ash was Papa Dino’s adoptive kid), Ash’s group began sabotaging the Corsican Mafia resulting in a gang war that killed many people.
Moreover, the Corsican Mafia is named after a real mafia clan in the underworld of France.
20. Karasuno High Volleyball Team (Haikyuu!!)

Next on our list is the Karasuno High Volleyball Team, the team filled with positive energy. This team is full of emotions, and you’ll also feel happiness, sorrow, and the pain of losing if you are following their journey on becoming the number 1 volleyball team in Japan.
No list of strong anime crews/groups would be complete without a sports anime! Many referred to Karasuno High’s volleyball team as “The Flightless Crows” as they were in their struggling phase until some first-year students joined them, they immediately provided them the push they needed to compete at nationals.
These underdogs can take on the greatest volleyball teams in Japan, thanks to their exceptional new players, coaches, mentors, and incredible cooperation.
If you are a sports lover, you will fall in love with this crew just by glancing at it.
19. Odd Jobs (Gintama)

Moving on, we have the Odd Jobs, also known as The Yorozuya. This group is unlike any other anime crew you’ve ever seen. Some teams are known for combating terrible individuals, while others are known for their harshness.
It’s completely different in Gintama’s case. This group is well-known for assisting one another, and we cannot refer to them as a group since they are more like a family to one another. But that’s not all; all they do is fight with each other (in a hilarious way).
They also have a massive, gorgeous dog on their squad who is simply adorable. Wait, you don’t know what kind of jobs they are? Let me tell you something: as the name implies, they can do any sort of task for money, and they are always serious about it.
18. Class 3-E (Assassination Classroom)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

19/30 |
Class 3-E from the Assassination Classroom is on number 18. They are regarded as the lowest–ranking class in Kunugigaoka Junior High School. Furthermore, their class is well-known for failing and breaking the rules.
You’re probably wondering why they’re on this list if they’re that stupid, right? Well, they didn’t do well in school, to be sure. That is correct, but their powers were out of this world.
This group had 28 members, and when they were assigned the duty of assassinating a strange creature who was threatening to blow up the planet, they became a little worried.
But they didn’t give up and held one another’s hands as they believed in each other. What happened next will be revealed after watching Assassination Classroom, so watch it now.
17. The Survey Corps (Attack On Titans)

19/30 |
As we all know, everyone in Attack on Titans is going through a tragedy. The Titans are getting extremely dangerous, and there is no way to stop them. They keep on coming and slaughtering everyone.
To deal with this problem, the Survey Corps was formed, a group whose main role is to go outside the walls. They were a section of the military, and they were tasked with dealing with those ruthless giants. The Survey Corps was more of a ray of light for humanity, but something dreadful happened to them as well.
In the end, only five members survived, including Levi and Mikasa, while the others were killed in combat. The Survey Corps were indeed the backbone of this anime.
16. The Phantom Troupe (HxH)

Next, we have The Phantom Troupe, a gang of violent criminals who are social outcasts. They have a simple procedure for entering their organization, which is to murder a member of their group and take his place (are you astonished by the cruelty? Well, me too).
They have 13 members in their crew who are responsible for a variety of horrific crimes. This group is led by Lucilfer, one of Hunter x Hunter’s most influential and merciless villains. Don’t think of them as an ordinary group of robbers as they are more scary than that.
I get chills when I see them in action because they are so intriguing.
15. The Seven Deadly Sins (Seven Deadly Sins)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

6/10 |
20/30 |
The Seven Deadly Sins is a group of 7 people regarded as Britannia’s most powerful knights. Every member of this group is suspected of committing a crime, and as a result, they are despised by society.
People accuse them of being traitors, but they don’t care. Each of the Seven Deadly Sins possesses tremendous strength and talents. They appear to be the antagonists of anime based on their names. However, they are not the true villains.
14. The Black Knights (Code Geass)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

Total |
7/10 |

7/10 |
20/30 |
The Black Knights is an organization of political rebels whose purpose is to liberate Japan from colonial domination by Britannia.
When Zero joined and became the head of this gang, it began to grow in strength. Zero is not just any ordinary man but a man who possesses the Geass, a mysterious supernatural power.
This power lets him enter other people’s minds and manipulate them according to his own desires. In general, Zero is a selfish individual who just thinks about his own goals and is capable of betraying anybody.
We saw a lot of betrayals, emotions, and combat sequences throughout the anime.
13. Straw Hat Pirates (One Piece)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

7/10 |

7/10 |
21/30 |
The Straw Hats, the most magnificent and strong pirate crew looking for treasure in the sea, are on number 13 on our list. The Straw Hats are a group of ten people that live together like a family.
All members of this crew possess exceptional abilities, and they all rely on each other. Watching them having chats and doing crazy adventures is worth watching. Monkey. D Luffy, the MC of One Piece, is also a part of this crew.
Moreover, if you want to see a realistic example of friendship, brotherhood, and loyalty, you should watch their adventures since they are a great example of all of these.
12. Night Raid (Akame Ga Kill)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

7/10 |
22/30 |
Night Raid, as the name suggests, is an organization that operates at night. They are assassins who solely hunt down and kill evil groups and individuals in order to keep society peaceful.
Night Raid was presented to us as a cruel group of assassins who loved killing people, but they were the total opposite.
Despite the fact that everyone regards them as a gang of killers, they are extremely close to each other. They eat together, they rejoice together, and they even cry with one other when they are sad.
No matter how the world sees them or treats them, they always have each other’s back, and that’s enough for them to live a happy life.
11. Bebop Crew (Cowboy Bebop)
Impact |
Awesomeness |

22/30 |
How can we talk about the best anime crew without including Bebop Crew, the most courageous bounty hunter in the entire universe? Spike and Jet Black were the original members of this gang. Jet Black was the crew’s captain, while Spike was his companion.
The dynamic duo captured several villains and won the title of the best bounty hunters. They were then joined by new members, all of whom Spike despised. Spike is a simple man who appears to be a thin guy with many combat abilities.
He only hates animals, women, and children (because of personal reasons), all of whom later joined his group. Together, they all started their new journey of making more money by capturing bounties while helping each other.
10. Twelve Kizuki (Demon Slayer)

The Twelve Kizuki, also known as the Twelve Demon Moons, are a group of the most potent demons who serve Muzan, the leader of all demons. The Twelve Kizuki is further subdivided into two portions, the Lower Moons and Upper Moons.
Both Lower and Upper Moons consist of 6 powerful demons. The reason they are stronger than the ordinary demon is that they receive a small amount of Muzan’s blood.
The Twelve Kizuki is one of the cruelest crews in anime history as they don’t care if it’s a child or a woman; all they worry about is eating them.
9. Aogiri Tree (Tokyo Ghoul)
Impact |

Aogiri Tree is an antagonist group that is created by Eto. Their main motive was to destroy the CCG organization so that Ghouls from all over the world could live without fear. Moreover, Eto is an evil girl who wants Ghouls to rule over the world.
The Aogiri Tree consisted of thousands of ghouls as well as some mysterious S-rank ghouls such as the One-Eyed King, Kaneki, and many others. They were so powerful, and I actually liked this crew because they made Tokyo Ghoul really interesting.
8. The Hunter Association (HxH)

The Hunter Association is often referred to as the Hunter Organization. This organization recruits fresh candidates so that they can be prepared to cope with The Phantom Troupe and other issues.
This is a government organization, and those that pass the hunting tests receive several perks such as free travel and other luxuries.
If you believe that becoming a hunter is a simple procedure, you are mistaken. The examination has so many stages and the aspiring hunters must pass them all before they can be issued an official license.
Being a hunter is considered a respectable and responsible job, and if you ask me, I am a big fan of this crew only because of Gon and his group. I love watching them saving their friends and travelling together.
7. Fairy Tail Guild (Fairy Tail)

Moving up, we have the Fairy Tail Guild, or we can also name it the strongest guild ever. This amazing crew was scattered after a war, but it was once again rebuilt by some of its old members.
Fairy Tail Guild is more than simply a crew—it depicts how difficult it is to survive without a bond. You’re probably wondering why the Fairy Tail Guild is so awesome, so let me explain.
Fairy Tail is widely regarded as Fiore’s strongest guild because of its courage, unshakeable principles, and collaboration. While the main characters are always bickering and getting on each other’s nerves, it is their tight relationship and ties that make them a formidable team.
6. The Hashira (Demon Slayer)

On number 6, we have The Hashira. This crew is considered as the highest-ranked fighters in Demon Slayer Corps. They all have one goal, which is to kill Muzan along with all the demons he has created.
The Hashira’s are extremely strong, and in order to become a Hashira, you must kill 50 demons or kill any of the 12 Demon Moons. Each Hashira has their own unique Breathing Style, which they learned from great masters and mentors.
They are the only known demon slayers who can kill members of the Twelve Demon Moons—making them a threat to demon existence.
There are now just 7 Hashira remaining in anime. Can they slay Muzan’s head and fulfill their only wish? Please let me know in the comments.
5. Anteiku Squad (Tokyo Ghoul)

Anteiku Squad is the only innocent group in Tokyo Ghoul whose sole objective is to create an atmosphere in which humans and ghouls may coexist without fear. Anteiku is a café that does its utmost best to pacify and feed ghouls that are unable to devour people.
Ghouls, as we all know, can only consume human flesh and cannot eat conventional food. They search for people who have already died and feeds them to their group in order to put an end to the human killing.
4. Team 7 (Naruto)

How can we forget Team 7 while talking about the best anime crews? Team 7 consists of Kakashi, Sakura, Naruto, and Sasuke, and when they are together, no one in the whole world can defeat them.
Each member of Team 7 possesses unique abilities. Kakashi is known as the Copy Ninja, whereas Sasuke for his perfectef Sharingan, Sakura for her tremendous strength and as one of the greatest medical ninjas.
Also, Naruto possesses tremendous chakra, whereas Sasuke has perfected the Sharingan in such a way that no one can easily touch him. They are more powerful than The Akatsuki when they work together, and I love them.
3. Z Warriors from Dragon Ball Z

On number 3, we have Z warriors. Z warriors are the most powerful group in anime history. This group consists of Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, Trunks, Goten, Krillin, and many others. The Z Warriors are strong enough to destroy a planet easily.
The establishment of the Z Warriors serves as a potent reminder to Dragon Ball viewers that the series is more than just a fighting show and that there are a variety of intriguing characters to make you root for a battle, marvel at power techniques, and dance along to a fusion dance.

The League of Villains is the most dangerous crew of My Hero Academia. What makes them so powerful? To begin with, its members have extraordinary abilities: Dabi’s Cremation quirk produces a hotter flame than anything else shown in the series.
Tomura Shigaraki can make whatever he touches crumble to dust, Nomu, an army of research experiments that serve as killing robots, and last but not the least All For One, the leading man behind League of Villains.
The only goal of League of Villains is to kill All Might and destroy the Hero Academy, but the question is, can they do that? Let us know in the comments section what you think about it.

On number 1, we have The Akatsuki—the most ruthless and badass crew in Naruto. Their primary goal was to gather all the Jinchuriki. This organization was formed by the legendary man—Madara Uchiha.
They were gathering all nine Jinchurikis in order to seal them all together so that everyone could live peacefully. The Akatsuki’s members are all powerful. The Akatsuki made this show fascinating because all they do is fight.
