Vivid Strke Specials are an unusual case. Rather than simply being "specials" as the name would suggest, these episodes actually provide several revelations to some characters, which may not be so obvious at first glance, and even less so when you realize that: first, there are only three; and second, that only one of them is a full-length episode. These episodes aren't anything groundbreaking, but they help to explain certain plot elements that wouldn't be obvious at first glance, necessarily. The more obvious of the two is the correlation between the first and second episodes. Standalone, they don't do much. Together, they provide an interesting contrast:the first shows Fuka's relationship with Nakajima Gym, and the second Rinne's relationship with her Frontier Gym. It's pretty telling of their contrast to show the different ways they practice, gain experience, and bond with others. The final episode is a complement more than anything; it wraps up Fuka and Rinne's arc and gives a worry-free relaxation ep, gathering up all the main characters thus far since ViVid (which is still a lot) for a fun beach adventure. Overall, this was an enjoyable side adventure and good as an extra. However, you may be disappointed by the filler-ish nature. 7/10.
