Apart from enjoying one-man army moments from their favorite characters, anime enthusiasts also love to see a coalition of individuals with a distinctive skillset because as H.E. Luccock said, "No one can whistle a symphony, it takes a whole orchestra to play it." Each person in the team has a different approach to a problem than the other, and after they put their mind together, they can turn the odds in their favor.
In the anime universe, there has been an ocean of teams on both sides who have managed to overwhelm their opponents with their numbers and teamwork. These teams are known for their collective strength and impeccable combat skills, which is why going against them is considered straight-up suicide.
