Nobody talks about these three minutes. That's the crime. Megalobox already dismantles everything glossy about sports anime, and these specials go further, they're not training montages or tournament padding. They're Joe and his crew living in the margins between fights, breaking bread, stealing moments that the main show couldn't afford to linger on. The boxing stops mattering. What matters is a kid who escaped nothing learning that having people matters more than winning. These shorts understand that the realest victory is staying alive together in a city built to grind you down. You'll find them buried on Blu-ray discs that cost money to hunt down. Watch them anyway.

MEGALOBOX Specials is a set of three short episodes from 2018 that came as extras with the Blu-ray releases of MEGALOBOX. These brief bonus shorts mix action, drama, slice of life and sports, and they are not full-length episodes.
