Synopsis

Megalo Box is an advanced form of boxing where competitors wear metal frames called Gear. When the first ever Megalonia tournament took place, "Gearless" Joe became its champion and known to all as a legendary fighter. However, soon after, he lost an exhibition match against the second champion and vanished from the public eye. Seven years later, Joe now goes by "Nomad" and keeps a low profile, occasionally fighting in a few underground matches to get by. He is haunted by hallucinations and relies on a set of painkillers to numb his mind. During a match, Joe wins against an opponent, Chief, who purposefully loses for some extra cash from gamblers. Subsequently, Joe discovers that Chief is from a community of immigrants called the Casa. Chief is gradually trying to make enough money to purchase the land where they live illegally. At first, Joe hesitates to get involved, but eventually decides to lend the Casa a helping hand. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I was gracious with the last episode, but the dialogue is even worse somehow. The plot is decent it’s a redemption arc, Joe takes the place of his late partner. However, the antagonist is a one-dimensional villain, why does he do the things he does. Why does he hate the migrants, simply because lives to be a hater. Nuance does it exist, it doesn’t seem like it does. The migrants are accused of committing crimes, but it’s the Mafioso esque indigenous people who are criminals, recruiting kids to do their dirty work. It could have worked perhaps a close relative of his was murdered by a migrant, or he fell in love with one but it was unrequited. It won’t justify his actions but at least he won’t be a caricature.
