But first, what is My Hero Academia: Vigilantes about?

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes serves as a prequel series set five years before the main story, and explores the gritty side of heroism, where operating outside the official hero system means confronting both petty criminals and emerging villains without the backing of established pro heroes.

The series follows the journey of Koichi Haimawari, a college student with a modest quirk who dreams of becoming a hero despite not being licensed. Struggling with everyday challenges and minor crimes, Koichi’s life takes a dramatic turn when he is rescued by the mysterious vigilante Knuckleduster.

Alongside street performer Kazuho Haneyama, known as Pop Step, Koichi is drawn into a world of underground justice. Fans can expect to see familiar pro heroes in My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, such as Eraser Head, Present Mic, Midnight and Ingenium (Tensei Ida).
