Series Synopsis
In the future, society is split between the licensed citizens of the cities and the unlicensed residents of the slums. Despite the division, one sport has risen to resonate within the hearts of everyone: Megalo Boxing.
Unlike its traditional counterpart, Megalo Boxing competitors wear specialized suits known as Gear which amplify both speed and striking power. To celebrate the sport, an unprecedented tournament is announced. Dubbed Megalonia, its purpose is to crown the undisputed Megalo Boxing champion of the world. The event is open to all licensed citizens. For unlicensed citizens, they are expected to only watch.
Such a barrier, though, is not enough to stop ambition.
An incredibly skilled but nameless, not to mention unlicensed, boxer (voiced by Yoshimasa Hosoya) has his eyes set on reaching the top. Through less than legal means, the fighter procures a fake license and takes the name Joe. With the preparations set, Joe and his team are ready to take on Megalo Boxing’s best.
