My Hero Academia: Vigilantes

My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is a thirteen-episode TV series that premiered in April 2025 as a spin-off set in the same universe as the main My Hero Academia franchise. The story follows Kouichi Haimawari, an ordinary college student without heroic prospects, who gets pulled into the world of vigilantism after meeting Knuckleduster and Pop☆Step. Unlike the main series' focus on sanctioned hero training, this show explores what happens when people with Quirks operate outside official channels to protect their communities.

The series blends action, adventure, drama, and fantasy as it examines the gap between aspiration and reality in a world where superpowers are common but heroic opportunities are scarce. Vigilantes offers a different perspective on the My Hero Academia setting, centering on characters who take justice into their own hands rather than following the traditional path to becoming licensed heroes. The complete season has finished airing, so all thirteen episodes are now available to watch in full.
