Synopsis
Two eleven-minute pilot shorts made in 1969 condense the opening of Ashita no Joe: delinquent boxer Joe Yabuki meets trainer Danpei Tange and squares off against the skilled Toru Rikiishi. Made to sell Fuji TV on a series before Tomorrow's Joe existed as a show, the two segments dramatize Joe's first bouts and the rivalry that follows him into the ring. Later released as DVD bonus material, they are a compact preview rather than a continuing story.
