Of course, this is a given since the series has No Fourth Wall. Sometimes with the main characters complaining that they've been pushed to the sidelines. When Hayate the Combat Butler does these with recurring minor characters, the fact is usually stated enthusiastically by said characters.The episode is based on a number of omake from the manga, where Riza 'disciplines' Black Hayate. Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) has an episode that focuses on Mustang's team.

Chapter 480 of Bleach which largely focuses on Ryuunosuke Yuki and Shino, two minor characters who were just introduced and barely had any plot relevance, other than being Afro-San's replacements.

In Citrus, an unnamed Meganekko that appeared in the beginning of the manga, with the only other appearance was near the end of chapter 2 to give a school speech, was given 2 pages in Citrus Special issue 1 between her, Harumi and Himeko, giving a slightly playful observation to their relationships.

And they've figured out that Laios's party was the group that 'stole their treasure', and think that they have unsavory motives, and are now making moves to stop them. They survived their last 2 encounters, one of which was against the corpse hunters who seem to be intent on killing them and profiting off their deaths.

That party has been given more development in chapters 32-33.

This has happened twice already - once with Treasure Bugs who paralyzed/stunned the entire group and they would've been possessed by Spirits had Marcille not prayed over them, and again when a small, teasing argument between the Knight and the Magician who loves him over Humanoid Mermaids caused them to be ambushed and killed by Piscine Mermaids.

In Delicious in Dungeon, another party of adventurers who don't know a thing about cooking monsters occasionally take the spotlight, and are inevitably all killed before the focus switches back to the main characters passing their corpses.

The whole episode is dedicated to show the perspective of common folk on the nations, plus showing the audience a more serious and charming side of France (which the audience loved).

An episode of the fifth anime season of Hetalia: Axis Powers focuses on a french man whose grandfather had met France when he was younger, and now this man runs into France on a street in Paris.

Not to be confused with Star Trek: Lower Decks, which is an entire series focused on 'Lower Decks' crew members of a Federation Starship in the Star Trek franchise. An entire series of Lower Deck Episodes (within a larger 'verse) is an Innocent Bystander Series. May overlap with The Greatest Story Never Told and Poorly-Disguised Pilot.

See Breakout Mook Character for full spinoffs for mooks. See A Day in the Limelight for a secondary character given the spotlight and Villain Episode for villains.

Short films of this nature are sometimes included as a special feature for the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Hollywood films, particularly animated films. Named for ' Lower Decks,' episode #167 of Star Trek: The Next Generation, an episode that is notable for both revisiting the life of a minor character from an earlier episode and killing off that same character before we actually see the changes previous events have wrought. The main cast are seldom entirely absent, since they have to get their Mandatory Line in somewhere. Lower Deck Episodes sometimes arise when the crew is behind on their film schedules and have to shoot a Bottle Episode or piggyback two episodes at the same time note Depending on contracts actors may get less pay if their normal role is reduced for an episode, and conversely the pay rate of a day player or guest star may still let the episode come in under budget. Not coincidentally, the principal actors are needed a lot less for this sort of episode than in a typical episode. An episode focused primarily on otherwise minor characters, using their point of view to give an outsider's perspective on the central plot or characters (countering the assumption that The Main Characters Do Everything).
