Top 10 Groups That Could Overthrow the Government

Welcome back, my fellow rodents of the internet! Maddi and Rylee are back for another wild top 10 list, but don’t worry, this one is all jokes and imagination. Today they’re talking about groups that they think could genuinely overthrow a government, not any specific real-world leaders or countries. The sisters explain right up front that the list has less to do with politics and more to do with the sheer fictional power these characters and teams hold. From beloved cartoons to massive anime armies, they break down who has done it before in their own stories, and who could definitely do it again. You’ll hear about the fearless kids from The Backyardigans, the all-powerful trio of the Powerpuff Girls, the legendary anime team behind G-Force, and even massive fantasy forces like the Archons from Genshin Impact. Each pick comes with nostalgia, laughs, and a little bit of chaotic sibling energy. This episode is exactly what Literally No One Asked is all about, imaginative, playful, and a little unhinged, with three of our favorite categories mashed together: cartoons, anime, and pop culture. So grab your thrifted guinea-pig hats, settle in, and enjoy the very first episode of 2026! 🎙️ 00:00 – Welcome back, Literally No One Asked family00:33 – Music00:39 – #5: The Backyardigans02:30 – Backyardigans as secret trained spies02:37 – #5: The Crystal Gems (Steven Universe)02:49 – “They overthrew one government already”03:37 – #4: Edward & Alphonse Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)04:48 – Invincible metal boys with justice arcs05:46 – Sponsor: Rylee Llanes Social Media Services06:11 – Transition into #3 picks07:39 – Honorable Mention: Turkish Delight from Narnia10:19 – Middle insert segment10:57 – #2: Eggs cooked on Calcifer (Howl’s Moving Castle)11:45 – Avatar crew talk12:58 – #1: The chocolate cake from Matilda13:35 – Final cake debate: Max & Ruby vs Matilda14:28 – Sponsor: Lunar Clawz22:50 – Final thoughts and outro22:59 – Music ✨ Follow Us & Our Businesses * Rylee’s Business Page: Rylee Llanes Social Media Services (@ryleellanessocialmedia) * Madi’s Business Page: Lunar Clawz (@lunarclawz) If you were going to pick ONE fictional group to run the world, who would you trust with the job?
