!!Aragaki
!!!Voiced by Makoto Tamura
Former war veteran and Nanbu's student when he was running a gym. After losing both his legs to a IED he began boxing for a veteran's association, using prostetics instead of legs, and is currently ranked sixteenth in the Megaloboxing ranking.
----
* AchillesHeel: His issues with Nanbu leaves him very conflicted and open to psychological attack by Joe. [[spoiler:Also, his legs are about to give out on him, meaning he can't keep boxing for much longer.]]
* ButterflyOfDeathAndRebirth: Hallucinated one as he lay dying from the IED, and later had one tattooed on his chest as a reminder.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Half his face is scar tissue, and he's presented as a conflicted person.
* HandicappedBadass: Ranked sixteenth despite having no legs, and considered a good shot for the fourth slot of Megalonia.
* {{Foil}}: Serves as one to Kim Yong-bi from ''Manga/AshitaNoJoe''. Both are skilled boxers and former war veterans whose lives were ruined by war, but Kim is a {{Jerkass}} TheStoic while Aragaki is a ShellShockedVeteran who's more conflicted than 'bad'. [[spoiler:Kim gets a [[BreakTheHaughty karmic defeat]] courtesy of his Joe, while Aragaki manages to let go of his grudges and willingly forfeits.]]
* FragileSpeedster: He has extremely good footwork and incredible reach, but his prostetics limit the weight of his gear, making him only about as strong as a non-geared boxer. [[spoiler:He also can't box for too long because of the strain it puts on his legs.]]
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:Forfeits the match after the fourth round, because he's been able to work out his issues and his legs were giving out anyway.]]
* PocketProtector: A somewhat dark example. Nanbu gave him a (losing) gambling ticket before he shipped out (Nanbu had hoped to win money for a farewell dinner with it), joking that maybe it would stop a bullet. [[spoiler:The ticket fell out of Aragaki's jacket as he was about to kill himself, causing him to break down and be unable to go through with it.]]
* RevengeByProxy: Tries to get revenge on Nanbu by pulverizing his student in the ring. Joe has to point out to him that he's actually fighting ''him'', not Nanbu.

* {{Determinator}}: As Nanbu points out, Junk Dog will ''not'' give up.
Added DiffLines:
* NotAfraidToDie: Similarly to a certain [[Anime/CowboyBebop famous anime character with the same hairdo]], Junk Dog is defined by his complete nonchalance towards death and being hurt.

!!!Voiced by Shirou Saitou
Junk Dog's trainer, fixer and longtime partner, who arranges the fights Junk Dog fights in and takes marching orders concerning their outcome.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's essentially Danpei, but with no trace of alcoholism or abusiveness towards his charges or the boxing league. The ease by which he's able to enter Joe into Megalonia suggests he still has rep in the boxing world and the only person with ill will towards him is Aragaki.
* EyepatchOfPower: Like Danpei, he is missing an eye, but he's still a good boxing coach and able to give Joe practice in the ring.
* FatalFlaw: His carefulness and tendency to give up. He ends up butting heads with Joe repeatedly over when to fold them, considering the latter's {{Determinator}} attitude. [[spoiler:This leads him to punch out Joe in episode 7, causing him to forfeit his match rather than risk having Joe's forged ID found out.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He may act grumpy and overbearing towards his charges, but he's also shown to care genuinely about them.
* TheMentor: To Joe, obviously.
* MyGreatestFailure: When he believed Aragaki had died in the war, Nanbu fell into a deep depression and closed his gym. Realizing that Aragaki was alive all this time and he never tried to find out makes Nanbu feel deeply guilty about it.
* TeamDad: For Team Nowhere.

A street kid and leader of a small gang of orphans, who is also a Megaloboxing fan. He is hired by Joe and Nanbu as assistant coach for the team.

* BerserkButton: Stay away from his hat.
* GenderFlip: To Sachi.
* NiceHat: Wears Joe Yabuki's iconic hat, which is implied to be a gift from his (deceased) parents.
* SatisfiedStreetRat: Seems to have no problems being a street rat.

!!Yuri
!!!Voiced by Creator/HirokiYasumoto
Professional boxer and the current top-ranking Megalo boxer, and therefore the favourite to win the four-man Megalonia tournament.
----
* TheAce: Lays out Junk Dog in less than three minutes in their first match, and is repeatedly touted as the finest boxer in the tournament.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He's able to read Junk Dog instantly, basically letting him see through all of the latter's moves.
* BadassBaritone: Yuri has an extremely deep voice that adds to his sinister-ness.
* NotSoDifferent: He's equated to a dog, just like Joe, but a well-trained champion dog with an owner (Shirato) instead of a stray dog who has to fight for scraps. Ultimately, neither men are able to fight for their own sake.
* TheRival: To Junk Dog, though somewhat one-sided as Yuri starts out at number one and Junk Dog can't even enter the Megalobox rankings due to a lack of citizenship.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Junk Dog is Yabuki Joe analog from ''Champion Joe'', but needless to say, while he shares many of his attributes, he lacks the original' sexism and general nasty attitude. This is also exemplified in their motifs: Joe was associated with bulls due to his anger issues, while Junk Dog is associated with stray dogs.
