Which side character should get their own anime?

It doesn't have to be anyone particularly close to the main character, just someone you believe has a story that could make a great show. I know some shows do have spin offs that focus on side characters, so which one do you think would be a good choice for it?

For example, I think a show about One Piece's Gold Roger would be interesting. It could be a show that follows his journey to become the pirate king as a prequel to the main show.

In a lot of long-running shonen side characters play a big part in the story and hence are deserving of their own arcs and anime. Some that come mind are -

Garp (One Piece)
Ging (HxH)
Thors (Vinland Saga)

Postino from Ou Dorobou Jing. Would love to see the parody of Deus ex machina plot devices travel the surreal and illogical world of Ou Dorobou Jing by motorcycle and deliver clues or plot expositions to MCs in need of help.
Tochirou Ooyama from the Leijiverse. Gun Frontier is already close, but I want something primarly focussed on Ooyama instead.
Jun Aikawa from the Zaregoto Series. Give me the Saikyou Series if you're not going to continue the Zaregoto anime.

Pretty sure there was a similar post like this a while ago so I'm just gonna say what I did before

If there was a spin off of Isabella from promised neverland and her past story I would watch the shit out of it

I'd love to see Naruto from Boruto get his own spin-off series, he seems like he's been through a lot. I think it would be pretty cool to see his journey to Hokage.

Suzuha from Steins;Gate, you don't even have to come up with the ideia, This Manga and some others already expanded a lot on the character, they only need to adapt it into an anime

The writers of beatless treated kouka like shit so they should give her her own show to do her justice

As someone above said - Hijikata Toushirou from Gintama.
Also, Fujimoto Shirou from Ao no Exorcist. We saw a little of his backstory and it looked quite interesting. I would really like to see a spin-off anime about his younger days, kinda like Sinbad from Magi got one.

True, I can think of multiple One Piece characters that could have great shows. Also, not sure which I want to see more, the original story of Garp or the

I actually thought about Gintama but then realized most characters get their own episodes anyway, Toshi and the Shinsengumi especially. I have a feeling if you compile all their episodes into a show it could still be coherent enough by Gintama standards and have more content than most shows these days. Regardless, I will be happy, just as long as it's not a Hijikata cooking show...

Thanks for unintentionally reminding me to continue watching Bungou Stray Dogs, and yeah, a Kakashi Gaiden (extended) anime could be really nice.

This really threw me back to the past. I remember watching the show years ago on TV, sadly I have no memory of the actual plot and only have a vague feeling it was a good show. I believe this is going on my "rewatch" list ^^' (I really hope it's as good as the impression it left on me when I initially watched it)

Apologies then, I had the thought there could have been another thread with a similar topic but couldn't find one when I looked around. I'm not too surprised though as I haven't been active for long around here and could have easily missed it (still learning how to navigate the forums). And yes, I think just following Hisoka on the same timeline of the show could be great, not to mention getting some backstory :) (haven't watched Promeised Neverland yet, though it is on my "to watch" list)

Recently found opinions that Chika should have her own show. Didn't watch the anime but I agree.

I feel like there are many people who would easily spend their time on an entire show of Chika dancing.

Had a feeling I would see this somewhere around here :P

Yes. Please. She is one of the most interesting characters in the show and it always felt we didn't get enough of her.
