* Speaking of which, ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' is another example of this trope.
** Sorta kinda. Once Team Dai-Gurren actually ''win'' they become their own authority, and the epilogue appears to feature the kind of ultra-high-tech society (and its military) that wouldn't really get built if everyone spent their time rebelling for the sake of rebelling.
*** This is a point of the [[DecoyProtagonist character]] [[CharacterDevelopment development]] of Simon vs Kamina. Kamina would always have found something to rebel against, some further powa to rowrowfight. Kamina fought to fight. Simon fought to achieve a goal, and when he dug through it meant he'd emerged into a world he could live in. Team Dai-Gurren could never have become anything more than a rebellious guerrilla unit without the change of leadership.
*** Except Kamina DOES say he wanted to make a better world for people and was far less of a {{blood knight}} than he acts. He even admits its mostly an act to encourage Simon
** Row, row, fight the power!
* ''[[Anime/CodeGeass Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion]]''. Right there in the title. Heck, Lelouch attracting followers to [[LaResistance his rebellion]] through sheer charisma is a major plot point. Though it helps that TheEmpire he's rebelling against is only a couple steps shy [[ANaziByAnyOtherName of being a Nazi regime]].
